The Very Ugly Things For Babies

Aspartame, Neotame

Did you know that Aspartame (e.g. NutraSweet, Equal, etc.) and Neotame can cause BRAIN DAMAGE to an unborn fetus? This brain damage can be manifest as mental retardation, Cerebral Palsy, autism, ADD, ADHD, brain tumors, and a myriad of other brain related disorders!

• "... aspartame disrupts fetal development by aborting it or inducing defects. And if a live child is born aspartame may have heinously damaged the DNA of the baby, cursing future generations."
  James Bowen, MD

I am also convinced that aspartame, during pregancy or during nursing, is a major cause of brain cancer among many children younger than 1 year old.

In fact do not sweeten your food with any man-made substance, including Splenda. Use honey when you can, it is both antiviral and antifungal. (Note: Children under 2 should not be given honey, it is for mothers only.)

In adults, aspartame is known to cause brain cancer.

MSG, HVP, Cysteine

Did you know that MSG (monosodium glutamate) can also cause these SAME CONDITIONS because it has the same chemical properties (excitotoxins) as one of the chemicals in aspartame? It is particularly damaging when aspartame and MSG are consumed together!!

Did you know that hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) and cysteine can also cause these SAME CONDITIONS because they are also excitotoxins?

In fact MSG is in ALMOST EVERY PROCESSED FOOD YOU BUY. MSG is ADDED to over 30 different substances, thus allowing the food vendor to HIDE the fact that MSG is their product. Food vendors ADD MSG on purpose to make the food more flavorable and to make the food more addictive. However, they HIDE the fact that MSG is in their products because if they admitted it, no one would buy their products.

Here is a PARTIAL list of foods that contain MSG that the food industry does not want you to know about. The list was compiled by Shoshanna Allison, M.T.P.:

Food Additives That ALWAYS Contain MSG

   Monosodium Glutamate [MSG]
   Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein [HVP]
   Hydrolyzed Protein; Hydrolyzed Plant Protein
   Plant Protein Extract

Aspartame, MSG, etc. are unquestionably the main reason there has been an explosion in the number of miscarriages, premature births, and newborn children diagnosed with brain disorders.

Chemicals in Cosmetics and Toiletries

Numerous cosmetics and toiletries, such as perfumes, deoderants, hair spray, hair shampoo, toothpaste, etc. contains chemicals that are dangerous to a fetus and nursing infant.

• "Phthalates are metabolized in humans once ingested or absorbed through the skin. In pregnant women, phthalates pass through the placenta to be absorbed by the fetus. In nursing women, phthalates are found in breast milk, which means infants are ingesting these chemicals as they develop. In male fetuses -- and infants especially -- the phthalates have been shown to cause testicular atrophy and a reduced sperm count, among other serious health problems."
  http://www.healthy-communications.com/6-are_your_beauty_products_killingyou.html

Phthalates are just one of many chemicals found in everyday cosmetics and toiletries that is potentially very harmful to developing fetuses and infants.

Even the chemicals in toothpaste can be dangerous:

• "Dr. Peter Vikesland of Virginia Polytechnic Institute found that the antibacterial chemical triclosan can react with the chlorine in water to produce chloroform gas. Researchers believe that over time, inhaled chloroform can result in depression, liver ailments, and even cancer. Said Dr. Vikesland, "The amount of gas formed is very low but I think the key thing is that we just don't know what the effects are. However, manufacturers do have to list triclosan on their ingredients, so if consumers are worried, the best advice is to avoid such products with the chemical."
  Mark Prigg, Science Correspondent and Rebecca Lawrence, Evening Standard , "Toothpaste cancer alert," This is LONDON, Evening Standard, April 15, 2005.

Rather than try to list all of the known dangerous chemicals in skin products, etc., consider this quote:

• "EVER SINCE 1938, when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted self-regulation to the cosmetic industry, such products can be marketed without government approval of ingredients, regardless of what tests show. Most of the 25,000 chemicals used in our everyday skin products have not been tested for long-term effects. In a typical day, you might be exposed to more than 200 different chemicals-many of which are suspected of causing cancer or disrupting hormones."
  Las Vegas’ Guide to Healthy Living, April 2004

So what can you do? Try to use products that have few, if any, added chemicals. That is difficult to do becuase the chemicals in a product are rarely mentioned. It may require a trip to the health food store, but even there there may be hidden chemicals.

Cough Suppressant Linked to Birth Defects

From the well-known Dr. Mercola website I quote the following:

• "Dextromethorphan, the major ingredient in most OTC cough medicines, has been shown to cause birth defects and fetal death in chicken embryos exposed to concentrations relative to those typically taken by humans. Researchers found that dextromethorphan causes defects so early in the development of the embryo that in many cases the woman wouldn't even know she is pregnant. Reserachers feel that a single dose is capable of causing a birth defect and that, ultimately, it could be the cause for a woman to have a miscarriage.

  Dextromethorphan suppresses cough by acting on receptors in the adult central nervous system. But in embryos, the drug appears to "knock out" the receptors, thus leading to the defects. Further study is needed, but in the meantime, the authors suggests that pregnant women or women attempting to get pregnant, be advised not to use dextromethorphan-containing cough medicine." http://www.mercola.com/1998/archive/cough_suppressants.htm

Mercury

• "A July 2000 report from a National Academy of Sciences study states that 60,000 children are born at risk for adverse neuro-developmental effects each year due to their mothers' exposure to methyl-mercury. A Center for Disease Control and Prevention study in March 2001 (in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) indicates that about 10% of American women of child-bearing age are at risk for having a baby born with neurological problems due to in utero mercury exposure (statistically representing about 375,000 babies/year). The fact that [dental] amalgams [the silver tooth fillings] are most likely the major contributor to the mercury levels in American citizens should be clearly presented to the public. Yet all the American public hears is concerns about mercury in fish."
  Boyd Haley, Ph.D. (Testimony Before the House Government Reform Committee)
  http://www.whale.to/a/toxic_dentistry.html

Incredibly the devastating effects of dental amalgam have been known about for several decades, yet nothing has been done by the American Medical Association, the American Dental Association or any of the government agencies. While dental amalgam is the greatest cause of mercury toxicity, don't forget that fish can also be a significant cause.

If you are pregnant or have recently given birth, do not get a flu shot or any other kind of shot, they are loaded with mercury!!

Fluoride

Fluoride kills brain cells in infants!!

Consider this quote on fluoride and developing fetus brains:

• "An earlier study by Mullenix et al., reported in Nevrotoxicology and Teratology, in 1995, found that animals exposed to fluoride at various stages of gestation suffered either permanent hyperactivity if exposed prenatally, or became "the rat version of couch potato" if exposed after birth, though there was no elaboration of exactly what that is.

  The Natick folks say "there is good evidence that fluoride . . . affects the IQ and behavioral patterns of the developing fetus at doses that are not toxic to the mother."

  The International Society for Fluoride Research has also reported studies implicating fluoride in the rising rates of Down's syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome and sleep disorders."
  http://www.pwgazette.com/fluoride.htm

Dr. Mercola has a video on fluoride and babies:
Dr. Mercola Article and Video on Fluoride

If you walk into a Wal Mart store, and visit the bottled water section, you will likely find water especially for babies. What is special about this water?? THE WATER HAS FLUORIDE IN IT!!!

If you think you can trust the morons in big business, think again. They don't have a clue or concern about their customers, all they care about are profits!!

Aluminum

How about aluminum? While aluminum is technically not a heavy metal, it is so toxic it is frequently listed as a heavy metal. Aluminum is known to pass through the placenta to the fetus. It is also known to be a major cause of Alzheimer's.

• "In animal studies, aluminum blocks the action potential or electrical discharge of nerve cells, reducing nervous system activity. Aluminum also inhibits important enzymes in the brain (Na-K-ATPase and hexokinase). Aluminum may also inhibit uptake of important chemicals by nerve cells (dopamine, norepinephrine, and 5-hydroxytryptamine)."
  http://www.naturallybalancedhealth.com/healthalert.ivnu

While it is true that fluroide and aluminum are independently bad for the brain of a developing fetus, it should also be known that the combination of aluminum and fluoride makes the damage of both items much, much greater!

• "Evidently Alzheimer's Disease came along after people started using aluminum cookware. Isabel Jansen, R.N., wrote of a simple experiment regarding the use of aluminum pots, where it's easily proven that the aluminum and the fluoride content in water, both increase dramatically.

  "In January 1987, experiments performed at the Medical Research Endocrinology Dept., Newcastle upon Tyne, England, and the Physics Dept of the Univ. of Ruhana, Sri Lanka, showed that fluoridated water at 1 ppm, when used in cooking in aluminum cookware, concentrated the aluminum up to 600 ppm, whereas water without fluoride did not. (Science news 131:73)

  They suggested that because of the known fact that aluminum is neuro-toxic and is in abnormally high concentrations in the brain of Alzheimers and other neurological disease victims, including AIDS, that these findings raise questions about adding fluoride to the water supply of communities to reduce tooth decay....

  Because of these findings, a test was made of Antigo, Wisconsin water which has been fluoridated for 33 years. The water was examined by a certified Wisconsin laboratory, and showed that when it was used in cooking in aluminum cookware, it concentrated the aluminum by 833 times and increased the fluoride content by 100%.

  The maximum allowed aluminum content of water is set by the World Health Organization at 200 micrograms per liter. This makes Antigo water, when cooked in aluminum, 75 times over the maximum. No test was made of distilled water, as the Antigo Water Dept. does not dispense distilled water."
  http://www.whale.to/a/alz.html

There are also several other links at the bottom about fluoride and Down Syndrome. Fluoride can be found in many places other than your water.

In short, THROW AWAY all of your aluminum pots and pans, do not drink out of aluminum soda pop cans, etc. etc.
Do NOT cook with aluminum foil.
Do NOT drink tap water or cook with tap water.
Do NOT use distilled water as your main source of water as it leaches potassium and other minerals.

Use natural water, such as spring water, purified water or artesian well water. Just to show you how impossible it is to avoid aluminum, consider:

• "KNOWN SOURCES OF ALUMINUM TOXICITY:
  beverages from aluminum cans (soda pop and beer)
  food cooked in aluminum cookware
  use of aluminum-containing antacids
  use of anti-perspirants (read the label)
  drinking water (aluminum is frequently added to municipal water)
  baking powders
  drying agents in salt and other products
  processed cheese
  bleached flour
  fluoridated water increases leaching of aluminum from aluminum pots and pans.
  Born with elevated aluminum passed from mother to fetus through the placenta."
  http://karan.heskco.com/pages/aluminum.htm

Obviously, if you eat processed foods, you will get plenty of fluroide and aluminum in your diet - far too much. Therefore, you must do everything in your power to remove these things from what you prepare for yourself!

• "According to a report in the Lancet in 1989, many infant formulas contain aluminum. In this report it was revealed that human breast milk contained 5-20 micrograms per liter of aluminum, cow’s milk-based formulas contained 20 times as much aluminum, and soy-based formulas contained 100 times as much. So human breast milk had the lowest concentrations, proving to be the safest."

Vaccinations For Mother or Child

All vaccinations contain either mercury or aluminum. Plus they contain other highly damaging chemicals, as well as live viruses. Note than when you get a "mercury-free vaccination" you are getting aluminum instead, which is just as bad!! But other chemicals in the vaccination are also very dangerous!!

Mercury passes through the placenta, so vaccinating the mother is no different than pumping highly toxic mercury (or aluminum) directly into the brain of the fetus.

Many babies are born with autism. You can rest assured this autism came from the mother's vaccinations or other exposure to mercury.

The best solution is to AVOID all vaccinations and to become familiar with these supplements which can all deal with viral infections. These products can PREVENT the flu or cure the flu if you get it:
1) Miracle Mineral Supplement (28% stabilized oxygen),
2) Vitamin A,
3) Vitamin D, especially Vitamin D3,
4) Vitamin C,
5) The Bob Beck Protocol (electromedicine)

It is beyond the scope of this article to talk much about this subject, but the Mercola website, and many other websites, talk about how mercury causes autism and other brain problems. Also see this article:
