The Vitamin D Newsletter: Another Shattered Family
By Linda on Apr 21, 2010 in Food | comments(0)
People face prison over shaken baby syndrome yet it now appears that many of the cases are Vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy. This is very sad to read and I doubt if many of you are knowledgeable about these facts:
broken bones and bleeding eyes could happen during a vaginal delivery, but what about brain hemorrhage, certainly that is proof of abuse? Well, it has been proof – proof positive of parental child abuse – for decades, sending thousands of parents to prison for “Shaken Baby Syndrome.” Guess what, it turns out that 26% of newborn infants have brain hemorrhages after a normal, natural, vaginal delivery.
This is information that you need to know, as perfectly innocent parents are being punished because no one is measuring Vitamin D levels during pregnancy or putting this together with “temporary brittle bone disease,” not “shaken baby syndrome and no one is diagnosing rickets in newborn children – yet here it is.”

I am writing to you today to see if there is any information or help you can give to me. On October 25th of 2009, I gave birth to our wonderful son & we were overjoyed. Four days later we noticed that our son had a swollen right thigh so we took him back to the hospital & there an x-ray was done & he had a fractured femur!Then on the 2nd of Nov. the hospital carried out further scans & we were told that he had fractures to the fibula, tibia & 3 fractures of the ribs. You can now only imagine the situation we are now in but we remain strong & are fighting this all the way knowing that we have not shaken our baby or abused our son or caused these fractures. It was only after our repeated requests that the hospital carried out blood tests on our son for calcium, Vitamin D etc. this was after him been in the hospital & after we had been accused of Shaken Baby Syndrome.” These tests came back as normal.
