A HUNGARIAN OBSTETRICIAN OF NOTE (See the very end of this post for an
interesting Semmelweis factoid)


HUNGARIAN CHIROS LICENSED AS MASSAGE THERAPISTS

"Dr. Zsolt Kalbori of Budapest, a Palmer graduate serving as president of
the Hungarian Chiropractors' Association, confirms that there are currently
five DCs in practice in Hungary...[S]pinal manipulation is regarded as a
medical act, chiropractors must practice under a massage licence, but are
free to promote themselves as chiropractors - and do so. Contact for Dr.
Kalbori: ."

OPEN LETTER

Zsolt Kalbori, DC
President
Hungarian Chiropractors' Association


Zsolt,

As you know, Dr. Ignac Semmelweis of Hungary went crazy trying to get
obstetricians to wash their hands.

I'm trying to get obstetricians to stop closing birth canals up to 30%.

Obstetricians are not only closing birth canals - they are KEEPING birth
canals closed when the shoulders get stuck!

See the postscript for PROOF.

Since Hungarian chiros must be licensed under "massage" licenses...

Why not start a "massage" drive within Hungary to educate the world's women
regarding the fact that obstetricians are closing birth canals up to 30% and
how easy it is for them to OPEN their birth canals the "extra" up to 30%?

Just a thought...

Todd

Dr. Gastaldo


PS PROOF that OBs and CNMwives are routinely closing birth canals up to
30%...

That semisitting and dorsal close the birth canal is simple biomechanics.

See Gastaldo TD. Letter. Birth 1992;19(4):230.

The 30% figure comes from the medical literature...

Jason Gardosi, MD, director of the British National Health
Service/NHS West Midlands Perinatal
Institute/WMPI states the grisly biomechanics of the semirecumbent
delivery position (semisitting):

"...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

The funny thing is, Jason Gardosi, MD also *recommends* semisitting (closing
the birth canal) - or used to!

"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

NOTE: Jason Gardosi, MD and his fellow British OB pal Malcolm Griffiths once
got me censored from an international OB/GYN listserv - but fortunately not
before two of my posts were archived thereon:

Anyone interested in some entertaining obstetric reading, check out Jason's
1989 Lancet "randomised controlled trial of squatting" - where nobody
squatted...

See Sarah Key's huge balls (also: Kids can SQUAT motionless for hours)...
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/2084

MORE PROOF 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

WHY are OBs and CNMwives (nurse midwives) waiting until the
head is
out and shoulders get stuck before giving the baby maximum pelvic outlet
diameter?

WHY are OBs and CNMwives forcing babies' heads through birth canals
senselessly closed up to 30%?
WHY are OBs and CNMwives KEEPING birth canals closed when babies' shoulders
get stuck?

(Merely hyperflexing the thighs does NOT get the woman off her sacrum. This
is BAD McRoberts maneuver. ON A POSITIVE NOTE: Gardosi et al.'s WMPI site
(quoted above) recommends a version of GOOD McRoberts
if the shoulders get stuck...
http://www.wmpi.net/reviews/oe/oe_shoulder_dystocia.htm)

LADIES: HELP PROTECT YOUR VAGINAS...

OBs and CNMwives are slicing vaginas (euphemism "routine episiotomy") -
surgically/FRAUDULENTLY inferring everything possible is being done to OPEN
birth canals - even as they CLOSE birth canals - up to 30%!

See Criminal medical CAM at Hawai'i's John A Burns School of
Medicine

WEIRD: In 1993, the authors of Williams Obstetrics published the correct
biomechanics at my request but they left in their text (in the same
paragraph!) the "dorsal widens" bald lie that first called my attention to
their text.

The "dorsal widens" bald lie was created when Ohlsen informed the authors of
Williams Obstetrics in 1973 that they were still claiming that the pelvic
diameters *don't change* at delivery!

ALSO WEIRD: Before Ohlsen stimulated their "dorsal widens" bald lie, the
authors of Williams Obstetrics were ignoring Borell and Fernstrom's 1957
RADIOGRAPHIC demonstration that the diameters DO change - and this MANY
years after (way back in 1911) J. Whitridge Williams, MD - the first author
of Williams Obstetrics - clinically demonstrated 4cm of AP outlet diameter
change!

SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS

PREGNANT WOMEN: It is EASY for you to allow your birth canal to OPEN the
"extra" up
to 30%.
Just roll onto your side as you push your baby out - or deliver on
hands-and-knees, kneeling, standing, squatting, etc.

BUT BEWA "Midwives...encourage...semisitting." (closing the birth canal!)
--Yale CNMwifery Prof. Helen Varney. Varney's Midwifery. Sudbury, MA: Jones
and Bartlett. 4th ed. 2004:839]

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

If your baby's shoulders get stuck OBs and CNMwives will KEEP your birth
canal closed!

Yale CNMwifery Prof. Varney (just cited) writes:

"In the event of...shoulder dystocia...the woman should be
in a lithotomy position..." (p. 839)

Lithotomy position keeps the birth canal closed! So does semisitting!

Talk to your CNMwife or MD or MB about this TODAY. (For further details see
"Criminal medical CAM," URL above.)

CNMwives/MDs/MBs: If you must push or pull - and sometimes you must - first
get the
woman off her sacrum - off her back/butt.

David, could you forward this email to every country where WFC has
representation?

David, why can't WFC work on WHO's Tobacco Free Initiative AND work on
stopping obstetricians from closing birth canals up to 30%? Think
PREVENTION!

Chiros 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.

Cool Semmelweis factoid:

SEMMELWEIS AND SIDE-LYING...

"Because the midwives delivered women lying on their sides, [Semmelweis]
began to do the same..." [Nuland SB. The Doctors' Plague. NY:WW Norton
2003:93]

Side-lying allows the birth canal to open an "extra" up to 30%!

PREGNANT WOMEN: Some MDs and MBs will let you "try" "alternative"
delivery positions but will move you back to dorsal or semisitting (close
your birth canal!) as you push your baby out!

See above.
