ADD - ADHD: Are You Being Productive or Just Working?

[steffandevin1]

The immediate clamping of the umbilical cord is one birth trauma/injury that has Brain C-13  become common practice and which can be avoided. The immediate clamping of the cord prior to the infant taking its first breath has been shown to result in petechial hemorrhages throughout the brain in higher primates sacrificed at birth-as compared to ones in which the cord was not clamped. After the struggle through the birth canal the infant needs all the oxygen he can get and the pulsating cord is still an important supplier of this oxygen.

Thus it should be left intact until the lungs have been inflated fully and are working properly. Conceivably this anoxia and brain hemorrhage at birth could set the stage for later trauma to be more frightening. Both the birth trauma and the brain anoxia/hemorrhagic trauma are associated with a separation (birth) and this may contribute to setting the stage for later separations being more frightening. Just as childbirth classes and good prenatal care are important for reducing birth trauma prior discussion and planning are important for eliminating this unnecessary cause of traumatic brain hemorrhage.

Another trauma occurring shortly after birth is circumcision. This generally is done without anesthesia-because the baby is thought to be too young and therefore unable to feel anything. More accurately it cannot say or do anything. Undoubtedly it is traumatic and likely it has an effect. If this trauma were to increase the incidence of schizophrenia appreciably then there would be a much higher occurrence of schizophrenia in men than in women-which reportedly there is not. Nonetheless this could be studied by evaluating male schizophrenics vs. super normal males and comparing the number of non-circumcised persons in each group.

Other disorders that are more common in males should be studied for correlation with circumcision. This is particularly true with infantile autism. Currently great emphasis is placed on the neurological findings in autism with the assumption that correlation proves causation. This assumption is false. Some of the neurological change may be the result of the disease process just as it is in schizophrenia.Autism is associated with conditions that have neurological lesions such as congenital rubella phenylketonuria tuberous sclerosis fragile X syndrome and Retts syndrome and it is associated with infant trauma in the first 18 months of life.
