AUTISM AND CEREBRAL PALSY AND IMMEDIATE CORD CLAMPING

Immediate cord clamping and "delayed" (30 sec) cord clamping rob babies of
blood.

(Up to 50% of blood volume is robbed from some babies!)

Retired obstetrician George Malcolm Morley, MB ChB FACOG thinks immediate
cord clamping may be causing some cases of autism and cerebral palsy...

Tech27,

I appreciate your input and your saying please - very polite. : )

I disagree with your analysis. I sincerely believe that 100% of babies
would want me to continue.

Also, there may be some people who you did not poll.

PS I agree that most pregnant women especially - in a way - do not want to
hear my "bull***" - because no woman wants to have to talk to her
obstetrician about the fact that OBs are closing birth canals up to 30% and
keeping birth canals closed when babies get stuck.

Quite simply, pregnant women shouldn't have to ASK for the "extra" up to
30%. Doing so amounts to telling OBs that they are practicing negligently -
which is why I often make my posts Open Letters to medical doctors and/or
medical doctor trade unions. MDs should be taking care of this problem -
but they aren't. The only alternative is for women to be very specific
about birth position. That way they don't have to directly state that OBs
are closing birth canals the "extra"up to 30%.

BTW, pregnant women should not have to ask obstetricians not to immediately
clamp/temporarily asphyxiate their babies - but that's the way it is - so if
there are any pregnant women reading - please ask - it could mean an "extra"
up to 50% of blood volume for your baby.

According to retired obstetrician George Malcolm Morley, MB ChB, FACOG all
c-section babies are immediately clamped - which means they are temporarily
asphyxiated and denied up to 50% of their blood volume.

As noted above, Dr. Morley thinks immediate cord clamping may be causing
some cases of cerebral palsy and autism, as in,

"ACOG's routine treatment (B138) of these depressed neonates is immediate
cord clamping to obtain cord blood pH studies. The child's only functioning
source of oxygen - the placenta - is amputated together with 30% to 50+% of
its natural blood volume. Total asphyxia is imposed until the lungs
function, and the depressed (asphyxiated, hypovolemic) child starts its
extra-uterine life in hypovolemic shock...

"B138 was first published in 1993. Every cesarean section baby, every
depressed child, every premie, and every child born with a neonatal team in
the delivery room has its cord clamped immediately to facilitate the
panicked rush to the resuscitation table. The current epidemic of immediate
cord clamping coincides with an epidemic of autism.

"For the trial lawyers, it is essential that the 'true genesis' of cerebral
palsy remains unknown, because that 'true genesis' (B.138) is a standard of
medico-legal care..."
