Correlation between Induced Births and Autism? -Preservative Cholorbutanol-

[Guest guest]

As a follow up, there have been lawsuits in states like Tenessee (2001) against

the maker of pitocin.

The lawsuit alleges that (Pitocin) it is " dangerously defective " and may be

linked to the deaths of several mothers during childbirth and health problems

with some babies.

The lawsuit alleges that the drug itself isn't causing the problems, rather it

is a preservative in the mixture called chlorobutanol that lawyers are alleging

causes the dangerous side effects.

In addition to possibly causing deaths of mothers during childbirth, some

suggest its use may be linked to autism in some babies and low oxygen levels in

others.

mother we ran across was induced as well.

2 of my 4 with autism were not induced in any way shape or form.

My most severely autistic child came so fast there was not time for

any inducement.

Just for the stats of it.
