Eric Plasker, DC: Think prevention please - do it for the babies...

ERIC PLASKER, DC just wrote in Terry Rondberg's Chiropractic Journal [Oct
2003;18(1):13]:

"The birth process...often is traumatic. The pulling and twisting on the
spine, the stretching of the neck...can...cause vertebral subluxations...Is
it okay to have that child...remain subluxated?"

ERIC PLASKER, DC wrote in 1997...

"Traumatic Birth Syndrome. What a clean, accurate way to describe the
vertebral subluxation complex as it results from the birth process. Every
mother on the planet would want to know about it."

Eric,

Think prevention please.

CHIROPRACTIC BIRTH EMERGENCY...

MDs are senselessly closing birth canals up to 30%.

MDs are gruesomely manipulating - pushing and pulling on the tiniest
spines - with birth canals senselessly closed up to 30%.

Some babies are dying... OBs are killing an estimated six babies per DAY
with vacuum-assisted spinal
manipulation alone - with birth canals senselessly closed up to 30%...

See USUAL MECHANISM (PS5) in my article, "Pregnant chiro patients: BIZARRE
chiro legislation - babies be damned..."
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/2135

MD-obstetricians CAUSE cephalopelvic disproportion (and failure to
progress) - then perform c-sections BEcause of cephalopelvic disproportion
(and failure to progress)!

Epidural pain relief is a godsend for some women - but why close birth
canals and make women beg for it?

MORE MD crime against mothers...

MDs are performing "generous" episiotomies when they use their vacuum
extractors and forceps...

MDs are performinig episiotomies - "generous" or otherwise - in MOST
births!

Stated more usefully, in most births MDs are routinely SLASHING VAGINAS -
surgically/FRAUDULENTLY inferring they are doing everything possible to OPEN
birth canals - even as they CLOSE birth canals - up to 30%!

PREGNANT WOMEN: You can allow your birth canal to OPEN the "extra" up to
30% - just roll onto your side - or use kneeling or hands-and-knees or stand
or squat - ANYTHING but semisitting or dorsal.

WARNINGS:

1. Most MD-obstetricians close the birth canal up to 30%^^^ even as they
acknowledge that closing the birth canal FAR LESS can kill.
2. Some MD-obstetricians will let you "try" "alternative" delivery positions
BUT they will move you back to dorsal or semisitting (close your birth canal
up to 30%!) for the actual delivery!

^^^NOTE: If the pubic arch is narrow, semisitting and dorsal likely close
the birth canal MORE than 30% in some women. According to Williams
Obstetrics [2001]:

"...With increasing narrowing
of the pubic arch, the occiput cannot emerge directly beneath the symphysis
pubis but is forced increasingly farther down...the ischiopubic rami. In
extreme cases, the head must rotate around a line joining the ischial
tuberosities [!] (p. 438)..."

PROOF that MDs know they are closing birth canals:

At my request, the authors of Williams Obstetrics *published*
"my" biomechanics - but they left in their text the "dorsal widens" bald lie
that first called my attention to their text.

Here are the biomechanics that were added at my request to Williams
Obstetrics:

"It should be noted...that the increase in the diameter of the
pelvic outlet occurs *only* if the sacrum is allowed to rotate
posteriorly..."
[1993:285, *italics* in original]

OBVIOUS NEGLIGENCE: The authors of Williams Obstetrics left in their text
(in the same paragraph!) the "dorsal widens" bald lie that first called my
attention to their text. For a discussion of other obvious obstetric
negligence - and how the 30% figure was radiographically derived - see
http://home1.gte.net/gastaldo/part2ftc.html. My thanks to Prof. Dr. Moyses
Paciornik, MD, Curitiba, Brazil, for calling my attention to this
chiropractic emergency. See the Paciornik and Gastaldo letters in Birth
[1992;19:230]

FURTHER proof that MDs know they are closing birth canals:

ACOG's shoulder dystocia video purports to show
MDs how to OPEN the birth canal maximally when the shoulders get stuck -
which of course is an indirect admission that MDs are indeed routinely
CLOSING birth canals...

Unfortunately, the ACOG method for opening the birth canal (PROPER
McRoberts) actually keeps it closed...

See IMPROPER McRoberts can save tiny lives and tiny limbs...
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/1308

(ACOG = Amercian College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists - the obstetric
trade union to which most MD-obstetricians belong.)

The massive MD crime is obvious.


PARDONS FOR MDs...

As always, 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.


ONE LAST NOTE...

MDs have blamed The Great Squat Robbery for their bizarre birth practice.

See Gardosi et al.'s 1989 Lancet "randomised controlled trial of
squatting" - where nobody squatted...

Stopping MDs from closing birth canals up to 30% could help stop Western
culture from robbing children of a fundamental human rest posture that just
happens to double - if it isn't robbed - as a fundamental human DELIVERY
posture - one that happens to OPEN the birth canal up to 30%...

Obstetric ramifications aside, Western culture is robbing children of a way
to take a rest on their feet!

See Sarah Key's huge balls (also: Kids can SQUAT motionless for
hours)...

CHIROPRACTORS: Please help stop MDs from closing birth canals: Help save
tiny lives and tiny limbs and PREVENT more vertebral subluxations than DCs
will ever be able to adjust by hand.

Thanks for reading,

Sincerely,

Dr. Gastaldo
