SUMMARY
OF FORESIGHT RESEARCH AND NUTRITIONAL INFLUENCES ON PREGNANCY The latest count-up of 3 years of Foresight results covered 1,067 couples who entered the programme and achieved 779 live births, and 67 ongoing pregnancies. The majority of these couples came to Foresight with fertility problems or problems of recurring miscarriage. It was necessary for a minority to also go for a “high-tech” approach. From a total of 877 pregnancies there were 3 stillbirths (0.34%) and 28 miscarriages (3.19%). The average weight was 7lb11oz for a single birth, and 5lb12oz for a multiple birth. Only 16 babies weighed under 5lb8oz, (the official cut-off point of “low birth weight”). Ten of these were from multiple pregnancies. The success rate for IVF babies was 47.1%. The main areas of concern with Foresight are: As well as the nutritional approach, we can seek help from the NHS Genito-Urinary Medicine Clinics, and the specialists in Geopathic Stress. Reflexology and/or acupuncture can be used to stimulate sluggish ovulation or testicular function and to break addictions. Homeopathy can be used to eliminate miasms and to combat addictive behaviour patterns. Homeopaths who give nosodes can also treat gut parasites, genitor urinary infections and bad reactions to vaccines. We look at some of the reasons for trace mineral deficiencies including environmental reasons, the over consumption of sugar, the paucity in non-organic foodstuffs generally and in refined carbohydrates in particular. People come to Foresight with a great many basic health problems. Some of these are gynaecological, such as vaginal thrush (41%), cystitis (30%), water retention (22%), and vaginal discharge (22%). Regarding the general health, the most common complaints are: Mouth ulcers (22%), irritable bowel syndrome (21%), migraine (19%), haemorrhoids (18%), eczema (17%), ear infections (14%), and asthma (12%). (Mouth ulcers respond to abandoning fluoride toothpaste!) A series of human and animal studies demonstrate the link between a shortage of vitamins and physical deformity (Jennings 1972), and shortages of essential minerals and both physical deformity and mental retardation. Work drawn from Roger Williams, Carl Pfeiffer and Oberleas and Caldwell is presented as an overall picture demonstrating the link between maternal deprivation and the effect on fetal development. Some of the most telling work is that of Dr Weston Price in the 1940s, showing the link between poor nutrient status in the womb and facial malformation/orthodontic problems as are seen in most children today. The palate is cramped and raised, and the front teeth are pushed forward, the lower jaw is narrowed. There is also tooth decay. The middle brain development is compromised by the skull and palate restrictions. This work was confirmed by a small study of palate height and academic achievement by Dr June Sharpe of Godalming in the 1980s. Other studies, and extracts from books, further demonstrate how deprivation can increase the chances of miscarriage, spina bifida, brain damage, general malformations and lack of appropriate maternal responses to the baby. Further work will go into how we combat toxic mineral deficiencies
prior to conception to ensure a “level playing-field” for
the future baby.
