Dear Mr. Chaterjee,

 

I fully agree with your article because I had suffered from Asthma for 30 long

years but now I am free from it. Allopathy could not help me but nature cure

did.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Happy Dassera to you and to all online

friends.

Thanks for posting your experiences of controlling asthma. While

your post suggests that root cause of asthma is vaccine, author feels that

root is deeper than vaccines. Antibiotics

and vaccines weaken the immature immune system considerably. But

then antibiotics are pumped into mom when there is a surgical birth;

or excess bleedings, wounds, episiotomy has occurred. In many

postings on C-section in list earlier, the effects of intervention

and anesthesia have already been discussed. The situation for

intervention gets precipitated by maternal emotional stress.

 

Modern pregnant women cannot be blissful. All of them have at least

one reason to be worried: " your blood pressure is too high or too

low " , " your weight is increasing too quickly or too slowly " , " you are

anaemic " , " you might hemorrhage because your platelet count is

low " , " you have a gestational diabetes " , " your baby is too small or

too big " , " there is too much liquid around the baby " , " there is a

lack of liquid " , " the placenta is low " , " you are 18 and teen-age

pregnancy is associated with specific risks " , " you are 39 and

pregnancy at an old age is associated with specific risks " , " your

baby has not yet turned head first " , " the baby's back is on the right

side, which makes the birth difficult " , " according to the blood

sample you are at risk of having a Down's syndrome baby " , " you did

not take folic acid at the right time and we must consider the risk

of spina bifida " , " you are not immunised against rubella " , " you are

Rh negative " , " if you have not given birth on day after tomorrow, we

must consider an induction " , etc. Is it still possible to be

a " peaceful and blissful " woman?

 

Add to that the iron, calcium and folic acid tablets which weaken

apana vata, disturb pitta. one should not take iron tablets when

pitta is vitiated. It is vata (all five subdoshas of vata are

involved) which is responsible for all the muscular contractions,

release of hormones and neurochemicals to cause a successful

childbirth.

 

As a result of intervention, the long term consequence has been the

recurrent asthma/allergies attack as some of the research points out.

Author found that nearly 90 moms out of hundred, bringing children

with recurrent colds, coughs, rhinitis, eczema complaints had

delivered the baby by intervention. This kind of sample is

called " run " in statistical theories and getting such a run is not

purley a chance. This led to researching scientific publications, and

the result is being posted here. Since these studies have not been

driven by pharma funds, the reporting is truthful. It is vaidyas duty

to warn the victims of modern trends, so that health of next

generation is better, even if that takes him researching non-ayurveda

literature. Does not ayurveda encompass food, lifestyle, herbs, emotional stress

effect on body-mind?

 

A Finnish study examined the risks of having asthma and allergic

diseases among adults aged 31 (those born in 1966). It appeared that

those born by caesarean (CB) had a risk of having asthma multiplied

by 3.23 compared with those born by the vaginal route(VB).(1) On the

other hand, the risks of having allergic diseases such as hay fever

or eczema, or the risks of having an allergic tendency detected by

skin tests, were not increased. The same team looked at the risks of

having asthma in childhood, at age seven.(2) They found that birth

complications in general, and CB in particular, were risk factors.

Another Finnish study, involving nearly 60,000 children, confirmed

that the risks of having asthma in childhood were increased among CB

(3) A Danish study also found that CB is a risk factor for asthma,

but not for allergic rhinitis,(4) while a British study confirmed

that there are no increased risks for allergies following a CB(5)Such

convergent findings, give the impression of well-documented fact that

respiratory problems of the newborn baby are significantly more

frequent after a scheduled CB than after a VB. Later research points

to the fact that the fetus is supposed to participate in the

initiation of labour. One of the probable ways is by giving a signal,

which is the release in the amniotic fluid of a substance indicating

that its lungs are mature. It appears that hormones released by

mother and baby during the birth process can give a last touch to the

maturation of the lungs.(6) It is therefore easy to anticipate that

babies born by non-labour CB are more at risk of respiratory

difficulties not only immediately after birth, but also later on in

life(7) It is noticeable that a CB appears as a risk factor for

asthma as a respiratory disease, but not as an allergic disease.While

a CB is not a significant risk factor diseases classified

as `atopic', such as hay fever, allergic rhinitis and eczema, it

might increase the risk of food allergy. According to a Norwegian

study, CB children of allergic mothers are at high risk of being

allergic to eggs, fish and nuts.(8)Other health problems of the

children born after intervention (e.g. violent behaviours, autism,

schizophrenia have been linked to birth process by researchers, but

that can await another post. Many damages (for lifetime) are to be accepted in

exchange of more or less painful birth, both by mom and baby.

 

Members should not feel that author of this post has any bias towards

modern practitioners. Look at what their own men what have to say and

report which is available to all in the link at the end of this post:

 

In a report just released yesterday, a former president of the

American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, blames " very

significant external forces " for the overuse of expensive

technologies in maternity care.

 

" I don't like to admit it, but there are economic incentives " for

doctors and hospitals to use the procedures, says Laube, who reviewed

the new report before its release:
