109. Remember the "Toxic Sludge is good for you" campaign?
For decades the medical community has been telling parents that breastfeeding wasn't

necessary -- they actually interrupted breast feeding by mothers for decades --

How many now living were never breastfed?

We began our history in this country with our government telling native American women

that they shouldn't breastfeed because their milk was "blue."

Mothers here were discouraged from ensuring that their newborns immediately got the

first milk which is COLOSTRUM -- because it was "yellow" and no good!

What about circumcision -- absolutely no medical necessity for it -- yet it goes on and on!

And -- there is no new "evidence" as is made clear in the article --

Also made clear is that 3 of the 4 authors of this report have taken research money from

forumla and baby food companies.

If you live in a conspiracy-free America, I wonder where that might be?

And this isn't only about newborns -- our "slash and burn" medical system is still recommending

medical procedures which have been found to be unnecessary or harmful --

from treatments for angina pain to surgery for prostate cancer.
