Is Breastfeeding the path to alternative perdition?

Stop calling breastfeeding ‘natural’—it creates parents opposed to vaccinations

https://wddty.com/news/2016/03/stop-cal ... tions.html
Health professionals should stop describing breastfeeding as ‘natural’: it could lead parents down the path of alternative medicine, home-schooling and becoming anti-vaccination, the American Academy of Pediatrics warns.

The label gives the impression that breastfeeding is healthier and better, say the authors, Jessica Martucci and Anne Barnhill from the medical ethics department at the University of Pennsylvania, who have launched a campaign to stop the positive use of the word ‘natural’.

Writing in the American Academy of Pediatrics’ journal, Pediatrics, they say the use of the term creates “unintended consequences”, such as being anti-vaccination. “Studies have shown that anti-vaccination sentiment tends to overlap with reliance on and interest in complementary and alternative medicine, scepticism of institutional authority and interest in health knowledge, autonomy and healthy living practices,” they say.

“If doing what is ‘natural’ is best in the case of breastfeeding, how can we expect mothers to ignore that powerful worldview when making choices about other health practices, like vaccination?”

Look, this is all political and corporate. There is a significant escalation from the
corporate powers to push drugs as the means to control everything and everything
about health and the world at large. The corollary is that anything that comes from
nature is to be controlled, suppressed, destroyed. What we see in this article is
an exercise in propaganda and how it is developed and used. This needs to be central
to any responses people make. I would also link back to the goals established by the
drug corporation controlled AMA in the early 20c. It should be part of our educational
task that we assume as holistic people.

This how mainstream "medicine" thinks. This is NOT a radical perspective; this is standard operating thought for mainstream medicine.
