In the US the umbilical cord is commonly clamped before the completion of placental transfusion. This causes hypoxic brain damage, and via lowered ferritin, leaves the infant more susceptible to free radical damage. One of ferritin's major roles is to manage free iron, and thus fenton reaction mediated autoxidation. H2O2 in the presence of free iron can rapidly become hydroxyl radical via this mechanism. Lowered ferritin is no small thing. There are few if any cases where this is NOT contraindicated. In any case where it's "necessary", it was only made such due to some other incorrect action taken during birth. All these problems are chained together.

This cannot continue to be ignored. You can try to say I'm trolling, spamming, or whatever, but all will know what's going on. And this isn't even the full extent of it.

And I want to be clear, I'm not trying to spread despair or hopelessness here. What's done is done, and I'm going to make damn sure everyone knows what this place is and has the means to see through its illusions when the time comes. There are so many stories of parents who went in expecting sanity, and had no idea the brutality of the average "hospital birth". They treat us like an animal on an assembly line. We are not their cattle.

Our belief in them and their lies is our consent.
