Dear Friends:
    There are a few more articles on this topic than this one I sent of its
abstract.
    There are also studies denying this association/connection/relation.
    I suspect that cesarean section may be inducing a susceptibility in the
baby. A susceptibility is a planted weakness that another
stressor/artificiality/aura may be able to break through. Too many weaknesses piling up create
dis-ease. For example: cesarean section + partial breastfeeding for 3 weeks +
artificial feeding exclusively to six months +  multiple ear infections with
antibiotics + a polluted city = One asthmatic child?
    Like a tiny bruise in one layer of the onion. Cut it out and use onion.
    But a bigger bruise........then cut more out. Still use onion.
    If a huge bruise, throw the whole damn onion away because it is no good
or not worth saving.
    Can't do that with babies!
   Another reason that breastfeeding is essential. If the mothering hormones
and baby hormones don't get in synch at birth, breastfeeding is about the last
time that they can get in synch relatively easily. This can salvage a rough
beginning, such as with cesarean section.
