HOLISTIC MIDWIFERY V1
Revisions that did not make it into the revised edition due to oversight:
6th ed.
P. 347 although this change is NOT noted in the revised edition, it has come to my attention that some practitioners suspect a link between the use of rubbing alcohol and cancer. Therefore, you may use any grain alcohol based antiseptic tincture or plain grain alcohol as a substitute for rubbing alcohol to cleanse the skin surface prior to puncture.
P. 1002 Pregnant women who do show glucose intolerance are often those with a family history of diabetes and a genetic tendency for their estrogen to bond to insulin in the presence of B6 deficiency. These women often respond dramatically to 100 mg doses of B6 three times daily which uncouples the estrogen and allows the insulin to be utilized. Because of the deficiency, this regime can be safely continued throughout pregnancy. (Wright, 1995)
