-Caveat Lector- Rising tide of allopathic iatrogenesis- "surgery required" to cure pyloric stenosis CAUSED by giving antibiotic Erythromycin to newborns as whooping cough therapy. Iatrogenesis (doctor &/or pharmaceutical CREATED illness) is now the 4th leading cause of death in the U.S., Canada, & U.K - probably elsewhere in proportion to the dominance of the allopathic cut, burn, & poison (surgery, radiation, anti-biotic & other antipathetic pharmaceuticals) deadly "modern medicine" .. http://www.asheville-computer.com/dave/altmedcon.htm Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com/dave -----Original Message----- From: Alan Phillips <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tuesday, January 04, 2000 10:22 AM December 17, 1999 The New York Times Study Links Antibiotic to a Disorder in Newborns By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA, Dec. 16 -- A common antibiotic used to treat whooping cough in newborns caused a severe stomach disorder in seven babies at a Tennessee hospital, the government said today in a report that stunned pediatricians. Doctors said the report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was the first to strongly link the antibiotic erythromycin to pyloric stenosis, an illness among newborns that blocks digestion and causes projectile vomiting. The illness must be treated with surgery. "Wow!" said Dr. William Kanto, director of the children's hospital at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta. "I think it's going to make everybody pause whenever they decide to give erythromycin to a newborn." The disease control centers said doctors and parents needed to be aware of the potentially serious side effect of the antibiotic. But the agency said it was still recommending erythromycin as the treatment of choice for newborns with whooping cough, which puts most infected babies in the hospital and can be fatal. A 1994-96 study found an average of about 1,900 cases of whooping cough a year among infants in the United States. The centers said a hospital in Knoxville, Tenn., prescribed erythromycin to 200 babies born there in February after they were exposed to whooping cough by a hospital worker. Seven of the newborns became ill with pyloric stenosis, in which a muscle at the bottom of the stomach enlarges, blocking food from passing to the small intestine. All of the babies recovered. It is rare for a large number of infants to be prescribed erythromycin at the same place and time, but that is what enabled the centers to make the connection between the antibiotic and pyloric stenosis. The side effect is too rare for doctors to see the link in isolated cases. -----Original Message----- From: Morgan Family [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2000 4:12 PM To: Alan Phillips Subject: Re: [Fwd: Fw: [Fwd: FYI]] Alan, Check this out,My daughter and son both got whooping cough(without the vaccine's help),and my daughter was treated with Erythromycin antibiotic! My son got whooping cough 3 weeks after my daughter did.She was 2,he was 5. She would vomit,and it would practically shoot accross the room! It was so extensive and nerve-wracking,when the doctors who prescribed it for my daughter found out I had a son who would probably get it,they said I should get me,my husband,and our son on the anti-biotics too,before we get it.They said we should all come in for testing. I told them to stick it in their ear! The Health Dept.called twice to urge us to come in. I said we're dealing with this ourselves! My husband and I never got ill. We never went in. And my son's vomiting was not nearly as bad as my daughter's. I now attribute my daughter's projectile vomiting ,to the antibiotic Erythromycin!
