The Importance of Vitamin D During Pregnancy

We have become so concerned about getting exposure to the Sun that we attempt to eliminate all unprotected exposure to the Sun’s rays. – hand me the sunscreen! We may have gone too far.

Some of the research has been showing that when a pregnant woman is Vitamin D deficient that it has a negative and lifelong impact on her newborn baby. The child can experience allergies and more frequent colds and flu. The child may also be at greater risk of developing diabetes, cardiovascular disease and even schizophrenia.

When a mom was Vitamin D deficient, this deficiency was passed onto the child so that they had a 44% increased risk of developing schizophrenia as an adult. Separately, this deficiency has also been linked to an increase in autism in 6-year-old children.

Taking the benefits even further, research by http://GrassrootsHealth.net found that 40 to 60% of preterm births could be prevented by raising the woman’s Vitamin D level to just 40 ng/ml.

While it would be great to get 20 minutes of a noon time level of exposure to the Sun without sun screen on to stimulate your body to manufacture Vitamin D, you may not be able to get outside on a regular basis, or you’re too far north, or you still have a fear of sun exposure without a sun screen. In that case, I’d recommend that the mother take a Vitamin D3 supplements so that her blood level of D is between 60 to 80 ng/ml. This is a level that is giving you the optimum benefit of Vitamin D.

Make sure the mother takes Vitamin D3 as it is better absorbed by the body. Also, add Vitamin K2 as it helps the D to be absorbed and used correctly by the body.

I'm Doing My Switched-On Selling Seminar Live In Utah

I’ve decided to conduct my research validated, one-day Switched-On Selling (SOS) Seminar in Sandy, Utah on September 28, 2019 from 9 am to 5 pm. If you’re involved with selling, this seminar will totally transform your selling abilities and I’ve done the research studies (over 50!) validating the impact of the seminar. To learn more about SOS and to register, you can go to http://SwitchedOnSeminars.com.

If you know someone in sales, please pass this onto that person. They will thank you forever because of the impact it has on their bottom-line!

Electromagnetic Fields Can Affect Pregnant Women’s Babies

A study published in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine strapped monitors to pregnant women to measure their exposure to low-frequency electromagnetic fields. These are fields generated by everything from power lines, microwave ovens, hair dryers and vacuum cleaners.

The researchers followed the children over their first 13 years and found that those born to mothers with the highest levels of exposure were three times as likely to have asthma as kids whose moms had the lowest exposure. 

Getting Iron Into A Woman’s Diet Reduces Birth Problems–IRON FISH?

Cambodia's women have a major problem with anemia, which has resulted in premature labor, hemorrhaging during birth, and poor brain development among their babies.

Chris Charles, a graduate student from the University of Guelph in Canada, figured out a brilliant way to work with the locals to increase the amount of iron in their diet without changing their eating habits.

Iron pots are expensive, so getting new cookware wasn't an option. Neither was asking them to buy iron-boosting pills. So Charles came up with an idea. He shaped iron blocks like a fish which are 3 to 4 inches long. The locals consider a fish to be lucky.

The person leaves the iron fish in a pot while water boils. This provides the villagers with 75 percent of their daily iron requirement.

Better still, the fishes are only $1.50 each and can last for up to three years. Since the fish was introduced, anemia levels have drastically declined and villagers have started feeling much healthier as a result.

Iron deficiency affects 3.5 billion people around the globe, proving that Charles's idea has world-changing potential.

Triggering The Birth Process

Triggering The Birth Process

I recently attended a seminar on Brain Gym^® where the instructor Renate Wennekes shared some fascinating information of how the birth process kicks in. As it turns out, it’s the baby that starts the contraction process.

First, the mother’s hormones send a signal to the placenta telling it to stop delivering nutrients to the baby. This lack of nutrients forces the baby’s body to secrete hormones that start the birth process.

In effect, the mother’s body is saying to the baby, “if you’re hungry, you’d better get out of here.” It then takes three days of the baby pushing against the mother’s womb for it to open and the baby to be born. This lack of food also primes the baby to want to breast feed as soon as it’s out of the womb.

All I can say is pretty fancy process to get us born!

Genetically Engineered Cows Milk Leads To Twins

A study recently published in the Journal of Reproductive Medicine found that a group of women who consumed milk products from cows given genetically engineered hormones had a five times greater chance of giving birth to fraternal twins than a group of vegans who didn’t consume any milk products.

The study found that the growth hormone used in cows increased ovulations in the women and that the hormone persisted in the women’s bodies after it was consumed. Since the FDA does not require that food manufacturers label genetically engineered foods, the only way to avoid the bovine growth hormone is to buy organic milk.

And once again, if you’d like to make your opinion count about the foods you and your loved ones eat, pop an email to you-know-who…
