Apart from the trauma
inflicted on a newborn of getting the shot, the amount of Vitamin K injected
into newborns is 20,000 times the needed dose. The injection also contains a
preservative, Benzyl alcohol, that can be especially toxic on your baby’s
delicate, young immune system.
A parent has to keep asking themselves, ‘Is this procedure really
necessary?’ The answer is typically no. Natural health awareness requires a
paradigm shift away from the limits of western medicine, a re-education toward
self sufficiency. Trusting in nature’s storehouse of resources, understanding
the proportional requirements which best serve the body; the learning curve
toward such know-how takes a lot more convincing, especially given mainstream
Industry propaganda.
‘Babies who have been
identified as being at risk for vitamin K deficiency include those born to
mothers who took drugs or antibiotics during pregnancy, premature babies and
babies who are born cesarean. Mothers who had maternity diets low in high
vitamin K foods or had diets that were low in fat have also been identified as
being more likely to bear vitamin K deficient babies.’

I’ve encountered parents
who claim their children are vaccine-free but for the Vitamin K shot. Such is
another clear misconception parents have to begin addressing. Your baby will
normally acquire sufficient levels of Vitamin K via the placenta &
colostrum. In the rare instance a mother is a carrier of the ‘hemophiliac
gene’; where-in she possesses a damaged X chromosome which can be passed on to
the child, her baby theoretically becomes vulnerable to Vitamin K deficiency,
and in extreme cases, the potential for hemorrhaging. The female body, however,
is designed to counter this very problem. The point is the risk is routinely
exaggerated without just cause, alternatives discouraged.
‘Every DNA molecules is
composed of two strands. When a cell detects a DNA duplex with a difference
between its two DNA strands, that duplex is “repaired” by the rather Draconian
expedient of chopping out the entire region, on both strands of the DNA
molecule. No effort is made by the cell to determine which strand is correct —
both are discarded. The gap that this creates is filled by copying off the
sequence present at that region on the other chromosome. All this editing
happens when the two versions of the chromosome are paired closely together in
the early stages of gamete (egg and sperm) formation, the process we biologists
call meiosis.
All females have two copies
of the “so-called” X chromosome. The X chromosome is about the same size as
other 22 human chromosomes, which also occur in pairs, and like them is packed
with some 1000 genes. The reason there are two copies of the X and other
chromosome is to allow for the repair of the inevitable damage that occurs over
time to individual genes because of wear-and-tear, chemical damage, and mistakes
in copying. Because this sort of damage is passed on to offspring, it tends to
accumulate over time. For this reason, genes must be edited every so often to
repair the accumulated mutations (biologists call damage to genes mutation).

Doctors stubbornly adhere
to this invasive procedure without any consideration of its traumatic nature on
a newborn; typically lacking an overall holistic understanding of natural
immunity. The Vitamin K shot, like that of Hepatitis B administered at 12 hours
old, has its own inherent risks which place it in a similar tier & category
to all other early shots given to babies. Just say, “No thank you!”
Try to always find the
optimal organic source which contains the given Vitamin in it’s natural form,
and ensure that it is pure, without derivatives or chemical and/or synthetic
additives. As an example Kale contains the optimal balance of Vitamins A, C, E
& K – a powerhouse of antioxidants. In the case of your baby you can puree
the vegetable enough to ensure it is palatable. If you have no alternative then
choose a supplement that is proven to be 100% natural & organic; but again
natural is superior.
Additionally the mother’s
placenta & breast milk (Colostrum) are inextricably linked, providing a
baby’s primary initial source of nourishment through the long journey of
formation in utero; while supplying the basic building blocks of life necessary
to guarantee a safe transition into early childhood development. Mothers to be
are advised to store up on phytonutrients while your baby is in utero. Continue
nourishing the immune system especially during the 1st year after your child is
born. Remember mothers, you share the same immunity with your baby during the
in utero phase!
Phytonutrients work as
antioxidants to disarm free radicals before they can damage DNA and cell
membranes. Recent research indicates that the phytonutrients in vegetables like
kale work at a much deeper level, signaling our genes to increase production of
enzymes involved in detoxification, the cleansing process by which the body
eliminates harmful compounds.
Kale is a rich source of organosulfur
compounds, which have been shown to reduce the risk of many cancers,
especially one of the most deadly forms, colon cancer; due to their unique role
in blocking the growth of cancer cells and inducing cancer cell death (apoptosis).
Organosulfur compounds known as glucosinolates are present in the cruciferous
vegetables of the Brassica genus. These compounds are broken down into potent
anticancer compounds called isothiocyanates in the body, which are powerful
inducers of cancer-destroying enzymes & inhibitors of carcinogenesis.
‘The body does not readily
utilise synthetic vitamins and minerals. The vitamin K administered by
hospitals to newborns is the synthetic phytonadione. The natural forms of
vitamin K that are found in many foods, particularly in vegetables such as
collard greens, spinach, broccoli, asparagus, brussels sprouts and salad
greens, are a different form – they are called phylloquinone or menaquinone.
Certain bacteria in the intestinal tract also produce menaquinones.
Apart from its synthetic
nature, it is based on plant Vitamin K and injected. The body utilises vitamins
and minerals that are found in plants and creates the human form it needs, but
this is after they go through the digestion process, which obviously does not
occur with injections.’

“The Vitamin K shot has
been linked to leukaemia, including acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, which is
characterized by an increased number of white corpuscles in the blood, and
accounts for about 85 percent of childhood leukaemia. Research carried out by
Dr. Louise Parker, of the Sir James Spence Institute of Child Health in
Newcastle upon Tyne, produced the most startling results. Dr. Louise Parker was
quoted in the British Medical Journal in 1998 as stating, “It is not possible,
on the basis of currently published evidence, to refute the suggestion that
neonatal IM vitamin K administration increases the risk of early childhood
leukemia.”

AquaMEPHYTON injection is a
yellow, sterile, aqueous colloidal solution of vitamin K1, with a pH of 5.0 to
7.0, available for injection by the intravenous, intramuscular, and
subcutaneous routes. Each milliliter contains:
Phytonadione: 2 mg or 10 mg
Inactive ingredients:
Polyoxyethylated fatty acid derivative : 70 mg
Dextrose: 37.5 mg
Water for Injection, q.s: 1 mL
Added as preservative: Benzyl alcohol: 0.9%
‘Benzyl alcohol is used as
a preservative. The problem with this compound is that young children cannot
metabolise benzyl alcohol into hippuric acid using benzoic acid, which can
result in an accumulation of chiefly benzoic acid. The side effects that have
been described as a result of this substance accumulating in the central
nervous system include metabolic acidosis, vasodilation, paralysis, epileptic
seizures, respiratory depression and death.’

Exposure to more than 90
mg/kg/day:
“Must not be given to premature babies or neonates. due to the risk of fatal
toxic reactions arising from exposure to benzyl alcohol in excess of 90
mg/kg/day, this product should not be used in infants and children up to 3
years old.”
