Story at-a-glance Multiple doctors have linked the DPT vaccine to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), noting that SIDS peaks coincide with vaccination schedules at 2, 4, and 6 months Since at least 1933, the medical community has known that vaccines cause infant deaths. To conceal this, those deaths were renamed “crib death” and then “Sudden Infant Death Syndrome” (SIDS), eventually being attributed to infants not sleeping on their backs This revisionism is not supported by the existing evidence nor the historical changes in the frequency of SIDS. Most recently, SIDS rates have had an unprecedented decrease in tandem with the COVID-19 lockdowns reducing vaccination rates The vaccine most strongly associated with SIDS, DPT, was protected for decades by the government despite knowing a large body of evidence around the world showed it killed infants — particularly when an inevitable hot lot was released. Eventually, so many injury lawsuits were filed that in 1986, the government had to give blanket immunity to the vaccine manufacturers This article will review the body of evidence showing vaccines cause SIDS and reveal the mechanism modern research has now repeatedly proven causes vaccines to trigger infant death

In Oregon and the rest of the country, Black infants are more likely to be born underweight, and both they and their mothers have a lower chance of surviving that first year of life than white and Hispanic ones. A package of bills in the Oregon legislature seeks to support perinatal health by expanding access to doulas, protecting young families from housing loss and eviction and expanding the Oregon child tax credit, among other things. Kaylee Tornay, investigative reporter with InvestigateWest, recently wrote about Black maternal and infant health and joins us to explain.

Martha Jabour was a young mum when her baby son Michael died suddenly. In the thick of her grief, she worried for the devastated young police officer who had come to her home that day, before he unexpectedly reappeared in her life (CW: this conversation discusses the death of a child).Martha Jabour has lived through the worst possible day for a parent. When she was a young mum, she put her baby Michael to bed one night, and by the morning he had died in his sleep. Michael was just 7 weeks old, and because his was an unexplained death, there were police on her doorstep, and a post-mortem, and an ambulance which took away her baby boy.At the time of Michael's death in the 1980s, not much was known about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).Martha threw herself into support groups, fundraising, and helping to change the story for parents like her, affected by the shocking and unexplained loss of their babies. Within a few years, research discovered more about the causes, and today rates of SIDS have fallen by nearly 90%.Martha trained as a grief and trauma counsellor, and her work with grieving parents saw her tapped on the shoulder to start a Homicide Victims Support Group.It was a job she initially said she'd only do for a year - but it became her life's work.This episode of Conversations explores SIDS, death of a child, grieving, grief, policing, community policing, motherhood, fatherhood, parenting, birth stories, sick children, sudden loss, cot death, trauma, shock, counselling, therapy, support groups, where to find support.Help and support is always available. You can call Lifeline 24 hours a day, 7 days a week  on 13 11 14, or text them 0477 13 11 14.Red Nose also offers counselling services to parents who have lost a child. Their number is 1300 308 307.

Even more than the books on her shelves, Ruth's life has been a high adventure full of danger, tears, heartbreak and love. Help and support is always availableYou can call Lifeline 24 hours a day on 13 11 14.Ruth Shaw runs a collection of three tiny bookstores at the southern tip of New Zealand's South Island.In them, she sells books of adventure, drama, tragedy and romance.But many of these stories pale in comparison to the colourful life Ruth has lived.In the decades before she became a bookseller at the end of the world, Ruth sailed the seas, she was attacked by pirates, she deserted the navy, she played cards to survive, she had her heart broken and had it mended by a special man in gumboots.Content Warning: this episode of Conversation contains discussion of sexual assault, forced adoption and infant death.It also explores military service, the Navy, teen pregnancy, family relationships, fishing, fishing boats, romantic relationships, publishing industry, New Zealand, Tahiti, Papua New Guinea, travelling, ocean travel, pirates, card sharks, card games, gambling, guns, international travel, Catholicism, Catholic Church, Cardinals.  

In this final episode of Season 4, Jacqueline welcomes Casey Hawkins, who bravely shares her personal journey of coping with a rare disease diagnosed during pregnancy, the birth of her rainbow baby, experiencing a second-trimester miscarriage, and the emotional recovery that followed. Casey discusses the challenges of a difficult pregnancy, the subsequent grief from her loss, and the healing power of community support and therapy.

Send us a textA phenomenal conversation with Riya Loveguard (‪@superstarseed‬ on Insta,  www.riyaloveguard.com) a practitioner of starseed understanding, ancestral trauma and an enforcer of humanity's sovereignty and self-empowerment unfolds in this episode of THE SOULFAM PODCAST with Diana and Lexi. Riya, whose starseed origins first began with light language activation, or consciousness technology as Riya calls it -- began when she was 17 years old at a Christian camp in her native Poland. She shares with Diana how her experience came full circle in 2020 when Mother Gaia connected with her at the sacred site of Uluru in Australia. At a similar time, Riya began receiving downloads from the Arcturian Council and her experience with consciousness technology grew. She has since grown in her understanding and use of that technology with multiple starseed groups (ie. Lyra, Andromeda and more) in such a connected way that she is able to help clients understand their own starseed origins and current Earthly experience...that often the two collide in work habits and experiences and relationships. In this highly impactful conversation -- that connects many consciousness dots -- Riya explains to Diana how she came understand on a deep level, how evident ancestral trauma can be in our daily lives, habits and thoughts. She and her mother both considered themselves scatter-brained in a congenial way, and were both diagnosed with ADHD. But as each person began to uncover their ancestral understanding, both mother and daughter began having the same dream about their grandmother who underwent enormous trauma as a midwife and healer in Poland during WWII when she lost a three month old baby of her own. That trauma - never explored or processed by their grandmother -- showed up as ADHD in both mother and daughter. When the trauma of their grandmother was cleared through their collective work, their ADHD disappeared. So many incredible nuggets of wisdom in this interview, Riya has much to share for clients around the world. Soon, in a six-month long group workshop, both Riya and her husband enable a select group of clients to journey through to their starseed origins and their ancestral origins for more clarity, understanding and to stabilize frequency. Riya feels frequency stabilization is absolutely necessary for individuals during these wildly shifting times as we simultaneously ground and reach for higher levels of consciousness and spirituality.

In honor of Baby Loss Awareness Week this year, we revisit Sherokee Ilse's poignant journey. After experiencing the heart-wrenching loss of three babies—through miscarriage, a full-term stillborn son, and an ectopic pregnancy—Sherokee became a mentor for grieving parents, helping them navigate their deep anguish and despair.As a mother of two living sons and a pioneer in perinatal loss and bereavement, Sherokee has authored 18 books and booklets on loss and healing, including her most renowned work, Empty Arms: Coping with Miscarriage, Stillbirth, and Infant Death. With over 30 years of expertise, she has passionately spoken, trained, and consulted worldwide on topics such as miscarriage, stillbirth, NICU losses, sudden infant death, child loss, and general bereavement.A wonderful story I wanted to share about this interview is that it inspired a woman named Julie Reskakis to reach out to her, affirming that this was the work Julie felt called to do. After training with Sherokee for seven months, both online and in person in Pittsburgh, Julie recognized Sherokee's program as the gold standard in the field of perinatal bereavement. Upon becoming certified, she proposed a perinatal bereavement program at Holy Name Medical Center, aimed at supporting families through their loss and helping them create precious memories in the time they have together.Now a member of the staff on the Labor and Delivery unit, Julie feels honored to do this vital work. She emphasizes the profound impact of the podcast and Sherokee's wisdom, which have changed her life and the lives of the families she serves.

Sit with the ladies of MOHA network discussing the exciting progress and accomplishments of the last six months. This heartwarming episode highlights the amazing work of MOHA's volunteers and the beauty that has come from sharing the education of a "standard of care" for families of baby loss. Stay tuned for our next season filled with experts and more conversations from moms of loss.

We are joined today by paramedic and autopsy technician Ephina Disinger and her coworker and friend chief deputy coroner Caroline Hanau. If you had told us 3 years ago that we'd be interviewing experts in infant autopsy after our sons' sudden deaths... well, we wouldn't believe you. But we can't tell you just how HEALING this conversation was, not to mention fascinating. Infants are not supposed to die. In this episode, we talk to Ephina and Caroline about the process of investigating why the death happened, whether there was foul play involved, and what it means for the rest of the family still alive. This interview is not for everyone. We have included an explicit content warning at the beginning of this episode, which we never do, because not everyone wants to hear about the ins and outs of dissecting a dead body. That said, Ephina and Caroline spoke with such reverence and grace for their role as the voice of the voiceless, the dead. They treat the babies who come into their care with dignity, love, and care. Please take good care of yourself and only listen if this interests you (as it does us), and remember that you can stop listening at any time.

Sudden unexpected death in infancy, or SUDI, is the leading category of death after the first month of life, and it usually happens when babies are sleeping. Modification of unsafe sleep environments therefore provides a focus for possible intervention.One such intervention in Australia and New Zealand, the Pēpi-Pod® Program, is literally saving lives. Professor Jeanine Young of the School at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.

Vidcast: https://www.instagram.com/p/CrunDfYPiM2/ Smoking before and during a pregnancy increases by 5 fold the risk that an infant will die suddenly over the months following birth.  Rutgers University's SIDS Center of New Jersey studied over one-half million white mother-child pairs and over 83,000 black mother-child pairs cataloging maternal smoking stats and the incidence of SIDS. The data shows that smoking pre-pregnancy increases the SIDS risk about 2 fold for both groups.  As smoking continued through the trimesters, the risk for white families rapidly escalated to a whopping 7 fold while the risk for black families gradually increased to about half that at 3.6 fold. This is yet another good reason to stop smoking if you expect to become pregnant, and your partner should stop as well.  Certainly both should ditch the habit once you have conceived.  Do it for your baby as well as for yourselves. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41372-022-01516-0 #smoking #pregnancy #SIDS #rutgers #race

Martine & Stuart have their first child, Nathaniel, who was diagnosed with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a rare, painful, and ultimately fatal genetic skin condition. Caring for a child with EB is an immense emotional toll on them due to the constant pain the baby suffers with basic daily tasks like feeding & changing diapers. This episode delves further into the contradictions and complexities of Mormon doctrine around reproduction which made it difficult for Martine and Stuart to come to terms with Nathaniel's condition. They felt guilt and self-blame upon his diagnosis, questioning whether it was punishment for wanting to wait to have children, or due to a "Saturday's Warrior" type pact agreed to in the pre-existence. The doctrine of pre-mortal decisions and the effects on disabilities was also discussed, along with the contradictory messages about disabled or sick children and those who die before accountability. As Nathaniel's condition worsened, the couple sought healing through priesthood blessings, but were met with disappointment when they didn't work. John discusses expectations vs. the reality of priesthood blessings and the theological justifications used when they don't work. The couple eventually came to accept the idea of letting Nathaniel go, and he passed away. Martine & Stuart describe the emotional aftermath of Nathaniel's death, including the funeral and how Mormons deal with death. Despite some trepidation, the couple decides to have another child, which was met with mixed reactions from their community. Martine became pregnant again and gave birth to a healthy son. They later moved to Louisiana, where they became involved in their LDS branch and had a third child, Sarah, who was also born with EB. The episode discusses the routine of care for Sarah and the support they received from their branch. The second death of an infant affected their faith, with Stuart becoming angry at God and turning down a leadership position in the church. Despite this, Martine still wanted more children, and the episode ends with the couple meeting with a General Authority to discuss the deaths of their children and birth control.

SHOW NOTESwww.themorning.com/blog/episode189

Have you ever felt the prickling sense of a pair of eyes gazing at you from a place unseen? Are you able to instantly locate the sound of a cellphone ringing anywhere in your room? Do you sometimes see faces in the patterns of woodgrain or on a popcorn ceiling? And, most importantly, has a pink haired girl every broken your arm or hurled you from a building? If so, you may be entitled to damages.  This month, to close out 2022 and our coverage of Chaos;Head Noah, Sara, Runa, and returning guest Meowgon dig deep to excavate the remainder of the main story, play through the alternate endings, and experience the true horror of the Noah experience: The Girls' routes. After following Taku's growing paranoia and increasing entanglement in the NewGen murder cases and the vast conspiracy surrounding di-swords and their wielders, we arrive with him at the top of a skyscraper overlooking the scramble crossing as he finally lays eyes on his own sword. A mild earthquake has somehow caused a record number of casualties, Nanami has been kidnapped, and Rimi has vanished as Taku stands above a crowd of thousands, looks out across the crossing, and reaches for the outline of a di-sword. Unfortunately for him, it will be almost four more chapters until he claims it. Chaos;Head Noah is a remake and update of the original Chaos;Head, originally released in 2008 and only now available in 2022 with an official English version. In this half of our coverage, we'll cover the last five chapters of the core game of Chaos;Head Noah, the additional Crying Sky ending, all of the Girls' Routes and their associated endings, and then the "Blue Sky" ending added to the Noah version, unlocked once you complete every other available ending in the game. After the earthquake that closed out Chapter 5, reports pour in of massive casualties with over 300 injured and over 100 dead, all from a simple 5.6 earthquake which centralized most of its damage exclusively within Shibuya. Taku, however, has far more dire things to worry about as Shogun has sent him a "present" - Nanami's severed right hand, still clutching her cell phone, and wrapped up carefully in a cardboard box. From there, things only get worse for Taku: A mysterious caller tries to force him to manifest his di-sword, his classmates sneer at him after he's humiliated on a live nationwide broadcast, more NewGen murders occur, Sena tries to kill him for inadvertently creating the formula that allows a mind control device to function, and worst of all he tries to go back home. In the end, no matter what path you take through the story, Shibuya lies in ruins. As a note to listeners who want to read along with us, Chaos;Head Noah is a horror game with a long list of graphic, disturbing, and potentially anxiety-inducing topics. While we mention a few of them in our episode, because of the wide variety of delusions present in the game and the breadth of content included, it's impossible for us to list all of the things that come up in even just these first 5 chapters. We encourage you to seek out a list of content warnings before playing.As always, if you enjoy our episodes, please rate and review us wherever you listen to podcasts!

Online Course Click Here:            Investigating Infant and Child Death  Death Investigator Newsletter:   Click Here for Newsletter Info. When it comes to all death investigations, but especially where an infant or child is involved, you should be led by the thinking that you only get one chance at your first chance. The trouble with infant death, more so than any other type of death, is the body is always moved from the place of discovery, making multiple scenes that need to be secured and looked at. The other issue is the delay in notification. Many times, because of this moving of the body, the infant is often at a hospital, and hours have gone by before law enforcement and coroner/medical examiners are notified. This delay also frustrates the investigation by putting potential evidence at risk of being lost forever by never being found.   There are two areas of the investigation that need to be started as soon as possible; talking with the caregivers and inspecting the place of discovery. Caregivers, and anyone who found the child unresponsive, need to be talked to on the day of the death, not a few days later. Waiting may cause the caregivers to be reluctant to speak with investigators, even if they have done nothing wrong.   The next first thing that needs to be done is an inspection of the place of discovery. Do an initial walk-through looking at the environment as a whole. What are the living conditions like, is the environment safe for a child? Look for fragile evidence such as blood, vomit, mucus, etc. on bedding and crib rails. Locate bottles, diapers, medications, and food containers for later collection. What room does the infant sleep in normally, and where were they upon discovery?   Find out what the HVAC system is in the house and does the room the infant sleeps in have a different source. Be sure to photograph the entire house or environment as you walk through so you get the best representation of the scene before items are moved or destroyed.   Again, remember you only get one chance at your first chance. Every other inspection or evidence collection after that can be tainted or at least claimed to have been by future defense arguments.

This week on the podcast we have part 2 of Addie's story featuring birth after still birth. If you missed last week, she shared all about her pregnancy and emergency C-Section with her first daughter, Sophie, who died shortly after birth due to what can only be described as negligence on the part of her labor and delivery team. If you haven't listened to that episode yet, it is an emotional episode but one that gives context to today's part of the story. Here in part 2, you'll hear Addie share about the birth of her rainbow baby, and then in her words, her pot of gold baby - an empowering VBAC after two previous C-Sections. Like I said last week, Addie is a fabulous storyteller and it was an absolute pleasure to have her on the show.

In Episode 98, we discuss the death of a baby through Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID) or Infant Death where a child dies a few months or years into their life and how their parents and family deal with the unanticipated devastation of their loss. Additional Notes: Please visit my corresponding blog to this episode at www.MaryMac.info to find all related links to help you.

     If  one of your older Bibles has maps in the back, you'll notice that this image doesn't match the Dead Sea in your Bible. That's because the water from the Jordan River is being syphoned off for irrigation before it reaches the Dead Sea. And as a result, Dead Sea is becoming "deader" for lack of water. It's become two separate bodies of water, one of which is disappearing.     In this third shalom-makers interview, you'll meet a longtime friend of Hands of Hur and our family. Matt Letourneau has done more with his life in four decades than some do in a lifetime. He's an artesian well of innovation, vision and a passion for the gospel. Currently he's the CEO of NeverThirst, a ministry committed to bringing Living Water and clean water to the nearly 800 million people who need both. Now that's about as shalomic as it gets.     Come with me on a journey that begins in the American Southeast and extends to Africa and Asia, and has all the evidence of God's anointing and the power of His presence.

Trigger Warning: Today Julie Sullivan, a Children's Minister with Waypoint Church, comes on the podcast and discusses an extremely difficult, but important topic of miscarriage. She starts by sharing her own journey with the loss of two of her own pregnancies and her healing journey, but goes on to discuss the importance of talking what you have experienced with the people that have earned the right to that story.  Held by Hope is a ministry through Waypoint that walks with women who are struggling and provides not only support, but also resources for grieving for you and your spouse. Julie reminds us that shame and guilt are not truth when it comes to the grieving process and we have to combat those lies with the truth of the gospel and  its healing abilities. She talks through what are things that are helpful, but also talks through things that are not helpful to say to friends as they are struggling to understand what has happened. This episode is not only for women who are recovering from a miscarriage, but for everyone to be better equipped to support a loved one who has experienced the devastating loss of a pregnancy. Please take the time to share this with someone who is struggling and needs the extra encouragement is a dark season of life.  Resources Mentioned: Book: A Time For Everything: Mourning and Dancing by She Reads Truth               Grieving the Child I Never Knew By Kathe Wunnenburg               I Will Carry: The Sacred  Dance of Grief and Joy You By Angie Smith               Grace Like Scarlett: Grieving with Hope After Miscarriage and Loss by Adriel Booker              Anchored in the Storm: Pursuing Christ in the Midst of Life's Trials By Adam Holland             Tragedy to Hope: A Guide for Support and Ministry After Miscarriage, Still Birth and                      Infant Death by Don Sides Julie's Bio: Julie Sullivan is a Children's Minister at Waypoint Church where she has served for four years.
