Cot deaths could be due to geopathic stress (GS), says Joseph Hattersley, a medical researcher and WDDTY contributor. GS is caused by distortions in the earth’s magnetic radiations as it passes through underground streams and cavities, minerals and fault lines. He believes that the risk of cot death increases fivefold where GS occurs. It has been estimated that the phenomenon may be responsible for 90 per cent of all such infant deaths.
