BIRTHING PRACTICES
Enlightened birthing practices can help reduce the stress of birth and enable babies to get a better start. Important practices include:
1. Do not expose the newborn to bright lights.
2. Allow the child to begin breathing on his own if possible.
3. Do not be in a hurry to cut the umbilical cord. Let all the blood go into the baby first before cutting the cord.
4. Allow the child to remain with its mother instead of being isolated after birth.
5. For low-risk pregnancies, and even for some medium-risk pregnancies, home birth is safer than hospital birth.
6. After birth, have your child checked over by a very competent chiropractor or osteopath. A simple adjustment or two can often help prevent many childhood problems. A session with a cranial-sacral therapist is not a bad idea, either. It is a lot easier to correct imbalances when a child is young, than when structural problems arise years later.
7. An underwater birth is excellent, assuming you have the right help and they know what they are doing. It is much less traumatic for the baby. Some doctors and birthing centers offer this excellent method of childbirth. You are placed in a sort of large, warm bathtub and your birth attendant or nurse gets in with you. Babies love this kind of birth, as it is much less traumatic and it is easier on you, too. Ask about it in your area.

VACCINATIONS
The author recently spoke to a mother whose child received the DPT vaccine at age one. Soon after, the child contracted pertussis or whooping cough from the vaccine. Afterwards, his development regressed, and he now has persistent developmental disability or PDD. This is a very common and sad story.
Vaccines are not responsible for the decline of major diseases, as we are led to believe. Read the article on this website on vaccination. Often vaccines do not work, and they are very dangerous. Vaccines are especially dangerous for babies. Longer-term effects of vaccines are also unclear and difficult to trace.
The structure of vaccines is such that there is no question that illness could be triggered later by the use of vaccines. Many vaccines are still preserved with mercury and aluminum, two very toxic elements.
Become well-informed on this issue. Read the dark side of the story, not just what the health department and doctors tell you. They are often simply wrong, and many doctors are in denial on the vaccine issue. A few excellent books include Murder by Injection and The Poisoned Needle. Health food stores often have books regarding the dangers of vaccines. Books are also available from the National Health Federation, PO Box 688, Monrovia, CA 91017.
