The Great Birth Robbery (also: Harvard magnet osteoarthritis treatment study)

THE GREAT BIRTH ROBBERY See below.

MAGNETIC TREATMENT OF OSTEOARTHRITIS OF THE KNEE

"[M]agnets showed statistically significant efficacy compared to placebo
after 4 hours under rigorously controlled conditions."
--Wolsko et al.^^^ Double-blind placebo-controlled trial of static magnets
for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee: results of a pilot study.
Altern Ther Health Med. 2004 Mar-Apr;10(2):36-43. PubMed abstract

How cool that knee osteoarthritis treatment with magnets is being studied
scientifically, but...

EXTRA! EXTRA!

Why are we robbing our children in The Great SQUAT Robbery?

AFTER A LIFETIME OF SQUATTING - THERE WAS **LESS** KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS IN
ELDERLY
CHINESE MEN!!!

See below...

First this emergency announcement...

THE GREAT BIRTH ROBBERY...

Obstetricians are *knowingly* closing birth canals up to 30%... See PROOF
below.

Jason Gardosi, MD in effect blamed The Great Squat Robbery for this Great
Birth Robbery in his bizarre 1989 Lancet "randomised controlled trial of
squatting
delivery" where nobody squatted!

PREGNANT WOMEN: It's EASY to allow your birth canal to OPEN the "extra" up
to 30%. You do NOT have to squat! See the very end of this post...

Amy could not easily squat - so she used SIDE-LYING...

"I found [side-lying] a very comfortable and easy birth position, as
somebody who
lacks the strength in my legs to squat."
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...&output=gplain

EXTRA! EXTRA!

AFTER A LIFETIME OF SQUATTING - THERE WAS **LESS** KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS IN
ELDERLY
CHINESE MEN!!!

Yet this amazing finding was BURIED by Zhang et al [2004] who found that,

Squatting may DECREASE the risk of knee arthritis in men - and this (I say
again) AFTER A
LIFETIME
OF SQUATTING.

See 'Science' vs Squatting? (Zhang et al. 2004)
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2476

On April 5, 2004, Reuters went along with the gag (my emphasis on LESS
LIKELY):

"Squatting Increases Knee Arthritis Risk...When Zhang's team compared the
Chinese study group with participants in a large U.S. study, they found that
tibiofemoral arthritis was about 10 percent more common in Chinese women
than in U.S. women. Chinese men, however, were LESS LIKELY to have this type
of arthritis than American men." (emphasis added)
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/n...ory_16965.html

Why were the words LESS LIKELY at the bottom of the Reuters article?!

And why didn't Reuters emphasize that less knee arthritis in men came
**after a life time of squatting** (!)

WOMEN PLEASE NOTE: Zhang et al.'s 10 percent more knee arthritis came
**after a life time of squatting**... 10 percent more knee arthritis might
be an acceptable trade-off for some women - esp. if squatting tends to
prevent HIP osteoarthritis.

"[Hip osteoarthritis in Chinese] was 80-90% less frequent than in white
persons in the US..."
--Nevitt et al. [Arthritis Rheum. 2002 Jul;46(7):1773-9. PubMed abstract]

There is no evidence yet that squatting prevents hip osteoarthritis, but
medical experts have long suspected this possibility.

Squatting may prevent a LOT of problems...

SQUATTING TO POOP: Jonathan Isbit seems to cover EVERYTHING about
squatting - including the research showing that squatting to poop may
prevent HEMORRHOIDS...

Back to Zhang et al...

The concluding Reuters sentences are atrocious:

"Although most people in the U.S. do not squat for extended periods of time,
Zhang noted that squatting and kneeling are very common in daily activities,
such as gardening and lifting. People need to be aware that squatting can
generate harmful forces on the knee joint and may increase the risk of knee
arthritis."

Many (most?) American adults CAN'T squat - and of those who still
can - most can't comfortably squat for prolonged periods.

Why is this White Elephant being overlooked?

After all...

Squatting is an innate REST posture that happens to function as
a DELIVERY posture that allows the birth canal to open maximally!

BUT...

PREGNANT WOMEN do NOT have to squat to allow their birth canals to open
the "extra" up to 30%...

Again, Amy used SIDE-LYING...

"I found this a very comfortable and easy birth position, as somebody who
lacks the strength in my legs to
squat. My wonderful best friend held my leg for me as my midwife delivered
my baby."

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

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

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 we letting OBs and CNMwives force babies' heads through birth canals
senselessly closed up to 30%?

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%!

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." (!)
--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!

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

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.

Go back and read your Palmerisms, then post when you have the cure for
cancer. Hint-I'm pretty sure it has something to do with spinal alignment.
Look for the cancer subluxation.

Geez!

CRON DIET:

ADJUSTING THE CANCER SUBLUXATION TO **PREVENT** CANCER... See below...

First this...

I mentioned a mass MEDICAL spinal manipulation crime...

Putting an end to it would save tiny lives and tiny limbs and PREVENT more

BOTH apply. BOTH "mainstream" medicine and chiropractic medicine are
finally getting around to science - and both are abusing science to buttress
existing practices...

A key fact isn't commonly acknowledged regarding "mainstream" medicine...

If "complementary and alternative medicine" (CAM) is taken to mean
"unproven"...

Most of "MAINSTREAM" medicine is CAM - CRIMINAL CAM - obviously so...

Tech27 concluded:

Go back and read your Palmerisms,


Most DCs haven't read "the Palmerisms" of Dr. DD Palmer, Founder of
chiropractic...

DD emphasized the existence of psychic (educational) subluxations and the
need to adjust them.

He subtitled his 1910 text "The Chiropractor's Adjuster" and named
chiropractic "the mental act of accumulating knowledge." [1910:19]

This only seems like arrogance until one realizes that medicine is
RESTRICTING the mental act of accumulating knowledge - restricting (for
example) key info about bizarre obstetric practices...

DD's fundamental chiropractic hypothesis (disease caused by environmental
(mech/chem/psychic) irritation of the nervous system) was published as the
definition of chiropractic in three editions of Dorland's Illustrated
Medical Dictionary.

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

Perhaps there are other kinds of psychic subluxations...

THE CANCER SUBLUXATION

then post when you have the cure for
cancer. Hint-I'm pretty sure it has something to do with spinal alignment.
Look for the cancer subluxation.

Geez!


Regarding "the cancer subluxation"...

DCs were, in effect, trying to adjust this subluxation hoping for CANCER
PREVENTION - educating/adjusting regarding the therapeutic use of foods
(diet therapy including whole foods, restricting foods and fasting) long
before it became fashionable to do so.

Now Roy Walford, MD writes of his Calorie Restriction Optimal Nutrition
(CRON) diet in non-humans:

"In the very first pioneering studies, caloric restriction of rats led to a
significant delay in development of all cancers...these effects also hold
for animals first placed on the diet in adulthood...The CRON diet is a
powerful and effective cancer-prevention and cancer-delaying regimen. If
there is a high incidence of cancer in your family, particularly breast
cancer, you should certainly consider being on this diet. But to keep some
cancer-stricken patient from going off on a foolish self-imposed starvation
tangent, I should add that there is no evidence that calorie restriction
will help cure cancer once that cancer has occurred, only that it will help
prevent cancer in the first place." [Walford R. Beyond the 120 Year Diet:
How to Double Your Vital Years. NY: Four Walls Eight Windows. Revised,
expanded edition. 2000:51]

Who knows but that the nutritional practices of some early DCs were similar
to Roy's CRON diet?

Regardless, Roy's book is a gem of a chiropractic adjustment. : )

Thanks for reading,

Todd
