BOSTON — Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS, is the leading cause of death for babies between one month and 12 months old. But why some infants who seem totally healthy suddenly die in their sleep has mystified researchers for years.

Now, a new study out of Children’s Hospital in Boston finds a possible reason.

Dr. Hannah Kinney, a neuropathologist at Children’s Hospital, directed the SIDS research. On Wednesday, she discussed the findings on Morning Edition, saying that her study should relieve some guilt felt by parents who have lost infants to SIDS. Some parents have also relayed that they are encouraged by the research.

“I’ve already talked to a number of parents in the last 24, 48 hours since this story has been evolving,” Dr. Kinney said to WBUR. “I think the major thing that they’ve told me is that it brings them hope; that some day, there will be a way to prevent this on a medical model and that nobody will suffer this like they did.”

Hello, Dr. Kinney,

The children who die of SIDS are likely yet anemic babies who had from 80 cc to 200 ccs of their placenta blood taken for adult stem cell research projects. Yes, the children are taken home, apparently, looking okay, but they will be found anemic, and since birth.

The 1940 article on anemia and its causes was clamping off the infusion of blood by the policies of the doctors. This study was done by Dr. William F. Windle. This is a preventable anemia. He believed the storage of placenta blood at the American Blood Banks could be stopped with the proper ethical, moral and competency of training to the obstetricians who are involved in teaching early umbilical cord clamping. He believed there would be no problem for the doctors, MD, surgeons to wait from 12 to 20 minutes before they clamped the cord. The babies have to be wrapped head to toe to prevent hypothermia from setting in and stopping the inflow of placenta blood into the baby’s expanding lungs. These babies who are early clamped will have weakened lungs, and subtle to serious brain cell impairments. They look normal, only on the outside.

OMFG! – How can people similar to Bernaldo Bicoy – who is a twice convicted child molestor make bail?

This idiot faked himself as a lawyer and business investor consultant to win trust of children. Out of all people, the system lets him home?

Damn streets of Lake Forest are not safe. Who do we petition?
