FOREWORD: (BY SUSAN NELLES PINE): "It has now been 45 years since my arrest for four infant deaths at Sick Kids Hospital. I have been very reluctant to speak to any type of media source about that time, primarily because I feel it is long in the past and my focus has been on my continued enjoyment of the nursing profession and more importantly my family. However, when Gavin Hamilton approached me with this summary and update to his previous book, I was deeply moved. I always believed that there was a medical reason behind the infant deaths and Gavin’s very thorough research and writing proved this was the case. When I read it, I immediately thought “this all makes sense”! I cannot thank Gavin enough for his perseverance and dedication in his pursuit for justice. I only hope that it has the profound effect that it so deserves.

A TASTE: WHAT IS MBT POISONING? Here is Dr. Hamilton's explanation of MBT at the outset of the book: "A series of baby cardiac ward deaths was falsely attributed to Digoxin poisoning by an innocent nurse, Susan Nelles. Decades of intense research unearthed multiple facts proving there was no murder by Digoxin. There was poisoning, but the poisoning was by a known toxin, a natural rubber manufacturing chemical, MBT, that contaminated injections from rubber parts of syringes, from drug ampoule seals and from rubber parts of IV fluid administration sets. MBT increased in concentration in cardiac babies’ blood, because it isn’t broken down, nor is it eliminated in the urine. An FDA drug testing laboratory in 1980 proved that 50% of disposable syringe injection fluid. The health sciences and the general public have been kept unaware that the MBT poisoning problem even existed, yet it is permitted to persist today – as the author revealed in 2019 in Military Medicine (“Re: Latex in adult vaccines”). The Toronto baby cardiac deaths represent collateral damage in a worldwide poisoning problem. There is much to philosophize about in the story of why an aspiring young innocent nurse, Susan Nelles, was falsely charged with serial murder by Digoxin poisoning of baby cardiac patients at the Toronto Hospital for Sick Children, 1980-81, when he same pattern of increased baby cardiac deaths occurred in hospitals across Canada at that time – and in hospitals around the world. The deaths were caused by worldwide MBT contamination – leaching into injections from contact with natural rubber parts of disposable syringes, drug ampoule seals and from three sites in IV fluid administration sets."

PUBLISHER'S NOTE: I am monitoring this case/issue/resource. Keep your eye on the Charles Smith Blog for reports on developments. The Toronto Star, my previous employer for more than twenty incredible years, has put considerable effort into exposing the harm caused by Dr. Charles Smith and his protectors - and into pushing for reform of Ontario's forensic pediatric pathology system. Please send any comments or information on other cases and issues of interest to the readers of this blog to: hlevy15@gmail.com. Harold Levy: Publisher: The Charles Smith Blog. FINAL WORD: (Applicable to all of our wrongful conviction cases): "Whenever there is a wrongful conviction, it exposes errors in our criminal legal system, and we hope that this case — and lessons from it — can prevent future injustices."Lawyer Radha Natarajan: Executive Director: New England Innocence Project; FINAL, FINAL WORD: "Since its inception, the Innocence Project has pushed the criminal legal system to confront and correct the laws and policies that cause and contribute to wrongful convictions. They never shied away from the hard cases — the ones involving eyewitness identifications, confessions, and bite marks. Instead, in the course of presenting scientific evidence of innocence, they've exposed the unreliability of evidence that was, for centuries, deemed untouchable." So true;
