Chiros ignoring BPI crime and the Schroeder/Rule 302 matter - was The Cost of Voicing Opinions on the Internet
I recently wrote to ATTORNEY ANTHONY MANCINI:
I don't think OB/GYNs *want* to ignore the medical literature (and simple biomechanics) and close birth canals up to 30%. I think OB/GYNs HAVE to close birth canals because it's such obvious criminal negligence that stopping it will be tantamount to admitting it. What you need, Anthony, is a BRAVE OB/GYN - a man willing to speak up and render his whole profession susceptible to criminal prosecution and massive civil liability. See Attorney looking for 'credible' OB/GYNs... http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2360 I think OB/GYNs have HIRED people to help hide their massive crime against babies. I think this is at the crux of the Schroeder/Rule 302 matter... Brenda Copeland-Moore just threw the Schroeder/Rule 302 matter in my face... Brenda wrote: "Just found this, interesting?" http://lists.topica.com/lists/erbs/r...?mid=808763762 Brenda, That Schroeder/Rule 302 matter *is* interesting! REPUBLICAN Attorney Michaeal Schroeder and the Calif. State Board of Chiro. Examiners are remaining silent as Brachial Plexus Injured/BPI children suffer PERMANENT PARALYSIS because they had their spines GRUESOMELY manipulated by MDs senselessly closing birth canals up to 30%. MDs are violently PUSHING on tiny spines (with oxytocin, Cytotec, PGE2) and gruesomely PULLING (with hands, forceps, vacuums) - with birth canals senselessly closed up to 30%. (ALL spinal manipulation is gruesome with the birth canal senselessly closed up to 30%.) Why do you suppose "chiropractic" Attorney Schroeder and the Calif. Board of Chiro Examiners are remaining silent about MDs closing birth canals up to 30% and gruesomely manipulating most babies' spines? (I ask because you found the article about the Schroeder/Rule 302 matter interesting.) Why do you suppose the Schroeder-influenced "chiropractic" newspaper from which you copied (see below) is remaining silent about the massive MD spinal manipulation crime? Could it be that REPUBLICAN politico attorney Schroeder (and politico/chiro confederates including the editor of the newspaper) are PLAYING SILENT POLITICS for profit - "for chiropractic"? What if the late RC Shafer, DC, PhD was right in his suggestion that political chiropractic is being run from behind the scenes by political medicine? What POLITICAL PLUMS might be won from organized medicine were REPUBLICAN chiros (or Democratic chiros for that matter!) to keep the chiro trade unions silent about the obvious massive MD spinal manipulation crime? I personally think organized medicine has been attacking chiropractors for causing strokes and for adjusting kids because organized medicine fears exposure of the gruesome mass spinal manipulation by MDs at birth. NOTE: There is NO scientific evidence that DCs should be adjusting kids (someone correct me if I am wrong) - but neither is there evidence that MDs should be closing birth canals and GRUESOMELY manipulating most babies' spines! Chiro/politicos are having some successes! Florida REPUBLICANS reportedly just got MILLIONS for a brand new chiropractic college to be built at Florida State University in a time when chiropractic enrollments nationwide have reportedly shrunk drastically! (Don't get me wrong! I am PLEASED that the State of Florida is investing in chiropractic! I just think the State of Florida should FIRST stop MDs from closing birth canals and gruesomely manipulating most babies' spines! This would probably save BILLIONS by the way - not to mention saving tiny lives and tiny limbs and PREVENTING more vertebral subluxations than DCs will ever be able to adjust by hand.) Brenda, you did not like me saying that RAHUL K. NATH, MD who directly PROFITS from brachial plexus injury is remaining silent about OBs senselessly closing birth canals... I SAY AGAIN: Rahul indicates on his website that LARGE SIZE babies contribute to brachial plexus injury but makes NO MENTION of the fact obstetricians are knowingly closing birth canals up to 30%! See Silent Dr. Nath: BPI malpractice suits as prevention http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2357 See also BRENDA'S "response" to "Silent Dr. Nath - with Gastaldo's reply to Brenda... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/2359 Brenda - besides publicly pretending that RAHUL K. NATH, MD isn't being silent about the obstetric crime that brings him business - what ELSE are you doing to help BPI children? (NOTE: I am NOT saying that Rahul isn't a fine surgeon! Indeed, I've acknowledged that he's probably the best! WHY though is he silent about MDs closing birth canals?! Why is he ignoring his ethical obligation to do simple things that - given his own LARGE SIZE baby verbiage - would PREVENT that which he charges to treat?) Powerful people are known to bring libel lawsuits to stifle freedom of speech. Indeed, there is a "SLAPP" law in California that recognizes this fact. (I think SLAPP stands for Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation.) I would *love* to have had the money to go down and argue that Schroeder/Rule 302 matter in California. Incidentally, early on, I asked Schroeder what it would take to make his libel lawsuit go away. Schroeder wanted me to give him $1000 dollars and sign a statement that contained obvious lies. I refused. I still have his faxes and surface mail. (It's legal to force someone to sign lies to make a lawsuit go away - or rather - "negotiations" to make a lawsuit go away are not admissible if the legal proceedings go forward - or so I was informed by an attorney.) Schroeder's Rule 302 is now being challenged in court in Tain et al. v. Calif. State Board of Chiropractic Examiners et al. I believe Schroeder in effect helped 10 MD-obstetricians judicially rubberstamp an illegal regulation - Rule 302 - to keep DCs from thinking about birth - to cover-up GRUESOME spinal manipulation by MDs. I have no proof - but regardless though whether I am right (I believe I am of course), WHY is "chiropractic" Attorney Schroeder ignoring the obvious MD spinal manipulation crime?! Schroeder's Rule 302 explicitly prohibits Calif. DCs - who used to attend homebirths - from so much as severing the umbilical cord! IMAGINE THAT! MDs can close birth canals gruesomely manipulate most babies' spines - and sometimes sever spinal NERVES - and DCs can't even sever *umbilical cords*!? And Atty Schroeder remains silent! WHY?! I can see why Brenda finds the Schroeder/Rule 302 matter interesting! BTW Brenda, I mentioned Tain et al.'s challenge to Schroeder's Rule 302 in a recent post to as follows.... BEGIN excerpt of What is Erb's?/Dr. Hein on Erb's & Gherman/Erb's class action http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2349 ABOUT TODD D. GASTALDO, DC... Some may remember me from the now-defunct Erbs Coollist, . I am a retired^^^ doctor of chiropractic/DC. I am interested in PREVENTING Erb's/brachial plexus injury - or - in any event - halting the bizarre routine obstetrician/CNMwife practice of closing birth canals up to 30% at delivery. ^^^What do I mean by "retired"? Since my "retirement," I have been working nearly non-stop making NON-SPINAL (educational) chiropractic adjustments that ANYONE can make - licensed, degreed or not. Dr. DD Palmer, Founder of chiropractic, defined chiropractic in part as "the mental act of accumulating knowledge." [1910:19] DD's definition of chiropractic is not so crazy as it sounds since medicine is RESTRICTING "the mental act of accumulating knowledge" - especially in regard to birth. HOW I CAME TO BE "RETIRED" Back in the early 90s, after a man claiming to be Michael Schroeder attorney for the California Board of Chiropractic Examiners told me it was not within my scope of practice to tell pregnant women that obstetricians were/are closing birth canals... So I became unlicensed by choice: I saw NO reason to pay a chiropractic board to tell me I can't work to save tiny live and tiny limbs and PREVENT more vertebral subluxations than licensed DCs will ever be able to adjust by hand. (I would LOVE to hear though that the Calif. Board of Chiropractic Examiners finds my non-spinal practice of chiropractic legal...) I now devote near full-time to helping pregnant women engage in "the mental act of accumulating knowledge" - esp. regarding obstetricians/CNMwives gruesomely manipulating most babies' spines. NOTE: ALL spinal manipulation is gruesome with the birth canal senselessly closed up to 30%. MORE ON (ANOTHER?) SCHROEDER... Incidentally, an Attorney Michael Schroeder, attorney for the California Board of Chiropractic Examiners helped 10 MD-obstetricians judicially rubberstamp his (Schroeder's) Rule 302 which explicitly made it illegal for Calif. DCs to so much as sever umbilical cords! This same Attorney Michael Schroeder - who subsequently became Chairman of the Calif. Republican Party - later sued me for one million dollars for publicly suggesting that his Rule 302 illegally narrowed the California scope of chiropractic practice. I spent about $2500 dollars trying to move the trial to Oregon - but Atty Schroeder won that jurisdiction battle and - in his jurisdiction was awarded a default judgement of $25,000 dollars - the merits of the case never having been argued. "Chiropractic" Attorney Schroeder is STILL not helping me stop OBs from closing birth canals and gruesomely manipulating most babies' spines at birth... Attention Calif. DCs: JUST THINK Calif. OBs can gruesomely manipulate babies' spines and sometimes sever spinal nerves - but under Schroeder's Rule 302 - Calif. DCs - who used to attend homebirths - explicitly can't sever umbilical cords! (Schroeder's Rule 302 is now being challenged in court in Tain et al. v State Board of Chiro Examiners. See Dorland's, URL below.) Key quotes... "Chiropractic Education...include[s]...OBSTETRICS..." --American Chiropractic Association/ACA Chairman James Edwards, DC and Cynthia Vaughn, DC http://www.jamesedwards.com/educate.htm (emphasis added) "Obstetrics is the art of midwifery...If the accoucheur is a Chiropractor, he can adjust...thereby preventing disease." --Dr. DD Palmer, Founder of Chiropractic [1910:789] I personally think autonomous homebirth midwifery licensure is the way to go... Chiropractors don't need to attend births to prevent disease - to stop OBs from closing birth canals! MY DEFINITION OF CHIROPRACTIC ("a science of applied neurophysiologic diagnosis") appears in three editions of Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary [1988, 1994, 2000]... See Dorland's: Preventing VS by educating OBs (also: New defn of chiro in Dorland's) http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2318 END excerpt of What is Erb's?/Dr. Hein on Erb's & Gherman/Erb's class action http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2349 Readers, Brenda's Original Message is below... Brenda forgot to mention the name of the source - Dynamic Chiropractic. Schroeder has done legal work for Dynamic Chiropractic publisher Donald Petersen.... Please note that Schroeder's Rule 302 isn't mentioned anywhere in the article - but Schroeder's Rule 302 and my complaints about it were the subject of the libel lawsuit! Dynamic Chiropractic/Petersen also isn't covering the Tain et al. challenge to Schroeder's Rule 302 - at least I haven't seen any coverage yet.... I think I was sued by Schroeder to shut me up about the obvious obstetric crime and the fact that Schroeder's Rule 302 - if enforced - stops DCs from thinking about birth... Again, Schroeder's Rule 302 explicitly prohibits Calif. DCs - who used to attend homebirths - from so much as severing the umbilical cord! Bottomline, MDs can close birth canals gruesomely manipulate most babies' spines - and sometimes sever spinal NERVES - and DCs can't even sever *umbilical cords*!? As noted above, a man calling himself Michael Schroeder, attorney for the Calif. Chiro Board of Examiners, told me it was outside my scope of practice to tell pregnant women that MDs are closing birth canals. Obviously, I think the two Schroeders are the same man - but I have no proof. Similar to Schroeder, I think Brenda is trying to cover up the fact that Dr. Nath is remaining silent about obvious obstetric crime... Again, I have no proof regarding Brenda either - but she never answered my reply to her "response" at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/2359 All Brenda has done is post the article below and say, "Just found this, interesting?" I find THAT interesting. Thanks for reading, Sincerely, Todd Dr. Gastaldo ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike and Brenda Moore To: Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2004 8:13 AM Subject: The Cost of Voicing Opinions on the Internet Just found this, interesting? The Cost of Voicing "Opinions" on the Internet ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Court Orders DC to Pay $25,000 in Damages The internet is a marvel. It allows people everywhere to enter chat rooms, bulletin boards and list servers and "speak one's mind." While there is a certain feeling of anonymity and an "anything goes" atmosphere in the cyber realm, it is an environment where one comment on a single email can, for instance, be replicated and re-emailed to a few people or even millions of people around the world in seconds. This revolutionary technology is taking free speech to a new level. Yes, you can say anything you want on the internet, but just as in any other context of communicating with our fellow terrestrials, you may pay the consequences for what you say. What some people apparently are failing to comprehend is that presenting your opinions in a chat room, on a bulletin board or an email list is not like shooting the breeze with friends or new acquaintances at a party. Everything displayed on any aspect of the Web is documented, recorded and reproducible. It is the electronic equivalent of publishing, not talking. All of the liabilities of slander and defamation are in full force. Todd Gastaldo,DC, just learned that lesson the hard way. Dr. Gastaldo made comments about Michael Schroeder, an attorney who worked for the California Chiropractic Association. Apparently assuming he was safe to say anything on the Web, Dr. Gastaldo made this comment on Chiro-List, a chiropractic email discussion list: "...Mr. Schroeder bilked $800,000 in DC licensing fees when he jumped from CCA to the Chiro. Licensing Board..." Legally, slander of someone's trade or business carries with it damages that are assumed by the court. As an attorney, Mr. Schroeder knew Dr. Gastaldo's false comments were actionable. He demanded a retraction and public apology. When Dr. Gastaldo did not meet that demand, Mr. Schroeder filed a lawsuit in California, initially seeking $500,000 in compensatory damages, and later requesting an additional $500,000 in punitive damages. Dr. Gastaldo, a resident of Oregon, asked the court to move the venue to Oregon "to make for the fairest trial possible." The venue question was interesting because of the global aspect of the internet. The judge reasoned that because the comments were made on a chiropractic discussion list, and at least twice as many chiropractors live in California than in any other state in the country, that California was the appropriate venue for the trial. Not successful in getting the trial moved to Oregon, Dr. Gastaldo simply failed to respond to the lawsuit. This gave Mr. Schroeder a victory by default, although Mr. Schroeder still had to demonstrate to the court that he had suffered damages. Perhaps the only good news for Dr. Gastaldo is the challenge the court faced in determining who and how many people read the comment, whether on the post or via email. On January 5, 2000, Mr. Schroeder was awarded $25,000 in damages (that's almost $1,400 per word of Dr. Gastaldo's defamatory comment), plus court costs of $192. Now begins the process of filing the judgment in Oregon in order to have the right to recover his damages. Once Mr. Schroeder does that, he can seek damages from Dr. Gastaldo's bank accounts, put liens on any real property (such as his home), and garnish his wages until the $25,192 judgment is paid in full. We don't image that this case is the first lawsuit against a DC spawned by comments made on the Web, but it should help remind doctors who post messages and sent emails that the liabilities are quite real. There are at least two ways to protect yourself. Discuss issues, not people. And if you want to talk about people, purchase a minimum of $5 million of liability insurance specifically for the internet I'll copy this to Dynamic Chiropractic publisher Don Petersen, Jr via This post - Chiros ignoring BPI crime - will be instantly archived for global access at: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2362 |
