"A selenium deficiency has been associated with anemia, age spots, liver spots, fatigue, muscle weakness, cystic fibrosis, irregular heartbeat, Parkinson's, high infant mortality, and sids (sudden infant death syndrome). The biggest problem we face with getting enough selenium is that there is very little selenium in North American soils; therefore, we need to supplement with angstrom-size selenium." - Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Spiritual Nutrition: Six Foundations for Spiritual Life and the Awakening of Kundalini (Get the book.)

"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. There is also some, though not conclusive, evidence that behavior and intellectual development may also be affected by prenatal exposure to cigarette smoke." - Arthur C. Upton, M.D., Staying Healthy in a Risky Environment: The New York University Medical Center Family Guide (Get the book.)

"One bit of speculation was given concerning possible connection of sids (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) in serotonin-reduced infants. Researchers commented that serotonin levels are reduced in the hypothalamus (the brain organ that controls the onset, maintenance, and timing of sleep) in sids infants, as well as other changes in the availability of serotonin and other neurotransmitters.30 The absence of these critically important fats and the imbalance of amino acids and minerals have lifelong effects on bottle-fed babies." - Carol Simontacchi, The Crazy Makers: How the Food Industry Is Destroying Our Brains and Harming Our Children (Get the book.)

"Amazingly, a high school classmate, friend, and near neighbor of mine in Walla Walla, Washington, whose first child died suddenly and inexplicably, played a major role in bringing this problem to light. sids is classified as a sleep disorder because death always occurs during sleep. Seemingly healthy and happy babies are put down for sleep and later found dead in their cribs. Every year more than 7,000 American babies, about 1 baby out of 500, die of sids, which is far too high a number." - William C. Dement, Christopher Vaughan, The Promise of Sleep: A Pioneer in Sleep Medicine Explores the Vital Connection Between Health, Happiness, and a Good Night's Sleep (Get the book.)

"The sids parents said that when they reported their premonition of their babies' impending death to a medical professional, spouse, or friend, they were rarely taken seriously. Despite their requests to their physicians for additional medical evaluation and intervention, nothing beyond routine measures was advised for any of the sids infants. When asked to take special precautions for the apparently healthy child, the physicians' responses ranged from "outrage" to "placating denial."1 This is a sad example of how the failure to trust nonlocal mind can lead to disaster." - Larry Dossey, Reinventing Medicine: Beyond Mind-Body to a New Era of Healing (Get the book.)

"It has been suspected that immune dysfunction plays a significant role in sids or, at the very least, that sids is a disease that involves an unusual immunologic reaction.56 Vaccinations may contribute to the development of other disease One of the most extensively documented reports on the unheathful effects of vaccines can be found in the book The Hazards of Immunization, by Sir Graham Wilson, formerly of the Public Health Laboratory Service of England and Wales.57 In reviewing epidemics of the past, Dr." - Joseph Nd Pizzorno, Total Wellness: Improve Your Health by Understanding and Cooperating with Your Body's Natural Healing Systems (Get the book.)

"Maternal smoking may double the risk of sids. (Swedish study) Magnesium deficiency in the pregnant mother is another factor, causing histamine shock leading to sids. It is now known that such children also have low levels of an essential fatty acid DGLA in the liver. This substance is necessary for production of [-prostaglandins that are biologically important. Baby foods are low in essential fatty acids and breast feeding offers a natural alternative. Fifty per cent of infants show symptoms before death." - Thomas Bartram, Bartram's Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine: The Definitive Guide (Get the book.)

"Unaware of the medication she'd been given, the coroner listed Sarah's cause of death as sids, or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Like Beau and Katie, many people at first believed their infants' deaths were a result of sids because Propulsid deaths mimicked the well-known killer of infants. This is what makes discovering adverse drug reactions so difficult—they may resemble similar common diseases or problems. Beau and Katie's grief seemed unbearable. Once a room filled with hope and new life, the nursery now cradled only emptiness and grief. Days blurred together, and weeks passed." - Ray Strand, M.D., Death By Prescription: The Shocking Truth Behind an Overmedicated Nation (Get the book.)

"A recent German study found that mercury in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) babies brains was directly proportional to the number of fillings in the mother's mouth, providing further compelling evidence that mercury travels to the developing fetus and may be a factor in sids.^ effects on children Many studies on animals and the effects of prenatal exposure to low-level mercury vapor have been done which show adverse effects on brain function." - Robert C. Atkins MD, Whole-Body Dentistry: Discover The Missing Piece To Better Health (Get the book.)
