Fantastic conversation with Del Bigtree and Dr Stuart James Fischbein that starts about 22 minutes.

Dr Fischbein discusses economics being a driver behind the rise in caesarean stats. In Canada, our stats are very similar but hospitals (and doctors) don't make money from more surgery.

In fact, my understanding is that hospitals thar go over budget due to higher caesarean rates are at risk because they need the Ministry of Health to approve such overruns.

Basically, the reasons for technological birth are numerous and varied.

If I had to choose one main culprit, it's the core belief that nature (and females) are flawed and need "saving."

Also, if you put surgeons in charge of a natural process, they will 100% find a way to turn it into a surgical process. I'm not saying they do this consciously, but it happens.

The latest episode is # 468. Remove spaces because FB thinks that this website is considered n.e.w.s.

Medicine is a highly hierarchical structure. Family Practice doctors are abused by specialists
Nurses are abused by everyone, including other nurses. Midwives are near the bottom of the system.

The good news is that as a patient/consumer, we have a lot more power than we realize. We can refuse the recommendations provided. We can get second - or third - opinions. We can research the benefits and risks of phamra, surgery, and procedures.

Don't assume your doctor will advocate and inform you. That's your job.

And especially - advocate, research, and protect your loved ones.

Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.

When an intramuscular (IM) injection is not aspirated, there is a significantly higher rate of intravenous (IV) injection which sends the chemicals directly into the bloodstream.

That means that the odds of aluminum crossing the blood-brain barrier is virtually guaranteed.

Vaccines are injected intramuscularly, and the rate at which aluminum from vaccines migrates from human muscle to the bloodstream is not known.

Moreover, studies have shown that aluminum from vaccines is absorbed by immune cells that travel to distant parts of the body, including the brain.

Under the heading of “Isn’t Mother Nature grand?” All over the world, parents speak “baby talk” to their babies. A study explored whether the differences—“raising pitch, exaggerating speech sounds, and shortening utterances”—has a function. Researchers measured brain response to baby talk versus usual speech in four-month-old babies, nine-month-old-babies, and adults. They saw a “change detection” signal in response to changes in vowel sounds in the four-month-old babies hearing baby talk but no response to usual speech, whereas older babies and adults reacted to adult speech. The researchers concluded that baby talk appears to help babies learn to distinguish vowel sounds. ""In other words,” said the study’s lead researcher, “'baby talk' isn't silly at all; it may support early language learning from as young as four months of age.""

In my experience, over 95% of epidurals I have seen in clients were super heavy where the legs couldn't be felt, let alone moved.

That's probably because the anaesthetist assumed the woman wanted all sensation removed.

Your preference as to how strong the epidural is would be an important discussion to have with your partner and birth support in pregnancy.

Even in a light epidural, I've never seen women encouraged by nurses to assume positions that help birth progress. Women are generally left for long stretches to lie on her side. If you want a light epidural so that you have the option of position changes, you need to have excellent birth support typically by hiring a Doula. If you have a Midwife, have a discussion in one of your appointments about what birth support (if any) is provided once the epidural takes effect.

The key reason for a lighter epidural is that the drugs administered are a combination of fentanyl (narcotic) and usually Marcaine (co***ne derivative) that gain access to the baby through the umbilical cord (these drugs are found in the baby's cord blood after birth).

Reducing the amount of drug you receive means your baby receives less and therefore doesn't have the burden on an immature liver with breaking down birth drugs after birth. There are reports of babies still metabolizing birth pharma drugs up to 45 days of age. Epidural use is highly associated with sleepiness (lethargy) in newborns in the first week or two of life which affects breastfeeding success.

Those who have been noted to be high shedders:

* young and healthy people * children (elderly shed the least)
* recently boosted
* those with more vaccines
* specific individuals appear to be super- shedders.

"A 2023 peer-reviewed study found that unvaccinated children who were around COVID-19 vaccinated parents developed an immune response to the spike protein that was not seen in children with unvaccinated parents—which meant something was indeed being shed. Additionally, they were also able to find spike protein antibodies in surgical masks worn by the physicians. This led the authors to hypothesize that antibodies were being directly transferred through the parent’s breath to their children."

And a reminder that the actual trials done before the vaccines were released for mass use specifically stated that they did not claim safety for pregnant women, primarily because the pregnant were excluded. What happened is that they received reports of vaccinated participants finding out they were pregnant after receiving an injection and on these small numbers and zero evidence, Public Health and government declared that not only was vaccination acceptable in pregnancy, it was strongly recommended.

"...Pfizer’s protocol for testing their vaccine:

Prohibited pregnant women or those breast feeding from receiving the vaccine (or future doses if they had already received one).

Stated it needed to be reported if a pregnant women (e.g., a healthcare worker in the trials) was exposed to the intervention by inhalation or skin contact from someone who had been vaccinated.

Stated it needed to be reported if someone in the previous category (not vaccinated but exposed to someone who was) then was in close proximity to their wife and their wife was pregnant."

Numerous data sources have corroborated that the COVID vaccines shed in a consistent and replicable manner

Planning a natural birth and having interventions isn't "failure."

It's entirely possible to have a good birth without planning. It happens.

It's just that planning and preparation is associated with a higher incidence of the birth you wish.

That's because the system is geared to epidural and interventions. When someone puts herself into the hands of the system, there's an excellent chance that the system will do what it does best: a birth with strangers and many interpretations that tells the mother's biology that it's not safe to give birth. This then inevitably leads to interventions because the body in its wisdom shuts the birth down when it receives messages of "not safe."

Set yourself up for success. Hypnosis is an excellent start. Hypnosis within a prenatal series provides information plus practice.

I've been teaching prenatal classes since the mid 1980s so I know a few things. I've been a full-time hypnotist since 1998...a few more things.
