Default Birth, chiropractic and PREVENTION of vertebral subluxations

"I named chiropractic...the mental act of accumulating
knowledge...Chiropractic came as an educator."
--Dr. DD Palmer, Founder of Chiropractic

Medicine is RESTRICTING the mental act of accumulating knowledge...

So...

PREGNANT WOMEN: IMPORTANT CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT (non-spinal/educational):

OBs are closing birth canals up to 30% and gruesomely manipulating most
babies' spines.

To allow your birth canal to OPEN the "extra" up to 30%, see the SIMPLE
INSTRUCTIONS at the very end of this post.





The School of Chiropractic at Murdoch Univ., Perth, Australia says
(regarding chiropractic and PREVENTION):

"Chiropractic is a primary healthcare profession concerned with the
diagnosis, treatment and PREVENTION of disorders of the musculoskeletal
system..."
(On a web page authorized by Prof Stefan Pallister DC, Dip HA)
http://www.murdoch.edu.au/chiropractic/about.html

OPEN LETTER

Prof. Jenny Jamison, MBBCh, PhD, EdD
School of Chiropractic
Murdoch University
Perth, Australia


Jenny,

You say health information brochures should be recommended because
"implementation of even one healthy behavior can have a ubiquitous health
benefit..."

See Jamison JR. Prescribing Wellness: A Case Study Exploring the Use of
Health Information Brochures. J Manipulative Physiol Ther. 2004
May;27(4):262-266. PubMed abstract.

I AGREE!

With obstetricians senselessly closing birth canals up to 30% and gruesomely
manipulating most babies' spines...

I am thinking that the healthy behavior called allowing the birth canal to
open maximally at birth can have a "ubiquitous" health benefit that is
particularly relevant to the PREVENTION part of chiropractic.

Since you are a member of the core committee of the American Chiropractic
Association's/ACA's Wellness Campaign....
http://www.murdoch.edu.au/chiropract...y_Jamison.html

Please urge the ACA Wellness Campaign to develop birth brochures to educate
pregnant women regarding the fact that OBs are closing birth canals and how
easy it is for them to allow their birth canals to OPEN the "extra" up to
30%.

Thanks.

Sincerely,

Todd

Dr. Gastaldo


PS1 Since you are a board member of the Australian Spinal Research
Foundation/ASRF, perhaps you could persuade ASRF to collaborate with the ACA
Wellness Campaign on the birth brochure project?

Will you forward this to Dr. Mark Pope, B.Sc. (NSW), B.App.Sc. (Chiro)
C.C.S.P. a member of the 2003 ASRF Professional Priorities Research Panel...
http://www.spinalresearch.com.au/Abo...ectory2003.doc

(I'll also try to copy Dr. Pope via .)

Obviously, saving tiny lives and tiny limbs and PREVENTING more vertebral
subluxations than DCs will ever be able to adjust by hand should be a TOP
research priority of EVERY spinal research foundation.

Hopefully the Australian Spinal Research Foundation/ASRF will become
actively involved in stopping OBs from closing birth canals and in informing
women regarding how easy it is for them to allow their birth canals to OPEN
the "extra' up to 30%.

NOTE: The Foundation for Chiropractic Education and Research (FCER, in the
US) has not yet responded...

See ICA/ACA merger? (also: OBs causing strokes in babies? Attn: FCER and
ABQAURP)
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2513

PS2 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.

Here's my source for the 30% figure...

"[T]he outlet increases with moulding by approximately 20-30 per cent."
--Russell JGB. Moulding of the pelvic outlet. J Obstet Gynaec Brit Cwlth
1969;76:817-20.

NOTE: In 1973, Ohlsen verified Russell's 20% figure on
Borell and Fernstrom's 1957 intrapartum x-rays. Ohlsen pointed out that the
authors of Williams Obstetrics were claiming that the pelvic diameters
*don't
change* during delivery (!) - so the authors of Williams Obstetrics decided
(erroneously) that dorsal delivery widens!


Interestingly, J. Whitridge Williams, MD, the original author of Williams
Obstetrics had demonstrated MASSIVE amounts of change in pelvic outlet
diameter change at-term - and the just mentioned 1957 intrapartum x-ray
study accorded with the average amount of pelvic outlet diameter change that
Williams found clinically...

See: http://home1.gte.net/gastaldo/part2ftc.html

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/forums/ob-gy...9707/0128.html
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...
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
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2256

Sorry to be repetitive but...

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!

For details: See my Open Letter to FTC at:
http://home1.gte.net/gastaldo/part2ftc.html


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.

Again, those 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]

And 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!

Thanks for reading everyone.

Sincerely,

Todd

Dr. Gastaldo
