PREGNANT WOMEN: By using semisitting and dorsal (woman-on-her-back/buttocks)
delivery positions, obstetricians are closing birth canals up to 30%.
It's easy to allow your birth canal to OPEN the "extra" up to 30%. See
below.

acquisition cost (in terms of time, money and effort). This is sometimes
referred to 'picking the low hanging fruit'..."

Babies are the LOWEST "hanging fruit" - the easiest patients to help at the
least cost...PREVENTION IS FREE (and could lead to daily chiropractic care;
see below)...
PREGNANT WOMEN: As noted above, by using semisitting and dorsal
(woman-on-her-back/buttocks) delivery positions, obstetricians are closing
birth canals up to 30%.
UNNECESSARY SPINAL MANIPULATION OF BABIES Obstetricians are KEEPING birth
canals closed the "extra" up to 30% when babies get stuck as they manipulate
babies' spines - pulling with hands, forceps and vacuums - sometimes pulling
so hard they rip spinal nerves out of tiny spinal cords.
UNNECESSARY C-SECTION/UNNECESSARY EPISIOTOMY Obstetricians are slicing
vaginas/abdomens en masse (episiotomy/c-section) - surgically/fraudulently
inferring they are doing/have done everything possible to open birth canals
- even as they close birth canals up to 30%.
LADIES: It is easy to allow your birth canal to OPEN the "extra" up to 30%.
See ACOG's 2005 edition: How NOT to birth

NOTE: Compelling obstetricians to allow birth canals to open the "extra" up
to 30% is not going to prevent all episiotomies, c-sections and forceps
deliveries; but obstetricians have no business closing birth canals the
"extra' up to 30%.

Tom,
A profession that aspires to be "the leading wellness care profession"
should not keep ignoring the LOWEST hanging fruit - prevention...
MORE "LOW HANGING FRUIT"
Even stranger than the chiropractic profession's silence about obstetricians
keeping birth canals closed the "extra" up to 30% as they manipulate babies'
spines is the chiropractic silence about a related culture-wide robbery that
robs girls of a fundamental human rest posture - one that happens to double
as a fundamental human DELIVERY posture which allows the birth canal to OPEN
the "extra" up to 30%.
See Sarah Key's huge balls (also: Kids can SQUAT motionless for hours)...
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/2084
NOTE: Women do NOT have to squat to allow their birth canals to open the
"extra" up to 30%.
For postures that allow the birth canal to open the "extra" up to 30%...

PSYCHIATRIC RAMIFICATIONS OF LOSS OF OUR INNATE SQUATTING ABILITY?
In 1944, psychiatrist EA Strecker, MD indirectly suggested there may be
psychiatric ramifications of our culture-wide loss of a fundamental human
range of motion...
He asked:
"Are we not a crossroads in the path of our civilization when it would be
well for us to emulate that tribe of Amazon River natives who, from time to
time, interrupt their customary routine of activities and squat on the
ground? Neither persuasion nor threat serves to move them until an alloted
time has elapsed. They declare they are waiting for their 'souls to catch
up with their bodies...'" [E.A. Strecker, MD. 1944 Presidential Address
before the American Psychiatric Association. Am J Psychiatry. 1944;101:1-8]
PROBLEM: Western culture ROBS the comfortable prolonged flat-footed
squatting ability.
Of the fortunate adult chairdwellers who can still squat flat-footed, few
can do so comfortably for prolonged periods.
I say again to Tom Deters, DC: A profession that aspires to be "the leading
wellness care profession" should not keep ignoring the LOWEST hanging fruit
- prevention...
I personally think that DAILY chiropractic care is in order for a nation of
chairdwellers.
I DON'T mean daily chiropractic are administered for a fee by chiropractors.
Rather, I mean daily full range of motion for hips and knees and ankles and
spines finally - SLOW recovery from the effects of living in a chairdwelling
culture.
Some people will go too fast - and will WANT to avail themselves of the
services of the various practitioners of physical medicine - including
chiropractors.
Conceivably, this latter phenomenon could flood chiropractic offices.
But not for long - hopefully...
A nation of chairdwellers interested in using their bodies in a way their
culture has denied them could become quite fit - and in doing so could allow
and encourage CHILDREN to maintain their innate flat-footed squatting
ability.
I suspect with orthopedic surgeon W. Harry Fahrni, MD that a LOT of back
pain would be prevented by allowing children to maintain their innate
squatting ability. [Fahrni WH. Orth Clin N Am 1975]
But even if NO back pain were prevented - think of the benefit of "just"
maintaining use of an all-terrain rest posture well into adulthood.
As most elderly humans on the planet can rise from a full squat quite late
in life, our elderly have difficulty rising from chairs.
We are warehousing them WAY to early in nursing homes - wasting lives - and
wasting billions per year.
JUST THINK TOM. Chiropractic in its present range of motion/spinal
manipulation phase is failing to call attention to a CULTURE-WIDE loss of
range of motion that has been blamed (by obstetricians^^^) for massive MD
spinal manipulation crime that goes with it.
^^^The culture-wide loss of range of motion was the ostensible reason no one
squatted in British obstetrician Jason Gardosi's 1989 Lancet "randomised
controlled trial of squatting..."
