"The subsequent release of such feminizing ingredients through the placenta into unborn children increases the prospect that male babies will be feminized, or will develop hormonal imbalances later in their lives. As well, a March 2008 study in the science journal Environmental Health Perspectives presented evidence that mothers with a higher body burden of oxybenzone were more prone to giving birth to underweight baby girls. Low birth rate could make children more susceptible to coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and other maladies once they are adults." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.) "Two years later the Environmental Working Group tested umbilical cord blood from newborns and detected 287 synthetic chemicals, including 180 chemicals that are known to cause cancer in humans or animals, demonstrating that mothers are passing their body burdens of synthetic chemicals directly into their unborn children during gestation, with unpredictable consequences for their children's health later in life. All of this history, taken together, illustrates how and why we in the U.S." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . .

"Pregnant mothers with this toxicity pass it on to their unborn children, with disturbing results. In 2001, the American Academy of Pediatrics reported that the developing fetus and young children are disproportionately affected by mercury exposure. Children whose mothers ate substantial amounts of fish showed deficits in learning, attention, memory, spatial perception, and motor skills by age seven. The children performed as though they were a few months behind for their age." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"This type of testing can give important information on what type of lifestyle, diet, and supplements the pregnant mother and infant should take to optimize their health and avoid the nutritional and toxic disasters that can face unborn children and infants. Let me give you an example. As many as 10 percent of Caucasians produce low levels of a specific enzyme required for proper detoxification in the body. In fact, at least twenty-five commonly used drugs need this enzyme to be present in the body for the detox pathway to work efficiently." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"REACTION A consortium of organizations including Consumers for Dental Choice, the Mercury Policy Project and the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology filed a petition to the FDA to immediately ban mercury fillings for pregnant women so as to protect their unborn children. The FDA has six months to respond to the petition. "We're doing this primarily as a precautionary measure to protect unborn children from unnecessary exposure to mercury," says Michael Bender, director of the Mercury Policy Project, located in Montpelier, Vermont. " - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"One in every six women of childbearing age has enough mercury in her bloodstream to cause neurological damage to her unborn children, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Is it mere coincidence that rates of autism increased when the Center for Disease Control inserted additions to the recommended vaccination program for infants in 1988? In the 1980s, autism rates were estimated at only six in 10,000 children. Today one in 150 children is autistic, though in some areas autism affects closer to one in 50 children. The U.S." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"No one gave the choice to the pregnant woman who wanted to protect her unborn children from the devastating effects of high fluoride concentrations in her baby's body. The choice has been denied to the child whose teeth have been destroyed by dental fluorosis, especially to children of poor families that cannot afford the expensive dental work required to correct this devastating condition. And no one gave the choice to elderly persons who will spend their waning years crippled from skeletal fluorosis or devastated by a neurodegenerative disease. They have all been forgotten." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"D deficient, causing widespread vitamin D deficiencies in their unborn children, which predisposes them to type 1 diabetes, arthritis, multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia later in life. 81 percent of the children born to these mothers were deficient in vitamin D. Up to 80 percent of nursing home patients are vitamin D deficient. Microalgae (spirulina and chlorella) and succulents Spirulina shown to prevent and treat cancers while boosting immune system function Spirulina's blue-green color is more than a pretty facade; it is also the source of much of its cancer-prevention abilities." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"We're doing this primarily as a precautionary measure to protect unborn children from unnecessary exposure to mercury," says Michael Bender, director of the Mercury Policy Project, located in Montpelier, Vermont. "We're very concerned that our government is not doing what it should to protect the unborn. "Why isn't the FDA joining Health Canada and the other countries in banning the placement [of mercury fillings] in expectant mothers?" he asks. "FDA silence over mercury is the same kind of silence our government once had for tobacco." Still, any ban could have consequences." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"It is also a well known fact that too much vitamin A causes deformity in unborn children. For this reason, there is a law preventing the use of this vitamin in food. Yet this law does not apply to animal feeds even though it is well known that vitamin A is accumulating in the liver of farm animals. Pregnant women are warned not to consume liver to avoid damaging their babies. If taking extra vitamin A is considered poisonous for pregnant women or unborn babies, it cannot be considered safe for the rest of the population either." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Wouldn't it make more sense to use natural methods that actually support and enhance the health of unborn children as well as the health of their mothers? In the case of pregnancy, I think women need to be held to a higher standard, and in this country we need a program of education and support to help pregnant women get better nutrition and a better understanding of what is required to raise a healthy child." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"In spite of these precautions, however, their contact with solvents appears to have had effects on the developing brains of their unborn children that were measurable years later. The study indicated that as levels of solvent exposure increased, children scored lower in language and motor ability. "Significandy more exposed children were rated as having mild or severe problem behaviors. The findings suggest that maternal occupational exposure to organic solvents during pregnancy is associated with poorer outcome in selective aspects of cognitive and neuromotor functioning in offspring." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) "The EPA says DuPont further concealed its own 1981 research showing that its pregnant workers were passing the chemical to their unborn children. In addition, the company is alleged to have failed to report evidence that the chemical had contaminated the water supply for twelve thousand people. The EPA says that the chemicals used in Teflon and related products could pose "a potential risk of developmental and other adverse effects" on human health.45 Save the world? My God, I've got to save me first. Relax. Everything is going to be okay. We can get you over this." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"Again Verny writes: "In fact, the great weight of the scientific evidence that has emerged over the last decade demands that we reevaluate the mental and emotional abilities of unborn children. Awake or asleep, the studies show, they [unborn children] are constantly tuned in to their mother's every action, thought and feeling. From the moment of conception, the experience in the womb shapes the brain and lays the groundwork for personality, emotional temperament, and the power of higher thought." - Bruce H. Lipton, The Biology Of Belief: Unleashing The Power Of Consciousness, Matter And Miracles (Get the book.)

"Most drugs are tested only on animals and not on humans for safety during pregnancy, because such testing would subject unborn children to unnecessary risks. It is best to avoid all drugs during pregnancy, but this rating system can help you and your doctor to assess the risk-to-benefit ratio should drug treatment become necessary. You and your doctor should discuss these benefits and risks carefully before any drug treatment is initiated. You should not take any medications (including nonprescription drugs such as laxatives or cold remedies) without your doctor's approval." - H. Winter Griffith, M.D., Complete Guide to Prescription and Nonprescription Drugs 2005 (Get the book.)

"Pregnant women should be tested for HIV as soon as possible, so that they and their unborn children can receive vital treatment. HIV is sometimes contracted by healthcare workers who are stuck with infected needles. Also, be aware that the virus cannot be transmitted through casual contact, such as coughing, sneezing, shaking hands, or dry kissing. Like all viruses, once HIV has entered the body, it seeks to replicate itself." - James F.

"Toxic chemicals might possibly genetically damage unborn children.2'I0' 12 It is known that mothers working in cotton fields exposed to malathion and other pesticides had children with chromosome breaks. This means that there is damage to the gene or cellular structure of exposed children.2 Proven genetic damage to mosquitos has also been reported from malathion.3b There are critical, brief periods of time during pregnancy when unborn infants (and the young of wildlife) are in jeopardy because their mothers breathed pesticide-contaminated air." - Doris J. Rapp, M.D., Our Toxic World: A Wake Up Call (Get the book.) "It is obvious that their contaminated soil, water and food continue to pollute their breast milk and bodies— and harm their unborn children. What has it specifically done to the health of the Vietnamese people and American veterans who were exposed? About 500,000 Vietnamese have already died. Of the 650,000 or more Vietnamese who remain ill but alive, the major complaints include rashes, asthma, cancer, gastrointestinal, muscular, skeletal, neurological, endocrine, reproductive and psychological illnesses. Many Vietnamese families have four or five seriously disabled suffering children." - Doris J. Rapp, M.D., Our Toxic World: A Wake Up Call (Get the book.) "If they use more caution and have more awareness, their unborn children will have a better chance of being normal.86ab Infertility is a major concern at the present time. It rose from 14.4% to 18.5% in 1995.48 As many as 5% of couples cannot conceive unless artificial reproductive techniques are used.48 There are measures that both the males and females can take prior to considering conception that should significantly increase their chances of producing a healthy, normal baby." - Doris J. Rapp, M.D., Our Toxic World: A Wake Up Call (Get the book.)

"The drug thalidomide rewrote the DNA/RNA program in unborn children to such an extent that they were born without limbs and, for the same reason, the radiation scattered across Iraq by American and British weapons containing spent uranium has led to the unspeakable birth defects in children that I highlighted in Tales from the Time Loop. Radiation short-circuits DNA communication. What we call genetic diseases are flaws in the parents' DNA passed to the child when the two 'disks' are downloaded onto one in what we call procreation." - David Icke, Icke David, Infinite Love Is the Only Truth: Everything Else Is Illusion (Get the book.)

"Since unborn children have very little to say about these issues, yet other's decisions will affect them for the rest of their lives, it is the responsibility of parents and health officials to do as good a job as is possible to help our future generations get started on the right foot. 10 New Fat-Burning Discoveries A completely new mechanism of leptin control has now been discov ' ' ered involving leptin regulation of muscle energy production.127 This is different than the primary central control of leptin by the subconscious brain." - Byron J.
