INFANT Crib death linked to bacteria!
High
levels of ECOLI AND STAPH bacteria could be part of the cause of
cot death, or sudden infant death (SID), (IN USA called CRIB DEATH) UK
researchers have suggested. SID is one of the most common forms of neonatal
death in the UK and there are many theories as to why it occurs. Researchers
at London's Great Ormond Street Hospital argue in the Lancet journal bacteria
could be behind a proportion of unexplained SID and say the mechanism for
his should now be studied. They reviewed autopsies done at the hospital
between 1996 and 2005 of 470 infants (aged seven days to one year) who
died suddenly and unexpectedly. Bacterial samples – cultures - were studied
from each baby.
Significantly more cultures from infants whose deaths were unexplained
contained Staphylococcus aureus bacteria (16 per cent) or E
coli bacteria
( six per cent) than did those from infants whose deaths were of
non-infective cause (S aureus nine per cent; E coli one per cent).
The researchers say these differences suggest that infection with these
bacteria could be associated with unexplained cases of sudden, unexpected
death in infancy (SUDI).
"We found that significantly more organisms that were potentially
pathogenic were isolated from infants whose sudden, unexpected death
could
not be explained than from infants whose death was of non-infective
cause,"
they conclude.
"Although the reasons for this are unclear, our findings suggest that
microbes or microbial products could be related to the pathogenesis
of a
proportion of unexplained SUDI. We must now investigate the
pathophysiological mechanism involved in these cases."
In an accompanying comment, Dr James Morris and Dr Linda Harrison from
the
Royal Infirmary, Lancaster, write: "Recent evidence indicates that
death in
explained SUDI is often rapid, with transition from being well to death
in
less than one hour in many cases. If bacteria have a role, this points
to
direct action of bacterial toxins on cardiorespiratory or neural
control. The new science of proteomics
offers techniques to recognise
bacterial protein products in human body fluids, and this is the
obvious next step in investigating sudden infant death."
Well, I'll be sure to buy a jar of protemis, or at least GOOGLE what it is!
So what have we learned? ECOLI, same bacteria as in undercooked meat
But from where does a baby get e coli bacteria? FAUCET water.
OUR h20 must be tested.
Fecal remains on hands, wash before touching baby! Not you but maybe
relative? Child?
SERVANT?
BUT WAIT, THERE ARE OTHER THEORIES! WIKIPEDIA'S PAGE ON THIS THEME
Then, Holistic, Dr. MERCOLA who says "It's bad air, CRIB MATTRESSES,
VACCINES.
"
Apparently a phosphorous laden mattress somehow has poisons plus
maybe even the aerial remains of this bacteria. Also, CRIB
MATTRESS "offgas" some very toxic fumes Get the COVER MERCOLA
mentions on his page. Get non-allergic mattress, sheeting. Google around
to find what mattress should be made of.
JUICES! Babies might be given apple juice from a JUICER. Avoid unpasteurized
juices unless you have thoroughly purified the fruit first! Epidemics can
start from raw juice sold commercially. Apples that lie on ground before
being juiced. Adults can get same bacteria thru salads picked in open fields
by unclean workers, (so, soak greens in sink w. 1 tsp chlorine) Restaurant
food is often handled by unknown people with unknown sanitation so don't
feed a baby anything from the table.

STAPH BACTERIA is in found in household pets dogs and cats. Wash your hands, don't let pets near the infant or put infant anywhere pet sits! Avoid his blankets going where pets sit.
As there are so many causes of SID, and one or more can occur, one of them lowering immunity or resistance, another just being toxic, seek to eliminate all causes.
