Why My Baby II: Atty Schroeder's birth justice means 'Just Us' (MDs and attorneys covertly influencing UBPN?)
For SCHROEDER/UBPN stuff see below... (Key chiropractic obstetrician and
TAIN quotes at the very end of this post.) BABY PARALYZED? Send this post to your birth trauma attorney. Please copy me when you do. ATTORNEY FRAUD... See Birth trauma attorney [PAMELA PANTAGES] always right? http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2367 Attorney Pantages has not responded... I will copy her this post to at . MOTHERS OF PARALYZED BABIES: If your birth trauma attorney says something like OBs and CNMwives close birth canals up to 30% "because they think it helps" - please contact me immediately - you are dealing with obvious ATTORNEY FRAUD. (One woman - pseudonym Antoinette - just wrote to me and said her attorney told her that OBs knowingly close birth canals "because it helps." See ANTOINETTE! below.) PREGNANT WOMEN: OBs and CNMwives *are* closing birth canals up to 30% by using semisitting and dorsal delivery. Here's PROOF from The Merck Manual: "When shoulder dystocia occurs...the mother's thighs are hyperflexed to increase the diameter of the pelvic outlet..." http://www.merck.com/mrkshared/mmanu...er253/253g.jsp LADIES ASK YOURSELVES: WHY are OBs and CNMwives waiting until the head is out and shoulders get stuck before giving the baby maximum pelvic outlet diameter? WHY are we letting OBs and CNMwives force babies' heads through birth canals senselessly closed up to 30%? (An estimated 4.6% of "healthy" term babies suffer unexplained brain bleeds! And babies actually suffer DENTS in their skulls - "pingpong" skull fractures - though most of these dents/"pingpong" fractures pop out.) MOTHERS OF PARALYZED BABIES: There is a kicker: OBs and CNMwives are KEEPING birth canals closed when babies' shoulders get stuck! That's right! The Merck Manual method for opening the birth canal - like the ACOG method (see below) - KEEPS THE BIRTH CANAL CLOSED! For cites from the medical literature for the 30% figure (radiographically derived)... See Kitzinger and 28% vs 30% - was scared man here http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2369 UBPN BIRTH TRAUMA "JUSTICE"... UBPN is the United Brachial Plexus Network, a gathering of mostly mothers of birth-injured brachial plexus paralyzed babies. Mothers don't generally hear that OBs and CNMwives are knowingly closing birth canals up to 30% - not even after they wind up with a paralyzed child! WHY is UBPN silent on this point even after I told them about it years ago?! There HAS to be a conspiracy of silence between MD-obstetricians and attorneys - esp. birth trauma attorneys (Atty Les Weisbrod, URL below, you reading?)... As indicated above, one of these mothers, the pseudonymous Antoinette, just wrote to me and said: "I met w/my attorneys and asked about the birth canal being closed up knowingly. They said they do it because it helps. I do not think people are ready to except or believe this yet, or are willing to listen. I think that it is a rumor that doctors think this technique helps, either that or they are criminals. Anyways, keep it up and do what you know is right...." ANTOINETTE! This is obvious attorney fraud! Your attorneys are either stupid - or in collusion with MD-obstetricians who are indeed criminals! MD-obstetricians blame "large size" BABIES for their own birth injuries - even as they close birth canals/pelvises! It's not called cephaloPELVIC disproportion for nothing! UBPN CRAP: UBPN's "Shared Vision"... "[W]ork towards the PREVENTION of brachial plexus injuries." http://www.ubpn.org/ubpnweb.nsf/web/ubpninfo.html Yeah right... "CHIROPRACTIC" ATTORNEY MICHAEL J. SCHROEDER, FORMER CHAIRMAN OF THE CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN PARTY UBPN "moderators"/censors published an article about me getting sued for one million dollars by "chiropractic" Attorney Michael J. Schroeder, former Chairman of the California Republican Party. (When I was sued, I asked Atty Schroeder what it would take to make the lawsuit go away. He said he wanted $1000 dollars and my signature on papers which contained obvious lies. I refused to sign them - still have them. I spent $2500 trying to get the trial moved to Oregon where I could afford to defend myself. I lost on jurisdiction and Atty Schroeder was awarded a default judgement of $25,000 dollars.) ATTY SCHROEDER'S BIRTH JUSTICE... Attorney Michael J. Schroeder - via his Rule 302 (and legal defense thereof) - in effect helped 10 MD-obstetricians tell California chiropractors that they should not even THINK about telling pregnant women that MD-obstetricians are knowingly closing birth canals up to 30%... Years before I was sued by Attorney Schroeder, I personally was EXPLICITLY told (by a man calling himself Attorney Michael Schroeder of the Calif. Chiro Bd!) that it was outside my scope of practice to tell pregnant women that MD-obstetricians are knowingly closing birth canals up to 30%! (It was a telephone call - I cannot possibly know that this Atty Schroeder was the same Atty Schroeder who later sued me - but I strongly suspect it was.) As a consequence of that telephone call from the man calling himself Attorney Schroeder of the Calif. Chiro. Bd I stopped paying for my license to practice chiropractic. I thought: Why should I pay to be told I can't do what unlicensed, undegreed people CAN do? Besides, if I am successful in my unlicensed NON-SPINAL chiropractic adjusting here - I will have stimulated MOTHERS to save tiny lives and tiny limbs and PREVENT more vertebral subluxations than licensed DCs will ever be able to charge to adjust by hand. See LAWRENCE TAIN, DC/VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATION postscript below... Incidentally, I discussed the two (?) Atty Schroeders in my reply to the UBPN post about the Schroeder/Rule 302 lawsuit... UBPN "moderators"/censors CENSORED my reply! UBPN is CROOKED... UBPN may be an "attorney front" to CONCEAL the fact that obstetricians are knowingly closing birth canals. Why is there NOTHING about the obvious obstetric/CNMwifery birth crime on the UBPN website? UBPN may be CAUSING brachial plexus injuries - intentionally - via silence! Why ELSE would UBPN have ignored me years ago (see UBPN benefactor Atty Les Weisbrod in Why My Baby I, excerpt below)? Why else would UBPN be CENSORING me now? If UBPN had not ignored me years ago - many children might have been spared being paralyzed. At the very least UBPN could take my INFORMATION about OBs knowingly closing birth canals and post THAT. The following is my reply to the posting of the article about me and the Schroeder/Rule 302 matter... I copied the UBPN Board Members listed below - NO response yet. Here are their names again: UBPN Pres. Nancy Birk and her fellow board members: Cathy Kanter, Peggy Ferguson, Kim West, Sabrina Randolph, Jennifer Engelhardt, Krista Heikkinen, Richard Looby, Kathleen M. Mallozzi, Karen McClune and Tami Schenck I will copy them this post too. UBPN is CROOKED. BEGIN excerpt of Why my baby? Attorneys trolling bad births - GOOD...UBPN silence - BAD... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/2366 #### Former UBPN Outreach Editor Bridget McGinn was going to print an article by me a few years back - but it never happened. #### Subsequently, I emailed Bridget about bizarre silence of UBPN Outreach benefactor and star attorney Les Weisbrod... See Baby Attorney Les Weisbrod! (also: GASTALDO'S ABSTRACT edited/proofed) http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/1526 #### Never got a response from her - or from Les. Have you written to the AMA, or any political figures? ##### Yes and yes. For example, regarding AMA, search http://groups.google.com for Gastaldo, JAMA, RAMA ##### Regarding political figures - I wrote to a powerful CALIFORNIA (behind-the-scenes) political figure [the above mentioned ATTY MICHAEL J. SCHROEDER] See Tain, BPI and the Schroeder/Rule 302 matter http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2365 What kind of responses are getting about this issue? [ATTY SCHROEDER SUED ME FOR ONE MILLION DOLLARS; see below] ##### Silence mostly - and some INDIGNATION - like for example listowner Brenda Copeland-Moore's indignation (see below) at my assertion that it's 1) CHILD ABUSE for OBs to knowingly close birth canals and that it's 2) FAILURE TO REPORT child abuse for BPI surgeons like Rahul K. Nath, MD to fail to report it. #### NOTE: Rahul K. Nath, MD does pediatric surgery so maybe that makes him a pediatrician... #### One pediatrician wrote in 1986: "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] #### Rahul doesn't even say on his BPI web page that OBs are knowingly closing birth canals - even as he blames "large size" BABIES for their own birth injuries! http://www.drnathbrachialplexus.com/injury/children.asp ##### Does indignant Brenda - who posted ad hominem instead of replying - *really* think Rahul has reported the obvious obstetric crime as child abuse!? (Or maybe she doesn't think obstetricians knowingly closing birth canals should be reported as child abuse?) #### Indignant Brenda has censored me from her "unmoderated" list http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2368 #### I just looked - Indignant Brenda appears to be subscribed to chiro-list - which *IS* unmoderated... A DROWNING METAPHOR... At some point, parents loyal to fine surgeons [eg Indignant Brenda] have GOT to realize that surgeons saving babies from drowning are PERFECTLY positioned to stop obstetricians from pushing babies over the cliff upstream! ##### Brenda followed up her indignation with ad hominem attack which was duplicated over on UBPN [by Cathy Puley - who I am convinced innocently posted it because people have been slandering doctors]... See again: Tain, BPI and the Schroeder/Rule 302 matter http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2365 UBPN moderators/censors are STILL scrutinizing my "Tain, BPI/Schroeder/Rule 302" reply... On the same thread a a UBPN moderator/censor is flip-flopping on checking TRUTH... First UBPN Pres. Nancy Birk says she "cannot check" - CANNOT KNOW whether or not something said in a UBPN post is true (and therefore NOT defamation)... But THEN she says (in effect) that she CAN know the truth - that something *is* defamation - if she and her fellow moderators/censors think it is (!) - as in, "UBPN cannot check to determine if any statements made are true or untrue. We define slander, therefore, broadly, to encompass any defamation of character. Defamation as a legal term means statements that harm a person's standing in the community, and that may expose him/her to public contempt, hatred, ridicule or condemnation...Also our message board policy addresses the issue of the 'tone' o[f] messages, the way someone writes something. It should be done in a respecful manner and states that 'courteous and respectful posts are expected from all participants'." http://www.ubpn.org/messageboard/thr...17&thread=8700 http://lists.topica.com/lists/erbs/r...?mid=808783724 As noted above, I told UBPN YEARS ago that obstetricians are knowingly closing birth canals... Will someone please find a "respectful" way to say to UBPN (in an acceptable "tone") that obstetricians are closing birth canals and *UBPN* is STILL silent about this obvious obstetric crime! Will someone ask UBPN to put this right up front on the UBPN web page where OBs and parents (and attorneys) can see it? I'll copy the UBPN moderator/censor at Is anyone helping you? ##### Various people inquire - you for example - and that helps. ##### Also, some women report that they allowed their birth canals to open maximally because of me. That too helps. #### (One lady humorously said she "channeled" me during her delivery!) Do you have written documentation that would be valid in a [trial] for a bpi case? ##### Sorry to get E-motional here but - ARRRRGGGGGHHHHH - the written documentation has been in the medical literature since early last century! ##### OBs are KNOWINGLY closing birth canals! ##### I suggested in my Open Letter to Attorney Mancini that OBs HAVE to close birth canals because stopping would be tantamount to admitting a massive birth crime that sometimes kills or paralyzes babies. See again: Attorney looking for 'credible' OB/GYNs... http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2360 ##### I was SO pleased when Attorney Mancini responded - but now he's gone silent on the issue. #### I'm wondering whether Anthony checked his own stable of "credible" OB/GYNs (as I suggested he should) to see whether he had an OB/GYN brave enough to speak out and tell a jury that OB/GYNs are knowingly closing birth canals and KEEPING birth canals closed when shoulders get stuck. Anthony - you reading? ##### Attorney Mancini hasn't remarked regarding my post suggesting that MOTHERS could learn in 5 minutes how to show a jury how OBs are closing birth canals. See the end of: Tain, BPI and the Schroeder/Rule 302 matter http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2365 ATTORNEYS TROLLING BAD BIRTHS - GOOD!!! ##### I see Attorney Mancini and another BPI attorney (Ken Levine) are trolling for business on ... http://lists.topica.com/lists/erbs/r...?mid=808785409 NEGLIGENT DELIVERY TECHNIQUES? ##### Attorney Mancini just wrote to : "Your child's Brachial Plexus Injury may likely be the result of negligent delivery techniques employed by your doctor during your child's delivery..." http://lists.topica.com/lists/erbs/r...?mid=808783724 ##### OBs are ADMITTING (on video!) that they are closing birth canals up to 30% - and that's the best Attorney Mancini can do?!! #### Anthony, why not say: "If - like most women - you gave birth on your back or semisitting, your OB closed your birth canal up to 30%. OBs senselessly closing birth canals is obvious demonstrable negligence - quite relevant to causation of brachial plexus injury/BPI." #### Such a letter/email sent out by an ATTORNEY would be sure to get the attention of OBs and possibly stop some OBs from closing birth canals. ##### REMEMBER: The United Brachial Plexus Network (UBPN) says: "Brachial plexus injuries most often occur during the birthing process...as a result of excessive traction or force being applied to the infant's head during delivery." http://www.ubpn.org/ubpnweb.nsf/web/information.html ##### Why is there NOTHING on the UBPN website about obstetricians knowingly closing birth canals up to 30%? ##### Why is there nothing about obstetricians KEEPING the birth canal closed when shoulders get stuck? ##### I SAY AGAIN: I told UBPN about obstetricians knowingly closing birth canals YEARS ago. ##### UBPN's "Shared Vision" is to, "[W]ork towards the PREVENTION of brachial plexus injuries." http://www.ubpn.org/ubpnweb.nsf/web/ubpninfo.html ##### Babies are getting PARALYZED. Some are DYING. (Australian obstetrician Norman Beischer, MD has guessed that 10 to 15% of stillbirths were just fine right before delivery.) ##### If women don't hear my PREVENTION message BEFORE birth.... ##### At the very least they should hear it/see it on the UBPN website when they wind up with a paralyzed baby! ##### UBPN - with its stated Shared Vision of PREVENTION - should state right up front on the UBPN website that OBs are knowingly closing birth canals and KEEPING birth canals closed when shoulders get stuck... See again: ACOG birth crime video evidence http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2300 ##### BTW, *Brenda Copeland-Moore* - when she gets over her indignation - could say the same thing right up front at: http://lists.topica.com/lists/erbs ##### These are EASY things to do. Again, OBs are indirectly ADMITTING on video that they are closing birth canals! ##### Here is the same admission in The Merck Manual: "When shoulder dystocia occurs...the mother's thighs are hyperflexed to increase the diameter of the pelvic outlet..." http://www.merck.com/mrkshared/mmanu...er253/253g.jsp Note: Merely hyperflexing the mother's thighs is BAD McRoberts and does NOT increase the diameter of the pelvic outlet! See again: ACOG birth crime video evidence http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2300 #### Here are the simple grisly biomechanics of semisitting (and dorsal) delivery clearly stated more recently by Jason Gardosi, MD, director of the British National Health Service/NHS West Midlands Perinatal Institute/WMPI... "...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..." http://www.wmpi.net/reviews/oe/oe_shoulder_dystocia.htm #### Jason Gardosi, MD also notes - same site - an alternative method of GOOD McRoberts. Cool! #### The strange thing is - Jason Gardosi, MD et al. also recommend semisitting delivery (closing birth canal)!!! #### Visitors to the just cited WMPI website read in WMPI's Pregnancy Notes "The second stage...You might want to remain in bed with your back propped up with pillows...As you push, try to let yourself 'open up' below..." http://www.preg.info/book/chapter11.htm ##### Thanks for writing again, Allison... #### Sincerely, ##### Todd ##### Dr. Gastaldo ) #### Copied to UBPN Pres. Nancy Birk and her fellow board members: Cathy Kanter, Peggy Ferguson, Kim West, Sabrina Randolph, Jennifer Engelhardt, Krista Heikkinen, Richard Looby, Kathleen M. Mallozzi, Karen McClune and Tami Schenck END excerpt of Why my baby? Attorneys trolling bad births - GOOD...UBPN silence - BAD... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/2366 Sorry to be repetitive but MD and CNMwives are repetively closing birth canals! The Dynamic Chiropractic/Petersen article that Cathy Puley posted to UBPN about me is EXTREMELY relevant to BPI... Schroeder in effect helped 10 MD-obstetricians attempt to shut Calif. chiros up about the birth crime! Years before Schroeder sued me, a man calling himself Schroeder, attorney for the Calif. Bd of Chiro Examiners told me it was not with in my scope of practice to tell pregnant women that OBs are knowingly closing birth canals! I can't prove that the two Schroeders are the same - but it sure seems likely. For details, see... Tain, BPI and the Schroeder/Rule 302 matter http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2365 Attorney Schroeder HAS his default judgement, WHY is he ignoring the birth crime? As I said on my subject line: CHIROS: Atty Schroeder's birth justice means 'Just Us' (MDs and attorneys covertly influencing UBPN?) I'll copy this to Atty Schroeder via Don Petersen, editor of Dynamic Chiropractic at Thanks for reading everyone. Sincerely, Todd Dr. Gastaldo PS LAWRENCE TAIN, DC (Tain et al. plaintiff) says newborns can have VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATIONS: Do children need chiropractic care? Since significant spinal trauma can occur at birth, many parents have their newborns immediately checked for vertebral subluxation. Naturally, chiropractic adjusting procedures are adapted for the child's spine. Many childhood health complaints that are brushed off can be traced to the spine. Health problems that emerge in adulthood could often be prevented by having your children's spine checked by a chiropractor early. Most parents report that their children enjoy their chiropractic adjustments and are healthier than their peers. http://www.chiropractic-doctors.us/L...ropractor.html Dr. Tain is right - significant spinal trauma CAN occur at birth - and parents of brachial plexus injured/BPI children know this best. JUST THINK As a consequence of Schroeder/Rule 302, Calif. MDs can close birth canals up to 30%, gruesomely manipulate most babies' spines - sometimes sever NERVES - and Calif DCs - who used to attend homebirths - can't even sever UMBILICAL CORDS! NOTE: My preference would be for independent midwives to come back. But if California's independent midwifery law (eliminated in 1993) is never restored - I think the Tain et al. lawsuit is the only hope for independent midwifery in California. Such midwives would be DCs - but they would be independent of medicine...which is crucial. [Which brings to mind the important question: Is chiropractic independent of medicine? The chiro silence about MDs closing birth canals and gruesomely manipulating most babies' spines indicates that chiropractors are either part of the silent conspiracy between attorneys and MDs - or they fear them - or both.] 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] Chiropractors don't need to attend births to prevent disease - to stop OBs from closing birth canals! BTW, 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 I diagnosed the obstetric cause of many birth problems by applying neurophysiology: I saw that some babies nerves weren't conducting after OBs pulled on their spines. I "looked to the spine" as chiros often do - that is - I looked to the MOTHER'S spine - and saw OBs knowingly denying massive amounts of sacroiliac motion. I started administering NON-SPINAL (educational) chiropractic adjustments - telling pregnant women that OBs were knowingly closing birth canals. Which brings me back to... ATTY SCHROEDER'S BIRTH JUSTICE... THE CHILDBIRTH ISSUES IN CALIFORNIA... Randi (who I think is due any day now) just wrote: "you know, todd, i work for a chiropractor who is originally from california. he became licensed after the childbirth issues in CA..." http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...40adelphia.com Doctors of chiropractic in California attended thousands of homebirths and then... In the late 80s early 90s Attorney Michael J. Schroeder - via his Rule 302 (and legal defense thereof) - in effect helped 10 MD-obstetricians tell California chiropractors that they should not even THINK about telling pregnant women that MD-obstetricians are knowingly closing birth canals up to 30%... I was sued by Attorney Schroeder in the late 90s - but in the early 90s I personally was EXPLICITLY told (by a man calling himself Attorney Michael Schroeder of the Calif.

(It was a telephone call - I cannot possibly know that this Atty Schroeder was the same Atty Schroeder who later sued me - but I strongly suspect it was.) As a consequence of that telephone call from the man calling himself Attorney Schroeder of the Calif. Chiro. Bd I stopped paying for my license to practice chiropractic.

OBs and CNMwives are knowingly closing birth canals and GRUESOMELY manipulating most babies' spines! WHERE are my chiropractic colleagues on this one!? Where is "chiropractic" Attorney Schroeder? Where is the American Academy of Spine Physicians/AASP (chiropractic physicians and neurosurgeons)? NOTE: I was pleased when AASP member Ed Cremata, DC asked to be put back ON my mailing list after receivinig the following... See 'Floppy babies' and AASP (and MD Manipulation Under Anesthesia) http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2222 Again, thanks for reading everyone. Sincerely, Todd Dr. Gastaldo PS Randi (quoted above) also writes regarding BACK PAIN in her pregnancy: "i didn't start treatment with him until after DD2 [dear daughter 2] was born, but since i've worked there through this pregnancy and been able to be adjusted whenever i need it, it has made a world of difference in the sciatica and low back pain i experienced last time. i've seen a chiropractor for about 16 years now, but no one ever told me to see one while i was pregnant, and it simply amazes me that even my own OB's say that [sciatica and low back pain are] just something you have to live with and everyone goes through it. http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...40adelphia.com For the key chiropractic obstetrician TAIN quotes, scroll up a little...
