There
are so many things to worry about as a new parent,
and SIDS is probably at the top of the list for
most new moms and dads. We are led to believe that
there is no way of knowing which babies will die
of this mysterious unknown “syndrome.”
Orthodox medical researchers have failed to determine
if SIDS has a medical cause, environmental cause,
a combination, or some mysterious element that they
haven’t found yet. You have probably not heard
yet that the cause of SIDS (correctly labeled “crib
death”) was discovered by scientists, and
quite by accident. You can read this account in
the book Cot
Death Cover-up? by Dr. TJ Sprott.
More
importantly, you can do something to prevent crib
death in your own home. Crib death is caused by
toxic gases which are emitted from your baby’s
crib mattress. A fungus which grows inside all mattresses
eats away at elements inside the baby’s mattress
and this process creates the toxic nerve gases which
silently kill babies who breathe them in. This explanation
for crib death answers the reason why babies sleeping
on their stomachs are more likely to die of “SIDS.”
Placing a baby on his back reduces the risk of crib
death because he does not breathe in concentrated
amounts of this gas as a face-down baby would.
The
more a mattress is used (such as a hand-me-down
from previous siblings), the more fungus will be
present in the mattress, the more dangerous the
mattress is. This also answers the reason why 2nd,
3rd, and 4th children are increasingly at greater
risk for crib death than the previous baby. The
toxic gas explanation also answers why crib death
has not been around very long. It is a relatively
new phenomenon. This is because the fire retardants
put into mattresses are the elements which, when
consumed by the fungus, are causing the toxic nerve
gases. Fire retardants were not added to mattresses
until the 1950s.
The
best news is that you can protect your baby from
these gases with a BabeSafe
mattress cover. This gas-impermeable cover made
from high-grade polyethylene slips over your current
crib mattress. The success rate of this product
is tremendous. Absolutely NO babies sleeping on
wrapped mattresses have died of crib death out of
about 200,000. During the same period, the number
of babies sleeping on unwrapped mattresses continues
to climb. Of the babies sleeping on wrapped mattresses,
close to 200 babies “should have” died
according to statistics.
Don’t
become a statistic! Cover your baby’s mattress,
and follow the proper bedding protocol:
Do NOT use any of the following as baby bedding:
· Sheepskin or sheepfleece underlay
· Moisture-resistant crib mattress protector
· Any underblanket which is not made of pure
cotton
· Acrylic blanket
· Any blanket which contains polyester
· Sleeping bag
· Duvet
These
commonly used bedding items contain the same elements
found in the fire retardant compounds in the baby’s
mattress. Also, do not allow your baby to sleep
in any adult bed that is not wrapped. Adult beds
are just as dangerous as crib mattresses for babies
up to 12 months.
Information
about the toxic gas theory is making its way throughout
the US. Mattress wrapping has been practiced in
other countries, like New Zealand, for over 10 years
with 100% success. Since there are other SIDS organizations
who don’t accept the toxic gas theory, we
have been led to believe that there is no “cure.”
Australians have recently admitted that, "....the
case for the toxic gas theory for cot death is so
compelling that not responding to it is incomprehensible."
