Guest guest Posted March 9, 2002 Report Share Posted March 9, 2002 Reaction to the vaccines given within 24 hours of birth. In both my children's cases, probably because of the Thimerosal. When my daughter got home on day six, she became non-responsive and had to go right back into the hospital to go back under the lights. Two days without Mommy and Mommy's breast, poor kid. I sent in milk, but the whole situation was awful. For a while, I wondered if she had Kernicterus, but now I know she had Mercury poisoning. jaundice What would be the cause of so many children having jaundice at birth?

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2002 Report Share Posted March 10, 2002 Well for my son it was the vitamin K shot! I had choosen not to vaccinate. But knew nothing about the vitamin k shot and thought nothing about the ingredients or how potent it was so DUh I let them. Since then I have grown smarter and would not recommend it. There are lots of alternatives. Oh well it sucked they kept him in the hospital for 3 days. So bummed we should have been at home! Now I am alot more direct with our health care. C........

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 I think a mother not nursing her baby ENOUGH may be the largest contributing factor. I <unfortunately> was induced (via pitocin) with my first, who also received the Vit K shot against my written direction. He was never even a little bit jaundiced. However, I nursed him within the first 5 min after birth, and never let him out of my site after that! He nursed on demand from then until he weaned more than 2 1/2 years later. It's so important that babies nurse...

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 Well, my son was birthed at a midwife's clinic,no shots,nursed, and my dh was sooooo concerned about his color. Never had his bilirubin checked. I wasn't worried as it IS normal for bfing infants. Finally, dh talked to the mw and she told him not too worry. He listened to HER!!! We just sat by the window as much as possible. Kinda miss their " color " whwn it's gone as they then are as pale as ghosts! lol I guess it depends on your stress factor and belief in naturallness. I am sure there are incidences of no shot,nured children who " needed " the lights or something(but I'd prefer a HP's advice). And dif't docs have dif't bilirubin levels as to when they decide a child " needs " the lights. So, maybe it's not as necessary as they say. Another OT? Laurie With , it was definately the Vitamin K. I had a completely natural birth, and nursed for 2 hours solid after he was born. I was heartbroken when I had to put him under the lights.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 If a mother has pitocin in labour (or oxytocin) that drug (and some other drugs too) competes with the sites in the blood that transport the bilirubin. The more drugs you have that use those sites, the less your baby can process the bilirubin, the yellower your baby. Go against the way God designs a baby's metabolism to function, and you just might pay the price....However, there is a natural situation as well - if you allow the baby to have his/her full complement of blood, and cut the cord when it is hard and white, then there is physiological jaundice as part of the laying down of iron from the the excess blood cells which acts as a buffer for the baby for a good part of its first year. I believe the body can cope with that quite okay, but if someone tries to do that as well as have all the drugs that used the trasport sites that bilirubin does, then you are asking a bit much of the poor baby's system. So you might say, then, to not allow the baby the full amount of blood in the placenta. Well, that is the equivalent of subjecting a baby to a substantial haemorrhage. Sure, you might not get jaundice. But the baby then starts life of the back foot, and has no reserve of iron stores to buffer against maternal neglect of her diet, or just plain " hard times " . These might not be considered valid arguments in areas outside of rank malnutrition, but I am not convinced from what I see around me in this country, that too many young mothers have got a good handle of diet, and the many issues that surround having a healthy baby.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 Well, that explains it then as we didn't clamp til it was white and hard! Knew there had to be a logical explanation. Not that I needed one as I trust the Almighty knew what He was doing when He " created " Mother Nature. Thanks! tho as inquiring minds want to know(and I can use it to calm the dh who still has medical brainwashing to contend with). Still, ya know, in a hosp if it all goes naturally, them professionals are gonna want to test for bili if baby starts to look yella. Time then to head for the exit doors!! ....However, there is a natural situation as well - if you allow the baby to have his/her full complement of blood, and cut the cord when it is hard and white, then there is physiological jaundice as part of the laying down of iron from the the excess blood cells which acts as a buffer for the baby for a good part of its first year. I believe the body can cope with that quite okay Unfortunately, I have to agree. I can think of no one I know that has read a single book on their pregnancy. I was an info-seeking hound with even my fifth!!! I just can't feel sorry for those who refuse to be informed. The info is out there...all they have to do is want to find it. Not that I think many books cover the diet adaquately except for Brewer's books and any that suggest his guidelines(like Bradley and some midwives). but I am not convinced from what I see around me in this country, that too many young mothers have got a good handle of diet, and the many issues that surround having a healthy baby.

My son's jaundice didn't require lights or drugs but was dark enough to cause concern about delaying his release. FWIW, I was in 6 days anyway recovering from complications after emergency caesarean.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Could there be a correlation between the Vitamin K shot which all babies get minutes after birth and Jaundice?

Isn't dangerous to do so, and doesn't it increase the risk of building resistance ? Reyataz is well known for causing this side effect, and again, you shouldn't worry to much about it. It takes only a few weeks before it disappears. Plus, it is an excellent regimen that has proven is effectiveness over time. Hope this will help.Best to all the Poz readers.t from Paris, France." R.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Hello, Do you take any other drugs containing cortisone ? Cushing's Syndrome is an intoxication due to an overdose of cortisone. Norvir boost the level of cortisone in blood. So, if you take any drugs containing cortisone AND Norvir, you should very carefully dose cortisone' level in blood, every month. Anyway, it is safer not to associate Norvir with cortisone. For example : There have been serious Cushing's Syndromes due to an interaction between Norvir and a drug against asthma called Seretide, containing cortisone. Seretide (fluticasone) is to be inhale. It should stay on the lung, and not go in the blood (GSK says). In fact, it does go a little into blood, and can induce a Cushing syndrome (my friend had one). A poster has been published about it, two years ago. I couldn't find the data itself on internet : _Syndrome de cushing iatrogène lié à l'interaction entre le ritonavir et la fluticasone chez des patients infectés par le VIH traités par corticoïdes inhalés : description de 4 cas. N. Valin, V. Garrait, N. De Castro, J.-M. Molina._ Cushing's syndrome can lower DHEA level in the blood. This hormone is important for bones preservation. Maybe you should dose DHEA in your blood, and, if too low, take a supplementation of it. I hope all goes well for you.

The main cause is the " nutritional status " and toxicity (good or bad) of both you and their father at the time of conception, whether either or both of you had candida or not. Candida is caused by a depressed immune system, but many people with candida are not jaundiced. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
