NPR: How to make labor more painful (SURPRISE!)
NPR journalists say: "Surprise us"
"Surprise us...[W]e are looking for stories, events or people that present something new, important, and interesting to a nationwide audience..." --NPR = National Public Radio http://www.npr.org/about/pitch/index.html PREGNANT WOMEN (any pregnant NPR staffers reading?): MDs are closing birth canals up to 30% and it's EASY to allow your birth canal to open the "extra" up to 30%! See BEWARE though below. HOW NPR CAN MAKE LABOR MORE PAINFUL... FIRST... HOW **NPR NEWS** CAN MAKE LABOR MORE PAINFUL a. Don't report on the fact that MDs are knowingly closing birth canals up to 30% by using semisitting and dorsal delivery. b. Don't report on the fact that MDs indirectly admit ON VIDEO that they are closing birth canals. c. Don't report on the fact that in ACOG's Shoulder Dystocia Drill video, American MDs purport to tell each other how to allow birth canals to OPEN maximally when shoulders get stuck - which means MDs know they are CLOSING birth canals most of the time. d. Don't report on the "kicker": ACOG's method of allowing the birth canal to open actually keeps it closed! See ACOG birth crime video evidence http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2300 e. Finally, don't report on the fact that The Merck Manual also contains an indirect admission that MDs are knowingly closing birth canals up to 30%. (NOTE: The Merck Manual is quoted below; ACOG = American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) REMEMBER: "It is established obstetric teaching that a narrow pelvic outlet predisposes to a difficult vaginal delivery..." --Dr. Andrea Froschauer-Frudinger et al. [Br J Obstet Gynaecol 2002;109(11):1207-12] We all know what difficult vaginal deliveries can lead to... SECOND... HOW **NPR INTERVIEWERS** CAN MAKE LABOR MORE PAINFUL a. Don't ask birth experts (doula's, midwives, MDs) who are interviewed on NPR why they've been "forgetting" to mention the bizarre medical practice of closing birth canals routinely at delivery... b. Don't ask birth experts why they've been "forgetting" to mention the following facts that explain why some women BEG for epidurals and end up with C-sections... Fact #1: OBs cause EXTRA PAIN by making the uterus push with the birth canal senselessly closed up to 30%. Fact #2: OBs cause MAJOR extra pain by chemically whipping the uterus with oxytocin, Cytotec, PGE2 - causing it to contract VIOLENTLY with the birth canal senselessly closed up to 30%. Fact #3: These chemically-induced VIOLENT uterine contractions understandably cause women to BEG for epidurals as many end up with C-sections. c. Don't ask birth experts (eg. ICAN/Pink Kit) why they've been "forgetting" to mention that MDs are CAUSING cephalopelvic disproportion (and failure to progress) then performing C-sections BEcause of cephalopelvic disproportion (and failure to progress). d. Don't ask birth experts why they've been "forgetting" to mention that the epidural rate and the C-section rate would likely go down significantly if MDs STOPPED closing birth canals and causing EXTRA PAIN. REMEMBER: "It is established obstetric teaching that a narrow pelvic outlet predisposes to a difficult vaginal delivery..." --Dr. Andrea Froschauer-Frudinger et al. [Br J Obstet Gynaecol 2002;109(11):1207-12] DIFFICULT VAGINAL DELIVERIES LEAD TO C-SECTIONS... PREGNANT WOMEN (any pregnant NPR staff members reading?)... MDs, MBs and midwives (esp. CNMwives) are closing birth canals up to 30%. To allow your birth canal to OPEN the "extra" up to 30% simply roll onto your side as you push your baby out. Or go to hands-and-knees, or kneel or stand or squat - LOTS of "alternative" delivery positions allow the birth canal to open the "extra" up to 30%. Do NOT let your MD, MB or midwife try to deliver your baby vaginally with you semisitting or dorsal! Talk to your MD, MB or midwife about this today. BEWA Some MDs, MBs and midwives (esp. CNMwives; see below) like semisitting so much they allow women to labor in "alternative" positions but then move them to semisitting (close their birth canals!) for the actual delivery! Make sure your MD, MB, or midwife promises not to close your birth canal as you push your baby out! Again - any pregnant NPR staffers reading? Maybe this will reach pregnant NPR staffers if I bcc the following NPR email addresses: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; READERS (esp. Larry McMahan): PLEASE URGE birth experts - those who discuss birth in print and in the media - to ALWAYS point out that MDs are senselessly closing birth canals, etc. - until MDs stop this bizarre birth practice. PLEASE URGE NPR Ombudsman Jeffrey A. Dvorkin ) to have NPR interviewers remind birth experts to mention that MDs are senselessly closing birth canals, etc. LARRY (JUST MENTIONED) STIMULATED THIS POST... Larry McMahan ) mentioned me as he said he was "****ED" (emphasis added) about an NPR interview with a doula he had heard about... Larry wrote: "Move over Henci and [Todd], Now I'm ****ed...[the doula's] epidural rate was 40%...better than the 70% average, but it is no big whoppee!" http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...t01.boi.hp.com Larry, When you titled your post "Now I'm ****ed," I was HOPING you might mention whether the doula interviewed on NPR failed to mention that MDs are closing birth canals. After all, I had just called your attention to Henci's glaring omission of this fact... See Henci Goer's mysterious silence about a White Elephant Fact... http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2336 Does Monika remember whether the doula mentioned that MDs are closing birth canals? I would love to hear that she did - but I doubt it - doulas are no better than midwives (or MDs) in this regard... Most doulas, midwives (esp. CNMwives) and MDs are "prisoners" of a SILENT protocol - babies be damned... Michel Odent, MD is a terrible offender in this regard... Yale CNMwifery Prof. Helen Varney is too - she actually ignored my pleas and PROMOTED closing the birth canal (semisitting)! See Odent on forceps (also: midwives 'prisoners of protocol')? http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2341 DOULA PENNY SIMKIN and NPR OMBUDSMAN JEFFREY A. DVORKIN... NPR Ombudsman Jeffrey A. Dvorkin ) mentions a complaint from a doula. NPR Ombudsman Jeffrey writes: "...Susan Stamberg interviewed a doula, or childbirth coach...The interview was a good one although the doula interviewed was PENNY Simkin, NOT PEGGY Simkin...Correction please?...Elaine Aragon Doula, Boulder, Colorado" http://www.npr.org/yourturn/ombudsman/020208.html It is good that NPR interviewed Doula Penny Simkin - but I doubt Penny mentioned that MDs are closing birth canals either. Doula Penny knows MDs and CNMwives routinely close birth canals... She writes: "[M]ost doctors and [nurse] midwives are accustomed to the semisitting position...[T]hey may be willing to let you try other positions, if you ask...[But]...as you get close to delivery...[they] may ask you to move to [semisitting]..." [Simkin, P, Whalley J, Keppler, A. Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Newborn: The Complete Guide (Expanded and updated). Meadowbrook Press: Minnetonka, MN (dist. by Simon and Schuster). 2001:201] Coincidentally, I mentioned Doula Penny Simkin in a post I cc'd to Henci Goer... See Henci says OBs causing 'short violent labors'/Semisitting birth is NOT physiological! http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2008 JASON GARDOSI MD ON GRISLY SEMISITTING DELIVERY: "...the weight of the mother is in part taken on the sacrum which is therefore pushed upwards, thus decreasing the antero-posterior diameter of the pelvic outlet..." --British National Health Service/NHS West Midlands Perinatal Institute/WMPI, Jason Gardosi, MD, Director http://www.wmpi.net/reviews/oe/oe_shoulder_dystocia.htm NHS's Jason Gardosi, MD once tried to "scientifically" *cover-up* the obstetric crime: Gardosi and colleagues conducted a "randomised controlled trial of squatting" where nobody squatted - and got it published in The Lancet. Squatting allows sacroiliac motion and Gardosi et al.'s "squatting" women were semirecumbent in Gardosi's Birth Cushion which was specifically designed to allow sacroiliac motion - which is presumably why Gardosi et al. were allowed to call their study a "squatting" study. Semirecumbency (semisitting) normally DENIES sacroiliac motion - keeps the birth canal closed up to 30%. I discuss Gardosi further in Sarah Key's huge balls (also: Kids can SQUAT motionless for hours)... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/2084 (Sarah is occasional physiotherapist to HRH Prince of Wales.) BTW, Gardosi (and obstetrician pal Malcolm Griffiths) helped get me censored from OBGYN-List an international obstetrician listserv for suggesting that obstetricians should stop closing birth canals! Fortunately though, two of my OBGYN-List posts were archived before I was censored... See http://forums.obgyn.net/forums/ob-gy...9707/0128.html http://forums.obgyn.net/ob-gyn-l/OBGYNL.9707/0153.html FURTHER COMMENT BELOW - after Larry's cyber barf... : ) "Larry McMahan" wrote in message ... [Move over Henci and Tood, Now I'm ****ed]...and I didn't even hear the program.... Monika did and told me about it. One of our local NPR stations (KALW, SF Unified School Dist) had an interview with a Doula. What a crock. She kept going on and on about how good the OBs and hospitals she worked with were. Her epidural rate was 40%. OK. I admit that is better than the 70% average, but it is no big whoppee! Reminds me of the Union big wheels whose job it to protect the workers from corporate excess, but who have thier hands in the workers pockets also. Excuse me while I barf, Larry Larry, I would say MDs and MBs are the "Union big wheels" and midwives and doulas are "Union LITTLE wheels"... Corporate excess = Pharmamafia = epidurals in 70% of 4 million births... Only a member of a pharmaceutical mafia would maintain "omerta" - a code of silence - as epidural drug salesmen (MDs) close birth canals! As indicated above, Pharmamafia member MERCK indirectly ADMITS that MDs are routinely closing birth canals - and has been doing so since I pointed out the grisly gaff to Merck in 1999! According to The Merck Manual, "When shoulder dystocia occurs, all available personnel should be summoned to the room, then the mother's thighs are hyperflexed to increase the diameter of the pelvic outlet..." http://www.merck.com/mrkshared/mmanu...er253/253g.jsp I recently wrote to Merck: Arrrggghhhh! Sorry to get E-motional but... Why don't MDs increase the diameter of the pelvic outlet BEFORE baby's shoulders get stuck? Why are MDs violently PUSHING on tiny spines (with Cytotec, oxytocin, PGE2) with birth canals senselessly closed up to 30%? Why are MDs gruesomely PULLING on tiny spines (with hands, forceps, vacuums) with birth canals senselessly closed up to 30%? Sometimes MDs pull so hard they rip spinal nerves out of tiny spinal cords! ALL spinal manipulation is gruesome with the birth canal senselessly closed up to 30%! ATTENTION MERCK MANUAL EDITORS Robert Berkow, MD and Mark H. Beers, MD... Back when I notified you of this grisly birth gaff in 1999... See 1999 Merck Manual/Homebirth/Brain bleeds/Scoliosis http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...st/message/150 I erroneously thought MDs were rolling women off their sacra when hyperflexing the mother's thighs... BE ADVISED: Merely hyperflexing the mother's thighs (ostensibly "to increase the diameter of the pelvic outlet") KEEPS THE PELVIC OUTLET CLOSED - just like in the ACOG video! See again: ACOG birth crime video evidence http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2300 As usual, I am in favor of pardons in advance for MDs. MDs are just academic prime cuts forced through this culture's most powerful mental meatgrinder - medical school. MDs can't stop their criminal negligence (which sometimes escalates to criminally negligent homicide) - because stopping it would be tantamount to admitting it. Pardons in advance will allow MDs to keep making money doing their valid medical work so that they can pay the inevitable civil damages. END excerpt of Grisly birth gaff is in Merck Manual too! http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2346 Larry, again, the "union boss" called Organized medicine is a tool of corporate excess - the Pharmamafia...and always has been. The Pharmamafia has plenty of MONEY. Money is a huge motivator. As you are likely aware, money is used to mold MD prescribing behavior - and nowadays via TV - we are subtly programmed to ASK MDs to prescribe Pharmamafia products... QUESTION... Isn't it just POSSIBLE that prominent "alternative" birth voices are silent on certain issues because they are PAID to be silent - under the table? No way to prove it - but why ELSE (for example) would Henci Goer discuss MDs chemically whipping uteri and NOT mention MDs closing birth canals? Why *did* Henci fail to strengthen her own argument with The White Elephant Fact? (You indicated she is aware of the White Elephant Fact - and indeed I emailed it to her last year!) See again: Henci says OBs causing 'short violent labors'/Semisitting birth is NOT physiological! http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2008 Your explanation did not explain, Larry... See Larry McMahan and Henci Goer and The White Elephant Fact... http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2337 This is why I was hoping to see that you were ****ed that the NPR doula did not mention MDs senselessly closing birth canals up to 30%... EVERY discussion (on NPR or elsewhere) of high epidural rates and high cesarean rates should include the FACT that MDs are closing birth canals then causing VIOLENT uterine contractions thereby SENSELESSLY INCREASING THE PAIN OF CHILDBIRTH - thereby causing women to beg for epidurals - often ending up with cesareans... SILENCE about MDs closing birth canals - THAT is how to make labor more painful. NOTE: I am NOT saying here that causing MDs and CNMwives to allow birth canals to open maximally will get rid of all labor pain! I *AM* saying though that causing MDs and CNMwives to allow birth canals to open maximally will prevent a lot of SENSELESS labor pain! As noted above, as usual, I am in favor of pardons in advance for MDs. MDs are just academic prime cuts forced through this culture's most powerful mental meatgrinder - medical school. MDs can't stop their criminal negligence (which sometimes escalates to criminally negligent homicide) - because stopping it would be tantamount to admitting it. Pardons in advance will allow MDs to keep making money doing their valid medical work so that they can pay the inevitable civil damages. VAGINAS DELIBERATE TEARS IN VAGINAS... EPISIOTOMY: AMERICAN MEDICINE'S MOST FREQUENT SURGICAL BEHAVIOR TOWARD FEMALES... Michael C. Klein, MD writes: "[E]pisiotomy is a deliberate second degree tear." [Birth. Letter. 2002;29(1):74] They are usually FRAUDULENT deliberate tears... MDs are slashing vaginas en masse - surgically/FRAUDULENTLY inferring they are doing everything possible to OPEN birth canals - even as they CLOSE birth canals - up to 30%. Organized medicine's vagina fraud goes deeper... Some MDs are still claiming (fraudulently) that their episiotomies are *preventing* severe tears clear to the anus when in fact MDs are CAUSING severe tears clear to the anus! In 1990 the National Institutes of Health researched the issue and found that deliberate tears by MDs (episiotomies) cause fifty times MORE severe tears (tears clear to the anus) relative to leaving the vagina alone.[Shiono et al. Obstet Gynecol 1990;75(5):765-70. In Klein et al. Online J Curr Clin Trials (Jul1)1992, Doc. No. 10] What happens when MDs cause lots of vaginas to tear? Well, it hurts a lot - and women can have bladder and anal/rectal problems... Sometimes the vagina wound gets INFECTED... Rarely, women lose their vaginas - or rather - much necrosed vulval/vaginal tissue needs to be removed... Women are being hospitalized in droves because of the vagina slashing (and possibly because of the hostile microbial environment where it is administered): "The most common diagnosis for hospitalization among all women is trauma to perineum due to childbirth." http://www.ahcpr.gov/data/hcup/factbk3/factbk3.htm MDs are deliberately/senselessly traumatizing perinea - and calling it "childbirth." (!) This is not childbirth! This is MEDICAL birth - obvious criminal activity... MDs don't charge for their episiotomies I don't think... But they *do* charge for treating the aftermath... MDs are not only hospitalizing women DURING birth - they are using birth to hospitalize women AFTER birth! This is MASSIVE health fraud! Pardons in advance will speed an end to it. Again: Pardons in advance will allow MDs to keep doing their valid medical work so they will have money to pay the inevitable civil damages. Which reminds me... Has anyone heard of a SINGLE birth trauma attorney telling a jury that MDs are knowingly closing birth canals? I haven't heard of any... Still hoping though... See Atila the OB, hospitals ordered to pay $63 million... http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2340 Maybe NPR will do a story and birth trauma attorneys will hear and... One can only hope. Thanks for reading everyone.
