[James W. Prescott,
Ph.D., was a health scientist administrator at the National Institute of
Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), one of the Institutes of the US
National Institutes of
Health (NIH) from 1966 to 1980. He created and directed
the Developmental Behavioral Biology Program at the NICHD where he initiated
NICHD supported research programs that documented how the failure of "Mother
Love" in infant monkeys adversely affected the biological development of their
brains.
These behavioral effects were
confirmed in his studies on primitive cultures including the effects of sensory
deprivation of human sexual pleasure and affection during adolescence. The
results of these scientific studies do not support the many traditional
religious and cultural values throughout the world, which deny the importance of
"Mothering" and of youth affectional sexual relationships for peaceful and
loving behaviors.
The continuation of this research
was obstructed and eventually cancelled by the NICHD. Even the existence and
results of these NICHD supported research programs was consciously omitted in a
recent NIH publication.
Not only have politicians
until today failed to acknowledge the scientific reality of
somatosensory-affectional deprivation (S-SAD) and its devastating effects on the
human brain, the pioneering research by Dr. Prescott and his colleagues has been
cancelled and covered up, under the false pretext that research on the origins
of violence and on child abuse and neglect was "outside the scope of NICHD
responsibilities".]

[2006 Letter BMJ] re
Breastfeeding and Intelligence Not Demonstrated
There is increasing evidence that the long term health benefits of
breastfeeding is to be found in the emotional-social-sexual domain rather than
in the IQ domain and it takes breastfeeding bonding for 2.5 years to optimize
brain-behavioral development to realize these emotional-social- sexual
developental effects.
