An interesting thought on the Autism Epidemic

[link to www.autism-end-it-now.org]


The above link really gives moms to be something to think about. In a nutshell, this article suggests that immediately clamping and cutting the umbilical cord at birth is causing brain damage in our babies. When the cord is clamped before the baby's own organs are fully functioning, the brain is deprived of the mother's oxygen and iron rich blood. Even a few minutes is critical at this point.

A baby's body will naturally seal off the umbilical supply at the correct time. This usually takes less then 10 minutes.

I never really gave this much thought because both of my children were born at home with a midwife and neither cord was clamped and cut until it stopped pulsing. Neither of my kids are autistic, even though my first was a long and difficult delivery.

Very interesting food for thought! I still feel that vaccines are doing FAR more harm than good, but this article makes perfect sense. I know many women who homebirth and their kids are much healthier than those born in hospitals.
