CAM: Pediatricians practice it all the time!
CAM: PEDIATRICIANS PRACTICE IT ALL THE TIME!
CAM = Complementary and Alternative Medicine (unproven) CAM (unproven therapy) as practiced by MDs is mostly CRIMINAL CAM... See Pediatrician 'ethics' (Attn: Gesundheit et al.) http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2908 More below... "Alexandra Smith" wrote in message om... I was shocked to discover that even though pediatricians admitted that 87% of their patients asked about alternative therapies, they were not even willing to discuss this subject with them. See "Pediatricians Avoid Alternative Medicine Discussions" at http://health.dailynewscentral.net. I thought it was just my problem in not being able to find the "right" doctor, but it looks like I'm not alone. The doctors are just not talking about this issue. Yet they always seem happy to go to their locked closet and pull out more new prescription drug samples to try out. In my experience, doctors are highly critical when patients take it upon themselves to make their own medical decisions. But if they keep pushing pharmaceuticals and are unwilling to discuss alternative options that everyone knows are out there, what's a patient to do? Alex Alex, Organized medicine was mostly quackery all along. Organized medicine's strategy was to distract people from this fact by calling everyone ELSE quacks. Organized medicine changed. Organized medicine is "making nice" now... Organized medicine now calls the unproven practices of other quacks "complementary and alternative medicine" (CAM)... Officially, organized medicine still doesn't practice quackery ("CAM"/unproven)... In truth, MOST of what organized medicine does is quackery ("CAM"/unproven).... Worse, organized medicine practices *obviously criminal* CAM quackery... See Criminal medical CAM at Hawai'i's John A Burns School of Medicine http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2256 Todd Dr. Gastaldo PS Here's the PubMed abstract from the article in Ambulatory Pediatrics mentioned in the article you quoted... My comments are interspersed ##### Ambul Pediatr. 2004 Nov;4(6):482-487. PubMed abstract Pediatricians' Recommendations for Complementary and Alternative Medical (CAM) Therapies. Kemper KJ, O'connor KG. From Pediatrics; Public Health Sciences; Family and Community Medicine (Dr Kemper), Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, NC; and the Division of Health Policy Research (Ms O'Connor), American Academy of Pediatrics, Elk Grove Village, Ill. ##### I've written to co-author Kathi J. Kemper, MD about the CAM game she is still pushing... See Subluxated thinking of Kathi Kemper, MD... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/1209 #### I'll cc Kathi this post via Objectives.-Increasing numbers of children use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The purpose of this project was to assess pediatricians' attitudes and recommendations regarding CAM.Methods.-This was a national survey sent to a random sample of active members of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). The survey was 8 pages long and included questions on demographic and practice characteristics, attitudes about CAM, and 3 clinical vignettes asking what therapies physicians recommended in these situations.Results.-The 745 eligible respondents were demographically similar to the national AAP membership. Most (87%) had been asked about CAM by a patient/parent in the 3 months prior to the survey and 34% said they or an immediate family member had used CAM in the past year. Most (66%) believed that CAM therapies could enhance recovery or relieve symptoms, but even more were concerned about possible side effects (75%) or that CAM use might delay mainstream care (74%). #### Most CAM (unproven therapy) *IS* mainstream medical care. See again: Criminal medical CAM at Hawai'i's John A Burns School of Medicine http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2256 Only 20% routinely asked patients/parents about their use of herbs, and fewer asked about other CAM therapies. Fewer than 5% felt very knowledgeable about individual CAM therapies. #### LOL! MDs *used* to say they weren't knowledgeable about QUACK therapies - even as the PRACTICED quack therapies! The new "nice" "name game" is to call other people's quackery "CAM" - and pretend that MDs don't practice it... For the clinical vignettes, pediatricians were far more likely to recommend medications than any CAM therapy. #### More of the same game: Many medications ARE complementary and alternative medicine/CAM (unproven). Over 80% of pediatricians desired additional information on CAM; the highest priorities were information about herbs, dietary supplements, nutritional therapies, and therapeutic exercise. ##### The statement should read: "Over 80% of MD-pediatrician CAM providers desired additional information on OTHER providers of CAM." Conclusions.-Pediatricians recognize that many patients are interested in using CAM therapies, but do not feel comfortable discussing or recommending CAM therapies. Pediatricians are very interested in learning more about CAM. ###### LOL! (again)... Pediatricians ARE interested in using CAM (unproven) therapies - they use the3m all the time - indeed - pediatricians LIED ("babies can't feel pain") to perpetuate American medicine's grisly most frequent surgical CAM therapy on males... See Pediatrician 'ethics' (Attn: Gesundheit et al.) http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2908 #### In 2000, American MDs finally admitted that babies can feel pain. They "clarifed": Babies can't VERBALIZE their pain. American MDs still haven't retracted (and apologized for) their phony "babies can't feel pain" neurology - which (incidentally) they used again in 2000 to "explain" why babies struggle when strapped down for routine partial penis amputation. See MD prison terms and infant penises... http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2931 ##### Pediatricians PRACTICE complementary and alternative medicine/CAM - criminally so. ##### As always, I am in favor of pardons in advance for MDs. MDs are just academic prime cuts forced through our culture's most powerful mental meatgrinder - medical school. ##### As medical students, MDs are TRAINED to perform criminal CAM procedures.

PART of the "alternative medicine" approach to seizures is PREVENTION.... MDs and DCs alike are interested in prevention - or should be.... The pediatrician can practice this part of "alternative medicine" right there in the maternity hospital (assuming he is affiliated with one)...

See Make birth better: Dan Rather, before you leave CBS... http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2983 Pediatricians can also inform pregnant women: PREGNANT WOMEN: To allow your birth canal to OPEN the "extra" up to 30% - just roll onto your side as you push your baby out. BEWARE THOUGH: Some OBs and CNMwives will let you "try" alternative delivery positions but will move you to semisitting/dorsal (close your birth canal up to 30%) for the actual delivery.

Mark Lowry, III, MD is a pediatrician...
Mark understandably trivializes his profession's mass child abuse. He is a professional coward. He places professional health above the health of the babies for whom he is supposed to advocate. Mark once publicly called for the murder-by-rape of a man convicted of killing his son - yet he trivializes "nice" rapes by his fellow MDs. Rape - sexual assault - is defined as unnecessary penetration of a sexual orifice. Mark's fellow MDs are penetrating then SLICING OFF sexual orifices in American medicine's most frequent surgical behavior toward males. Mark's fellow MDs are penetrating - then slicing - then sewing up - sexual orifices in American medicine's most frequent surgical behavior toward females. Mark's fellow MDs thus surgically/fraudulently infer they are doing everything possible to OPEN birth canals - as they close birth canals up to 30% - see URLs below. Mark is a professional coward. He places professional health above the health of the babies for whom he is supposed to advocate. Further remarks interspersed below... Mark Lowry, III, MD "Mark" wrote in message m...

Even for a chiropractor, you are a colossal joke. LOL! The colossal joke is "medical science"...it's a sordid joke - a colossal criminal enterprise - see above. I know a number of chiros; some are quacks, some are "true believers", some consider themselves well-paid physical therapists, some are my friends... Count me with the "true believer" chiros. I know there is no scientific evidence that vertebral subluxations exist and cause disease and stop causing disease when adjusted - but I truly believe vertebral subluxations DO exist, etc. Even if spinal adjusting is "just" a placebo - some incredible things happen following spinal adjusting. Fortunately, chiropractic includes NON-SPINAL adjustment of obvious non-spinal subluxations - the medical lies that perpetuate the spectacle of MDs behaving as classic vertebral subluxations at birth - pinching and stretching nerves. How very bizarre that Pediatrician Mark is silent about OBs closing birth canals up to 30% and keeping birth canals closed when babies get stuck - and lying about it. snip Thanks for reading, Mark.

BRIS VS. ROUTINE INFANT CIRCUMCISION
Observant Jews sincerely believe partial penile amputation is the "primal commandment" of their God. Because of this, I don't think ritual infant circumcision - Jewish or American medical - will ever end. It might be possible to end the TOTAL foreskin amputation if enough parents are informed. So I write... Kingoff wrote: I've been to many a bris...I'll wager I've (reluctantly) witnessed more circumcisions than you have or ever will. I've never seen anything like what you describe. I am referring primarily to ROUTINE infant circumcision which causes INFANT SCREAMS. Nurses and MDs call it "barbaric." See the quotes below. Some infants gasp and go unconscious. I have heard that anesthesia is now being used in more and more routine infant circumcisions; but one cannot render mass MD child abuse legal by performing it under anesthesia. BRIS... The ancient Jewish ritual reportedly commanded by God leaves most of the foreskin on the penis. Ancient rabbis (mortals) reportedly changed to total amputation when ancient Jews began stretching their foreskins to appear uncircumcised... According to The Jewish Encyclopedia [1901]: "In order to prevent the obliteration of the "seal of the covenant"...the Rabbis, probably after the war of Bar Kokba (see Yeb. l.c.; Gen. R. xivi.), instituted the 'peri'ah' (the laying bare of the glans), without which circumcision was declared to be of no value (Shab. xxx. 6)." [See Circumcision in Singer I (and 400 others, eds.) The Jewish Encyclopedia. New York: Ktav 1901.] "Thenceforward [total foreskin amputation - the laying bare of the glans] was the mark of Jewish loyalty." [See Circumcision in Singer I (and 400 others, eds.), 1901] The modern Jewish ritual is TOTAL foreskin amputation - just like the American medical religion's most frequent surgical behavior. I am in favor of an exemption from the child abuse laws for the ancient Jewish ritual that leaves most of the foreskin on the penis. I recently noted that observant Jews are OBLIGATED to amputate infant foreskin tips - and they are obligated to do it themselves if a ritual circumciser/mohel cannot be found. It is fortunate that the ancient Jewish ritual commanded by God is simple and swift... See Infant penises: Rip and slice vs. Slice and rip http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/3022 TOTAL foreskin amputation though should end - whether it is performed by Jewish circumcisers (mohelim) or circumcisers in the American medical religion (MDs). "One-half to one-third of the skin on the...penile shaft is sliced off." http://www.infocirc.org/MensHlth.htm (paraphrasing Ronald Goldman, PhD, author of Circumcision: The Hidden Trauma) "The average circumcision cuts off what would grow into about 12 square inches of sexually sensitive skin." http://www.infocirc.org/MensHlth.htm (quoting Ronald Goldman, PhD, author of Circumcision: The Hidden Trauma) IMPORTANT QUESTION: Why would religious authorities advocate amputation of far more foreskin than the Jewish God reportedly commanded? Further regarding the ROUTINE total amputation performed by the American medical religion... ROUTINE INFANT CIRCUMCISION... Here's the relevant history - again... In late 1987, I called attention to the spectacle of the American Academy of Pediatrics/AAP perpetuating the phony "babies can't feel pain" neurology that MDs had long-used to "inform" parents deciding whether to have their babies' foreskins amputated. I called for an immediate end to the mass MD child abuse for profit scheme and for religious exemptions for Jews. (I am still in favor of a religious exemption for Jews - for the ancient tradition that leaves most of the foreskin on the penis. See Pediatrician 'ethics' (Attn: Gesundheit et al.) http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2908.) In the January 1988 issue of Pediatrics, the AAP came out against ALL religious exemptions. In the February 1988 issue of Pediatrics, the AAP came out for anonymity of PERPETRATORS of child abuse. In March 1988, the California Medical Association/CMA ignored its own Scientific Board and instantly created "an effective public health measure" out of "no medical indications" routine infant circumcision. By voice vote of the CMA House of Delegates, routine infant circumcision suddenly prevented transmission of HIV/AIDS - even though - just months previous - the CMA's own Scientific Board rejected that very proposal. Weeks later, the American Academy Pediatrics apppointed a Task Force on Circumcision that elicited a year of pro-circumcision headlines that were so compelling that when the Task Force finally decided that there still weren't any medical indications - pediatricians had to be informed that AAP had not changed its position. Of course, the 1989 report of the AAP Task Force on Circumcision failed to mention that the CMA had declared the mass child abuse "an effective public health measure" after the CMA's own Scientific Board rejected that proposal. To their credit, American pediatricians ultimately didn't abuse science - but they did take action that perpetuated (and perpetuates) mass child abuse in America. American pediatricians who perform routine infant circumcisions violate their own ethics every day: "[T]he pediatrician's responsibilities to his or her patient exist independent of parental desires... "...A[n infant's screaming writhing and bleeding obviously constitutes the - TDG] patient's reluctance or refusal to assent [and - TDG] should...carry considerable weight when the proposed intervention is not essential to his or her welfare and/or can be deferred without substantial risk... "[T]hose who care for children need to provide for measures to solicit assent and to attend to possible abuses of 'raw' power over children when ethical conflicts occur." AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS Informed Consent, Parental Permission, and Assent in Pediatric Practice(RE9510) Pediatrics Volume 95, Number 2 February, 1995, p. 314-317 http://www.aap.org/policy/00662.html INFANT SCREAMS... Here two nurses discussed the screams... "After years of strapping babies down for this brutal procedure and listening to their screams, we couldn't take it any longer." [Sperlich BK, Conant M. Am J Nurs (Jun)1994:16. http://www.cirp.org/nrc/] Here's a nurse calling it "barbaric"... "Nursing alert...[N]urses must consider their participation in a surgical procedure that involves no anesthesia to be a barbaric practice." (p. 205) Donna L. Wong's Essentials of Pediatric Nursing [1997] Here's an MD calling it "barbaric"... "[S]till all too often barbaric...[M.D.s]...would never allow older children or adults to be subjected to such practices, nor would they submit to it themselves..." [Veteran circumcision cheerleader Colonel Thomas E. Wiswell, MD in article in the April 24, 1997 New England Journal of Medicine] In 1980, one pediatrician wrote: "[Routine infant circumcision] constitutes child abuse...an acknowledged hazard to health." [Michael Katz, MD: Letter. AJDC, 1980] In 1986, another wrote: "What a terrible indictment...guilty of failing those for whom we have chosen to be advocates." [Finkel KC: The failure to report child abuse. AJDC, 1986;140:329-330] It is simply wrong to rip and slice infant penises - and MDs know it... FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH: MDs are powerful cultural authorities who can legally commit felonies. See SLAPP: How MDs get away with grisly felonies: Censor Bob Dubin, DC and the Schroeder-SLAPP-censored chirolist http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2959 Again quoting Kingoff... I've been to many a bris...I'll wager I've (reluctantly) witnessed more circumcisions than you have or ever will. I've never seen anything like what you describe. TOTAL amputation should end. Nurses and MDs have called it "barbaric." See INFANT SCREAMS above. One cannot render child abuse legal by performing it under anesthesia. Again, I am in favor of a religious exemption from the child abuse laws for the ancient Jewish ritual that leaves most of the foreskin on the infant's penis. Whereas Kingoff "reluctantly" witnessed partial penile amputation rituals... Many observant Jews regard the ritual as a joyous occasion - something to LOOK FORWARD TO... Observant Jews sincerely believe the partial penile amputation is the "primal commandment" of their God. Because of this, I don't think ritual infant circumcision - Jewish or American medical - will ever end. It might be possible to end the TOTAL amputation if enough parents are informed.

The nurse who is helping me with my PND is an RN, Midwife and she did post grad work to become a Maternal & Child Health Nurse. Nurse really care about people. In the case of nursing, it is usually the one or two bad ones that give the rest of them a bad name. The good ones far outweigh the bad. I have a great respect for nurses. When you go into hospital, it will be a nurse who is taking care of you. They will be the ones that make sure you get your meds on time. They will be ones who will help bathe and feed you, if you are unable. They are ones that will offer comfort when you are alone and crying. I always told my mom that nurses were in many ways just like mothers, only with more professional training. My mother responded back with, "Well, you aren't a real mother or a nurse until you have been bled, puked and peed on." -- Daye Mommy to: DD - age 3 DS - under 1 |
