"Mg deficiency or various forms of Mg depletion. sids may be caused by the fetal consequences of maternal Mg deficiency through an impaired control of Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) thermoregulation, mechanisms leading to a modified temperature set point. sids may result from dysthermias: hypo- or hyperthermic forms. A possible prevention could rest on simple maternal nutritional Mg supplementation. sids might be linked to an impaired maturation of both the photoneuroendocrine system and BAT." - Mark Sircus, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (Get the book.) "Published findings in mothers of victims of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and in the sids victims are compared with characteristics of magnesium deficiency in humans and animals. Observations concerning the level of magnesium in traditional diets of selected ethnic groups with the highest or lowest rates of sids appear to confirm the importance of magnesium in protecting the offspring from sudden death." - Mark Sircus, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (Get the book.)

"The Italian research shows that the tested mice suffered drops in heart rate and other symptoms of sids, and many of the animals died at an early age. Low levels of serotonin in the animals' brainstems, which control heartbeat and breathing, may have caused sudden death, researchers said in the July 4, 2008 issue of Science. Since serotonin in humans controls about the same functions as in mice, researchers believe that the same phenomenon occurs in human infants. The implications of all the existing research conducted on serotonin are wide-reaching." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"The DTaP may stimulate or precipitate inevitable symptoms of underlying CNS disorder, such as seizures, infantile spasms, epilepsy or sids. By chance alone, some of these cases will seem to be temporally related to DTaP. I have to admit, the first time I read that, I cried. Instead of blaming the vaccine for causing the problem, we blame the children for somehow being defective and the "defect" shows up after we inject them. Another example of not blaming the vaccine for a reaction comes directly from the National Vaccine Injury compensation table." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"For example, a 1990 Swedish study found that moderate smokers (defined as those who consumed between one and nine cigarettes a day) doubled the risk of sids, whereas women who smoked more than ten cigarettes a day tripled the risk. Another estimate attributes one-quarter of all sids cases to cigarette smoke exposure in the womb. However, sids research is greatly confounded by numerous social and economic factors, any one of which may ultimately turn out to outweigh the contribution by smoking itself to the higher rates of sids." - Arthur C. Upton, M.D., Staying Healthy in a Risky Environment: The New York University Medical Center Family Guide (Get the book.)

"Persinger then discovered a relationship between sudden death—from epilepsy or sids death—and high levels of geomagnetic activity.23 Sudden, seemingly inexplicable deaths might have a rational explanation after all: people with weaker constitutions are at the mercy of the sun's restless activity. Strong geomagnetic fields also appear to affect learning profoundly?often for the better. Increased geomagnetic activity enhances memory: rats exposed to geomagnetic fields learn mazes more quickly." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Volume 18, Number 3, 187-92, September 2005 10 Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is defined as the sudden death of an infant or young child, which is unexpected by history, and in which a thorough postmortem fails to demonstrate an adequate cause for death. sids accounts for 35% of post-natal deaths." - Mark Sircus, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (Get the book.) "A possible prevention could rest on simple maternal nutritional Mg supplementation. sids might be linked to an impaired maturation of both the photoneuroendocrine system and BAT. A preventive treatment of this form of sids should associate atoxic nutritional Mg therapy for pregnant women with total light deprivation at night for the infant. New data on the importance of gestational Mg deficiency. Durlach; Magnes Res 2004 Jun; 17(2): 116-25 EntrezPubMed." - Mark Sircus, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (Get the book.)

"In a study of 103 children who died of sids (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or crib death), conducted by Dr. William Torch of the University of Nevada School of Medicine, it was found that 70% had received the dpt (combined diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus) vaccine within three weeks of their deaths. Scientific evidence links vaccinations to chronic fatigue, autoimmune disorders, aids, learning disabilities, and other health problems. Viera Scheibner notes that the annual death rate in Europe prior to 1940 from diphtheria was "negligible (less than 300 deaths per million)." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"In 1993, researchers at the Southwest sids Research Institute in Lake Jackson, Texas, performed a survey of parents who had experienced the death of a baby from sids. The survey also involved parents of normal infants. Both sets of parents were asked if they had ever "sensed" that something was going to happen to their baby. Twenty-one percent of the sids parents and only 2.1 percent of the control parents reported that they'd indeed had a premonition that something was going to happen to their infant." - Larry Dossey, Reinventing Medicine: Beyond Mind-Body to a New Era of Healing (Get the book.)

"Second-hand smoke has been shown ro increase the risk of sids (sudden infant death syndrome)74, 75, 76, 77, 78 and colic (page 121) in newborns.79 Initiating the breast-feeding relationship There are many reasons why women decide not to breast-feed or discontinue breast-feeding earlier than the recommended six months. These include a lack of family, societal, or medical support;80 misinformation or lack of education about bteast-feeding;81 marketing of commercial formulas to new mothers;82 and the difficulties often encountered in returning to work or school." - Alan R.

"Although she doesn't know why pacifier use might protect against sids, Hauck says there are several theories. One is that sucking on a pacifier brings the tongue forward, forcing the airway to open more. Another theory is that when babies suck on a pacifier, they may be more easily aroused from sleep. Dr." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.) "Other key recommendations for preventing sids include... •Place infants to sleep on their backs every time they go to sleep. •Only use firm sleep surfaces and keep soft objects, such as pillows and heavy blankets, out of the baby's crib. • Give the baby a smoke-free environment both before and after pregnancy. •Don't share your bed with your baby, but if possible, keep the baby in a crib in your bedroom. •Avoid overheating your baby. Babies shouldn't feel hot to the touch. Keep the room warm enough so a lightly clothed adult would be comfortable." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.) "The AAP committee also recommends that parents not use commercial products that are marketed as reducing the risk of sids. There is no evidence that such products actually provide any benefit. Also, the committee recommends that babies be given plenty of tummy time when they are awake to avoid the development of a flat spot on the back of the head from always sleeping in the same position. "Parents need to make sure that everyone caring for the baby is aware of the guidelines. The babysitter, the grandparents—everybody needs to know," says Moon." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.) "IMPLICATIONS "These findings should be of concern for clinicians and policy makers who are observing the rapid growth in the number of primary Caesar-eans to mothers without a medical indication," says lead researcher Marian MacDorman, a CDC statistician and senior social scientist, and co-chair of the sids and Infant Mortality Committee for the American Public Health Association." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"Another estimate attributes one-quarter of all sids cases to cigarette smoke exposure in the womb. However, sids research is greatly confounded by numerous social and economic factors, any one of which may ultimately turn out to outweigh the contribution by smoking itself to the higher rates of sids. Perhaps because babies born to mothers who smoked throughout pregnancy have smaller, less developed lungs, they tend to be vulnerable both to serious respiratory illnesses, such as bronchitis and pneumonia, and delayed growth." - Arthur C.

"DPT may cause Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) - 85% in 1 -6 months, same as the 2-4-6-month DPT vaccinations risk; the death rate increases eighttimes within 3 daysof injection; in one study 70% of sids deaths occurred within 3 weeks of DPT vaccinations (give 1 gram Vitamin C to counter); causes reported adverse reactions in 100 per 1000 vacc inations (10%).

"Every year more than 7,000 American babies, about 1 baby out of 500, die of sids, which is far too high a number. Starting in 1973, there were a few reports of sleep apnea in siblings of sids cases, and occasionally an infant was found in time to be resuscitated. In the intervening years, enough studies have accumulated to rule out obstructive sleep apnea as the major cause of sids." - William C.

"In 1979, in Tennessee, four infants died of sids within 24 hours, apparently from the administration of one batch of DPT (diphtheria-pertus- 32 With a time-released vaccine there could be no provable link between vaccine and adverse reaction, a definite step forward for the vaccine companies. 33 A global movement engineered by the pharmaceutical companies is behind this plan. It has been pushed by various organisations at various international meetings." - Martin J.

"Parents of 145 sids victims who died in Los Angeles County between January 1, 1979 and August 23, 1980, were contacted and interviewed regarding their child's recent immunization history. Fifty-three had received DPT immunization. Of these 53, 27 had received a DPT immunization within 28 days of death. Six sids deaths occurred within 24 hours and 17 occurred within one week of immunization. It was concluded this rate of sids deaths "was significantly more than expected." - Joseph Nd Pizzorno, Total Wellness: Improve Your Health by Understanding and Cooperating with Your Body's Natural Healing Systems (Get the book.) "In order to clarify this issue, the Department of Pediatrics at the UCLA School of Medicine conducted a study of sids in Los Angeles County.55 Parents of 145 sids victims who died in Los Angeles County between January 1, 1979 and August 23, 1980, were contacted and interviewed regarding their child's recent immunization history.

"Starting in 1973, there were a few reports of sleep apnea in siblings of sids cases, and occasionally an infant was found in time to be resuscitated. In the intervening years, enough studies have accumulated to rule out obstructive sleep apnea as the major cause of sids. In the United States and several other countries, the number of deaths due to sids has been reduced significantly by the recent "back-to-sleep" campaign, which persuades parents to always place their infants on their back, never on their stomach, when they are being put to sleep." - William C.

"Other factors that are associated with an increased incidence of sids include exposure to secondhand smoke, overwrapping clothing or blankets, and the use of soft bedding. The exact cause of sids is still under study. Most researchers believe it stems from multiple sources. A common belief is that the babies rebreathe the same air over and over when they are on their stomachs, causing carbon dioxide to build up in the blood." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Dietary Wellness: Using Foods to Heal (Get the book.) "According to this analysis, babies placed on their backs to sleep are less likely to succumb to sids because they breathe air from above the zone where the toxic gas is. In support of this theory, Richardson notes that poorer families who use the same mattresses for multiple children over a period of years—mattresses that therefore are more likely to be affected by mildew—have a higher rate of sids than families who use new mattresses." - Phyllis A.
