This is a long overdue article pursuant to numerous requests for it to be typed. And because so many people are in limbo on what kind of birth to have, it is desperately needed.
In this country (United States), we've departed from the natural way of childbirth and have done tremendous harm to millions of babies for more than a half-century.
We as a national citizenry but women specifically really need to do an about face and return to the point of departure and go back to having natural births whereby the deliveries are performed by doctors and doctors simply are on standby or in the background of the birth (if in a hospital or birthing center) to assist if necessary. Delivery by midwife is the proven system of childbirth in our world.
In Europe and Japan, midwives attend more than 70% of births, but here in the United States, midwives only attend 8% of the births.
What you have here in the U.S. is a situation whereby American women (regardless of race or creed) are programmed that they are not responsible for their birth process. They are programmed, successfully programmed, that they don't know how to birth.
Home birth with midwife assistance was the standard for childbirth in the United States for much of its history. In 1900, 95% of births in the U.S. took place at home and these births were recorded in the Bible as there were no such things as birth certificates back then. In 1938, half of all births took place at home. However, by 1955, less than 1% of births took place at home and that number shockingly remains today.
Personally, a home birth is the only way to go as far as I'm concerned. Home births give you more power, freedom, and control. You can incorporate personal spiritual beliefs and their practices, like playing beautiful, calm, and serene music, burning essential oils, having the lights turned off and allowing aromatherapy candles to burn; the woman can walk around to ease the pain of contractions (something she can't do in a hospital), and whatever else you deem necessary for your child's birth or emergence.
To me, hospital births are too injurious; too mechanical. First, if you study a hospital-prescribed prenatal plan, the woman will be prescribed harmful pharmaceutical drugs to take for purposes of nutrition which is insane. You don't give a pregnant woman oxide drugs, i.e. prenatal iron pills or tablets to take for nutrition purposes. Her body cannot absorb or assimilate them. True nutrition for human beings is organic and organic nutrition is derived from food in the form of herbs, fruits, vegetables, seeds, and nuts and some grains.
Even the prenatal vitamins and minerals prescribed to most women by hospital physicians are crap and contain oxides that cannot be absorbed and assimilated. It's all junk - TOXINS and POISONS and then we wonder about jaundice and hepatitis being rampant amongst newborns today! These toxic products not only tax the mother's liver but the baby's liver as well. Jaundice and hepatitis are diseases of the liver, the number one filtering organ of toxins and poisons in the body.
Many women due to ignorance are under the assumption that a vegan and raw foods diet cannot and will not provide them with the adequate, sufficient, and required nutrition they need to carry a child and that is absurd.
During a home birth, a man can assist in the process (if it is agreed upon, as some women will not allow any males to be in the room where birth is about to take place). A man can forget about assisting in a childbirth at a hospital. He can watch, but he can't participate (unless you deem watching participating).
Technically, a hospital is place that only sick people visit. It really makes no sense for women to deliver babies at hospitals since pregnancy is not a disease, sickness, injury, or pathology, but a natural biological process.
We must remember that hospitals are businesses. They operate for profit. This means that in most cases medical decisions by doctors or physicians are made for legal and economic reasons and not for the care or wellbeing of the mother and/or child. In too many cases, doctors find pathology where pathology doesn't exist and because they create pathology (out of thin air) they now have something to do. Doctors are creating work for which they can now bill for on the patient's medical invoice. It's all about profits!
Most American women are ignorant about the whole birth process, especially childbirth, and they are also programmed and conditioned to fear the worst even though the facts state that 90% of pregnant women have no complications at all. Most women feel safe by going to the hospital for their delivery by why go to the hospital when there is no complaint? By going to the hospital, they are going to a place where complaints will be created in idiopathic fashion and nature.
idiopathic |ˌidēəˈpaθik|adjective, Medicine - relating to or denoting any disease or condition that arises spontaneously or for which the cause is unknown.
I've been saying for the longest now that a hospital is no place to give life (or birth) and I have my reasons. Did you know that the United States has the 2nd worst newborn death rate in the developed world? The United States rank 2nd in infant mortality rates. Also, consider that the United States has one of the highest maternal mortality rates among all industrialized nations.
Hospitals are also no place for a woman to give birth due to the possibilities of contracting an idiopathic disease. You can actually become more sicker due to visiting the hospital. You may come in with one or two problems but by the time you leave, you could be dealing with five, six, or seven diseases and taking eight, nine, or ten prescription drugs.
And more importantly, let us not forget that most hospitals have morgues on the bottom floor. Souls are always leaving bodies in hospitals due to many people dying while in the hospital.
Also, believe it or not, there are many discarnates (spirits) looking for earthly bodies to reincarnate or re-manifest in. These discarnates can't accept death or being out of the material body and thus no longer on the material Earth plane. Absent a flesh body, most will wander around as lost souls walking around in between worlds. So many of these souls are looking for new host bodies and souls of new life (babies) enter the body (baby's body) after the baby exits the womb. It takes approximately 17 minutes for a soul to be comfortably situated and acclimated into its new body.
Incidentally, it takes approximately 17 minutes for the mother's umbilical cord to stop pulsating. The soul is really not completely inside its new body until the mother's umbilical cord stop pulsating.
You can allow the umbilical cord to stay connected to mother and child for the full 17 minutes in a home birth but forget about this in a hospital birth. Doctors are on a time schedule and do not care about science or Nature. Doctors are not waiting 17 minutes to cut the umbilical cord and you can believe that! This is guaranteed! Doctors are cutting that cord (or may even allow the father to cut the cord) within minutes of delivery or the baby exiting from the womb. This is insalubrious considering it takes the soul 17 minutes to fully acclimate and situate itself inside the new host body.
Cutting the cord prematurely causes grave injuries on so many levels. Most times a soul is not comfortably in its new body when the cord is cut, especially during a hospital birth. While a woman is pregnant, the soul hovers around (above) the mother. It is still there above the mother during the labor. When the baby's head makes its way out of the vagina the soul begins its sojourn of making its way into the body and again, it takes approximately 17 minutes for the acclimation process to unfold.
Doctors have to rush the delivery in a hospital because they have other patients (clients) waiting to deliver babies. This is why doctors induce pregnancies in hospitals. It's not because a woman is in distress or even to help a baby. It is to keep with their schedule, perhaps a schedule consisting of having to deliver 25-35 babies per day. Delivering babies in hospitals is a business. Don't think so? Okay, just go purchase and watch the documentary (DVD) "The Business of Being Born."
Hospitals operate strictly for profit today and they have to because hospitals are businesses, so this understandable. You can't stay in business if you don't make money.
A sure shot way for hospitals to make money is to scare a poor, frightened, and ignorant woman into a Cesarean section (C-section) which is technically a surgical procedure. Anytime doctors have to cut on the body it's a surgery and equates to more money.
And forget about the tremendous pain the woman will be in from her stomach being cut so as to deliver her baby. God gave her a vagina to deliver but man in his enlightened state of darkness (I know, oxymoronic) has chosen to deliver via a new route, a new route that he must make and make via the use of cutting the flesh.
And to add insult to injury pertaining to the C-section surgery, doctors program these victims (participants) of C-section to believe that "Once a C-section always a C-section." This is nonsense! The female body is programmed to give birth. Women (in civilization, especially the U.S.) have so many problems today with the natural act of childbirth because they live so contrary to Higher Law. Their thinking is unhealthy, their diets are unhealthy, their lifestyles are unhealthy, and their emotions are unhealthy. You're going to experience all kinds of problems when you live unnatural, and pregnancy and/or childbirth will not exempt you from the consequences of living such way.
How women have babies in hospitals are also unhealthy. Any conscious and skilled healer knows that a delivering woman should squat to deliver or expel her child - called "vertical birth." When a woman lies on her back the pelvis is smaller and it is more difficult to use her stomach muscles to push (the baby out) making it highly likely that an episiotomy will be performed.
"An episiotomy is a surgical incision through the perineum made to enlarge the vagina and assist childbirth. The incision can be midline or at an angle from the posterior end of the vulva, is performed under local anaesthetic (pudendal anesthesia) and is sutured closed after delivery. It is one of the most common medical procedures performed on women. The primary rationale behind an episiotomy is related to the nature rather than the size of the tear. Many physicians use episiotomies because they believe that it will lessen perineal trauma, minimize postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction by reducing anal sphincter muscle damage, reduce the loss of blood at delivery, and protect against neonatal trauma. In many cases though, episiotomies cause all of these problems. Research has shown that natural tears typically are less severe (although this is perhaps not surprising since epistiotomy is designed for when natural tearing will cause significant risks/trauma)." - Wikipedia
Episiotomy is another form of surgery (almost equivalent to female circumcision) because unnecessary cutting occurs. I'm quite sure some people will argue that cutting is necessary due to the complications some women have in delivering, but the reason I say the process is unnecessary as well as unnatural because I know the female vagina is an expanding orifice and can stretch to accommodate a baby's body and has done so since time immemorial or before a surgical procedure called episiotomy was invented.
"Some midwives compare routine episiotomy to female circumcision. One study found that women who underwent episiotomy reported more painful intercourse and insufficient lubrication 12-18 months after birth, but did not find any problems with orgasm or arousal." - Wikipedia (Episiotomy)
While some women do tear while delivering, however, the pain and damage from natural tearing (of the vagina) cannot compare to the pain and damage of an episiotomy. Not at all! Doctors are like government and government agencies - they'll make things worse than they already are and of course it'll be justified under the pretense of attempting to help or make matters better.
The squatting position facilitates delivery. When a woman is in the vertical birth position (squatting), the baby will just slide down. Ancient women would have a hole dug, place soft fabric in the hole, and squat over the hole to deliver the baby in (vertical birth). Many of these women also gave birth by themselves too (not suggesting it for nowadays, just making a point). Ancient women didn't fear pregnancy like so many women do today. But fear is so heightened when you live so contrary to Nature and one's higher self and existence.
The normal hospital routine for delivering women also sets up the stage for a Cesarean section delivery (surgical delivery) and the culprit is DRUGS! That's right! Drugs! Most women are giving an epidural (painkiller drug). An epidural has a numbing effect. It creates an illusion because you can't get rid of pain as pain always offers you a message. It is your friend. When you numb a person, you are not numbing the pain; you are redirecting a person's attention from the pain, or at least attempting to do so. In effect, you impair their nerves so that they cannot feel the pain. The pain is there and cannot be gotten rid of because it's natural. So the nerves are harmed so as to prevent feeling of the pain and thus more harm is done in the long run because once healthy nerves are now damaged due to drug use in a faulty and illogical attempt to numb pain.
Because these women are not in tune with their pain (due to epidural), they cannot feel their contractions. If pregnant women are not dilating rapidly, these women are given a drug called 'Pitocin.' Pitocin induces contractions. Now remember, a pregnant woman will naturally begin to contract on her own as contractions are a natural part of pregnancy. The uterine is programmed to contract so as to help the baby expel from the womb. You see, Nature (or God) made no mistakes but for some reason the Western medical world doesn't know this and believes to the contrary and causes much harm in the process of attempting to improve upon Nature (or God) and many innocent people get hurt in this process, and even die in this process.
When a woman receives an epidural, she loses a lot of her sensation to feel. She's numbed - DRUGGED!
The pregnant woman doesn't feel the pain of 'Pitocin' due to the epidural, but the poor baby in the womb does. The baby is forced to deal with constant contractions for long periods of time and this is insalubrious because the baby becomes compressed and thus stressed - stressed from the contractions induced by the drug 'Pitocin' necessitated by the epidural and which leads to emergency C-section as the baby's blood and oxygen is compromised from the constant contractions that were induced by man-made drugs.
The drugs pregnant women are given don't just take away or numb the pain, but they also take away the memories of their birthing experience in addition to the woman's self-control, self-awareness, and natural maternal reflexes.
As beautifully and poignantly stated in the DVD "The Business of Being Born", with mammals in general, immediately after birth ... a short period of time which will never happen again and which is critical in mother-baby attachment - in order to give birth, a woman like all mammals is supposed to release a complex cocktail of love hormones as soon as the baby is born. When mother and baby are together both of them are under the effect of a sort of morphine, an opiate - natural morphine endorphins; and we know the properties - they create states of dependency, addiction. When mother and baby are close to each other it is the beginning of an attachment. But today, most women have babies without releasing this flow of hormones.
In general, if you disturb the balance of a female giving birth, it's simple - the mother does not take care of her baby. Here is something you really need to ponder or think over: if monkeys give birth via Cesarean section (performed by man, of course), the mother is not interested in her baby. If most women having babies in the U.S. are not releasing this hormone, can humanity survive without love? This is something we all, females and males alike, need to seriously think about.
The State of New York has one of the highest rates for C-sections, especially elective C-sections (where the women request a C-section).
New York (City) has some of the most superficial women on the planet, perhaps more than in Los Angeles which contains superficial Hollywood.
In New York City, women have what are called "Designer Births." The doctor performs a Cesarean section (surgical birth) and immediately thereafter performs a tummy tuck (another form of surgery). Can you believe this? I mean, to each his own, but my goodness! How far away from Nature, femininity, goddess consciousness, and self-essence can you be? How vain, superficial, and frivolous can you be? Is your illusion that important, more so than a natural human experience?
To choose a designer birth over a humanized birth really makes a big statement.
A lot of celebrities undergo designer births and there's a long list of some well-known or famous actresses.
A lot of modern women, especially here in the U.S., experience all kinds of health problems while pregnant due to their fear of pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood. This is the underlying cause of many if not most problems and complaints during pregnancy and childbirth. Fear is a beast, but like Job the biblical prophet stated: "The thing I feared has come upon me."
Basically, in life, what you fear will appear. Fear creates our nightmares in sleep and in waking life. Consider the following words from an anonymous woman infra:
"Hello. I'm 24-year old female and I'm pregnant almost eight months now. I'm looking forward to this child because for a long time my HYPERLINK "http://www.steadyhealth.com/encyclopedia/Husband"husband and I were trying to make me conceive. But, to be honest with you- I'm a bit scared of this HYPERLINK "http://www.steadyhealth.com/encyclopedia/Labor"labor because of the tremendous pain I'm going to experience."
This particular woman has already endorsed her pain, perhaps a pain that may not have been as enhanced or intense as she thought; but with her own words, she may have increased the intensity of her pain ten-fold. Many women do this, of course, unconsciously.
Despite being pregnant, a lot of women resist pregnancy or being pregnant as well as being a mother and this is what creates various blocks that ultimate manifest as health challenges, i.e. delayed delivery, cord wrapped around the babies neck, breeched deliveries, and even stillbirth. And after the birth, this particular woman who is full of resistance and resentment may have trouble breastfeeding. Her ducts may become clogged or constricted, her nipples may hurt sooner than later or become caked and cracked, and she may start having problems with her hair and teeth (due to lack of nutrients).
Resistance is a major cause of blocks and in many areas, not just pregnancy.
How a woman thinks and feel impacts her whole body, including while pregnant. It also affects the little baby as well. There's an inescapable symbiosis between mother and child that should and must be understood by all women and so when pregnant, a woman is living and making choices that will affect the wellbeing of not just one person (herself), but two persons (herself and her child).
So a pregnant woman's thoughts and feelings affect the baby as well and this is why in addition to healthy diet and prenatal regimen, healthy thoughts and thinking and positive mental attitude is very necessary and important, especially for a smooth, healthy delivery.
Instead of allowing women to squat to deliver their babies, doctors in hospitals have women on their backs (with their feet in stirrups) which is a seriously uncomfortable position for a delivering woman to be in, but of course, women are on their backs for the doctor's convenience; but then again, on her back is a man's favorite position for a woman, whether delivering a baby or not I suppose.
But being practical, ole doc must see what he is doing while delivering and a woman on her back with her legs wide open is the best position for a woman to be in, right? Well, I guess it depends on whom you ask. My goodness, even with childbirth there are sexual overtones.
And I know, you smart Alec women (and feminists too) out there reading this article, that women too are doctors and deliver babies. But I'm not talking about female doctors here. I'm talking about male doctors delivering babies. So don't even go there with me for the sake of being pugnacious with me.
So in a hospital birth you have this poor woman on her back, damn near pushing her bowels out just to give birth to this little baby. Have you ever seen a woman push during delivery? It's no joke! I totally understand why some women tear while giving birth. A woman's whole body goes through some serious changes to bring forth life.
For people who have objections to midwives delivering babies over doctors, Nature supports midwives and so does the English language. My ex-wife's mother was concerned over our decision to use a midwife for prenatal care over that of an OBGYN (obstetrician).
My ex-wife's mother is a true Capricorn. She believes in authority, especially social or governmental authority, very much so. Myself on the other hand, I don't believe in any authority outside of God and myself, so of course this woman and I clashed, albeit in civil fashion.
When she expressed her concern over our use of the midwife over the OBGYN, I explained to her that we were in fact utilizing the services of an OBGYN, and actually, the original and only OBGYN - a midwife!
The original OBGYN is the midwife. The etymological root of the word 'obstetrician' goes back to the word 'obstetrix' from whence we derive the word 'obstetrics.' One who practices and/or specializes in obstetrics is called an obstetrician.
An obstetrician specializes in the field of 'obstetrics', which is defined as: " The branch of medicine that deals with the care of women during and after pregnancy and childbirth."
The word 'obstetrics' derives from the Latin word 'obstetrix', which means: "midwife." American Heritage Dictionary, 4th edition, p. 586
So as you can see or should be able to, the original obstetrician was and is the midwife.
Now let's consider the treatment of women and child in a hospital during childbirth. Consider the torture done to both mother and child. First, you have the mother drugged out of her wits in most cases. It is insane to drug a woman that is about to give birth. A woman's body releases endorphins during the time of childbirth to counteract and neutralize the pain of the delivery. Childbirth is naturally painful for most women, but it shouldn't be as painful to the degree that it is in modern times and a big reason for this intense pain witnessed today is because women, like men, live so contrary to natural law and one example is their consumption of harmful foodstuffs and beverages that block the release of endorphins, so during certain times, i.e. childbirth and menstruation, many women lack the necessary amount of endorphins to lessen their pain.
Consumption of chocolate greatly blocks the release of endorphins and limits their production. This is why so many women have become dependent on chocolate during that time of the month because they are attempting to get foreign sources of endorphins (opiates) to help deal with their pain. This is a shame considering their bodies are equipped to produce all the necessary endorphins a woman needs to handle pain; but if you consume the wrong diet and thus certain body systems (i.e. hormonal or endocrine system) become impaired and thrown out of sync, then the body is not going to function properly and efficiently. It just isn't!
Women naturally produce way more endorphins than men because of what women naturally go through in life, i.e. childbirth, and what women normally go through in life, i.e. menstruation. But poor diet sabotages a woman's endorphin production and release.
And again, what about those insane shots - EPIDURAL shots or injections, that are injected in the spine and that can potentially hit nerves that cause or lead to paralysis?
Pregnant women are given epidural shots for pain. So many women have heard other women talk about their horror stories pertaining to labor and how they asked for an epidural shot, that when they are about to give birth they automatically ask for an epidural shot.
Epidural shots release drugs in the body and being drugged is no way to be during your delivery. A woman should be conscious while delivering so that this way she is feeling the entire experience. Focusing on the pain makes a woman miss the experience in its totality. Being drugged out of one's wits makes a mother not fully aware and present during the delivery. Being drugged also affects the child as well. After all, how can you drug a woman and her child not be affected by the drug(s) and drugging process and effect?
This is why hospital babies are usually born with their eyes closed and dark rings around their eyes. This is a sign that the baby was stressed and most babies born in a hospital (maternity ward) are stressed. They feel, sense, and hear everything that goes on prior to and during birth.
It took me having my first child to realize that it is not natural for babies to born with their eyes closed, dark rings around the eyes, and sleep upon arrival. That's what I thought for 29 years because that's all I knew and witnessed (from pictures). But when my daughter Layla was born, she came out with her eyes fully and wide open. She was very conscious. She was simply looking around at everyone, sensing her environment; placing faces with voices she heard while in the womb. She was strong and energetic. She could turn her neck and even lift her head. This was all mind- blowing and boggling to me.
I witnessed firsthand the astounding effects of the pre-natal regimen I concocted for my first wife, a regimen that I have shared with many women since then that leads to healthy pregnancies and fast, safe, quick labors and deliveries.
The hospital-birthed babies that are born asleep upon arrival are not only stressed, but are drugged. When mother and child are both drugged, there's a serious disruption pertaining to rhythm.
"Moreover, most women who come to the hospital to give birth are soon drugged so that they become a non-person and as such don't participate in the birth of the child. They are brought down to the level of a machine; they can't respond naturally and their natural rhythms are disrupted. Even worse, because of the drugs they are given, they cannot feel their body or their baby's body, and as a result their child is cut off from the energy support of the mother which she would give consciously and unconsciously if she were not drugged. Before the baby is even out of the birth canal, its natural rhythms and its relationship to its mother's energy field and to the Universal energy field has been disrupted. At the moment of birth the child is plucked from the warmth and security of its mother and her energy field and its first experience of the physical world is the pain of separation." - Keith Sherwood
And further,
"Janov tells us the mother's condition during birth (if she is drugged or contracted) ... "is literally adversity for the fetus. Just to come alive he must overcome it. He is in struggle before he breathes his first breath. No matter how many facts are in her head, no matter how well she is trained for childbirth ...if a mother has shut down, and if those repressions are mediated by tense musculature (of which the uterus and vaginal canal are part) will automatically respond by clamping down." Janov calls this syndrome the birth trauma. The birth trauma can be particularly devastating to the child energetically. During delivery, the child is being removed from the physical and energetic embrace of its mother for the first time. Those births in which the child is physically taken away from the mother right after birth are most disruptive, because the child is alone outside the aura of the mother. When removed more than 20 centimeters from the mother, the child is outside the protective umbrella of the mother's etheric aura. When the child is within the mother's etheric aura, there is unconscious rhythmic flow of love and emotional energy from mother to child. If the child is taken outside the mother's etheric aura, it loses contact with the mother emotionally. When the child is removed more than two and a half meters from the mother, the child loses contact on the mental level as well because the child is outside the mother's mental aura or mental field." ibid
And furthermore,
"When outside the emotional mental fields of the mother, it is the mother who must consciously reach out for the child emotionally and mentally in order to keep contact. The child cannot reach out for the mother simply because it has not yet developed the facilities to do so. If the mother is drugged she will be unable to retain contact with her child, and if she is ego-centered or afraid and doesn't consciously reach out for the child after it is taken from her, this will compound the child's first experience of separation, aloneness, and pain, If the pain is too severe, it will overload the child's energy system and the child will not be able to process and release the catastrophic feelings it is experiencing." ibid
You have to understand that the foregoing occurs because of the true nature of hospitals pertaining to childbirth. It is not natural to deliver babies in hospitals but women are doing so today due to ignorance and successful programming (mental indoctrination). Government wants and needs for babies to be born in hospitals for reasons I detail and describe in my article "Birth Certificate" which I feel is a must read for people in general but especially the would-be conscious or aspiring conscious parent(s) in particular.
Babies are born in hospitals for reasons of a very nefarious legal, financial, and political scheme that turns the baby over to the State, making the baby the property of the State just as the mother is already property of the State due to her mother also turning her over to the State upon her birth or arrival. You give up certain rights when you have a baby in a hospital.
When you are imprisoned, you belong to the imprisoner for purposes of imprisonment. Hospitals are also prisons in the sense that you are told what to do and also that there are rules that you must obey or be penalized for. Nowadays, if you don't consent to vaccinate for your child immediately after birth, you are threatened with having the child taken from your guardianship and placed in protective custody under the pretense that you are subjecting the child to harm.
When you enter the hospital and agree to the contract (that you must sign in order to be admitted to the hospital), you admit that you are not of a sane mind (not competent to deliver the baby on your own without medical-government assistance), that you are not mature and in effect, mentally a minor.
These people are known as "wards" i.e. "wards of the court" or "wards of the State."
Women in hospitals for purposes of childbirth are also known as "wards" - "wards of the hospital." Why do you think they place pregnant and soon-to-deliver women in the "maternity ward"? A ward is a part of a prison.
Ward |noun.
1 a separate room in a hospital, typically one allocated to a particular type of patient: a children's ward | [as adj. ] a ward nurse. one of the divisions of a prison.
2 a person, usually a minor, under the care and control of a guardian appointed by their parents or a court. archaic guardianship or the state of being subject to a guardian : the ward and care of the Crown.
A hospital is not an outright prison in the penal sense (of course), but in effect, many parts of it are as well as many of the things that go on inside of them. For one, people get brutalized and tortured in both places.
Again, read the article "Birth certificate."
Lastly, as proof that you lose certain rights when you deliver (a baby) in a hospital, attempt to obtain your baby's placenta and just watch what happens. Your request for 'your' placenta will be denied. It becomes property of the hospital and again, for financial reasons. Hospitals sell placenta to companies that manufacture hair shampoo and conditioner. You'll see on certain brands of shampoo and conditioner the word "placenta" as an ingredient in the product, and usually as a source of protein or nutrition.
Placenta |pləˈsentə| noun ( pl. -tae |-tē|or -tas ) A flattened circular organ in the uterus of pregnant eutherian mammals, nourishing and maintaining the fetus through the umbilical cord. The placenta consists of vascular tissue in which oxygen and nutrients can pass from the mother's blood into that of the fetus, and waste products can pass in the reverse direction. The placenta is expelled from the uterus at the birth of the fetus, when it is often called the afterbirth. Marsupials and monotremes do not develop placentas.
Placenta is loaded with nutrients, especially minerals. This is why some people eat the placenta, making it into a soup. Yes, there are some people who actually eat the placenta.
Personally, I believe in planting the placenta in the ground and then planting seeds over it so a new tree can grow. There are many rituals one can perform with the placenta.
I also suspect hospitals may be doing all kinds of research on various placentas. I just hope these sinister imps are not cloning people. Who wants to meet their clone some 30 or 40 years from now?
Okay, let's get back on track about these maternity wards.
Maternity wards are no place for a soon-to-arrive baby. Babies hear all the drama from the other pregnant women giving birth:
"It hurts! Oh God it hurts!"
"I'm pushing, Goddamn it!"
"Get this thing out of me!"
The screams, moans, cries, wails, etc. all effect unborn babies waiting to be delivered. Sound travels on water (amniotic fluid). Most American babies are born in fear!
Human females give birth in so much agony and pain and the little lower animals of the field - the horse, the cow, the zebra, etc. (vegetarian animals) all give birth standing on all fours, in near absolute silence, and with peace and ease. The little baby horse, calf, or zebra simply falls out of its mother womb. It's really amazing when you compare the birth of human women and animals. You'd think that the higher evolved species (human woman) would outdo the lower evolved animal, but no, it's the other way around.
And yes, diet has a lot to do with this. I have noticed that vegetarian and fruitarian creatures have easier births than carnivores. When cats and dogs give birth, they too like human woman (most of whom are carnivores), wail and moan too. What these creatures have in common with human woman in general is that they are all meat-eaters. Now of course this is not to say that a vegan or raw foods woman is going to automatically deliver a baby without any pain, no hollering, wailing, etc.; but I am saying that the births are more tranquil, stable, easier, and peaceful than women who are unconscious and that consume animal products and junk food. There's a very noticeable difference.
Up until the time I witnessed my ex-wife give birth, I thought 20-40 hours labors were natural. They may be normal, but they certainly aren't natural.
I have witnessed health conscious (and spiritually conscious) females deliver babies usually within 4 hours of labor with a few exceptions.
One of about two exceptions was my ex-wife's best friend at the time, Samirah (La Sharon). Her labor was 8-hours but Samirah was not in a loving relationship, the baby's father was a thug, she had fears surrounding childbirth and being a mother, and a whole lot of other issues and from what I saw and witnessed (as I attended her birth pursuant to her request) these issues manifested in a complicated delivery, well, complicated when compared to these other females of her ilk and wavelength.
Samirah was actually coming in to consciousness but she still was too connected to her family who were seriously unconscious people - Negroes, and the worst kinds of Negroes too! Oh, and she had these Negroes at her birth too which is a serious 'no no' when you understand energy, and I even got some personal experience with this kind of situation with my first wife who allowed her unconscious family members to attend the tail part of her birth.
My ex just couldn't tell her unconscious family members 'no' and thus subjected herself (us) to a bombardment of negative energy especially from her mother who was there and scared shitless at the fact that her daughter wasn't giving birth in a hospital and that the whole natural childbirth and homebirth things was dangerous. This woman stayed in the bathroom the whole time sitting on the closed toilet seat praying to Jesus. I do not miss this woman (ex-wife's mother) in many respects. I really don't. She's a Capricorn too and this sign can be greatly negative and pessimistic, more so than any other sign. However, let me say that she is a good and kind person and a model citizen and of course I wish nothing but the best for her.
But I must express here (since I'm on a roll) that I despise and deplore cowardly, ignorant, weak, and spineless people, especially those who are quick to talk about Jesus or the Lord and then quickly turn around and do things of the World (that contradict Jesus' words and commandments) and take the world as authority rather than God or Nature or common sense as authority. I stay the hell away from these people. They are dangerous to me! Liabilities in the strictest sense!
So when you decide to have a home birth, you may not want to tell everybody and you damn sure don't want to have any dissenters of home birth present at your home birth. Trust me on this! You must be conscious about energy. You only want people who support your decisions and who also believe in the home birth process and who emit positive and loving energy. No exceptions! My good friend Tim Morrow told this me, and my awesome midwife Brenda Capps of Brenda's Birth Services in Bakersfield, California also told me this. And now I'm telling you - the Reader, this!
I said earlier that hospitals brutalize and torture people. They do! Including newborn babies.
Doctors now drop liquid antibiotics into newborn babies' eyes. However, this is a great improvement from the poisonous and toxic silver nitrate (AgNO3) doctors used to drop into baby's eyes.
Silver nitrate. noun. A poisonous colorless crystalline compound, AgNO3, that becomes grayish black when exposed to light in the presence of organic matter and is used in manufacturing photographic film, silvering mirrors, dyeing hair, plating silver, and in medicine as a cautery and antiseptic.
For every baby born prior to the time of use of liquid antibiotics, doctors dropped silver nitrate into the baby's eyes and this was done because to these people (delivering doctors) suspected every woman giving birth was a possible whore or tramp that may have had a sexually transmitted disease but out of embarrassment may have not told the doctor (or hospital staff) and therefore doctors took it upon themselves to protect the baby and thus made a preventative move and dropped silver nitrate into the baby's eyes to protect it from its mother's possible sexual irresponsibility.
"Silver salts have antiseptic properties. Until the development and widespread adoption of antibiotics, dilute solutions of AgNO3 used to be dropped into newborn babies' eyes at birth to prevent contraction of gonorrhea from the mother. Eye infections and blindness of newborns was reduced by this method; incorrect dosage, however, could cause blindness in extreme cases." Wikipedia
Despite silver nitrate being a known poison, it was used on American babies in hospitals under the pretense of protecting the baby from gonorrhea:
"Dilute solutions are effective against gonococcal bacteria and may be applied to newborns' eyes to prevent blindness from gonorrhea. Ingesting silver nitrate causes violent abdominal pain and gastroenteritis." Answers.com
You can understand their logic in using silver nitrate in the exclusive sense that many women didn't know they had a venereal disease infection as venereal disease or STD took longer to manifest (symptom-wise) in females than for males. However, the fact remains the same that silver nitrate was very poisonous and many hospital-born babies received excess amounts of the poison and became blind as a result.
And I can't forget all the horror stories about the injuries caused to little babies due to the use of forceps in the delivery.
Some babies had their little soft skulls crushed or cracked by the use of medical forceps. Pulling on a baby's head while it's still in the womb causes severe damage to the baby's occiput (base of the skull), occipital nerve, and the sacrum (base of the spine). This is why if we were born in the hospital (or our children), we need to frequent a chiropractic to have the harm undone. We need to have our spines adjusted periodically. Chiropractic can work wonders and yes I see a chiropractic (Dr. Patrick Bennett in Studio City, California) for optimal health and well-being purposes.
Now also consider how babies are born into loud, noisy, and lighted atmospheres, especially the lighted atmosphere. Coming out of a dark womb where it was positioned for 9 months into very bright lights has an insalubriously shocking effect on the baby. This is why home births are so much better because of one's control to do what is necessary such as having all the lights dimmed while the baby is coming out of the womb and birth canal. The birthing room should be very dim with just enough light for the midwife to see what she's doing or need to do.
In hospitals, babies are handled like objects, like commodities, like things! But with midwives, babies are handled in a very careful and loving fashion.
