Luigi,
Why not counsel women regarding **sacroiliac motion/pelvic outlet area
increase** prior to delivery?
Sacroiliac motion/pelvic outlet area increase can now be easily measured
prior to delivery in special MRI units.
Swiss researchers recently used one to determine that MDs are closing birth
canals "significantly."
See Flip women over, reach in vagina, *pull* on sacrum during MRI!
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/2012
MDs are closing birth canals up to 30% and killing up to six babies per day
with vacuum extraction alone. See below.
Please help stop MDs from closing birth canals at delivery.
Sincerely,
Todd

PS OPERATIVE VAGINAL DELIVERY...
UP TO SIX BABIES PER DAY *DIE* FROM VACUUM-ASSISTED SPINAL MANIPULATION BY
MDs!
First this...
PREGNANT WOMEN: MDs and MBs (and midwives) are senselessly closing birth
canals up to 30%...
It's EASY to allow your birth canal to OPEN the "extra" up to 30% (!)...
(and you DON'T have to squat)
Just roll onto your side^^^ as you push your baby out. BUT - see WARNING,
WARNING, WARNING at the very end of this post...
^^^LOTS of birth positions (kneeling, hands-and-knees, hanging-from-husband)
allow the birth canal to open maximally...
Make sure you are NOT on your butt/back (closing your birth canal) when the
MD pulls out
her/his vacuum extractor or forceps. See below.
HOW TO STOP BACK PAIN DURING BIRTH (ODENT)
"There will be a high probability that she will find herself on her hands
and knees...The first immediate effect will be to alleviate the pain,
particularly if it
is back pain."
--Michel Odent, MD [The Farmer and the Obstetrician. London: Free
Association Books. 2002:106]
NOTE: I believe MDs are causing pain thereby inhibiting labor
NEUROLOGICALLY.
See USUAL MECHANISM below.
BIRTH TRAUMA...MASS VAGINA SLASHING...
MDs are slashing vaginas en masse (euphemism "routine episiotomy")
surgically/FRAUDULENTLY inferring they are doing everything possible to OPEN
birth canals - even as they CLOSE birth canals - up to 30%.
Michael C. Klein, MD writes: "I think it is important to recognize that
episiotomy is a deliberate second degree tear." [Birth. Letter.
2002;29(1):74]
Klein also indicates routine deliberate vagina tearing is UNNECESSARY in
most cases...
NOTE: MDs blame "childbirth" for their mass vagina slashing behavior, as
in,
"The most common diagnosis for hospitalization among all women is trauma to
perineum due to childbirth."
http://www.ahcpr.gov/data/hcup/factbk3/factbk3.htm
Senselessly closing birth canals and slashing vaginas is MEDICAL birth - not
childbirth...
MORE BIRTH TRAUMA...
VACUUM ASSISTED SPINAL MANIPULATION BY MDs...
UP TO SIX BABIES PER DAY *DIE* FROM VACUUM-ASSISTED SPINAL MANIPULATION BY
MDs!
USUAL MECHANISM...
1. MD (or MB) closes birth canal up to 30% thereby 1) PHYSICALLY inhibiting
labor (causing the baby to get stuck) and 2) inhibiting labor
NEUROLOGICALLY (sacroiliac joint torqued exactly the opposite direction it
should be torqued thereby irritating somatic afferents thereby
NEUROLOGICALLY inhibiting labor)...
2. MD (or MB) sticks vacuum extractor into vagina and applies suction cup to
baby's skull/scalp.
3. MD (or MB) PULLS - slowly ripping scalp away from baby's skull.
The baby is dragged out the vagina but BLOOD IS ACCUMULATING under the
galeal/epicranial aponeurosis of the baby's
scalp.
When this accumulation of blood is noticeable, it is called subgaleal
hematoma/subaponeurotic hemorrhage...
"Subgaleal haematoma/subaponeurotic haemorrhage...can almost exsanguinate
the infant."
--Kathrin W. Dahl, MD et al. [Ugeskr Laeger. 2002 Nov 18;164(47):5525-6.
PubMed abstract]
"Bleeding into the subaponeurotic space can cross the suture lines and
occupy the entire subaponeurotic space. It has been estimated that when this
space is filled to a depth of one centimetre it can hold as much as 260 mls
of blood - approximately the total blood volume of a 3 kg neonate..."
----Calum Macleod, MD (with O'Neill) [Ir Med J. 2003 May;96(5):147-8. See
also: http://www.imj.ie/news_detail.php?nNewsId=2660&nVolId=102]
"Neonatal subgaleal hematomas (SGHs) are infrequent but underdiagnosed
collections of blood beneath the galea [scalp], often caused by vacuum
delivery. With massive bleeding into the subgaleal space, exsanguination and
hypovolemic shock can cause death in 20 to 60% of newborn infants."
--Arun P. Amar, MD et al.^^^ [Neurosurgery. 2003 Jun;52(6):1470-4;
discussion 1474. PubMed abstract]
60% mortality?!
Here's a 23% mortality figure recently reported...
"In the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland 10% of all deliveries are
vacuum assisted...6.4 per 1000 [of these result in subgaleal
haematoma/subaponeurotic haemorrhage]...mortality...23%."
--Calum Macleod, MD (with O'Neill) [Ir Med J. 2003 May;96(5):147-8. PubMed
abstract. See also:
http://www.imj.ie/news_detail.php?nNewsId=2660&nVolId=102]
VACUUM DEATHS IN THE UNITED STATES...
Check my math...
In 2002, there were 4,019,280 births in the United States...
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/releases/03news/lowbirth.htm
1. Assume US vacuum delivery rate 5% (half that in the United Kingdom and
Republic of Ireland) = (roughly) 200,000 vacuum deliveries per year
2. Assume same subgaleal haematoma/subaponeurotic haemorrhage rate 6.4%...
6.4% of 200,000 = (roughly) 12,000 subgaleal haematomas/subaponeurotic
haemorrhages per year
3. Assume same (23%) mortality from subgaleal haematoma/subaponeurotic
haemorrhage...
23% of 12,000 = (roughly) 2,400 deaths from vacuum delivery per year!
**MORE** THAN 2,000 AMERICAN BABIES ARE VACUUMED TO DEATH BY MDs ANNUALLY!
(This is a
*conservative* estimate based on the three assumptions above.)
WARNING: Macleod and O'Neill write: "Given the low rates of neonatal
autopsy and the relatively high
rates of vacuum assisted delivery the real extent of vacuum associated
morbidity and mortality may be much higher than realised. When the federal
authorities in the United States and Canada issued public health advisories
for vacuum assisted delivery a 22-fold increase in notification of adverse
outcomes was observed...Subaponeurotic haemorrhage is difficult to diagnose
as clinical signs may be minimal or absent."
--Calum Macleod, MD (with O'Neill) [Ir Med J. 2003 May;96(5):147-8. See
also: http://www.imj.ie/news_detail.php?nNewsId=2660&nVolId=102
NOTE: It is likely that US and Canadian "public health advisories for
vacuum assisted delivery" mentioned by Macleod do not warn MD-obstetricians
not to place women on their backs/butts at delivery. If so, this oversight
should be corrected immediately.
PREGNANT WOMEN! It's EASY to open your birth canal the "extra" up to
30%!
Just roll onto your side as you push your baby out! PLEASE talk to your MD
about this NOW...
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING: Some MDs will let women "try" side-lying and
other
"alternative" delivery positions - but they will move women back to
semisitting -
close their birth canals (!) at
the very worst possible moment (as the baby is coming out)...
See GASTALDO'S ABSTRACT - my invited poster presentation at a recent
obstetric congress co-sponsored by the American College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists/ACOG. (NOTE: GASTALDO'S ABSTRACT is on the web: Search
"GASTALDO'S ABSTRACT
Paciornik"...)
As always, I am in favor of pardons in advance for MDs. MDs are just
academic prime cuts forced through this culture's most powerful mental
meatgrinder - medical school. Same goes for MBs...
