bullet1 Birth Voucher Certificates -- Pay mothers to have Blue Ribbon Babies

    Birth Voucher Certificates -- Pay mothers to have Blue Ribbon Babies, the view of Donna Young, Mother and Grandmother, Natural Birth Education, dyoung@pris.ca

    Birth Voucher Certificates -- Please share with your medical insurance programmers in your State, Province or Territory that we should be paying the mothers-to-be to attempt to have Blue Ribbon Babies.  This Url is:  www.lotusbirth.com/doc/FEB2003Lotusbirth-951.htm


WHAT INSURANCE COMPANIES HAVE VICARIOUS  LIABILITY OF INTERNAL DAMAGES TO THE MOTHER AND CHILD FOR PAYING FOR ACTIVE MANAGEMENT -- FOR PAYING FOR UNNECESSARY BIRTH PROCEDURES AND CARE AND TREATMENT TO THE CHILD NOT NECESSARY, BUT MERELY COSMETIC?

    Also ask the insurance medical programmers to STOP including cosmetic removal of the child's placenta as they are aiding, by the payment, in the unnecessary harvesting of the child's placenta blood.  The delivery fee, apparently, is by a flat fee. The medical insurance programmers may be held liable for vicarious liability in the payment of unsafe medical malpractice that needlessly endangers and weakens any child hasty clamping is done to.  The visual evidence of deprived blood is then harvested, and often unknowingly of the risk to the child by the parents.  Any doctor or nurse or the insurance payment programmers may be committing a felony as to an offense against the person.

    Only if a cord tore, or a knife accidently nicked it, need a cord be tied.  But then, a full investigation of a cord tearing would be required, as that is not natural, and may be also medical malpractice.  Cords are tough and do not tear unless the baby was dropped or the cord pulled on for some reason, or nicked with a knife. A competently trained person does not usually make such mistakes.

    For the mother to obtain a suggested $3,000 birth voucher they, and possibly the natural father of the child or care person taking on responsibilities, must know about natural birth education and practice versus the potential harms of the mother being actively managed by medical persons.  The Active Management birth policy have been made dangerously threatening to the mother and the child as they imposed drugs on the uninformed and poorly educated mother.  When the drugs are used they cross the placenta, and unknown to the mother, by lack of proper warnings to her by the nurses, the doctors, and the Administration policies of the admitting hospital for their services on their premises, not investigating what are best practice possible least risk of harm to "both" the mother and the child, have gone along with immediate cord clamping on the child's lifeline, the umbilical cord.  The cord is quickly clamped, and the baby often goes into need or resuscitation process, of giving back blood and oxygen.  The blood that is given back is an inferior or endangering source, not the child's own blood, now deemed possibly toxic from the drugs given the uneducated, and uninformed mother.

    Many law suits are taken, but never do the law suits include the threaten trend of early umbilical cord clamping.  The lawyers are avoiding the lost and destroyed volumed of blood denied the child, so the law suits have not stopped or investigated the threat to the child, of low blood volume and low pressure. When the child experiences low blood pressure and low volume of blood, the child is often caused to be mentally retarded, in some cases mildly, their potential genius destroyed, in other cases more severally, that total independence of life has been denied them.  The usual enjoyment of life are often that marriage is not their normal options, having children as they can't accept the responsibilities in raising them, and income limitations that have the usual enjoyment of life of liberties with good revenue.

A CONDITIONAL BIRTH VOUCHER CERTIFICATE:

     By supplying a conditional birth voucher certificate to cover the 'high risk of internal damages' active management policies (what mother informed would accept them), the insurance programmers could require the teaching of the mother of natural birth process to recommends her to avoid drugs that require her and the child to be weakened and endangered, needlessly.  

How is the mother endangered by active management?

    The mother is endangered of the quickly clamped umbilical cord causing an engorged placenta.  This placenta, now entrapped with the child's deprived blood that was need for his/her expanding lungs, knowingly causes the risk to the mother of a condition called feto-maternal transfusion _Journal Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada (SOGC) Chapter 8, The Third State of Labor, p 62, December 1998, re: Prendiville W and Elbourne D. Care During the Third Stage of Labor. In: Chalmers I. Enkin M. Kiese M. eds. Effective care in pregnancy and childbirth. Oxford University Press, 1989 (1991); 1145-69, Table 67.15.

    The neonate's blood and the mother's mix.  She is then under threat to take drugs, to prevent a blood disorder, that if not controlled, her next children may never be carried to a healthy maturity.  The drugs pose a threat to the mother's health as they may have heavy metals in them, such as Mercury (Thimersol).  

     PREVENTION OF UNNECESSARY MATERNAL RISKS:

    If the natural birth process was correctly stated in all reproduction, health, biology and science textbooks, and prenatal classes, the mothers and fathers planning a family could know to have a natural undrugged birth and prevent anyone from clamping and/or cutting off their baby's umbilical cord, and to wait for the natural completion of the child's birth.  And they would know that the pioneer's method of Primal Birth Traditions, leave the cord and placenta to fall of naturally, will result in no transmission of germs or viruses, that can cause an otherwise healthy child to die within days of the clamped, tied and cut cord.  

     SUPER BUG VIRUSES PREVALENT IN MANY MODERN HOSPITALS ENDANGER ALL BABIES:

     In the care of the umbilical cord that is cut, there are overwhelming reports that the cord can become infected, and the estimate of infant deaths to blood infections are 500,000 deaths a year, including deaths to infants in Western Hospital, that also do the ritual of modern science, of cutting off the placenta, for cosmetic reasons as well as harvesting the placenta, the cord, and the placenta blood, all done without informed consent, in most instances.  The evidence of fact of infections getting inside a baby blood stream, and that is only possible by a nick in their skin by a needle, or through the navel from a cut cord.  Two babies died in December 1998, in the B.C. Children's Hospital and 47 others were at risk from a deadly MRSA bacteria.  Methicillin-Resistant Staphyloccus Aureus may be airborne, or brought in on clothing of those that visit or care for the babies. MRSA was an outbreak of hospitals during the 1960's, ravaging hospitals with infections and deaths.  Again, in the BC Children's Hospital, September, 29, 2002, The Province, "DOCTORS KEEP VIGIL OVER BABIES STRUCK BY SUPERBUG AT HOSPITAL", page 1 and page 3A, reported three premature babies were struggling with MRSA and 38 babies were being secluded.

    Infections of the blood stream to the newborn child is not an "over there in developing nation's problem" it is an anywhere problem, where infants are not cared for naturally, in the home births, or the institutions.  The pioneers of Canada and the United States, the wise ones, as well as in small villages of the developing nations, wisely did not tie or cut the cord.  There babies never got sick and the cord and placenta were off naturally, in a day or two's time.  Their babies, unless killed by wars, and bad lifestyle habits, or accident, lived a very long time, such as the persons now living at 108 years of age, some older, and my parents, living, both of them ages 91 and 90.  What did these persons have in common?  Natural birth, no tying, clamping or cutting the cord, and they had no insertions of needles, that could inject airborne diseases present in that environment where the baby is being cared for, or in the vaccination, itself, being injected in a newborn child.

DUTY OF NO HARM DONE:

    The natural process of care of a baby born in any emergency situation, implying a no assisted birth, will not change just because the mother births in any institution.  The same care of no tying or clamping of the cord, is logical not to endanger either the mother or the child with risk of virus or blood mixing by tampering with the natural design of the any placenta mammal's birth. the same process of an emergency birth, should not normally change if she births in any medical birth institution, private or public.

     Warning :  Emergency Birth is just doing everything naturally, keeping the child and mother safe and warm and doing nothing to their bodies or persons, that could endanger them or cause them to get infected by your clothing, or your hands.


MEDICAL TOOL FOR GOOD OR A WEAPON OF HARM:

    No medical person should have an instrument in their hand, which might be a knife, scissors, or string. No medical person should be using their hands for harm, such as hand-squeezing and letting-go the lifeline.  Demonstrations should be sufficient to students in spoken words of logic, without demonstrating on a human baby as an experiment.  Logic that a compressed cord, the child will need the placenta blood all the more not to be tied or clamped off during birth. This child will be weaker in heart and will take far longer to transfer the placenta blood into the expanding lungs.  Patience for all children, rather than shortening for time convenience of a busy staff, should not be the criteria in the timing of the clamping of the cord, that the child has sufficient blood to survive, the cord clamped before the placenta is expelled, indicating, the placenta now is a flat cake, easier to birth and without risk to the mother or child of feto-material transfusion.

    Either the hand or the clamping took can be instruments of threat to the uneducated mother and to the child, and the public at large, when having babies are the least informed of deception and motives, concealed, that the hospitals had policies approved, that once the doctors amputated for cosmetic reason the placenta organ, they were using it, as they willed, without informed consent how that organ, blood vessels, and blood and tissue would be used in science and tranplantation of tissues.  The blood has many suspensions that the normal centrifugal machine can separate the basics of blood, white cells, red cells, and platelets, leaving plasma that is dried and kept forever.  All were more valued than gold and the selling of the services of collection and management would be far more valued then the actual delivery fees of the child.  The child may just be a by-product for the real raw materials desired by commercialized institutional births.  If the majority of medical practitioners were not aware this was going on, in the storage of placenta, and in their various labs and larger medical training lab, in major hospitals, I believe they ought to have know with very little investigation, or questions asked.  


    The duty of all adults, regardless of their professional connections is to report child abuse, and when medical persons were creating policies and protocols that were an attempt to excuse endangering of the mother and the child, it is the duty of the Courts to be fact finders in proper trials of those involved in putting forth false information, that can be seen false by visual care of the placenta. Visual facts of the placenta are seen in c-sections, and in placentas that were born by vaginal births, when the placenta were engorged of blood after the medical person clamped off a yet a functioning and pulsating umbilical cord, or was caused to stop pulsating as to hypothermia, coldness, by birthing a baby in a cold birth room and failing to provide warmth to the child, while yet on the umbilical cord.  The cold causes the baby's blood circulation to cease, by hypothermia shock, the baby is wet and needs immediate warmth, that a mother would do, logically, but was trusting in the competent and ethical and moral care of her child.  When this was not done by logical and prudent and reasonable persons, a breach of fiduciary trust to birth in the community hospitals.  There, by silence of lower standards of care and disrespect to the mother and her child or children, caused endangering practices that were imposed on the mother.  Failing to report endangering to the persons by failing to maintain the highest standards of medical science and knowledge has resulted in a uniform false policy to take hole of all medical persons and we are seeing that evidence of a hoax of care and bragging of negligence care, set by experts in Emergency Manuals today, as well in the hand's on training of medical persons, attending emergency births.

 

LOGICAL CARE OF AN UNTRAINED PERSON AIDING A BIRTHING MOTHER:

     All a person, ever has to do for a mother giving birth, is keep her warm and the child kept warm when born and to leave the cord alone, no tying and no cutting.  The mother after the placenta is born, and all pulsations has cease, can do the amputation with a a sterilized cutting tool and thread, if necessary she consents to risk of infection of the blood, if she does want cosmetic removal, but it is not wise or needed to be done.    

    If the cord is around the neck, the cord can have a sponge or finger put between the cord to keep harm from the neck, but the baby is breathing through the umbilical cord. This if if you do not meddle with the cord and injure the baby and the mother, too.  The baby breathes through this lifeline and not through their mouth, or nose, at birth. They will be on a dual system, breathing air and from the umbilical cord, too, yet doing gas exchanges for the baby.  The baby will pink up, if kept warm, as more oxygen enters her / his system.

    All that is necessary in any emergency or even a hospital birth is wrapping the baby in a warm clean towel.  If you have another clean towel, then wipe clean with a clean cloth the baby's face and mouth, very gently.  That is all that is necessary.  If you can, do change the wet towel around the baby for another clean warm towel.    But any threat of a gagging tool, that if used, on the baby's nose or face, can cause the baby to gag and have a heart attack, or stroke. To use this syringing bulb, even at a hospital, may also be removing natural enzymes that protect the child from viruses.  

    These healthy enzymes are called lysozyme , they are powerful and can destroy many kinds of bacteria.  They are found in egg white, human tears and most body fluids.  As early as 1922, researchers have known that the enzymes lysozyme, found in nasal secretions, has important bacteria-destroying powers (Science News letter), WBD, vol II, p 1247.  So if you think medical labs are only after the placenta blood, they may be have these body fluids as well, to sell on the open market.  Nothing of the human body may be wasted in science and has some value to someone, eh.

BIRTH VOUCHERS WHO PAYS -- WHY NOT THE MEDICAL INSURANCE COMPANY:  

    Why would not the insurance medical companies NOT want to pay the mothers to have blue ribbon babies? If the average birth costs $6000, then the medical insurance plans are getting a bargain to pay the mother, herself, for a natural unassisted birth, in a rented birth room in a hospital. The compensation is suggested to be $3,000, the costs of services of drugs, she pays for with her own responsibility of their harming her, and crossing the placenta and damaging the child, even if the child lives.  Birth is natural. It needs really no assistances, in most instances.  So compensate the mothers who birth naturally.

    The medical insurance programs that pay the medical persons, today, are paying for many who are not competently or ethically trained to touch a newborn baby.  Too many babies are being damaged after the care of a medical person, the rise of CP and MS and autism and holes in the heart are testify to that fact and babies having a large medical budget, who are under one year of age.   This is because those licensed really are not competently trained in child birth, and they include some of the 9-1-1 ambulance medics, and a good many of the doulas, nurses, and midwives, MDs and surgeons.

    This statement, specifically, applies to those who have been trained or have been meddling with the child's pulsating umbilical cord, otherwise the child's life line, the hope line, the quality of life line, and life, at all line. These medical persons may have been meddling with the lifeline for dubious reasons, that include the third party billing expense for collecting blood and tissue and organs.  While the practice may be paid by the medical plans, what was happening was not with informed consent of the legal guardians of the child.  These medical persons, may have been working as agents of the medical system and in the hospitals who have taken the blood to use in the experiments of the day.

     Is a specific hospital known to do this.  Yes.  The Royal Alexander Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.  To my knowledge they, yet, continue, to harvest the baby's placenta blood. If this hospital admits to doing this, then most hospitals will likely be doing this, too, all secretly, too.  

    The use of the placenta and the placenta organ, was first expressed in a Christian's concern on using the baby's blood for human transplants.  The article stated, "just tell the doctor how you feel, and trust appropriate discarding."  Did you laugh?  Appropriate discarding by the laws of the land mean use in stem cell research and the policies of the day are previously collected tissues require no informed consent.  This is true as to the Tri-Council Policy Statement, August 1998.  The Awake issue, was dated 1997.  See Table of Contents, www.lotusbirth.com

    What is the duty of the Christian to protect babies from being exploited and harvested for their placenta blood, thus weakening them? It is God's will that no child be endangered or weakened, not by one hair on their head.  And Not by one drop of blood taken, either.  That is the duty of all Christians to protect the child from being harvested, in any Nation, on Planet Earth.  We are on the same Planet, are we?  Do something in your area, NOW!


SIMPLE RESOLUTION TO A LONG-TIME PROBLEM, HARVESTING BABIES -- WEAKENING THE BABY -- THIS IS CHILD ABUSE:

    I have shared with the World Health Organization that we PAY MOTHERS TO ATTEMPT TO HAVE HEALTHY BLUE RIBBON BABIES:

    These are view of an experienced mother, who has been there and done that, and knows there is better for the women out there, today, having babies, in the same unnecessary method of being actively managed, when they, themselves should be totally in control, if factually educated.

    The payment program I have suggested to WHO is conditional. Money is not just to be handled over to the mother who has birthed a child.  The conditions of payment are the sum of what is left after the mother pays, from the provided credit funds, her own requested medical services, in child birth.  If the mother volunteers to be actively managed, she pays for what she expects done to her person.  


     I advocate giving the mother a $3,000 credit, at any birth center.  From this credit, the mother can sign informed consent of the risks of any drug, or gas used in child birth labor discomfort, and chosen long before the birth of her child for informed consent of all risks known, even a death of a woman or child, as a side-effect of the drug taken the drug and that she is now requesting.  Women in child birth must have a duty to accept her own responsibility and liability to the child's well being, by stating she is aware of the risks of any gases and drugs as they all cross the placenta and can impair the baby's brain and nervous system.  And no drug is safe as to allergic reactions, unpredictable, and to storage and quality of how the drug is made and by whom.  


    By signing a waiver of the risks, the mother informed, truthfully informed of all risks, assumes the duty of mothering an impaired child often caused by active management policies and procedures.  Natural birth is much safer as it does not have the risk of allergies, as no drugs are knowingly taken or herbs the mother is not aware of.  Therefore, paying mothers to take their own risks by informed choice means the tax payer and society is not only taking the risks and costs of raising an impaired and compromised child.  Duty is implied for both the mother and the father to be truthfully and factually informed on a child's birth process, and that they can handle the birth, in an emergency, if necessary, without harm to the mother or the child.  


    The duty of care to the child will be to the father and the mother of the child, so make sure the father is supportive and educated too. Some fathers do try to dump their duty and responsibility by not being prepared for fatherhood, by being truthfully and factually informed and assisting in the best decision possible for the pregnant mother and her child.  All should be informed of the risks of Active Management and the risk of any birth, natural or by a c-section birth.  


     THE CREDIT BIRTH VOUCHER :  What the now-educated mother accepts, ideally before planning a family for informed decisions, the cost of that care is deducted from the birth credit voucher.  And the mother has anything left after paying for Active Management, is her decision.  She can go no cost or low cost of natural birth education and practice.  The birthing mother is to be totally in charge and any money, after paying for allowed care, and drugs, and whatever, what is left in her birth credit voucher account is hers to keep, for her own needs or that of her baby or babies.

    The repeat business of internal birth injuries to mothers and the children harmed by drugs should be reduced and the higher costs of educating impaired and compromised birth-injured babies should be reduced, too.

    Mentally impaired children that get in trouble with the law, those who are looking for an easy way to earn a living, when they can't meet the challenges demanded of higher education, may be reduced as well.  

    All of society benefits by having children born who are allowed to be born equally and to have their fullest genius potential left intact. The child is not discriminated against by race, by color (blood type), by sex, by his/her mental or physical disadvantage, by age, or by the family's social status, or the mother's marital status.


    If the birthing mother can become educated for natural birth, all she need pay is for a rented hospital room.  I advocate rented hospital rooms, for if the unplanned, happens, an upset in the perfect birth (don't know of one yet), the mother is close to help if accepted.  


    The money credit is per child, so if the birthing mother has twins, or more children, she leaves with $3,000 per child born.  


     Can multiple births be born naturally?  Yes. The Dionne (Quints) sisters, all five of them, were born in the family home.  This was in the year, 1934, near Callander, Ontario, Canada.  If the doctor, a family doctor, was competently and ethically trained, he would not have tied off a pulsating umbilical cord.  Each quint would have had her own share of the blood as to her individual need, the rule being as in the womb sharing of one placenta, first come, first need.  The quintuplets, the first to survive in the world for any length of time, suggests that the rural family doctor was ethically and competently trained, as most of the quintuplets lived, a long time.  I believe two, now age 70, yet live.


    If the average birth costs $6,000 for medical services, then the system is ahead in savings, if they do start paying the mother, the money left in the voucher account, after she pays for her choice of labor discomfort, or uses natural methods of pain relief.  

PAIN MANAGEMENT OF THE UNEDUCATED AND INEXPERIENCED MOTHER:

    The most painful of births is malposition of the child, in a face up presentation.  His/her back is against the mother's back. This pain can be more distressful if the amniotic fluid is low. Sometimes the water breaks, and this condition may be caused by an anxious mother doing things to herself, tired of being pregnant and focused on a due date, she then becomes desperate to terminate the pregnancy.  In doing so, she may damage herself and her child, causing the water to break outside of the baby birthing, as it would normally.  Patience and waiting for natural birth presentation, rather than contrived, may be the best decision the mother makes. So she can say no to offers of gels and creams that absorb into her body and distress the child by crossing the placenta.


    That is why from conception to birth, mothers planning a family should be better educated. They can be easily manipulated near the end of the pregnancy, anxious.  The water the amniotic fluid is known to increase and decrease, and in birth, it is protective to the child in the birth canal, from disease and from injury.  It need not be broken, but may be broken in natural birth.  The baby is breathing through the umbilical cord, and babies are all born, a normal fetus circulation color, bluish. Again, they pink up on a dual system, breathing on their own and yet breathing and exchanging gases through the placenta, yet, attached inside the mother's womb, and yet, engorged with placenta blood, yet to be transferred into the child's expanding lungs.  This process cannot be rushed, as it is the baby's heart controlling the transfer rate from the placenta to the lungs.  


    The amniotic fluid, before the baby is born, the amount may be determined by the mother's own volume of liquids taken. Rather than drugs used to relax the mother nearing the end of the pregnancy, she is strongly suggested to merely get more rest, and fresh air and light walking exercises before her due date.  The due date can and often is wrong, so she should not pay too much attention, a week before or two weeks late is normal.

    Rule of thump is relax, don't worry, and Don't Panic.  Go by intuition of the baby's movement or lack of it.  Babies, in most instances, know what to do.  Suggestions of no harm birth are to have a warm water birth. The water is not too hot and not too cold. Simply bring the baby's face out of the water, it is not a fish.  Warmth of water is refreshing. A forward leaning birth chair have been used. Even a well-cleaned out toilet have been used for mothers to sit on in Emergency births. Just don't birth flat on your back or in a semi-sitting position.   

    Avoid any birth-chairs that lean backwards, they close the birth canal up to 30 percent. They also give unnecessary power of control over to the birth person, and the mothers should have the control, not a stranger touching the baby's person, or the mother's body. Hand's off births are the mother's right. Battery ought to be charged more when others think they can take liberties of a mother vulnerable in birth. Some men and women have touched women, in birth, inappropriately, thinking it, themselves, a good idea, and had no permission to touch the mother or the child, in that way.  In some cases, the touching as to the child's lifeline was reckless, risking injury to both the mother and the child.  

    The worst offenders, of unnecessary care to the birthing mother, may be the emergency medics, who assume they are protected from civil or criminal liability. They think this because some cities assume the liability of paid medics as the City's employees.  The city takes on the vicarious liabilities of their employees.  The medic may not exceed liberties assuming no accountability of any Good Samaritan Act. Generally, medics just keep a person warm to take them to professional help and don't meddle, themselves.  Emergency care is doing only what a reasonable and prudent person would do, nothing more.  This is true of the Non-profit groups, who assume individuals are not accountable of what they do or act in non-profit group. If that were true, exemptions were given left and right, no one would be a reasonable or accountable person as we are called to be as adults.  Many adults still wanting to act like the weaker sex, not accountable, and that is a myth, too. Females, nurses, doctors, are not excused on the account of their sex, nor of their age.


    These suggestions cost nothing but the cost of the warm water, and walking and changing the mothers birth positions.  The water, hopefully, clean, (not like Canada Walkerton's contaminated water), relaxes the mother and reduces anxiety.  A tad of bleach may be recommended to add to the water, the mother's options, if she is using a water tub that she takes responsibility of it being clean.


    The mother should be happy being in control and having a signed Birth Contract outlining, on one page, what will not be done to her person or her baby.  The baby, if naturally birthed then should be a blue ribbon baby with full immunities by not clamping or cutting the umbilical cord, ever.  The choice being the mother.  The baby, cord and all, is gently wrapped in warm towel, that is changed frequently, to keep the baby warm and dry.  The cord is not tied, nor pulled on.


    The afterbirth:  The placenta is expelled,naturally, and the cord, is still not tied or cut.  The placenta, too, is placed in a waiting warm towel, which is changed, frequently. The cord is not ever tied or cut.  So there is no risk of infections getting into the child's blood stream through the cut cord.  


     Facts of cutting the cord, it endangers the child:  A cut cord takes 5 to 15 days to heal.  A unclamped cord and placenta falls off in two day's time. The facts are the cut cords are the cause of over 500,000 babies death, that were otherwise healthy babies.  They died of blood infections through their cut cords, or they died of virus getting into their bodies by needles inserted for taking out blood samples for genetic testing, like for PKU.  Don't allow it, be in control.  In Dublin, Ireland, it was going to be a charge of battery if the medical persons insisted on inserting a needle to do a PKU test on a child, the parents objected. NO such tests or injection can be imposed on the child, for the parents and not the medical persons are legally in charge.  Many medical persons forget that.  And the duty to protect the child from medical battery of touching the cord invasiveally or clamping it, is yet to be taken against any medical person for imposing their own policy of care, Active Management, which is not acceptable to some parents, and it is not approved or allowed or consented to by the legal guardian, the parents. Battery is a fair legal charge to deal with medical persons, who may conceal the fact they do harvest the baby's blood trapped in the placenta, then taken and sold.


    CUT UMBILICAL CORD VIRUS THREAT:  Here are examples of Super Bugs killing Western Babies,

    Two babies died of such blood infections in the Vancouver Children's Hospital in 1998, and 47 others were threatened. Then, again, on September 29, 2002, three babies were struggling to live after being threatened with the Super Bug.  These were premature babies.  These are facts that is not just developing nations babies that are at risk blood infections, and likely, through a cut cord.


    The Super Bug is MRSA, Methicillin-Resistant Staphyloccus Aureus .  It can be in airborne threat or brought in on the clothing of any person visiting the babies.  The MRSA bug was discovered in the early 1960s after it ravaged hospitals with infections and deaths.  The bug can be found on catheters, hospital cottons and cuddly bunnies.


    Healthy people can keep the bug at bay, but the young and the old are at greatest risk because their immune system may be weakened.  Babies early umbilical cord clamped, because they are being harvested and premature babies have the higher quantity of stem cells. It is for this reason, the premature child is more vulnerable to be sought harvested by many blood samples taken every other day.

    Scientists have discovered that the bugs acquired genes to resist antibiotics from other bacteria. Treatment is the use of Vanco, or Vancomycin, used as a last resort.  The risks to the baby is in injecting more bacteria that could worsen their precarious health. (Reference:  The Province, Sunday, September 29, 2003, P1 and Page A3).


HAVING THE BLUE RIBBON BABY -- BY A SIGNED BIRTH CONTRACT:


     The blue ribbon baby, born by a signed Birth Contract, how the child is cared for, will be the reward the mother owes to herself, and to the father of the child.  This is if the birth mother elects for a no drugged birth, a warm water birth, and catches her own baby. Following the birth of the baby, she does not faint to leave the cord and placenta attached and to show respect to the placenta which is born about 5 minutes to 20 minutes later.


     In that period of time, nothing to the cord should be done but protection so to keep the cord flexible and not pulled on. The Mother's Signed Birth Contract states and is signed for others NOT to clamp or cut the cord. That is a legal right not to have cosmetic surgery or meddling of the child's lifeline.  


    The mother can leave the hospital, the same day, with a healthy baby. The mother is wise not to allow the baby to go anywhere out of her sight, where the unethical staff may seek to syringe out the placenta blood for selling on the open market.  Some babies placenta blood is worth $30,000 an ounce, if it is rare.  European and Asian blood mixes are most valued.


    Of course, the merits of being a blue ribbon baby, is depended on the proper education of both the mother and the father. They need to be in control of a natural event. There should be no secrets in the care of the child or the mother.  The would-be-parents implied duty is to make their own volunteer sacrifice to have a healthy baby.  These parents-to-be owe it to themselves of this right to have strong healthy children.  So voluntarily they choose to avoid pollution areas where conception in those areas may damage the embryo from the beginning.  And to avoid such contaminates after conception that would harm the mother and her developing embryo, the fetus and to the on-going protection of the neonate after birth.  This means leave the cord alone.

    

    After conception, the mother voluntarily has avoided food and beverages and drugs that are known to cause birth defects at the time of conception, and have avoided even scanning of the baby.  It is a known science statement that the state-of-the-art-technology, is not known to be safe, or reliable in information.


     The Dangers of Scanning the Fetus:

    Many women have been misguided as to the condition of the child, so some persons warn not to use scans for frivolous reasons, like determining the sex of the child, for example.  One scan often leads to more curious seeking scans and are misused as a teaching tool. What is happening, one cannot correct a problem, the choice often is an abortion. The fetus just being exploited, running up medical fees, too.


    In some situations as to false reading of the scans, women, fearing a damaged child. Regrettably, they aborted healthy babies as to doctors suggesting they have a problem. One common statement is they fear the baby has a hole in the heart. This is a true statement, all babies have a hole in the heart in the fetal heart development stages. The heart begins as a long tube, doubles up, becomes two chambers, and after birth there is a division of closer of the by-passes windows, for the heart to be a four chamber heart.  The heart may even change its angle, too.


    The doctors is referring to the normal fetal heart development of the openings, the ductus arteriosus and/or the foreman ovale .  These are by-pass windows, because the lungs are not getting the blood. The by-pass windows will close if the baby's heart volume and pressure is maintained by not clamping off the umbilical cord until after the placenta is expelled, if clamping and cutting is the preference of cosmetic removal. If the baby has low blood volume and pressure, by early umbilical cord clamping, the holes in the heart may not seal for up to a year, I've read.


    Some mothers gave their wrongfully aborted fetus to research.  They found out they had aborted a healthy baby by misinformation of the scans.  Most mothers, today, do not scan their babies, so that is additional payment to the mother, in my suggested birth voucher.  This is for the cost of medical testing the mother had a right to decline what services she wants or is of benefit to the developing fetus.


    As to the damaged and compromised babies, many of their defects are now suspected as being medically caused by the state-of-the-art technology.  Nothing of our means of necessary intervention to help should be abused.  If the two parents taking their own responsibility to be informed, the benefits will benefit society, too.  This should be revealed in a decrease in health and education costs by fewer impaired children. The same budget, we now have to managed compromised children, can be used in their compensation for birth injuries imposed and then for greater opportunities in developing the abilities of talented children who should be born blue ribbon babies.  The World Health Organization should be behind blue ribbon babies for all to be born equal on Planet Earth.  The facts, today, we are damaging our babies.  One in 16 babies have defects, some minor, some serious.  Reference of that statement is to Inquiry Into Life, 9th Edition, Sylvia S. Mader.


OTHER CONCERNS THE BABIES AND THE MOTHER ARE NOT ADEQUATELY PROTECTED:  

    (see Petition:  Protect Babies and Mothers, Too   www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/102580814 This is intervenors request to protect helpless Canadian babies) and the USA petition to better educate the medical persons, is at: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/954816565 .

    The blood volume deprived any infant is from 20 to 50 percent total blood volume deprivation.  To give the reader better understanding of my research and a visual picture, a 9-pound, full term baby, only creates 10 ounces of blood, or 300 ml. (The World Book Encyclopedia, Vol. B. (Blood), p 324, 1979.  

    The average private cord blood bank accepts from 60 ml to 180 ml from the early clamped baby.  If you wait until the placenta is normally expelled, and all pulsation of the cord ceases, that can range from 10 minutes to over 20 minutes, there is NO blood to be drained from the placenta, the baby receives all the blood that they need to keep the baby well calm and well nourished with immunities to last them 100 years.  May parents have the best chance to see 100 years, they are 91 and 90, married 67 years, this September 5, 2004, God Willing.  They are unassisted home births.  Their birth tradition of their time was to put the placenta in a diaper.  It fell of in a day or two's time.  They were blue ribbon babies, living so long, and that is likely true of the births of any person now living to 100...no one meddle or harvested their blue blood, so keep the doc hands off your baby's cord, or see them in Court.

    No medical person who is not competently trained on the importance of the placenta and the placenta blood and the fetus to neonate circulation should not be in the baby business, this is true, if they are being unethical and do KNOW the value of the nutrients of the blood and are selling it, as being worth more than gold. Any parent suspected of requesting the child's blood saved for a rainy day, may be best not allowed to raise the child, either, if they are not getting competently trained and are acting for the baby's current needs, and not the future, or another's needs.  In the past, parents were not educated, but with internet, they have not good excuse.  


    As X-rays were to keep the dentist ethical on what was a cavity and what was not, internet to the medical doctor is the assurance to the public they are competently trained. On internet, the public at large can investigate policies of training of the doctors, on birth, which is not a sickness, so all intentions of care or practice should be public. Copy rights on such matters of that which involves no real medical services, other then protecting the mother is kept warm are very questionable.  The intent may be perceived as not in the best interest of the public, and making the medical practice on natural birth secret and confidential and that the mother is not educated to be able to protect herself or her child or the father of the child, or care person of the mother and the child.  When any one person cannot protect themselves from any organized group or level of government that is allowing the organization of any group to do things to another without informed consent, it may be regarded as a criminal conspiracy, and intentional harm, concealing motives of harvesting and profit by the medical care services provided.  The silence of the organizations of any group who were benefit, directly or indirectly such as benefits given to those cause to be weakened, when they had a duty to speak publicly of the harm concealed in protocols and policies and standard of care that were visually seen dangerous and not needed to be done, must have collective accountability to the organization and severally, of all those involved, who did not speak out at Conferences, and make Resolutions and did not de-license the organizers or executives and policies makers, that did print, and publish and put on films to be followed as a standard of care to all pregnant women, without information of safer choices, in natural birth, must have both civil and accountability by Due process of Law, or Rule of Law. Rule of Law as to the Human Rights Declaration must be seen to be upheld and not excluding organized medical or science groups from equal accountability of intent to weakened any one child, or risk the mother as is now being done, in policies advocating "active management" which uses drugs and early umbilical cord clamping, as a standard of care on all women, on Planet Earth.

    

The organizations, that are international and have admitted and printed policies that direct Active Management as the first choice of institutional births and in any birth managed by a professional person, such as a medic, or doula, up to the surgeons, are identified by publications and authors:


1.  The World Health Organization, by lack of clarity of Informed Choice for Natural Birth by a Signed Contract of the birthing mother, of her legal rights to refuse drugs and have safer warm water births, and no drugs, and no clamping off the umbilical cord, or amputation of the cord and the placenta from the owner/infant.  They have acknowledged that Primal Birth Traditions in leaving the cord alone and the placenta with the child, do no harm.  the World Health Organization advocated the allowance of the use of oxytocic drugs, but failed to give warning to the mother, that the acceptance of this drug, did then direct the endangering of her child, by causing the child to be early umbilical cord clamped.  The World Health Organization, failed to advise the mother of her rights to have confirmed on the child's own medical charts the weight of the child's placenta and the amount of blood syringed or drained from it, as to the potential internal and latent harm cause to the child by having now low blood volume and pressure, and the lost nutrients of the blood in hormones, enzymes, platelet, stem cells, interferon, white cells, red cells, stem cells, minerals, and vitamins (enzymes), and fluids and gases that are need for the reproduction of cells to maintain life and quality of life.


2. Directing Active Management the use of oxytocic drugs or in any manner the harvesting of the baby's organ, the placenta and blood:

Canada:

    Policy put in place that are conducive to harvesting of the child:

    1.  The Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada, POLICY #71, December 1998 and Policy #89 May 2000. They indicated they copied and did not dissent from the United States involvement of Educational Bulletins, and identified Policy #216 November 1995, of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.  Some of their references used were: Prendeville W and Elbourne D. Care during the third stage of labor, Newton M. Mosey LM, Egli GE, Gifford WB, Hull CT. Blood Loss during and immediately after delivery.  Obstet Gynecol 1961;17:9-18.  Selinger M. MacKenzie I, Dunlop P. James D. Intra-umbilical vein oxytocin in the management of retained placenta.  Often these studies seem to imply right to impose a standard of care on all women, when all pregnancies are different and the health individual, not standard, and that is for babies, too.


    2.  The Tri-Council Policy Statement Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans, Medical Research Council of Canada, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada,  August 1998, C.  Previously Collected Tissue, Article 10.3 (b)  "When collected tissue has been provided by persons who are not individually identifiable (anonymous and anonymized tissue), and when there are no potential harms to them, there is no need to seek donars' permission to use their tissue for research purpose, unless applicable law so requires.  (Note from D. Young:  The criminal code state the protection to the individual that doctors are competently trained and will not endanger any one person that the procedure is not a benefit to them, when the child is weakened by blood deprivation up to 60 % of blood, even if revived, the child has been compromised as to the any delay of oxygenated blood to any one brain cell or central nervous system.  The indication of the increase of health care costs to children under one year of age, comparable to the other age group, senior citizens, requires an investigation if all sick children had been weakened by policies of drugs given their mothers followed by immediate and early clamping, and the baby's blood used then without informed consent in research or human transplantation.  The revenue income for management and receiving grants for supplying tissue are traceable in all medical services provided per hospital, per lab, in Canada.


    3.   USA directing the use of drugs and immediate cord clamping on the pretense all women may be anemic and that the drug during labor and after the birth the child, is required training and practice, using oxytocin and followed by early cord clamping are these organizations by the policy set by their executives:

    i.  Policy #216 November 1995, of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

Policy alleged to Decrease Deaths During Childbirth by policies of Active Management, use of drugs and early cord clamping, are:

    ii.  International Federation of Gynaecologists and Obstetricians

    iii.  International Confederation of Midwives

    iv.  American College of Nurse-Midwives,

    v.  Johns Hopkins affiliate JHPEGO, IntraHealth International, Inc., and

    vi.  Management Science for Health, (ii to vi) identified along with the support of

    vii.  USAID, U.. Agency for International Development (ii to vii stated in USAID's press release, 2003-093, November 7, 2003.


    Various Medical Publishers, have published the protocols, suppositions, and questionable human experiments involving Active Management.  These reports, clinical studies, and randomized trials have been interpretated that institutional births imposed must be first choice of Active Management.  Most medical persons, trained today, therefore, do use these studies as a license to impose as appropriate care the medical persons choice and convenience of care their own will an care they imposed on the pregnant mother.  In most instances, the care is imposed without true informed consent of the dangers of the drug to herself and her child, and long term consequences as well, such as thyroid problems, or brain lesions caused to the child's brain membranes.  

    Some published reports not supporting Natural Birth Education and Practice, but only Active Management are:

     Management of the third stage of labor: an evidence-based approach  , Mary C. Brucker CNM DNsc, FACNM published, Journal of Midwifery & Women's Health, Volume 46, Issue 6, November-December 2001, p 381-392. This report compared active management that includes routine use of cord traction and uterotonins, whereas, expectant management can be characterized as one of watchful waiting. It stated in absense of research of the use of herbal therapies, homeopathic remedies, that the author believed on the basis of current studies, if a decrease in postpartum bleeding or avoidance of manual removal of the placenta is desired, they supported an active approach to third stage that the authors thought should be adopted until and unless contradictory findings are published.

    Other collaboration on their own belief but not necessarily of the mother's they intend to do appropriate care on, in active management supporting drugs, are:

     Active Management of third stage of labor: why is it controversial?  By Donna Vivio CNM, MPH, MS and Deanne Williams CNM, MS, published in Journal of Midwifery & Women's Health, Volume 49, Issue 1, Jan-Feb 2004, p 2-3. , 2004 American College of Nurse-Midwives, published by Elsevier Inc. This report was upholding the position of the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) and International Federation of Gynaecologists and Obstetrician (FIGO).
    The midwives, or these authors, were favoring active management on the basis that pregnancy complications are unpredictable, to quote:

    • (1) we cannot predict who will experience post hemorrhage (PPH) on the basis of risk factors and that
    • (2) they believed that active management of the third stage of labour decreases the incidence of PPH.

____________________________________________

    Most women have stated, when they go to a medical person assumed trained in child birth, natural birth, included, they are not advised of no drugs and for safer options to drugs like warm water birth, and safer birth positions, then flat on the back or semi-sitting birth positions; or the freedom of food and movement, rather then confining to a bed.  Women, are treated without true respect and are assumed not able to make, when in a natural pregnant condition, a mental choice when pregnant of her own care or that of her child's for both their best interest.  Not just that the mother has a satisfying birth, but the child's rights to his/her own oxygenated blood is not interrupted unfairly to the child's needs to be the best he/she would otherwise be, if the cord is not hand-squeezed, or clamped before the placenta, the completion of the child's birth, is finished.


INFORMED CHOICES AND DUTY TO RESPECTED ALTERNATIVE TO ACTIVE MANAGEMENT MUST BE FOUGHT IN THE COURTS:

    The above mentioned organized medical groups, along with their licensing bodies, that contract with each Province, Territory or State, and have communication at the Federal levels of democratic nations, and/of of dictators, have not allowed any one letter of concern of a member of society or of any of their own internal member's concern the duty of correcting false protocols that endanger any one woman, in child birth, by imposed medical policies that did take away individual rights of true informed choice of what was done to the pregnant woman's body. The information was false in the Biology science textbooks, on the dangers of drugs offered in labor, and in the position of birth, and in cutting of her body to give birth, which is not necessary in 93 to 95 percent of all births.  In fact, the Catholic Encyclopedia, stated the history of c-sections, was only done in the event a woman died in birth, then the hope to spare the child, was there any cutting of the mother's body.  C-sections are no safer today, then in the past, they are a very serious and major operation, and they have risen in an unquestionable manner, of time efficiency procedures, when women have not needed for medical reason, an operation to give birth.  The rate of increase from a normal 3 to 5 percent of needed emergency c-sections is now reaching past 26 percent, in the United Stated, and in some hospitals in Canada.

    The organized medical societies and colleges had their original intent to protect the public, and that includes they are not above the criminal and/or civil law or the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and/or the Constitutions of the Nations, that have a spirit of law, no harm done to any person, and that Rule of Law is there.  In the self-governing of the medical societies and the training of their members they have stepped-aside, on this issue, perhaps, others, of informed safer options.  They have controlled and allowed false information or no information on the allowance and safety to do natural birth and education, that was prevalent in the past, to the pioneers. The pioneers, again, did not do the removal of the placenta, so they did not have the risks of blood infections to the mother or the child.  The mothers did not have drugs that could harm themselves or cross the placenta to cause brain lesions.  The mothers did not have needles in their bodies for risk of airborne diseases, as they were birthing in their own home, and were immune to there own environments risk of disease, and they had their natural immunities as did their baby. They did not have blood samples taken of their child's blood risking at the site of an otherwise, healthy child, the risk of insertion of a slow or fast acting virus.


    We must, individually, or as a Petitioned Group, question the routine or the standard of care as first choice of the medical trained persons today, who are advocating the drugging women for fear of anything or clamping the cord for "fear" of anything. Fear of anything is not evidence based practice, it is a guess.  

    Active Management has disallowed natural birth education, I believe, because natural birth costs nothing, and at the most it could cost the space of a rented hospital room.  The savings of no need of drugs or hospital services, should give to the mother, at least one-half the cost of medical aid, not accepted, in the payment of the recommended $3000.00 baby cheque, or what is left of it, for natural birth education and practice.


    If the medical practice was imposed, and it was not true informed consent, but pressure of lies and miss-information, If I were you, I'd possibly consider a hearing before a judge if the care and treatment was not actually a felony consisting of medical battery. The judge decides to allow a medical issue of this nature, to go to trial for battery on the mother's person, or the child's.  

Best to your decisions,
