SLEEPING
POSITION, FORMULA FEEDING, ENDOTOXIN AND SIDS Robert C Reisinger (1995)
Sudden
Death Syndrome of Young Mamals; A Unifying Concept ---Robert C. Reisinger
(1992)
"A ‘cold’, a viral infection, or
anything that disturbs immune responses can result in subtle changes in the
gram negative bacterial flora of the the gut, stimulating them to produce
endotoxin. This is absorbed into the blood stream, not adequately detoxified,
and results in inflammatory responses in the mucous membrane linings of the
middle ear............ that endotoxin is the initial cause of the inflammatory
response in acute otitis media............ Dr Robert Reisinger
in America had first alerted me to this group of substances and their
relationship to SIDS......The reason why proper breast-feeding
provides a known and large amount of protection against otitis media becomes
obvious. Breast-feeding tends to prevent the overgrowth of abnormal forms of
intestinal organisms that tend, under certain conditions, to produce
endotoxin........Finally, there are two substances that are known to be
effective as rapid detoxifiers of endotoxin - Vitamin C and erythromycin -they
are both in ‘Archie’s triple injection’. The relationship between SIDS,
sudden unexplained shock, sudden unexplained unconsciousness, and otitis media
is worthy of consideration. If endotoxin is the ‘cause’ of otitis and also the
‘cause’ of SIDS, sudden unexplained unconsciousness and unexplained shock — as
I now know (at least there is a association), then otitis media should be found
in a significant number of SIDS cases. That this is so is clearly demonstrated
in a number of reported studies. "---Dr Kalokerinos MD (p311
Medical Pioneer)
"One bottle of formula is enough to
change a baby’s gut dramatically, and it takes two weeks of breastfeeding to
return the gut back to normal. (Personal communication, Dr Robert Reisinger)
How can this happen? E Coli is the main culprit. This bacteria is a
putrifactive protein loving bacteria. The protein content of human breast milk
is lower than in any other mammal, and the protein content of formula or any
other milk supplement has a direct influence on the numbers of E Coli in the
gut . Not only does the acid gut and very low protein content of breastmilk
provide a more hostile environment for E Coli, but breastmilk also contain neutralising
factors against E Coli.
Several studies have shown
that babies who died of SIDS have a high prevalence of E Coli in the flora of
the gut. Some suggest that the E coli "have acquired a plasmid which
confers toxigenicity" (Med J Aust, 1989, Vol 151, pg 538) But E. Coli is intrinsically
toxic. The outer coating (lipopolysaccharide) is the toxic component, but the
key to the toxicity level is the speed with which it can multiply, given the
right circumstances. These factors include bottle feeding (which results inmore
gram negative bacteria, and a protein and alkaline level favouring E Coli),
stress, overheating, viruses, vitamin deficiencies AND the suppressive actions
of vaccines on the reticuloendothelial system.
In 1974, Dr Robert Reisinger
presented a paper at an International SIDS conference. He quoted many authors
who found SIDS predominantly among bottle-fed babies. Included in the authors
quoted (but not referenced) was Shirley Tonkin from New Zealand:
"Tonkin reported that in her series of
86 SIDS cases, only two were breast-fed. Since twenty-five percent of her
control population were breast fed, she should have had 21 cases of SIDS in
breast-fed infants if the risk were the same in both breast-fed and
bottle-fed."
"Coombs stated that if SIDS were
relatively as common in the breast-fed as in the bottle-fed infant he should
have had 17 breast-fed cases in his series, whereas at that time he had not
one."---Hilary Butler
