Dr. Eisenstein of Elk Grove Village, Illinois believed in home births and did not endorse vaccines. Delivered about 15,000 infants at the mother’s home. Natural birth without interventions was the norm. Was vilified by AAP.

Autism didn’t raise its ugly head.

This is so very alarming. Apparently, from (PREVENTING conception to) conception and throughout life until death, we are dealt an insidious dark hand aimed at intercepting our individual, beneficial, physical, emotional and spiritual evolution. It is no wonder we are nearly unable to remember -- to join in the collective as a cohesive force of nature discovering the divine in ourselves and in one another. Sigh.

Hypochondriacs run the medical system.

They think nature doesn't work without their help.

They also don't understand that they've been played as fools by the medical chemical industrial complex to peddle their wares.

The absolute lack of rational thinking in all these “interventions” is amazing. It’s like a wayback medical machine set to 2025 - and we are reading this stuff and thinking, “No way, they couldn’t have been so stupid.”

These are all simple processes.

Your newborn doesn’t want to sleep? Great, you have an inquisitive and energetically fast recharging child. Why would you destroy these natural processes? Do you destroy your own “adult” energy and spontaneous interest? Do you force yourself to go to bed while your favorite film series is just starting?

What about cooling blankets that are said to prevent brain damage from possible hypoxia during birth?

When I first heard of this, I wondered what the effects might be when this procedure was offered as a "just in case," yet it involves separating mother and baby at a crucial time for bonding.

When I investigated to see if there had been any lawsuits about the unnecessary use of this technique, I only found evidence of lawsuits from people whose babies did NOT receive the treatment and think that it could have prevented their baby's brain damage. I also saw lawyers soliciting such cases.

So it looks like doctors ad hospitals are only afraid of NOT offering this treatment, similar to so many other interventions that people sue over because of not being offered.

What if the hypoxia was caused by other unnecessary interventions? What if the brain damage in neonates not offered this treatment is actually the result of inflammation due to hep b vaccination and not due to the supposed hypoxic event?

The fact that the first search result on this topic comes from a law firm is telling.

And this is exactly why freebirthing is a thing. People are choosing to give birth alone, even if they would prefer to have medical support available, because of the ridiculous violations that occur. And then heaven forbid if something negative should happen during a freebirth! Even your own people who were supposed to be on your side may question it. Talk about being damned if you do and damned if you don’t!

The threat of CPS just so a doctor can get their way is beyond egregious. They violate something that does not belong to them to control or to interfere with.

It is beyond mindblowing that this occurs and explains why there are so many issues in society today— everything has been designed to damage our brains, guts, and ability to connect or relate properly to each other before we’ve even emerged from our mothers. It is demonic.

Edited to add: Forgot to thank you for a great article! Well done.

Thank you so much for these wonderful, empowering articles, they have really opened my eyes. As for this reader's experience, I had my two babies in the UK, which at the time was more open to the natural births that I was aiming for and my midwives were brilliant, they followed my birth plan to the letter. However, it is only after reading these articles that I realise now that certain UNnatural events took place. As a 26 Yr old first time mother I was told my gynaecologist had to give me an internal examination just before my due date. It was incredibly painful and felt like rape, he never even looked at me or spoke to me. My GP swept my membranes, something I had never heard of back then and presumed it was OK cos he said so. During my labour, the crochet hook made an appearance, again this was something I had no knowledge of but it came with the promise that I would be holding my baby in my arms all the sooner. After my natural delivery, (albeit one that inconvenienced one midwife who wanted me on my back), I was given the Pitocin injection because it would eject the placenta quickly to prevent bleeding. Compared to that baby's friend, 30 odd years later, who had the most horrific experience with infection from the sweep, interference during labour with mismanagement of the epidural, which led to a caeserean, which created a fever in my daughter's friend so she had to be put into a cold room and didn't have the chance to bond with her baby, who had been taken to ICU - I got off very lightly. It is encumbent on every reader to share this far and wide, to every female we know. Much appreciated x

Wonderful work here! On the issue of "checking for dilation" I would add:

When they insert objects and fingers into the cervix, they are often ALSO stripping the membranes of the water bag. So this can cause women to have their bag rupture prematurely, which means you'll be rushed to the hospital even though you might not be in real labor, where they'll induce. And if the induction fails to produce a birth pronto, they'll cut your baby out of you.

The IDEAL birth is where the bag pops just as the baby's head is crowning, thereby suddenly flowing the entire baby out easily. This happened with both of my HOMEBIRTHS.

I have experience to share on this topic.

In my second or third minute of life, soon after birth, I was in the baby doctor’s hand in the delivery room. He was examining me, counting my fingers and toes and checking my central nervous system reflexes. He had a flashlight to shine into my left eye provoking my red reflex. Notably, the delivery room was so brightly lit that he couldn’t see my reflex responding. Undaunted, he repeated the test resulting in a strobe like torture fashion. I wanted no part of this and the trauma led to a history of severe eye pathology and retarding my maturity. I did not want any part of this life. It stagnated my development. Talk about a deep early life pattern. Eventually I was put on my mother‘s breast and she was able to help me. I always had a very strong bond with her.

With the help of a highly skilled hypnotherapist using regression therapy I’ve connected to the inadvertent eye torture. My vision has improved slowly ever since.

in the week following the eye torture I was circumcised compounding my early life trauma. I have a vague recollection of struggling with the nurse pinning me down as the doctor shredded the tip of my highly innervated penis.

A couple of weeks ago I had a rare emotional breakdown that connected me to a similar breakdown I had when I was four or five years old. I can clearly remember that experience, but could never explain it. But after prayer and sleeping a couple of nights the whole circumcision drama of having no control and being harmed for no valid reason, followed by emotional breakdowns made sense.

Remarkably, I’ve found a level of clarity I’ve never had. My central nervous system is superior.

The Lord works in mysterious ways.

These vile executioners, under the guise of healthcare, are doing everything they can to mentally and physically harm the mother and baby, all this torture just to make as much money as possible through unnecessary interventions. This is disgusting and depraved.

As an obstetrician , I’m not refuting all your claims and writings . Much is driven by guidelines from the ACOG, quality committees generated by hospitals and insurance companies and attorneys. Patients choose their doctors, midwives and home births…. Choose wisely and do your research. If it’s not your specialty and you’ve never lived our lives, please choose your words wisely.

Is there anything in particular that you read that stood out that you think could be better understood with more awareness?

I forget what it’s called, but read a long piece on here explaining how beneficial the coating is that you’re born with, that should be left on to be absorbed/rubbed into the skin, that of course we promptly wipe off here. Doctors know best! Pretty infuriating
