The U.S. Ranks 56th In Birth Outcomes. Here's Why Hospitals WANT It That Way

The United States ranks 56th in the world regarding outcomes for mother and baby. So what that means is mortality and morbidity. So mortality is death. Did they die? And then morbidity is was there a long-term injury sustained, something permanent. So mortality and morbidity. And when I give you these numbers, we're looking at the first year. If you've taken a CPR class before, you've probably noticed that they say something kind of silly and they go, blank amount of people get saved when you use CPR. But then there's the fine print underneath that and it goes only 33% left the hospital. So we need to understand, when we're looking at statistics, we need to understand what statistic are they giving us. And so when I'm giving you these numbers, what I'm telling you is they survived the first year. So we rank 56, the United States, which means there are 55 other countries that have better outcomes than we do here in the United States. And I mean, outcomes in the first year postpartum. So that's pretty shocking. Then most of those countries that are on that list, right? Because there's only 100 and something countries in the world. And so when we look at those numbers, that means that a lot of those countries are going to be what the World Health Organization, Amnesty International, et cetera, those alphabet soup agencies would be considered as third world countries. So that means that it's safer to have babies in what we would consider third world countries. That's crazy. So that America, even that right there alone, that actually America ranks behind a lot of third world countries in terms of the health of baby and Right. And if anyone is, is, is savvy on statistics that is listening to this, you should also know that we're not, we're not just looking at population because that's not a proper statistic. Okay. That, that is, that will skew numbers because obviously India has way more people than the United States. So if you're only going off of numbers, right, that would not be a proper statistic. So just, we're looking at the overall data and the overall outcomes. We're looking at percentages. If you go to the World Health Organization and I understand, we probably agree on them. They're not my favorite people either. The reason I'm using them in this data is because they have decade upon decade upon decade of data regarding birth outcomes. So we need to look at the numbers. If you go to the World Health Organization, you go to maternity, you scroll to the bottom, they have a map of the world and you can hover over it and they change their website often. So if you're doing this right now, it looks like you are, you may struggle, but I'll walk you through it if we can do it together. But you can look at their, their map essentially, and you can look at where each country ranks. And they may also have like a, um, a different, maybe they're, I don't know what graph they're using, but the last time I was on there, that's what they were using. So you can look at decade upon decade of, there you go. Perfect. They are still using it. So you can look at where we're struggling with outcomes. The United States also ranks 10th out of the top 10 industrialized nations. So who's on the top 10 industrialized nation list. That's going to be the UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada, a lot of the, um, like Finland, Norway, right. Countries. Um, a lot of, um, a lot of European countries are going to be on the top 10 industrialized nations and the United States ranks less. That means it's, you're going to have better outcomes for birth in Canada or Australia or, um, the UK. And so anyone who loves statistics would be instantaneously asking, well, why, what are they doing different than the United States? And that's very easy. All of those people are seeing midwives first and getting their care primarily from a midwife before they ever see an OBGYN. So OBGYN is a surgeon. So if you're going to a surgeon, let's, let's, let's reverse this. If you had an issue with your head and you needed to have surgery on your head, because let's just say there was a tumor, right? You would want a surgeon to remove the tumor, but let's pretend you didn't want to do that methodology for your treatment. You would prefer to go a more natural route. Would you go to a surgeon and then have them guide you through how to do the, the natural route? No, you would not. That, that doesn't, that's not what they sell there. That's like going to McDonald's and asking for a steak. They don't sell that there. So what we're doing is we're taking women who have, who want normal physiological birth, and we're putting them in an institution that sells surgeries. It doesn't, it doesn't add up. So we also have to look at birth as a normal physiological process, meaning women have the capability of giving birth automatically. It's only when something arises that is out of the ordinary where we need something that the surgeon is selling. And that is very rare. So if you go back to the World Health Organization data and you look at what they're saying, and you read the fine print, they say that 90% of birth is uneventful. So what does that mean? That means that 90% of the time, we do not need any assistance with birth. As in baby can be born in the rice patty and mama can go back to picking rice. I don't recommend that. That's really bad. Postpartum care. Please don't do that to your women. However, what I'm saying is, is that 90% of the time we do not need what the hospital is selling. And out of that 10%, less than that 10%, it fluctuates between five and seven. Do we actually need a cesarean? That means there's a three to 5% of, we just need something else that they sell. Maybe Pitocin or maybe assisted delivery or maybe pain management or something along those lines. That's a very small percentage of, of individuals that need assistance, right? Yeah. Well, so I'll put out here, this was, this, this map is really fascinating. So this is showing, this is back, this is from 2023 and it's showing the maternal mortality ratio per 100,000 rates, right? So looking at, sorry, per 100,000 live births. So this is, okay, I'm assuming this is basically how many mothers die during birth per 100,000 live births. And it's kind of wild. So you look at, okay, let's look at say in the, in cotton, you know, the, the DRC Congo over, over 400, right? That's a bad number, right? Over 400 are dying. But then you look at United States, it's like you're a 17. Okay. We even look at over at Iran is 16. So actually a, a mother has a higher chance of surviving birth in a hospital in Iran than United States, which is kind of midwives or Romania, which is 12, right? You look at, I think, oh, 17 is not that bad. Well, Australia is 2.3. You know, Sweden is four, you know, Russia is nine, is 9.4. So Russia is almost double the, the health of the, of the mother than America. I mean, even China is better, 16. So for all the people that think, oh, America is just, you know, we're the best, we're the number one. This is shocking to people that especially that this is their first time hearing it. Right. And when you think about how many babies are born per year, it sounds like only 17 women are dying, right? If we're just, because if you, if you read that and you don't understand statistics, you're going, oh, just 17. But no, there's not a hundred thousand births in a year. There's multiple hundreds of thousands of births every year, which means, and it, and it wouldn't even matter if it was only 17 women, because now we're going, those 17 women belong to families. There's someone's wife, mother, daughter, auntie. They, when, when we lose a woman in a family unit, there's a huge shift, right? There's a lot of, of things that are no longer going to get done. There are a lot of things that change in a family dynamic when we lose a woman. So that that's huge, right? Children no longer have a parent. That's a primary caregiver, right? There's a lot of things that, that happen in a family when we lose a mama. Are mamas going to die during birth? Yes. Are babies going to die during birth? Yes. The, the act of dying is a part of being alive, right? We live in a fallen world. So that, that is absolutely part of being alive is dying, and we're not guaranteed how many days we get on this planet. So we have to also look at that from, from that lens as well, but we want to minimize that as much as we can. And we have countries that are doing things completely different than us and having way better outcomes. And it is midwives. And that is understanding what that word means. And that is women caring for women. We know how our body works. We know what is normal. We went to school for a really long time to know how to care for women and provide support for normal physiological health, physiological birth. Pardon me. You don't need help going to the bathroom in the morning. Each one of us wake up, we go to the bathroom, we pee, we don't need any assistance. Are there people on this planet that need assistance to do that? Yes. But that is very far and few between. However, if you and I woke up in the morning and there was an entire group of people in my bathroom that I don't know, I've never met before, bright lights, um, my legs thrown up in stirrups, there's no way I could pee. I can't, I can't perform under that type of pressure. Why are we doing that to women? Why are we in that situation? Well, and that's, you know, because I remember when, when, you know, I was kind of studying this and going through the process with my wife, you know, again, through two different births, that one of the big things that, that I learned was that a woman's level of oxytocin is directly related to her ability to loosen up and give birth. And so that oxytocin comes from me massaging her, us playing peaceful music, um, you know, creating those, that environment where she feels really safe versus like you mentioned, if you're sitting in this sterile white hospital with bright lights, with multiple people that all have masks on by the way, and some male doctor, right? Any normal woman is going to feel some level of stress with spiking cortisol, whatever it is, if she's spread open and there's some strange guy that's there looking at her with a clipboard. I mean, it's, it's like no wonder that so often they're doing cesareans or you talk to a friend, Oh, I had a 36 hour labor. Oh, I had a 24 hour labor. The baby wasn't coming. They did a cesarean. It's like, they're not looking from where I'm seeing it. It's like, as you could say, it's planned this way that it's like almost as if they're intentionally trying to make it as difficult as possible. That way they can sell their cesareans. They can sell their Pitocin. I mean, does that, what do you think about that? Let's look at this from a business perspective. Um, and, and we both run businesses here, so numbers are important to us. Outcomes are important to us. Um, time is money. It takes 30 minutes open to close to do a cesarean. Average labor is 12 to 24 hours for the first birth. That's, I said average. So you mamas out there that rocked it longer, that it's an average you and you're a rockstar and you deserve everything, but that, that right there, what do you want to sell more of? Also what's the cost of each, right? Like what is, what's the average cost of a cesarean just to walk in the door? So I didn't talk about anesthesiologists. I didn't talk about NICU team. I didn't talk about pediatrician cause you have to have one of those. I didn't talk about anything out of the nursing staff just to walk in the door. It's 50 grand just to walk in the door to the surgical suite. Okay. So it birth in America is a multifaceted cash cow. The top, uh, are you familiar with ICD 10 codes? It's the codes use in order to bill. So when an insurance company bills for a procedure, you have to have a code associated with it. Every, every procedure has, um, a code associated with it. So whether you got like a COVID test, um, uh, strep throat test, um, an IV, an arm set, every item has a code associated with it. The top 10 ICD 10 codes in the United States that are, that are billed for our, our women's healthcare related, the top 10, the top 10. So that's everything from, um, breast exams, pap smears, which please don't get those things. They're toxic. You stay away from that. Um, or mammograms don't do those. All, all the things, right. Like all the things, but birth is like the first five or seven. They're, they're, they're just cash cowing us. And so it, it has a lot to do with where, how we got to this point. And that is 120 plus years ago, Rockefeller said, Hey, we're only making money off of dudes right now. We're only having dudes come into the hospital. And we got these weird ladies running around with, with bags and a bunch of witchy potions in their bags, delivering all these babies. And there was a huge shift from the Victorian times to the Edwardian times. And if you, if you know your history, you know, that there was a huge shift regarding modesty change. There was a big modesty change that took place. And a lot of that comes from the Rockefellers and the industrialization of the medical system. There are wanted posters, Seth, look this up, wanted poster, midwife, um, 1900s. And you will see wanted posters for midwives. She's ugly. She gets unclean hands. She's not sterile. Your baby will die. Um, I have to start saving these because I'm afraid that the, the powers that be are going to start erasing these from the internet. But you can see, this is an awful, ugly, old, um, uh, Irish woman. Don't let her deliver your baby. You and your baby will die. Come to the hospital where it's white and there's tile and we can sterilize everything. And we can take care of the baby for you after you're at the baby's born. And we can give you twilight sleep and you won't bond with your baby and your milk won't come in and you won't be able to, this is not just birth and women's health care. Like this, isn't just me going off on women need to have women rights. Yes. That's a huge part of it. But this is the breakdown of the family. When you do not bond with your baby, your family falls apart. When you, you cannot have the continuation of mom, dad, baby, siblings, grandparents, and a community. If you're, if the mom isn't bonding with that baby. So if we sterilize birth and we take away the birth process, which I truly believe is the closest we will ever be to heaven on this planet is the, the veil between the spiritual world and the physical world is so thin during birth. It is just beautiful. And I don't even have enough words on the English planet to explain how gorgeous it is, but you get it. Cause you were there. It's magical. And when we strip that away and we take the spiritual element of human beings away from birth, we're now just these entities on a, on a ball, right? I'm spinning through a universe that means nothing, right? Cause that's what they want us to believe. It's nothingness out there. But when we look at what the essence of, of God created the family, which is, you know, we're supposed to be a representation of him and what he wants for the family. When we strip all that away, we now have postpartum depression. We have no women that aren't being taken care of properly. We have women that can't breastfeed properly. And it's all the disruption of the hormones, the disruption of the family. And we, it's all intentional. Ladies and gentlemen, our world is being poisoned every day. We're exposed to more chemicals sprayed into our skies, leaching into our food and polluting our air and water from pesticides and heavy metals to hormone disruptors and synthetic additives.
