EPIDURAL HORROR: Gruesome cascade to oxytocin, c-sections, forceps and 'generous' episiotomies...
Attention Sarah Key, Australian physiotherapist to HRH the Prince of Wales,
please see PS2 below. First this.. Epidurals are a pain relief blessing - but there are *major* risks... EPIDURAL HORROR... I have retitled an article by Sarah J. Buckley, MD. See my Open Letter to her below. PART of the epidural horror is mass vagina slashing by MDs... PREGNANT WOMEN: Help protect your VAGINA by helping to protect your BABY'S BRAIN at birth... Sounds crazy but... MDs are slashing vaginas en masse - surgically/FRAUDULENTLY inferring they are doing everything possible to OPEN birth canals even as they CLOSE birth canals - up to 30%. It's EASY to open your birth canal the "extra" up to 30% - just roll onto your side as you push your baby out - but see WARNING, WARNING, WARNING at the very end of this post. NOTE: I'm NOT saying here that allowing your birth canal to open maximally will prevent ALL vaginal tears - intentional or unintentional. Sometimes vaginas tear - and tear badly - regardless of birth position. Rather, I am saying two things,: 1) it is OBVIOUSLY CRIMINAL for MDs to close birth canals; and 2) this massive MD birth crime - closing birth canals - is only worsened when MDs slash vaginas and FRAUDULENTLY claim they are doing everything possible to open birth canals. Michael C. Klein, MD writes: "I think it is important to recognize that episiotomy is a deliberate second degree tear." [Birth. Letter. 2002;29(1):74] It is important for all women to recognize that the vast majority of episiotomies are OBVIOUSLY CRIMINAL deliberate second degree tears "performed" by extremely nice criminals called MDs. 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. Onward to... SARAH J. BUCKLEY, MD... Sarah J. Buckley, MD left out the KEY birth-canal-closing fact in writing about the epidemic of EPIDURAL HORROR; so I've added the key fact in caps... "In a conventional epidural, a dose of local anaesthetic is injected through the lower back into the epidural space, around the spinal cord. This numbs the nerves which bring sensation from the uterus and birth canal. Unfortunately, the local anaesthetic also numbs the nerves which control the pelvic muscles and legs, so with this type of epidural, a woman usually cannot move her legs...[SO SHE IS PLACED ON HER BACK THEREBY CLOSING HER BIRTH CANAL UP TO 30% - TDG]...[u]nless the epidural has worn off, [she] cannot push her baby out, in the second stage of labour...An epidural will often slow a woman's labour, and she is three times more likely to be given an oxytocin drip to speed things up...The second stage of labour is particularly slowed, leading to a three times increased chance of forceps...Women having their first baby are particularly affected; choosing an epidural can reduce their chance of a normal delivery to less than 50%...This slowing of labour is at least partly related to the effect of the epidural on a woman's pelvic floor muscles. These muscles guide the baby's head so that it enters the...[SENSELESSLY CLOSED BIRTH CANAL - TDG] in the best position. When these muscles are not working, dystocia, or poor progress, may result, leading to the need for high forceps to turn the baby, or a caesarean section. Having an epidural doubles a woman's chance of having a caesarean section for dystocia...When forceps are used, or if there is a concern that the second stage is too long, a woman may be given an episiotomy, where the perineum, or tissues between the vaginal entrance and anus, are cut to enlarge the outlet and hurry the birth..." --EPIDURAL HORROR (retitled by Gastaldo) by Sarah J. Buckley, MD ) http://www.maternitycoalition.org.au...epidurals.html http://www.womenofspirit.asn.au/docs...real_risks.txt This OPEN LETTER will be instantly archived for global access at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/2086 Sarah J. Buckley, MD Brisbane AUSTRALIA Sarah, Since most epidurals involve the MD (or MB) closing the birth canal... Since you left out this fact... Your essay, "Epidurals - real risks for mother and baby," first published in Australia's Parents magazine, Aug/Sept 1998, as "All about epidurals" - obviously needed to be further retitled EPIDURAL HORROR You say that people may copy and circulate your essay (that I have retitled EPIDURAL HORROR) - as long as you are "acknowledged as author." http://www.womenofspirit.asn.au/docs...real_risks.txt I hope that you will retitle your essay EPIDURAL HORROR in the process of adding to it the key fact I have brought to your attention - MDs are stupidly closing birth canals. Please encourage people to copy and circulate EPIDURAL HORROR to all medical licensing boards. Thanks, Todd Dr. Gastaldo PS1 Readers: I mentioned above that the epidural horror is EPIDEMIC because Sarah writes that Dr Steve Chester, Head of Anaesthetics Dept, Royal Women's Hospital/RWH, Melbourne says that around 45% of first-time mothers at RWH have an epidural. Of course, far more than 45% of ALL women are getting their birth canals closed by MDs and MBs - and the midwives who ape them. Canadian Grandma Donna Young has just asked me (copied to Sarah Buckley): "Will you voice your knowledge for the use of Natural Birth Education, on the position of birth [?] "Sarah lives in Brisbane Australia...writing a guide to natural birth, due for publication in 2004/5." http://www.womenofspirit.asn.au/sarahjbuckley.html#top Sarah, hopefully, you will be able to report in your 2004/5 guide to natural birth that MDs and midwives everywhere have stopped closing birth canals at delivery. Donna, please ask Sarah to retitle her essay and include the epidural horror of MDs senselessly closing birth canals. Copied to: Maternity Coalition, Inc.

Sarah, I like a good physiotherapy lecture as well as the next guy, but I don't remember learning (or saying) that squatting induces "distraction of the basal spinal segments" or is a "means of keeping the discs hydrated..." My understanding (via Adams, Dolan and Hutton; see below) is that squatting does exactly the opposite of what you claim. Squatting compresses and dehydrates lumbar discs. I hope you will correct me if you believe me to be wrong. You concluded: "Yes I very much do believe squatting keeps our backs young." I would say - from a disc hydration/nourishment perspective - SQUATTING AND SLEEPING keep our backs young. Here is an excerpt of an article which cites Adams, Dolan and Hutton's diurnal variations/changes articles, "In addition to the obvious benefits of sleep, when we lie down at night, loading on the intervertebral disks is reduced, and their relatively unopposed swelling pressure results in fluid absorption and increased volume. The absorbed fluid is expelled during the day when loading of the spine is increased. Thus, there is a diurnal variation in fluid content and height of the disks. This fluid exchange plays an important part in supplying nutrients to the intervertebral disk cells." --Howard Levy and William C. Hutton. Journal of the Southern Orthopaedic Association Volume 5, Number 3 Fall 1996. Citing Adams MA, Dolan P, Hutton WC: Diurnal variations in the stresses on the lumbar spine. Spine 12:130-137, 1987; and Adams MA, Dolan P, Hutton WC, et al: Diurnal changes in spinal mechanics and their clinical significance. J Bone Joint Surg Br 72:266-270, 1990. http://www.smaservicesinc.com/soa/jsoafl96/jsoafl5.htm Sarah, as I noted in "Sarah Key's huge balls," I think it is wrong of you to say such things as "we used to squat." Our children STILL squat - then we rob them of their innate comfortable prolonged squatting ability. As I further noted in "Sarah Key's huge balls": MDs are blaming their bizarre birth-canal-closing behavioir on what I call The Great Squat Robbery. See again Gardosi et al.'s 1989 Lancet "randomised controlled trial of squatting" where nobody squatted. Sarah, you did not respond to the fact that MDs and MBs (and the midwives who ape them) are closing birth canals. Why not? The next time HRH the Prince of Wales asks you to fly 7,000 to Britain to treat him, will you mention to him that MDs are closing birth canals? Just a thought. Sarah, I also encourage you to begin contacting **medical licensing boards** and asking them to ask MDs to stop closing birth canals... I recently asked the State of Virginia's medical licensing board here in the colonies... See MD birth crime: Gastaldo names individual MD... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/2082 No response yet. Again Sarah, thanks for acknowledging receipt of "Sarah Key's huge balls." PLEASE help babies, Sarah... PS3 PREGNANT WOMEN! It's EASY to open your birth canal an "extra" up to 30%! Just roll onto your side as you push your baby out! PLEASE talk to your MD about this NOW... WARNING, WARNING, WARNING, WARNING: Some MDs will let women "try" side-lying and other "alternative" delivery positions - but they will move women back to semisitting - close their birth canals (!) at the very worst possible moment (as the baby is coming out)... See GASTALDO'S ABSTRACT - my invited poster presentation at a recent obstetric congress co-sponsored by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists/ACOG. (NOTE: GASTALDO'S ABSTRACT is on the web: Search "GASTALDO'S ABSTRACT Paciornik"...) ***This post will be instantly archived for global access at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/2086.
