Why do we give birth in hospitals when our ancestors didn’t have to?

My answer to Why do we give birth in hospitals when our ancestors didn't have to?

Answer by Connie b. Dellobuono:

From a woman’s perspective, we give birth to hospitals because after World War II, women are heralded to hospitals to birth their babies to ensure that we can use the newest technology possible when needed but hospital is not for all women (with normal birth, cared for by midwives). During that time, after the doctor touches the dead bodies, they then touch the laboring women without gloves and many died during childbirth.

Currently, complications arise because some women used drugs/OTC meds/alcohol during pregnancy (blue babies) or labor and delivery related complications.

For profit purpose, we have to spend $6000 for C-section in the hospital even when not warranted. Because of our lifestyle of sitting all day and not walking a mile a day (with sugar consumption and other drugs), some of us are at high-risk to birth at home. There are only few nurse midwives (CNM) who can do homebirth because the govt/health insurance companies only allows/pays CNMs and not homebirth midwives.

Answer by Connie b. Dellobuono:

If we assume that all produce came from one source, it is in how you clean (wash them with diluted vinegar) and prepare them (cook them or eat raw) that you can effect good health outcomes. You can have a veggie garden to depend less on grocery store produce. Avoid all canned foods. And ensure to buy organic tomatoes, cherries, strawberries and salad greens as these are the heaviest produce with pesticides. Eat wild fish instead of farmed fish.

When is the best time to resume exercises after giving birth?

My answer to When is the best time to resume exercises after giving birth?

Answer by Connie b. Dellobuono:

In the USA, you are alone after you deliver your baby. In other parts of the world, you are surrounded by women taking turns to cook for you and do many more chores while you recover from your labor. Some women in the USA, have to walk to the store a week after a C-section, abdominal surgery.

We wanted to prevent excessive bleeding, so we encourage women to not lift heavy weights for the first 2 weeks. We can listen to women before us for their experience, wisdom and cultural practices for it will guide us in many ways.

What is the best treatment for of Alzheimer’s disease?

My answer to What is the best treatment for of Alzheimer’s disease?

Answer by Connie b. Dellobuono:

Nurture, whole foods, exercise and less medications are my suggestions for extending the life of someone with Alzheimer’s disease.

Can we prevent these risks?

  1. Your risk for Alzheimer’s goes up as you get older. For most people, it starts going up after age 65.
  2. Women get the disease more often than men.
  3. Family history. People who have a parent or sibling with Alzheimer’s are more likely to get it themselves.
  4. Down syndrome . It’s not clear why, but people with this disorder often get Alzheimer’s disease in their 30s and 40s.
  5. Cleanse your body from parasites. It destroys the liver, blood and brain and over time can cause cancer.
  6. Head injury. Some studies have shown a link between Alzheimer’s disease and a major head injury.
  7. High cholesterol levels
  8. High blood sugar
  9. High blood pressure
  10. Lack of Exercise/Musculoskeletal Disorders (lack of Vitamin D)
  11. Environmental toxins (food,etc)

Answer by Connie b. Dellobuono:

Fasting to clean the blood (and enzyme therapy, lymphatic drainage, strengthening the immune system), detoxing the toxins, clearing up the emotions and balancing the imbalance hormones.

Western medicine will say that there is no cure. So search those people who have cured their cancer. My father died 9m later after he was told to only survive for 3m. He was drinking juices of green papaya and green apple, fasted, prayed, massaged and finally he gave up from the pain.

If I am diagnosed with cancer (hidden in the many glands in my body), I will seek whole foods – green juice therapy, enzyme therapy, light therapy, hydrogen peroxide, fasting, Vit C, silk worm enzymes and many holistic ways. There must be a cure.

What are the best ways to prevent cancer?

My answer to What are the best ways to prevent cancer?

Answer by Connie b. Dellobuono:

  1. Stronger immune system thru whole foods consumption (20% raw), avoidance of sugar and medications.
  2. Kill parasites and do liver-colon-kidney cleanse with whole foods such as garlic, pineapple, ginger, turmeric, other herbs.
    Parasites weaken our immune system and over time, becomes cancer.
    Maintain a good hygiene, wash whole foods with salt/diluted vinegar and do a liver or parasite cleanse with herbs/meds and whole foods of turmeric, ginger, garlic, pineapple and other sulfur rich whole foods. Avoid left over, moldy foods.
  3. Exercise, sufficient sleep, social volunteering functions
  4. Nurture (massage, yoga,nature walks, dancing,playing music)
  5. Genetic editing (CRISPR)
  6. Avoidance of environmental toxins from birth to old age, breastfeeding,homebirth,less use of medications, no smoking, less use of alcohol and maintaining a normal weight, processed foods,avoidance of air pollution
  7. Constant monitoring of body functions (comprehensive blood work,labs) and signs (head ache, pain,chronic cough, skin discoloration) and communicating to doctors about these signs early – not waiting to lead to chronic stage.

Why do people with anemia tend to have Pagophagia?

My answer to Why do people with anemia tend to have Pagophagia?

Answer by Connie b. Dellobuono:

From Wiki:

Folk wisdom (and some early investigators) maintained that pica reflected an appetite to compensate for nutritional deficiencies, such as low iron or zinc. Some forms of pica (as in pregnant women who are iron deficient) can be treated by supplementing the nutrient.

Later research has demonstrated that the substances ingested generally do not provide the mineral or nutrient in which patients are deficient. As the people start eating nonfoods, pica can also cause the nutritional deficiencies with which it is associated.

In one case study, pagophagia was reported to cause iron deficiency anemia. At the same time, however, the researchers suggested that chewing ice may benefit stomatitis and glossitis.

The nutrients obtained from nonfoods such as soil or ice will vary widely depending on geographic location. For example, ice made from hard water will contain more minerals, especially calcium and magnesium, but simply drinking the water will provide the same minerals.

Answer by Tim Romero:

Pakistan.

This may seem surprising at first, but Pakistan is the clear choice for the disgruntled American conservative when you look at it logically.

  • Pakistan has very low taxes. Less than 2% pay any income tax at all.
  • The national government is limited and most of the power rests in the states (provinces) which have a great deal of autonomy
  • Traditional law-and-order justice system. Criminals are not coddled, and they are not set free on technicalities.
  • Society is based on strong, traditional, religious values. There is prayer in schools, and same-sex marriage is illegal. Divorce is rare, and families stay together.
  • Abortion is illegal except to save the life of the mother.
  • Pakistan has a deep respect for the military. Politicians consult with them on any major policy decisions. Hippie-style anti-war advocacy or flag-burning is simply unthinkable.
  • Pakistanis have tremendous pride in the their country. Patriotism is seen as a virtue and admired.
  • There are very few environmental and labor regulations to hold back innovation and small businesses.
  • Strong gun culture. Gun ownership is widespread and an important part of rural life.

Now granted, they will have to convert to Islam to fully enjoy this conservative nation, but if they are willing to renounce their country because their guy didn’t get elected, changing their religion should be a simple matter.

[UPDATE]

Some have interpreted this answer as a joke, but it is not intended in that way. Conservative values are not something unique to America, but are found to differeing degrees in all cultures. I honestly think that as a nation, Pakistan best embodies what American conservatives consider to be traditional conservative values.

It may be amusing to realize that, but it’s not a joke. Devout Muslims value much the same things as devout Christians. The animosity we see is not based on values. It is based on labels.

I stand by this answer. If someone really feels they need to leave the US because it has become too liberal, Pakistan is the ideal destination. I can’t think of a nation that would even be a close second.
