287 Chemicals Found in Umbilical Cords

There has been a huge increase in miscarriages in the United States, the latest figures report some 6.2 million pregnancies for 2010. Of this number, 4 million had a live birth outcome.

Fertility rates have plummeted among men & women.

Why is this happening?

1. Lack of proper nutrition, sleep and health optimization prior to conceiving.

2. EMF radiation has a significant impact on fertility. Sperm count among men has dropped MORE than 50%!! EMF exposure to a growing fetus can cause behavioral problems in children since they are more vulnerable to radiation. In a study, the use of cellphones during pregnancy showed it can contribute to spontaneous abortions. A cell phone is also classified as carcinogenic by the WHO making it very dangerous for you & baby.

3. Not detoxing prior to conceiving. Our world is more toxic than ever & we accumulate these in our fat tissues as a protective mechanism. When a women experiences her first pregnancy her body releases many stored toxins including BPA, heavy metals like lead & mercury & many more.

The study by the EPA found over 280 chemicals in umbilical cord blood & the researchers stated they would have found more expect this was all their budget allowed for. Performing a test like this is extremely expensive. Of the 287 chemicals detected, it is known that 180 cause cancer in humans, 217 are toxic to the brain and nervous system, and 208 cause birth defects.

So what needs to be done?

Ideally mom's are who planning on becoming pregnant need to do a thorough detox for 6 months to a year depending on exposure. Because these toxins are stored in our fat they take longer to remove & need to be done in the proper order to preventing overwhelming the body.

Men should detox for 3-6 months as well, their health as a huge impact on the baby although this is typically not emphasized.

Is this something you've considered or thought was important? Would you be willing to do this to better your health & the health of your baby?
