Midwives have existed since the
beginning of humanity. Why, then, is it so difficult to find a midwife in America?
What events occured between the mid 1800's until the present day which nearly made
midwifery extinct in America? And why are more families now looking into homebirth as a
refuge from hospital care?
Home Sweet Homebirth provides
the answers. Interviews with noted doctors, historians and midwives. Very interesting and
informative video.
My Anti-Vaccine Passion
Vaccines are my pet peeve in life. The only "SIDS" case I have had in my
practise (20 yrs, 800 births) was a little boy named Sam. His Mom had him in
hospital with no meds and no intervention. She was someone I judged to be "too
conservative" for me to mention the risks of vaccines.
Her baby had thrush at six weeks, so she took
him to the doctor and he received an antifungal treatment for the thrush, then she drove
to the public health clinic and he was given oral Polio and DPT shot. He never
woke up for his 3:00 am feed . . . . . I'll never forget getting the news he
was dead. I told his Mom about my judgement of her and my cowardice to tell
her about vaccine risks, and she slammed her fist into the kitchen
wall. I promised her I would do everything I could to stop this health
holocaust and to never let another client vaccinate without information about the risks.
This is what drives my passion.
