Vertebral genesis of functional disorders (i.e., dizziness)

PREGNANT WOMEN: OBs are closing birth canals up to 30% (PROOF below) and
gruesomely manipulating most babies' spines at birth.

For simple instructions on how to OPEN your birth canal the "extra" up to
30%, see the very end of this post.

IS **TRAUMATIC BIRTH** THE FIRST "GENESIS" OF THE HYPOTHETICAL "VERTEBRAL
GENESIS" OF FUNCTIONAL DISORDERS?

Two German MDs write:

"The vertebral genesis of many functional disorders...such as dizziness,
hearing-impairment, ear-pressure, ear-pain, foreign body sensation in the
throat and dysphonia, is suggested by the success of spinal manipulative
therapy, particularly of the atlanto-occipital joint...The extraordinary
satisfaction with the manipulative therapy in 82% of patients with dizziness
(46% total relief, 36% high improvement) reflects the high efficiency of
this manual therapy...This retrospective investigation demonstrates that a
successful outcome after manual therapy is not based on a 'placebo
effect.'".

OPEN LETTER

Manfred,

Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary now has a definition of "vertebral
subluxation."

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

The fundamental hypothesis of chiropractic is that NON-SPINAL subluxations
in the environment (mech/chem/psychic) cause all disease including vertebral
subluxation.

Oddly, the new Dorland's definition of vertebral subluxation does not
mention this.

Non-spinal PSYCHIC subluxations (fear of loss of cultural authority, fear of
imprisonment) are likely causing obstetricians to continue to close birth
canals up to 30%.

Obstetricians - the most prolific spinal manipulators in the world - are
likely causing putative "vertebral subluxations"/"vertebral genesis" - in
many babies by gruesomely pushing and pulling on tiny spines with birth
canals senselessly closed up to 30%.

Please help me stop them.

Thanks for reading,

Sincerely,

Todd

Dr. Gastaldo

PS PROOF that OBs are knowingly closing birth canals up to 30%.

First this...

HEINER BEIDERMANN, MD of Belgium?

In 2003 there was a World Federation of Chiropractic/WFC workshop on upper
cervical techniques for infants and children by U.S. chiropractor Dr. Joan
Fallon "and Belgian medical doctor Dr. Heiner Beidermann..."
http://www.chiroweb.com/archives/21/07/24.html

I thought H Beidermann was German! Maybe there are two Beidermanns who
adjust babies' spines? Or maybe H Beidermann just works/worked in Germany?

The German physician Beidermann [1992] used spinal adjusting to treat 135
babies referred to him by a pediatric orthopedist.

Beidermann [1992] wrote that traumatization of suboccipital structures
occurs during birth, giving rise to manipulable lesions and various
conditions which he has observed to subside soon after manipulation of
those lesions. [Beidermann H. Kinematic imbalances due to suboccipital
strain in newborns. J Manual Medicine 1992;6:151-156. H. Beidermann,
M.D., Surgical Department, University of Witten-Herdecke, Schützenstrasse
9, W-5840 Schwerte, Federal Republic of Germany.]

According to Beidermann [1992], conditions which have yielded to a single
upper cervical manipulation include neonatal torticollis, opisthotonus,
asymmetric motor patterns, sleeping disorders, asymmetric development and
range of motion of the hips, fever of unknown origin, and loss of
appetite.

Beidermann reports that manipulation and physiotherapy
complement each other, with about 50% of cases requiring physiotherapy
following spinal manipulation. ("[P]hysiotherapists report consistently that
the[ir] treatment is simplified after
manipulation.")

Beidermann [1992] also stated,

"Prolonged labor and the use of extraction
aids are especially overrepresented" in cases of the syndrome he calls
kinematic imbalance due to suboccipital strain, or KISS. The birth
canal, he says, is "one of the most dangerous obstacles we ever have to
traverse."

WHY are we letting obstetricians CLOSE birth canals?

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


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

The closing birth canal part is simple biomechanics. See Gastaldo TD.
Letter. Birth 1992;19(4):230.

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:

http://forums.obgyn.net/ob-gyn-l/OBGYNL.9707/0153.html

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...

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%!

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.

Thanks for reading everyone.

Sincerely,

Todd

NOTE: German obstetrician Wilhelm Horkel, MD recently indicated to me
privately that my information is "absolutely correct"... I will bcc him.

I will also bcc Prof. Dr. Moyses Paciornik and his son Dr. Claudio Paciornik
of Curitiba, Brazil.

As I indicated in 1997 just before I was censored by OBs (see above), I
believe the Paciorniks should share a Nobel Prize in Medicine for calling
attention to the grisly biomechanics of woman-on-her-back delivery and for
taking ACTION and establishing a modern squatting birth clinic.

Here is an excerpt about Prof. Dr. Moyses Paciornik from my post to
OB/GYN-List before OBs censored me...

"In 'Arguments against episiotomy and in favor of squatting for birth'
[Birth 1990;17:104-5] - Brazilian obstetrician Moysés Paciornik made
clear his belief that fetal skull squashing, as occurs in dorsal and
semisitting delivery, causes brain damage and perineal tears.

"American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) President Joyce Roberts (and
Woolley)
cited Paciornik [1990]; but ignored
Paciornik's reference to brain damage. [!] Roberts and Woolley [1996]
promoted semisitting - but then offered a [bizarre] 'word of caution':
Citing
Paciornik [1990], they stated that PERINEAL TEARS may result from
'encroachment of the sacrum and coccyx on the pelvic outlet when the
woman is sitting or semisitting.' [Roberts and Woolley. A second look at
the second stage of labor. JOGNN (Jun)1996;25:415-23]

"Why mention perineal tears and not brain damage? [!]"

END excerpt of Gastaldo's post to OB/GYN-List right before he was
censored
http://forums.obgyn.net/forums/ob-gy...9707/0128.html

The Paciorniks of Brazil should indeed share a Nobel Prize in Medicine.
