50 Human Studies, in Utero, Conducted in Modern China, Indicate Extreme Risk for Prenatal Ultrasound: A New Bibliography Kindle Edition

This book presents a Bibliography of Chinese Human Studies, with commentary, analysis, tables, and graphs by Jim West. This is arcana, buried, disconnected documentation.

This bibliography includes over 50 studies of in utero fetal exposure, conducted in the modern era. These provide empirical evidence of ultrasound hazards to humans. The analytic techniques are sophisticated, far exceeding Western studies.

Presently, both the mainstream and the critics believe there are few modern ultrasound studies.

Decades ago, Western scientists had already found ultrasound hazards by way of animal studies, however, they claimed they were unable to confirm these with human studies, and unable to conduct human studies due to abortion and human rights ethics. Human studies were virtually banned in the Western realm. The medical industry was not reporting any human damage, and thus, it was assumed that humans were resistant to ultrasound toxicity.

These studies were previously unknown to the Western realm and little known even in the East. These represent a limited period of new, optimistic research, circa 1988 to 2011. These were pushed aside by a tremendous continual flood of studies that promote ultrasound medical and therapeutic innovations.

Because of cultural and language gaps, and an apparent lack of interest by industry to promote these studies, these studies have sat dormant, not discussed outside of China.

The studies reside in Chinese online databases in Chinese language. Some of these were roughly and partially translated by machine software. Many are not available through search engines, except directly through the Chinese databases.

Their conclusions are stunning, with recommendations that ultrasound sessions should be completely avoided "for a quality pregnancy". Only if there are specific medical indications should ultrasound be recommended, and at minimum intensity settings. A session should last no more than 3 minutes, 5 minutes at most. Multiple sessions should be avoided.

These guidelines reflect and confirm the U.S. National Institute of Health "Consensus Statement", published in 1984.

Note: This e-book can be read with a computer, SmartPhone, or Kindle reader. The e-book has an advantage in that the numerous references can be accessed via hyperlinks.

The great Jim West has done it! ...His meticulous analysis... has turned the establishment on its head. If I were the king of Pulitzers, I would give him a dozen. He is what truly deep reporting is all about. NoMoreFakeNews.com

Manuel F. Casanova, MD, Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at University of Louisville.

This is important work. Attention must be brought upon the subject. Ultrasound is more than taking pretty pictures of babies. You have brought together the field... on the subject, from physics to biology and medicine. Your writing should raise awareness in the layperson, that ultrasound is a "buyers beware" market. That before the glacial pace of our government moves to take action it is their responsibility to become informed and take adequate decisions.

Your book is wonderful. You found the human studies... terrifying! I wish I were wrong.

Great job. Your book is doing a valuable service to the childbearing public... You just cannot expose a fetus to this much energy without doing harm. For example, see Newnham (1993).
Zvonko Hočevar, LLT Dr, Ljubljana University Medical Centre
Congratulations for your book and your courage in presenting this topic to public. Heartfelt thanks! I did my Doctorate of Science, finding 'no evidence based medicine' supporting 'safety' of ultrasound in IVF (in vitro fertilization) procedures.

From the Author

This unprecedented breakthrough enables tremendous extensions of prior ultrasound criticism. Technical jargon and math are simplified and minimized. Comprehensive commentary is throughout. Authoritative guidance is provided by Ruo Feng, PhD, the ALARA principles, and the NIH Consensus Statement. This book demonstrates virtually no lower damage threshold for ultrasound exposure. Guidelines often advise against ultrasound sessions unless there is an overriding medical need, considering risk/benefit with a medical professional.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

The author, Jim West, independently found massive evidence to support his hypothesis that persistent pesticides caused The Great Polio Epidemic, post-WWII, and organochlorines in milk caused the great 1916 epidemic in New York City. His book contains original graphs and statistical analysis, regarding epidemiology, virology, and dose/response.

West has been acclaimed globally by many independent authors and researchers. His work has been used by medical critics to review the properties and politics of disease paradigms. West has virtually no detractors who are able to debate him in any forum that could be made public. Mainstream responses to his simple and civil arguments include closing forums and threads.

West has served as Chairman of the Science Committee for the NoSpray Coalition, which successfully litigated against New York City over the matter of aerial pesticide spray programs. He is a member of GreenSpeakers, a Toastmaster group.

His work was the foundation of an article in The Ecologist, the world's leading ecology journal, acclaimed as a "Hot Topic" for six months.

He has devoted much of his life to the study of medical science and politics, a study initiated at an very early age as a matter of survival. He has a scientific background, with a university level education in engineering, physics, chemistry, advanced math and various psychologies, though without completing his degree. He is self-taught in microbiology, biochemistry, toxicology, electronics and computer assembly language. He has some commercial achievement in designing chemical products.

Jim is a dedicated researcher, journalist and advocate for the environment and responsible industry. He sees significant research advantages beyond those in official professional capacities. With less political complications, he is able to critique the professional medical mainstream in areas of scientific truth where a professional can be limited by a web of beliefs, rules and laws influenced by vested interests.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jim West does a wonderful job of not only presenting the research
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2015

This is a well written book on a crucially important subject. When my pregnant spouse received her first ultrasounds, I quickly found reliable references (NIH's national library of health) that clearly showed that ultrasound is damaging to developing mammal brains. The studies on mice and rodents was enough to convince me that prenatal ultrasound is far from the harmless test promoted by the medical industry. This book reveals that the largest body of evidence on ultrasound safety is surprisingly human studies done in China. Since the studies were performed on women about to undergo elective abortions, the studies have controls (no ultrasound), and various levels of ultrasound exposure, at standard power levels (or lower) for diagnostic imaging ultrasound.
The results: Diagnostic ultrasound is found to be extremely damaging to the fetus. Even very low power levels and exposure times cause cell death and cell damage.
Even before reading this book, I was convinced that prenatal ultrasound is leading to the boom in autism and other developmental disorders in children (ADD, ADHD, etc). After reading this book, any doubt I had about the damaging effects of ultrasound are gone.
Jim West does a wonderful job of not only presenting the research, but providing a framework for understanding what is going on. How could the medical doctors and community go on giving more and more frequent, more and more powerful ultrasound exams when this evidence exists? Conflict of interest of the experts in this field explains a lot. The quotes of leading US experts in ultrasound imaging (all MDs) all state diagnostic ultrasound has not been proven harmful (false statement), they worrying indicate more research is needed, giving themselves a more "out."

If you or someone you love is pregnant, think before submitting to prenatal ultrasounds. Do yourself a favor: pay the few dollars for this book, and protect your unborn loved one. It is an uphill fight, but you can refuse, or at least limit, prenatal ultrasounds.

5.0 out of 5 stars At long last, credible science to address another medical sacred cow!!

Amazing information!! This kind of research would be impossible to conduct in the West due to ethical reasons I would imagine, but I'm grateful it has been done, and even more grateful Jim West has brought it to us. Earlier research in the West cast significant doubts on the safety of prenatal ultrasound and the Chinese studies leave NO DOUBT... it is dangerous. The studies outline the conditions under which prenatal ultrasound is biologically damaging, and the reader is informed on the safety boundaries for its use. I have, for a long time, had my suspicions about ultrasound safety though I could not find material to confirm it. Quite the contrary, all the medical mainstream information gave glowing safety reports. I have an 18month old boy that was subjected to multiple ultrasound events due to his being a high risk pregnancy. I was quite insistent that the sessions remain very focused and no "loitering" on any one anatomical location. The sonographer and medical staff, though polite, thought I was over-reacting and repeatedly reassured me of its safety. I only wish I had found out about this book before the pregnancy. I would have created some waves to be sure...
BTW: my son is healthy and I assume, not affected by the exposure. However... How can I be sure?? Mr West, perhaps your next book could address the science that may address the question? No easy task I'm sure, especially when no one wants to produce data that goes counter to, or threatens, the economic viability of existing medical and Big Pharma stranglehold on pseudo-scientific popular health consensus.

Although the author is undoubtedly bias, he presents large amounts of research which cast a concerning light on Western obstetric practice. If these studies are valid, parents are unknowingly harming their children at their most vulnerable and contributing to the prevalence of autism and birth defects in the US. These studies, whether considered ethical or not, should be considered by our law making and regulatory bodies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Empirical Evidence.

There are two sides to every story. One side has a lot of money. The other is you.

You owe it to yourself, your family, and unborn child to do as much research as you can whenever a Dr. wants to administer or prescribe something to you, or in my case my pregnant wife.

The "standard of care" in modern medicine isn't concerned with the outcome of your health anymore; it stands for increased profits.

The study Jim West transcribed from China is empirical evidence, contrary to the long held belief that: "because it hasn't been proven dangerous, it must be safe".

I almost sent a copy of this book to my wife's first OBGYN after he condescendingly told me there was no risk with DUS. This was prior to reading this book; but at the time with my wife 7 weeks pregnant, I felt very uneasy with a medical procedure for something that was not a condition. Needless to say, we left without doing a DUS and never returned.

Take responsibility for your health, do research, try not to be a victim to conformation bias nor accept authority for truth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable that this isn't common knowledge in the west.
Reviewed in Canada on October 17, 2018

If you are, or are planning to get pregnant this is a must read. As usual, western medicine has rapidly increased the use of technologies ~never~ proven to be safe. There is an automatic assumption of safety, rather than a proven one. Not only that, as each generation of the equipment gets exponentially more powerful (energy transmitted to the fetus cells) they too are automatically grandfathered as safe. These Chinese human studies for which the west has no analog, prove that there is virtually no safe dose of ultrasonic radiation for fetus, and that they are especially harmful at certain key times like early brain development. It's one thing to use an ultrasound to quickly check for an emergency situation, but the ultrasound entertainment industry of 30 or 60 minute imaging are doing damage and should be banned entirely.

Must read book for anyone considering an ultrasound during pregnancy. Medicine is supposed to be based on INFORMED CONSENT, but in the West we bury our heads in the sand instead.

Great summary of these studies whose results are otherwise not so accessible to the average person. It's the kind of information you don't really want to hear but you're glad you did so you can make better decisions about ultrasound during your own pregnancy. Even if some of it is a bit too technical and can go over your head - you still get the overall point of what the studies discovered.

5.0 out of 5 stars but has been presented with notes throughout that highlight important points in a way that makes it easy to understand

Simply put, this is incredibly important information that, so far, has been ignored and overlooked by the medical community in general. It is not light reading, but has been presented with notes throughout that highlight important points in a way that makes it easy to understand.
The truth is that ultrasound on pregnant women and unborn children has NOT been adequately tested in the western world, and therefore the information presented in this book is rare and extremely valuable. Reading this gave me concrete reasons to refuse an unecessary ultrasound, and gave enough strength to my conviction so that I was not worn down or bullied by the baseless arguments and belittling comments of the unquestioning majority.
Given that home-use dopplers are becoming more and more popular and widely used, the information on the effects of dopplers on foetuses is also very important. I sincerely wish every woman would read this book before buying a doppler to 'reassure herself' multiple times a day throughout her pregnancy.
The herd mentality is not easy to detach from, but this book provides solid, scientific evidence to anyone asking the important (and usually unasked) question: 'But is prenatal ultrasound really safe?'
