Babies, birth and spine care
BABIES, BIRTH AND SPINE CARE
See my Open Letter to BERNARD H. GUIOT, MD below. PREGNANT WOMEN: Standard delivery positions (semisitting and dorsal) close the birth canal up to 30%. Fortunately, SQUATTING allows the birth canal to OPEN the "extra" up to 30%. HAVE YOU LOST THE ABILITY TO EASILY SQUAT? No problem! LOTS of delivery positions allow the birth canal to open the "extra" up to 30%. (Side-lying, hands-and-knees, kneeling, standing, etc. all allow the birth canal to open the "extra" up to 30%.) See ACOG's 2005 edition: How NOT to birth http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/3606 BABIES, BIRTH AND SPINE CARE "[Bernard H. Guiot, MD]...focuses on all aspects of spine care...from the skull base to the sacrum." http://www.spineuniverse.com/mdpage.php?doctorID=3256 OPEN LETTER (archived for global access at http://groups.google.com) Bernard H. Guiot, MD Director of Spine Surgery Department of Neurosurgery University of South Florida Tampa, FL, USA (813) 259-0979 Via Also via Bernard, MD-obstetricians are not delivering good spine care. MD-obstetricians are closing birth canals up to 30%. MD-obstetricians are KEEPING birth canals closed the "extra" up to 30% when babies get stuck - as they pull with hands, forceps and vacuum extractors. MD-obstetricians sometimes pull so hard they rip spinal nerves out of tiny spinal cords - with birth canals senselessly closed the "extra" up to 30%. In discussing iatrogenic carotid artery injury, you (and Inamasu) mentioned chiropractic manipulation but failed to mention OBSTETRIC manipulation in your recent literature review of iatrogenic carotid artery injury. [Inamasu J, Guiot BH. Neurosurg Rev. 2005 Aug 10; Epub ahead of print/PubMed abstract] I agree (as you say) that "Prevention is the best treatment" and that "further accumulation of...knowledge of iatrogenic [carotid artery injury] will result in further reduction of this complication]." It seems likely that iatrogenic carotid artery injury following chiropractic manipulation is far less frequent than that following obstetric manipulation - since obstetricians wrench so many tiny spines and sometimes wrench them so hard they rip spinal nerves out of tiny spinal cords. Regardless, MD-obstetricians should not be closing birth canals the "extra" up to 30% - or keeping birth canals closed the "extra" up to 30% as they pull on tiny spines. Please help stop MD-obstetricians from closing birth canals the "extra" up to 30%. Prevention is indeed the best treatment. Perhaps you could write an article about the bizarre baby spine "care" offered by MD-obstetricians. Thank you. Sincerely, Todd Dr. Gastaldo Hillsboro, Oregon Copied to: Augustus A. White, III, MD, PhD Director of Spine Surgery, Harvard Via Copied to: All the other Spine Surgery Fellowship Residency Programs with email addresses listed at... http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:K...t_links/f-spn/ default.htm+bguiot%40hsc.usf.edu&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 ATTENTION AMERICAN SPINE SURGEONS BE ADVISED: You are cutting on the spines of adults who, as children, are being robbed of full use of their spines... See Falling over backwards in childbirth class - The Great Squat Robbery http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/3784 According to Guiot and Fessler [2000], the intervertebral disc undergoes observable morphological changes as it degenerates including "dehydration, fissuring, and tearing of the nucleus, annulus and endplates." Guiot and Fessler [2000] write further: "On the molecular level, degenerative changes include decreased diffusion, decreased cell viability, decreased proteoglycan synthesis, and alteration in collagen distribution." What if, after Fahrni [Orth Clin N Am 1975] chairdwellers are suffering ASYMMETRIC wear and tear on their discs and tears in the POSTERIOR annulus - because their culture isn't allowing them to load their discs evenly - as in flat-footed squatting? Since Guiot and Fessler write that the role of inflammatory mediators and growth factors "are under active investigation...[and]...may soon contribute significantly to our understanding of degenerative disc disease. [Guiot BH, Fessler RG. Neurosurgery. 2000 Nov;47(5):1034-40] IN THE MEANTIME... Maybe spine surgeons everywhere could call for an end to The Great Squat Robbery REGARDLESS whether (paraphrasing Guiot and Fessler) inflammatory mediators play a role in disc degeneration - regardless whether growth factors can delay or reverse the degenerative cascade? Maybe spine surgeons could do this when they publicly call upon MD-obstetricians to stop closing birth canals the "extra" up to 30%? Just a thought. Thanks for reading everyone. Sincerely, Todd Dr. Gastaldo Hillsboro, Oregon Well, OK, since people are still reading... : ) ANOTHER SIMPLE PREVENTION OPPORTUNITY Obstetricians are temporarily asphyxiating babies - forcing them to breathe through their lungs before they want - and in the process robbing babies of up to 50% of their blood volume. This is happening to EVERY CESAREAN BABY, according to retired obstetrician George Malcolm Morley, MB ChB FACOG. See again: ACOG's 2005 edition: How NOT to birth http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/3606 Keeping in mind that babies breathe through their umbilical cords, Dr. Morley is recommending a sort of temporary baby strangling experiment to help obstetricians understand that they shouldn't rob babies of massive amounts of blood... Here is Dr. Morley's temporary baby strangling experiment: "[T]he umbilical cord [is] immediately closed between finger and thumb...The [fetal heart rate/FHR] will decelerate quickly to about 60 bpm...the color will change from purple-pink (normal at birth) to pallid blue (vaso-constriction and asphyxia.)...Few midwives or obstetricians will be able to observe, without interference, a deep, prolonged FHR deceleration on a non-breathing newborn for a period of 60 seconds.* Common sense will soon release the finger and thumb." http://www.cordclamping.com/ac og-cp.htm PREGNANT WOMEN: To make sure your baby gets the "extra" up to 50% of blood volume, do not let the obstetrician or midwife clamp your baby's umbilical cord until it has stopped pulsating and your baby is pink and breathing and not in need of resuscitation. *Talk to your obstetrician or midwife today.
