&lt;p&gt;Scheibner&amp;#39;s research also appeared to show that pertussis vaccine produces severe breathing disturbances that &amp;quot;cycle&amp;quot; over a period of weeks until baby either appears to recover or worsens and dies. &amp;nbsp;It seems to me that neurotoxic mold gases PLUS breathing disturbances caused by vaccines PLUS stomach-sleeping is the deadliest combination for babies. &amp;nbsp;Wrapping mattresses properly and avoiding vaccination should virtually eliminate SIDS. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Parents who sleep with their babies should be sure to wrap their mattresses since the adults&amp;#39; body heat and sweat greatly promote mold growth; I&amp;#39;ve read that the risk of SiDS in co-sleeping babies is dramatically higher than in crib-sleeping babies. &amp;nbsp;My opinion is that babies should sleep cuddled up to their (breastfeeding) moms -- but protection from mold gases is critical.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you so much to Dr. Mercola for publishing this article! &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;About 1975 a doctor in Australia noticed that SIDS was many times more common among his Aboriginal patients. These babies would be sleeping on the ground, not on mattresses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He did blood tests on the mothers shortly before birth, and discovered that while vitamin E levels were normal in most non-aboriginals, they were negligible in the Aboriginals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So he supplied vitamin E supplements to all his Aboriginal patients. The incidence of cot deaths disappeared.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hew did Big Pharma get around the discovery? A so-called expert was interviewed on TV, and he shrugged and grinned and said &amp;quot;Vitaman E has been described as a vitamin looking for something useful to do. You can&amp;#39;t rely on any of these so-called discoveries without a program of blood tests.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That was the last we heard of the discovery.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The day before the TV attack, I had read the scientific publication, so I knew about the program of blood tests, but the man posing as an expert just ignored the facts.&lt;/p&gt;
