The Cause of SIDS (Crib Death)

The cause of SIDS (crib death) was fully exposed over 15 years ago, The Toxic Gas Explanation

Mattress-wrapping, a simple intervention based on this explanation, has proved to be effective in preventing crib death (p=1.9x10-22)

The total success of this intervention, together with the concurrence of the explanation with all crib death epidemiology from various countries, provides conclusive evidence that there is only one cause of crib death

Crib death results from poisoning by toxic gases

The gases are generated by fungal activity on compounds of the elements phosphorus, arsenic and antimony (P, As & Sb) in the baby’s bedding, especially in crib mattresses (and also found in adult bedding)

The gases can be ingested by the baby either by breathing or by diffusion through the skin

The danger rises rapidly as mattresses are re-used from one baby to the next

The effect of ingestion of the gases is to interrupt and then stop the baby’s breathing, and shortly afterwards cause heart function to cease
