Infant botulism and SIDS have a similar age of death demographics but the botulism is easily found in an autopsy. A SIDS victim can die WITH a cold but not FROM a cold. The result of neglected illness, accidents, or abuse. SIDS is NOT anyone's fault. Previously it was extremely hard if not impossible to be able to study SIDS victims to find any clues on the syndrome.
Some parents object to the autopsy on religious or personal issues, which is their right.
But many parents later find that they wish they knew more about the death of their child. Dr. Krous is a leading proponent of these protocols, is willing to work with politicians, and has done a lot of the work on the California and Arizona protocols. From chiropractors claiming 'stress on the atlas while transversing the birth canal' to stories about suffocation from the ammonia in urine, SIDS has suffered from the ignorant. Articles and reports about SIDS often appear in the news media. It is important to restate that SIDS continues to be an unsolved problem.
