The medical field has historically exposed mothers to harmful treatments for infants. After efforts to stop routine fetal X-rays, prenatal ultrasound (US) was introduced as a “safe” alternative
While ultrasound is considered safe, a century of forgotten research shows it can harm tissues Evidence shows early fetuses are especially vulnerable to ultrasound, with trials in China that gave ultrasound before abortions revealing clear damage to fetal tissues US harms are dose-dependent. In 1992, despite safety concerns, the FDA raised permissible US levels 8-fold, which may have contributed to the rise of chronic childhood illnesses The benefits of prenatal US are often exaggerated, leading to unnecessary treatments that harm both mothers and infants
Over the past 20+ years in clinical practice, I have noticed a marked increase in the number of Ultra-Sound (US) scans done during pregnancy – especially early pregnancy. This has caused me concern as this is a time when embryonic development involving creation of thousands of new cells is most crucial. Any disturbance can lead to permanent DNA or cell/tissue damage.
It seems that my concerns have not been unfounded. Those harms include:
Genetic damage, significant damage to cellular structures (e.g., mitochondria, microtubules and the nucleus). Initiating programmed cell death. In mice and monkeys, significantly impaired learning, memory, activity, and sociability. Fetal death. Hemorrhages. A wide range of congenital malformations.
The Chinese in turn conducted a series of studies showing the low doses of ultrasound created those injuries in the placenta, pituitary gland, eyes, immune system, kidneys, liver, ovaries, testicles (and sperm), and the brain’s neurons and glial cells.

In my book I explain the timeline of development – that is when organs develop throughout the gestation period with most of the essential organs developing in the first 8 weeks of pregnancy.
I titled my book “How to Have a Healthy Baby” as this is exactly what my goal is for every single parent. The journey begins with preparing your body (both men and women) BEFORE conception so that any health issues may be addressed prior to pregnancy. The book follows the journey throughout pregnancy, birth and the 4th-trimester providing valuable insight and understanding in how everything we are exposed to affects our health, fertility and the health of our future children.
