APHA: Birth, a neuromusculoskeletal complaint

BIRTH, A NEUROMUSCULOSKELETAL COMPLAINT: The mother's uterine and abdominal
musculature must push her baby through an expandable part of her skeleton -
her pelvis - as her nerves cry out...

Many women suffer significant BACK PAIN during labor and delivery - not to
mention other pain...

OBs ARE MAKING THE PROBLEM WORSE - senselessly denying babies up to 30% of
pelvic outlet area as they gruesomely manipulate babies' spines (chemically
push; mechanically pull; see below) thereby CAUSING neuromusculoskeletal
problems in babies.

PREGNANT WOMEN can easily allow their birth canals to OPEN the "extra" up to
30%. See below.


APHA = American Public Health Association

APHA Resolution 8331 indicates that "chiropractic professional services" are
in order, i.e.,

APHA "[s]hares the judgment that only in this restricted area of clinical
care (i.e., manual spinal manipulation for back pain and related
neuro-musculo-skeletal complaints) is it warranted to assume that
chiropractic professional services have demonstrated potential for a
positive contribution to the health care of Americans..."
http://www.apha.org/legislative/poli...n=view&id=1062

APHA: Please pass a resolution urging licensed practitioners of spinal
manipulation called OBs to engage in GOOD "manual spinal manipulation for
back pain." APHA's view of chiropractic is quite narrow. Even if a mother
in late second stage is NOT suffering back pain - urge OBs to manually move
the mother's whole spine - move her OFF her spine - off her sacrum - as her
baby passes through her pelvic outlet. That way OBs won't have to engage in
so much gruesome manual spinal manipulation of babies. By passing this
resolution, APHA will PREVENT some occasionally back-pain-"related
neuro-musculo-skeletal complaints" in both mothers and babies.

Of course, mothers will likely move off their spines of their own accord if
OBs will only inform them that semisitting and dorsal close the birth canal
up to 30%; so that should be part of the resolution too..


PREGNANT WOMEN: It's EASY to allow your birth canal to OPEN the "extra" up
to 30% As you push your baby out just roll onto your side - or use other
"alternative" delivery positions.

BEWA Some OBs and CNMwives will let you "try" "alternative" delivery
positions - but they will move you back to semisitting or dorsal (close your
birth canal!) as you push your baby out!

Talk to your OB about this today... Have your OB read this post.



APHA and chiropractic...

Check out the change in APHA's attitude toward chiropractic between 1969 and
1983...

1969: "It appears that the practice of chiropractic [chiropractic treatment
of musculoskeletal conditions believed to be the major part of chiropractic
practice]...constitutes a hazard to the health and safety of our citizens."
http://www.apha.org/legislative/poli...on=view&id=616

1983: "[A]vailable scientific evidence makes it reasonable to assume that
[manual spinal manipulation for back pain and related neuro-musculo-skeletal
complaints] performed by chiropractors (and other licensed practitioners)
can be a safe and effective service..."
http://www.apha.org/legislative/poli...n=view&id=1062

"Other licensed practitioners" called OBs are the most prolific spinal
manipulators - and they are GRUESOME spinal manipulators - which is the
reason for this post.



CHIROPRACTIC FOR CHILDREN...

IMPORTANT NOTE: Gentle chiropractic adjusting for various complaints MAY be
good for children but there is no scientific evidence yet. For an
interesting article on chiropractic adjusting of children with attention
deficit disorder, see Dr. Charles Masarky's recent Dynamic Chiropractic
article at: http://www.chiroweb.com/columnist/masarsky/index.html



BIRTH AS A MUSCULOSKELETAL PROBLEM:

OBs MAKE THE PROBLEM WORSE

Just as there is no scientific evidence that GENTLE chiropractic adjusting
helps children...

There is ALSO no scientific evidence for GRUESOME spinal manipulation of
children by the most prolific spinal manipulators - MD-obstetricians.

MD-obstetricians are making birth the musculoskeletal problem worse -
closing birth canals up to 30% (causing cephalopelvic disproportion) - then
trying to solve the problem by GRUESOMELY manipulating most babies' spines.

ALL spinal manipulation is gruesome with the birth canal senselessly closed
up to 30%.

Whereas DCs/doctors of chiropractic GENTLY adjust babies' spines and have
been doing so since early last century,

"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]

MD-obstetricians are VIOLENTLY pushing on tiny spines (with oxytocin,
Cytotec and PGE2); GRUESOMELY pulling (with hands, forceps and vacuums) -
with birth canals senslessly closed up to 30%.

Sometimes MDs pull so hard they rip spinal nerves out of tiny spinal cords.

OBs should not make the musculoskeletal problem of birth worse by causing
cephalopelvic disproportion.



UNNECESSARY CESAREANS: OBs are CAUSING cephalopelvic disproportion then
performing cesarean sections BEcause of cephalopelvic disproportion...



UNNECESSARY EPISIOTOMIES: OBs are slashing vaginas en masse (euphemism
"routine episiotomy") - surgically/FRAUDULENTLY inferring they are doing
everything possible to OPEN the birth canal - even as they CLOSE the birth
canal - up to 30%.

Michael C. Klein, MD writes: "[E]pisiotomy is a deliberate second degree
tear." [Birth. Letter.
2002;29(1):74]

Episiotomies are usually FRAUDULENT deliberate tears and the fraud isn't
just restricted to MDs fraudulently inferring they are doing everything
possible to open birth canals...

Some MDs are still claiming (fraudulently) that their episiotomies are
*preventing*
severe tears clear to the anus when in fact MDs are CAUSING severe tears
clear to the anus!

In 1990 the National Institutes of Health researched the issue and found
that deliberate tears by
MDs (episiotomies) cause fifty times MORE severe tears (tears clear to the
anus) relative to leaving the vagina alone.[Shiono et al. Obstet Gynecol
1990;75(5):765-70. In Klein et al. Online J Curr Clin Trials
(Jul1)1992, Doc. No. 10]

What happens when MDs cause lots of vaginas to tear?

Well, it hurts a lot - and women can have bladder and anal/rectal
problems... Some women wear diapers for the rest of their lives.

Sometimes the vagina wound gets INFECTED...

Rarely, women lose their vaginas - or rather - much necrosed vulval/vaginal
tissue needs to be removed...

Women are being hospitalized in droves because of the vagina slashing (and
possibly because of the hostile microbial environment where it is
administered):

"The most common diagnosis for hospitalization among all women is trauma to
perineum due to childbirth."
http://www.ahcpr.gov/data/hcup/factbk3/factbk3.htm


Surely the American Public Health Association/APHA will be interested in the
fraud that underlies the most common diagnosis for hospitalization among all
women!



MYSTERIOUS SILENCE

"Chiropractic" boards and "chiropractic" attorneys (and "birth trauma"
attorneys!) are mysteriously silent.

See Why My Baby II: Atty Schroeder's birth justice means 'Just Us' (MDs and
attorneys covertly influencing UBPN?)
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2371

See also: Birth trauma attorney [PAMELA PANTAGES] always right?
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2367

Incidentally, the biomechanics were known and the 30% figure was
radiographically derived - LAST CENTURY...

See Kitzinger and 28% vs 30% - was scared man here
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2369

The silence of "birth trauma" attorneys is truly a mystery:
MD-obstetricians are obviously KNOWINGLY closing birth canals - in MOST
births...



MD-obstetricians are obviously KNOWINGLY closing birth canals - in MOST
births.

According to 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 is, the Merck Manual method for increasing the diameter of the pelvic
outlet - merely hyperflexing the mother's thighs - is BAD McRoberts
maneuver...

BAD McRoberts maneuver does not roll the woman off her sacrum and therefore
does NOT increase the diameter of the pelvic outlet!

See 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 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

Incredibly, the just quoted WMPI site states the grisly biomechanics of
semisitting but recommends semisitting delivery (closing the birth canal),
as in,

"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

SICK OB JOKE...

WMPI (Jason Gardosi, MD director) is advising women to close their birth
canals, then saying: "As you push, try to let yourself 'open up' below..."
(!)

ON A POSITIVE NOTE: The WMPI site does recommend a version of GOOD
McRoberts if the shoulders get stuck...
http://www.wmpi.net/reviews/oe/oe_shoulder_dystocia.htm

At one time, WMPI Jason Gardosi, MD and his British OB pal Malcolm Griffiths
got me censored from an international obstetric listserv for protesting this
bizarre obstetric behavior - but fortunately not before two of my articles
got posted...

BOTTOMLINE

This bizarre practice of obstetrics - OBs knowingly closing birth canals -
constitutes a hazard to the health and safety of our citizens.

APHA MUST SPEAK OUT

Again, birth is basically a neuro-musculo-skeletal complaint - which OBs are
senselessly making worse.

APHA Resolution 8331 indicates that "chiropractic professional services" are
in order...

APHA "[s]hares the judgment that only in this restricted area of clinical

neuro-musculo-skeletal complaints) is it warranted to assume that

Bill Meeker, DC and Kurt Hegetschweiler, DC represent the Chiropractic
Health Care Section on APHA's Governing Council.

Bill and Kurt write:

"With more than 50,000 members from over 30 public health occupations,
including chiropractic health care, the APHA's opinions carry a great deal
of weight in public health policy, and it has a long track record of
effectiveness in getting its agenda heard on Capitol Hill."
http://www.chiroweb.com/columnist/baird/index.html


APHA MUST SPEAK OUT

I think 100% of babies would want APHA to resolve to stop OBs from closing
birth canals before the next scheduled meeting of the APHA Governing
Council. An emergency meeting is in order.

APHA says: "To send general questions & comments to APHA, e-mail:
. " I will copy APHA at that address.

I will also copy The Nation's Health via editor and
assistant editor



I will also copy APHA chiro reps Bill Meeker and Kurt Hegetschweiler via
Dynamic Chiropractic owner/operator Don Petersen, Jr. via

Don Petersen, too, has been mysteriously silent on this matter.

Quite bizarre.

LAWRENCE TAIN, DC (Tain et al. plaintiff) indicates that newborns can suffer
VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATIONS as a result of birth trauma:

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

Why not PREVENT vertebral subluxations? DCs are missing a golden
opportunity to save tiny lives and tiny limbs and PREVENT more vertebral
subluxations than DCs will ever be able to adjust by hand.

APHA's resolution on chiropractic is NARROWSCOPE. Why?
