CENSOR Naomi Chance via drpat@...: Censorship is not part of
chiropractic. See DD Palmer quotes below.

DR. GASTALDO SQUATS: Attn: Barrett Dorko, PT, ACREU and CDC Injury Center
Director ILEANA ARIAS, PhD (via Dianne Clapp, Executive Assistant to the
Director)...

Mr. Dorko/ACREU/Dr. Arias/CDC: Please see "PREVENTING FALLS IN THE ELDERLY"
at the end of this post...

ALSO: SPINAL ANATOMY - This is amazing! Could BIRTH TRAUMA predispose
people to artery dissections/strokes later in life?

According to a fairly recent (2005) edition of Functional Neuroanatomy by
Adel Afifi, MD and Ronald Bergman, PhD...

"The atlantoaxial segment [of the vertebral artery] is affected in
fractures, dislocations, subluxations, BIRTH TRAUMA, and chiropractic
adjustments..." (p. 352, emphasis added.)

DRS. AFIFI and BERGMAN, will you please email me the references which
support your statement - esp. the refs regarding "subluxations, BIRTH TRAUMA
and chiropractic adjustments"?

Hopefully, PAT GAYMAN, DC (drpat@...) will discuss your
amazing statement (and the NETTE vs. STILES case; see below) in her Spinal
Anatomy class at the upcoming September 2008 Parker chiropractic seminar.
See below.

DR. GAYMAN: When you discuss "philosophy" in your Spinal Anatomy seminar,
please consider discussing Dr. DD Palmer's NON-SPINAL chiropractic
philosophy...

Bizarrely, the chiropractic profession is **IGNORING** DD's non-spinal
chiropractic philosophy - missing a golden opportunity save tiny lives
and tiny limbs and PREVENT more vertebral subluxations than DCs will ever be
able to adjust by hand - just by stopping gruesome
birth-canal-closing/spinal manipulation by OBGYNs.

See Validating NON-SPINAL chiropractic: Stopping the OBGYN spinal
manipulation crime
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/1659

As I've noted previously on NAOMI CHANCE's ChiropracticAssistant's list...

OBGYNs are behaving as CLASSIC vertebral subluxations causing literal nerve
(brain) pinching and literal nerve stretching (brachial nerves are sometimes
ripped out of tiny spinal cords).

1. BRAIN (NERVE) PINCHING: By using semisitting and dorsal delivery, obgyns
are
closing birth canals
up to 30% (most births). For the simple biomechanics and clinical and
radiographic cites from the
medical literature - see Gastaldo TD. Letter. BIRTH. 1992;19(4):230-1.
http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/toc/bir/19/4, FREE ACCESS.

2. NERVE STRETCHING: Brachial nerves are sometimes RIPPED: When babies get
stuck, obgyns are KEEPING
birth canals closed the "extra"
up to 30% (keeping women semisitting/dorsal) as they pull with
forceps/vacuums (1 in 10 births) - sometimes pulling so hard they rip spinal
nerves out of tiny spinal cords.

3. OBGYNs often offer vagina slicing - "generous episiotomies" - with their
forceps/vacuum births - surgically/fraudulently inferring they are doing
everything possible to open the birth canal - even as they keep the birth
canal closed the "extra" up to 30%. See MASS SEXUAL ASSAULT below.

4. OBGYNs indirectly ADMIT the birth-canal-closing on video. (The ACOG
Shoulder Dystocia training video purports to show OBGYNs how to allow the
birth canal to open maximally in rare cases when babies' shoulders get
stuck - which is the indirect admission that they know they are keeping the
birth canal closed the "extra" up to 30% in most births.)

5. OBGYN experts have been LYING to cover-up. For the Four OB Lies (they
are whoppers) see below. OB Lie #4 is particularly vicious: The method
purported on the above mentioned ACOG video to allow the birth canal to open
maximally - actually keeps the mother on her sacrum - keeps the birth canal
CLOSED the "extra" up to 30%.

I may as well include Four OB Lies in this email...

THE FOUR OB LIES (they are whoppers)...

OB LIE #1. After MASSIVE change in the AP pelvic outlet diameter was
clinically demonstrated in 1911 and radiographically demonstrated in 1957,
the authors of Williams Obstetrics began erroneously claiming that pelvic
diamaters DON'T CHANGE at delivery.

OB LIE #2. After Ohlsen pointed out in 1973 that pelvic diameters DO
change - the authors of Williams Obstetrics began erroneously claiming that
their most frequent delivery position - dorsal - widens the outlet.

OB LIE #3. After I pointed out in 1992 that dorsal CLOSES - and so does
Semisitting [Gastaldo TD. Birth. 1992;19(4):230 FREE ACCESS at the URL
above] - the authors of Williams
Obstetrics - put the correct
biomechanics in their 1993 edition - but kept in their text (in the same
paragraph!) - the dorsal widens bald lie that first called my attention to
their text...

OB LIE #4. OBs are actually KEEPING birth canals closed when babies get
stuck - claiming they are doing everything to allow the birth canal open
maximally. (See the ACOG Shoulder Dystocia training video which purports to
show how to open the birth canal maximally when babies get stuck which is an
indirect VIDEO ADMISSION that they are routinely closing birth canals. Also
forceps and vacuum births
are performed with the mother in lithotomy, birth canal senselessly closed
the "extra" up to 30%.)

MDs ARE IGNORING RELEVANT AMA PRINCIPLES OF MEDICAL ETHICS....

"[AMA physician[s] shall...strive to expose those physicians...who engage in
fraud or deception."

"[AMA p]hysician[s] shall...seek changes in those requirements which are
contrary to the best interests of the patient."

"[AMA p]hysician[s] shall...make relevant information available to patients,
colleagues, and the public..."
http://www.psych.org/psych_pract/eth...nions53101.cfm

According to AMA...

There is PATIENT SAFETY responsibility "even in the absence of a
patient-physician relationship," as in,

"[P]hysicians must strive to ensure patient safety and should play a central
role in identifying, reducing, and preventing health care errors. This
responsibility exists even in the absence of a patient-physician
relationship."
http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/category/11968.html

THE PROBLEM

Law enforcement is looking the other way - and MDs know it.

See the arrogant boast of Steve Harris, MD, quoted below.

Some babies DIE - some babies are paralyzed - most "only" suffer gruesome
spinal manipulation.

Some babies may be suffering STROKES as a consequence of
birth-canal-closing/spinal manipulation by obgyns.

See Baby stroke risk = elderly stroke risk (Lee et al. UCSF) [2005]
http://groups.google.com/group/misc.kids.pregnancy/msg/4c1033ab4a8aab2e

Meanwhile chiropractic "leaders" are remaining silent about this massive
birth-canal-closing/spinal manipulation crime of OBGYNs as
"subluxation-based" chiropractic is reportedly about to be sued into
oblivion in Canada because of RARE strokes caused by GENTLE spinal
manipulations (relatively speaking) by chiropractors...

NAOMI CHANCE - CENSOR...

#### Naomi, I hope you will either publicly support your statement above -
or publicly retract it - NOW.

#### Chiro-cowards are running like hell as babies senselessly endure
SOMETIME FATAL birth-canal-closing/spinal manipulation by OBGYNs.

#### You are running interference for them - causing MASSIVE nerve
interference/nerve TRAUMA in babies.

Okay, I can see that you are very passionate about this topic, and
perhaps there is some validitiy to your claims.

#### PERHAPS there is validity? LOL! The biomechanics are as SIMPLE as the
OB Lies are OBVIOUS.

Although I, and many
others are sympathtic to the victims of medical mistakes,

#### Further remarks in response to Naomi's censorship attempt.

#### Morever, chiropractors claim that this spinal manipulative therapy by
OBGYNs is a CAUSE of that which chiropractors charge to treat.

#### And chiropractic - according to WFC and WHO includes PREVENTION. See
above.

I must
respectfully request that you not post to this group any *rants* that
you have against OBGYN's or the medical profession.

#### NAOMI: Babies are DYING and OBGYNs are LYING - as chiropractic
"leaders" mysteriously DELETE references to birth trauma causing vertebral
subluxations.

#### Perhaps you think babies are merely "ranting" into electronic fetal
heart-rate monitors/EFMs as they are forced through birth canals senselessly
KEPT closed?

This forum is to help CA's and DC's with issues that are specifically
related to the CHIROPRACTIC office and profession.

#### I submit that chiropractic offices that ignore OBVIOUS
birth-canal-closing/spinal manipulation crime - are not really
"chiropractic" offices; rather they are BJ-"straight"/crooked spinal cult
money-making operations.

#### See the post that most likely stimulated your warning that you are
about to censor/"moderate" my posts...

PROFESSIONAL CHIROPRACTIC OFFICE

See also my reply to your response to The God Subluxation:

#### Naomi concluded...

What occurs in
OBGYN"s offices and the procedures they do, has nothing to do with the
practice of chiropractic and is beyond the scope of this group.

#### FALSE - completely false. Just like chiro "leaders" are suddenly
deleting/CENSORING their "birth-trauma-causes-vertebral subluxation"
statements - OBGYNs in Canada/SOGC deleted their admission they are using
the birth-canal-closing/semisitting position - and the birth-canal-closing
lithotomy position when babies get stuck.

SOME RELEVANT QUOTES FROM THE FOUNDER OF CHIROPRACTIC

Excerpted from

The Chiro Board chairman (Iowa/Kraus) vs. babies
http://groups.google.com.mx/group/misc.kids.pregnancy/msg/60c263610988135f
"I could slide through the world much more easily if I had more
respect for
policy and less for honesty." [Palmer DD. The Science, Art and
Philosophy of
Chiropractic. Portland, OR: Portland Printing House Co. 1910:615]


"Chiropractors correct abnormalities of the intellect as well as those
of
the body." [1910:19]


"Some of our readers may think The Adjuster is a rough adjuster..."
[1910:300]


"If we make friends by firmly advocating that which we feel is right,
we
shall be pleased; if enemies are made, we hope they will feel the
penetration of our remarks." [Palmer DD. The Science, Art and
Philosophy
of Chiropractic. Portland, OR: Portland Printing House Co., 1910:454]


"It now remains for Chiropractors to rectify the mistakes of the
medical
profession." [1910:867]

#### Chiropractor mistakes are MINIMAL compared to medicine's
birth-canal-closing/SPINAL MANIPULATION "mistake"...

#### Naomi, your warning here is THREATENED CENSORSHIP - which has NOTHING
to do with DD-straight chiropractic and everything to do with BJ-"straight"
chiropractic.

#### You made no response to my criticisms of BJ-"straight" chiropractic -
NONE.

#### You have just become an "enveloper" of chiropractic....

#### I SAY AGAIN: Whereas BJ called himself the "Developer" of
chiropractic,
DD called BJ "the enveloper" [1910:701]

#### On p. 752, DD wrote (this is FUNNY!) about BJ imagining himself to be
the Founder:

"I have analyzed the symptoms, and am now tracing The
Chiropractor [BJ's journal, originally founded by DD - TDG]
in order to locate the luxation causing aberration and
kleptomania. I find on page 15 of the July number,
'Everything is tried but the right thing-adjusting the cause-
which remained for D. D. Palmer to discover.' In this same
number is advertised, 'The Science of Chiropractic, by Dr.
D. D. Palmer, Discoverer and Developer.' Up to this date
every vertebra examined showed proper alignment; due respect
was paid by the son to his father for his untiring research
from the time B.
J., the son, was seven years of age up to three years ago.
If the symptoms of aberration and kleptomania continue to
increase, some number of the Chiropractor in the near
future will give the date of the father's graduation as
later than that of his son...I have found the luxation on
page 59 of the August and September number, 1907. It shows
symptoms of aberration, hallucination, mental wandering,
divergence from the truth and a well-defined case of
kleptomania. The reader may notice the mental derangement,
the incoherent, disjointed expressions, that have little
relation to the subject; the delusions of the patient
[BJ], imagining himself to be the discoverer, developer
and Founder of Chiropractic...It is to be hoped that this
adjustment may bring [BJ] to his senses, relieve him from
kleptomania and wandering from the paths of truth and
moral rectitude."

#### Naomi - another "enveloper" of chiropractic - continued...

I agree with you that the FIRST subluxation can occur in a birth
trauma.

#### When the OB is CAUSING birth trauma - that's CHILD ABUSE.

#### OBs (the first subluxations) actually pinch nerves (brains) and stretch
nerves (brachial nerves) - sometimes KILLING sometimes paralyzing - likely
ALWAYS subluxating...

In addition, I have seen numerous other birth traumas
(cranium and spinal) that result in mental and physical handicaps
that Dr's throw under the umbrella name cerebral palsy.

#### If the mother was on her sacrum - child abuse was committed.

There are
many things that can go wrong in birth and delivery that could
easily be prevented by competent OB'S.

#### OBs are birth-canal-closing/spinal manipulation criminals. Sometimes
the crime committed is criminally negligent homicide. They are not going to
report themselves. Failure to report the birth-canal-closing/spinal
manipulation child abuse is what perpetuates the crime - along with law
enforcement looking the other way. They don't call it a medico-"legal"
"just us" system for nothing... Chiro silence no doubt yields fine
political plums...

#### Chiro "leaders" are actually running the other way - DELETING "birth
trauma causes vertebral subluxations" phrases - as they REMAIN SILENT.

#### Chiro "leaders" may as well be closing birth canals themselves and
wrenching on babies' spines themselves...

Parker use to speak about something similar to what you are inferring
regarding the non-spinal adjusting CA {educational}. This is called
quite simply: A GREAT CA!

#### YES - CAs practice non-spinal chiropractic. Most CAs though will NOT
deign to practice chiropractic to help babies - at least not openly. Most
will not speak out and challenge THEIR DOCTORS to speak out to save tiny
lives and tiny limbs and PREVENT more vertebral subluxations than DCs will
ever be able to charge to adjust by hand. It's a BUSINESS thing. It's KEEP
YOUR JOB thing. Babies be damned. I understand that. (Maybe I am wrong?
Maybe the problem is CAs - and most DCs - just don't understand the problem?
I for one am glad that you asked me to explain how birth canals are being
closed. Thanks Naomi. At the very least, CAs and DCs will hopefully tell
pregnant friends and relatives about the crime - and how easy it is to avoid
it..)

#### I think I was right. I suspect that Naomi did not suddenly decide to
censor on her own. If not, I wonder the identities of the BJ-"straight"
chiro cowards who advised her.

#### If Naomi DID decide to censor on her own - well - she is supporting
chiro cowardice. See the quotes from DD above.

>>>>BEGIN excerpt of Todd/Dr. Gastaldo's post to Naomi's list
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/1983

I also like that Naomi's group is dedicated to EDUCATION and health of all
chiropractic assistants, chiropractors, and...PATIENTS (again, my caps)
http://health. groups.yahoo. com/group/ ChiropracticAssi stants/

Dr. DD Palmer, Founder of chiropractic, renamed EDUCATION chiropractic, as
in,

"I...named the mental act of accumulating knowledge, the...growth of
intellectual. ..Chiropractic. "(p. 19)

"Chiropractic came as an educator," he wrote on p. 465 of his 1910 text.

THANKS NAOMI!

A list dedicated to education is truly a chiropractic list.

I also like the following though I see a flaw:

"In joining, you must agree not to post any abusive, obscene, slanderous,
hateful, threatening, or any other material that may violate any
state/country laws. Flaming or 'infighting' will not be tolerated by the
list administrator. "
http://health. groups.yahoo. com/group/ ChiropracticAssi stants/

If only education (chiropractic) were that simple!

A FLAW...

Certainly "obscene" is easy to spot (I think) - but "abuse" and "slander"
are things to be PROVEN in courts of law USING "state/country laws"...

In the meantime, let THE CRUCIBLE OF DEBATE function.

"Flaming" can sometimes be confused with simply stating the truth plainly or
forcefully. The same goes for "infighting" - and "abuse."

Some KEY "flaming" and "infighting" went on last century as Dr. DD Palmer
was CENSORED.

Wardwell [1992] quotes Terrett [1986] regarding the censorship of DD's
work...

"All copies [of DD's The Chiropractor' s Adjuster (1910)] were quickly
bought
up and destroyed. You could not get a copy anyplace at any price. In fact,
you could not find a copy for 'love or money.' The leaders of the
profession did not want the world to know anything about the teachings of
old Dr. Daniel D. Palmer...The early leaders then greatly distorted their
founder's science, philosophy and vision for chiropractic. .." [Wardwell WI.
Chiropractic: History and Evolution of a New Profession. St.
Louis: Mosby. 1992:101 quoting Terrett Allen CJ. The genius of DD Palmer.
Journal of the Australian
Chiropractors' Association. 1986;16(4):150- 58.]

I have seen professional descendants of those who censored DD cry "abuse!"
and "infighting! " in an attempt silence the truth about Dr. DD Palmer's
chiropractic.

BABY STROKES: DID ACREU's J. DAVID CASSIDY LIE?

>>>>BEGIN excerpt of:
>>>>http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/1958

Sharon J. Mathiason [a coroner's inquest determined she lost her daughter to
spinal manipulation] writes:

"In the Globe and Mail article [chiropractor and] co-author David Cassidy is
quoted 'Has it ever happened that a chiropractor has caused a stroke? I
can't
say it's never happened. But if it's happening, it's not happening at a
greater risk than when it is at a GP office'...Well guess what, chiropractor
David Cassidy admitted on the stand [at the coroner's inquest] into the
death of my daughter they [sic] he had manipulated the neck of a woman and
caused a stroke..."
http://www.chirowatch.com/Chiro-strokes/gm080120stroke.html

If Ms. Mathiason has her facts straight, Dr. Cassidy lied by omission; that
is, if he himself caused a stroke with spinal manipulation, he should have
told the Globe and Mail.

DR. CASSIDY IS **DEFINITELY** LYING BY OMISSION - REMAINING SILENT ABOUT
BABY STROKES WHICH ARE QUITE COMMON YET NOT MENTIONED IN DR. CASSIDY'S

Sandra Nette was paralyzed right after a spinal manipulation - after YEARS
of spinal manipulations - maybe this means that the spinal manipulation did
NOT do the damage?

I suspect Dr. Greg Stiles' spinal manipulation of Sandra Nette's neck -
which was likely JUST like all his manipulations (and like all mine years
ago) which did NOT cause a stroke - DID cause Sandra's stroke and her
subsequent total paralysis - what do other DCs think?

See DEAD CHIROPRACTIC SOCIETY
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/1981

WHATEVER caused Sandra Nette's stroke and total paralysis - there she is -
in bed or a wheelchair for the rest of her life.

I hope David and Sandra's class action wins them compensation. I hope she
and others can be compensated also from the BILLIONS per year to be saved
**in the US** just by stopping the birth-canal-closing/spinal manipulation
of OBGYNs.

READERS: I see COMMERCIAL VALUE in this

I will send this email to various US Attorneys via surface mail this time.
Hopefully they will immediately initiate action at least to stop MEDICARE
from paying hospitals billions, in part to pay recently graduated medical
students (residents) to teach the birth-canal-closing/spinal manipulation
crime.

I have not heard from the NETTE vs. STILES attorneys.

I spoke to Atty Darryl Wilson and noted that the birth-canal-closing/spinal
manipulation of OBGYNs meets the WHO definition of "spinal manipulative
therapy"...

Maybe people just don't understand - or maybe they haven't been receiving my
emails. I got confirmations from various persons at FMC...

AGAIN:

READERS: I see COMMERCIAL VALUE in this
work. Share equally in
any QUI TAM earnings that may come my way from my idea of simply having
law enforcement stop BILLIONS per year in obvious ongoing medical
fraud: Simply sign: Hospital Child Abuse: DAs and AGs should end it
immediately...
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/hospital-child-abuse-das-and-ags-should-end-it-\
immediately

I will send this email to various US Attorneys via surface mail this time.
Hopefully they will immediately initiate action at least to stop MEDICARE
from paying hospitals billions, in part to pay recently graduated medical
students (residents) to teach the birth-canal-closing/spinal manipulation
crime.

Perhaps the Nette's attorneys - Wilson and Tinkler - can stimulate the US
Justice Department to stop the birth-canal-closing and initiate QUI TAM
actions...

CAN IT BE THAT BIRTH TRAUMA may predispose people to artery dissection
strokes later in life - with or without spinal manipulation? See below.

Onward first to other medical crime...other defrauding of the US
government...via MD/CDC vaccination promotion fraud involving PLANNED
endangerment of VACCINATED children...

Incredibly, MDs and CDC are lying by omission thereby (in effect) denying
massive numbers of babies massive numbers of free daily immunizations.

Sound incredible?

Onward to...

CHANGING ALL 50 STATE VACCINATION LAWS, PAT GAYMAN, DC AND "THE SOMEWHAT
VOLATILE SUBJECT OF VACCINATION"...

READERS (Doctors and CAs): Here is a subject for discussion at upcoming
Parker seminars (see the Parker discussion on ChiropracticAssistant list,
quoted at the end of this post)...

All vaccination books should note that MDs are fraudulently promoting
vaccination with a plan to endanger VACCINATED children during disease
outbreaks (see below).

All vaccination books should note that all 50 state vaccination laws need to
be changed immediately so that ALL children (not just vaccine-exempt
children) will be sent home/protected during disease outbreaks.

More below.

PAT GAYMAN, DC says she is "very biased about" vaccination: She says on her
website:

"The resources available here range from the somewhat volatile subject of
Vaccination which I am very biased about to..."
http://www.capacitycoach.com/resource/resources.htm

PAT,

I, too, am very biased about vaccination. I am biased IN FAVOR - as long as
parents are fully informed.

You seem to be similarly biased.

I clicked on your CapacityCoach.com advertisement in one of your posts to
ChiropracticAssistants list.

I found your mention of your vaccination book (see above) and clicked on
that link...

You write that people have a right to choose vaccination "armed with full
information," as in,

"Personally, I believe that every person has a right to make that choice
armed with full information..."
http://www.capacitycoach.com/resource/vaccine_book.htm

You indirectly indicate (correctly in my view) that "legally and morally" it
is wrong for drug companies and MDs to fail to inform, as in,

"Legally and morally I had no more right to make that decision than the drug
companies and allopaths who push vaccines to a poorly informed public."

I SAY AGAIN: If your vaccination book doesn't already note that MDs are
fraudulently promoting vaccination with a plan to endanger VACCINATED
children during disease outbreaks (see below) - I hope you will include this
fact - and the related fact that all 50 state vaccination laws need to be
changed immediately so that ALL children will be sent home/protected during
disease outbreaks.

You might also mention...

THE PROBLEM...

Law enforcement is looking the other way - and MDs know it.

Steve Harris, MD arrogantly boasts:

"Without enforcement, there is no law. Without law, there is no crime.
These are elementary principles. Get an adult to explain them to you."
http://groups.google.com/group/misc.kids.pregnancy/msg/
28866f3384801ae9

Dr. Harris's arrogant boast, just quoted, came in reply to my having
pointed out another massive MD crime: fraudulent vaccination promotion...

MDs are promoting PLANNED endangerment of VACCINATED children.

When parents ask about vaccine exemptions for their children, they are told
the bald lie that only their vaccine-exempt children need to be sent
home/protected during disease outbreaks.

Since many vaccinated children are not immunized by their vaccinations, ALL
children need to be sent home/protected during disease outbreaks.

All 50 state vaccination laws need to be changed immediately.

See TIME magazine on chiropractors vs. vaccination
http://groups.google.com/group/ misc.kids.pregnancy/msg/5d9a066386e4ef2f

As noted above, I am in FAVOR of vaccination - I am just not in favor of MDs
**fraudulently promoting vaccination** as they fail to promote breastfeeding
as free daily immunizations that reportedly make MD-needle-vaccinations work
better...

FRAUDULENT BREASTFEEDING PROMOTION BY MDs AND CDC...

MDs and CDC are failing to explicitly state that breastfeedings are
IMMUNIZATIONS

MDs and CDC should immediately start informing the public that breastfeeding
women scan for pathogens and manufacture IMMUNIZATIONS which they inject
with their breasts - daily.

CDC's vaunted National Immunization [sic] Program doesn't even call
breastfeedings immunizations or mention that breastfeeding women immunize
far more babies than MDs and reportedly make MD-needle-vaccinations work
better.

What woman informed of these simple facts is going to fail to at least
attempt to breastfeed/immunize her baby daily?

MDs are mysteriously ignoring a SIMPLE way to make the breastfeeding
(immunization) and vaccination rates skyrocket...

It's mass IMMUNOLOGIC child abuse.

Again Pat, if your vaccination book doesn't already note that MDs are
fraudulently promoting vaccination with a plan to endanger VACCINATED
children during disease outbreaks (see below) - I hope you will include this
fact - and the related fact that all 50 state vaccination laws need to be
changed immediately so that ALL children will be sent home/protected during
disease outbreaks.

Just out of curiosity, DOES your book note the fraudulent vaccination
promotion and call for overhaul of all 50 state vaccination laws?

Sorry to be so pointed but babies are sometimes DYING from their
vaccinations. Most all chiropractors seem to be ignoring the mass
immunologic child abuse as well as the fraudulent vaccination promotion...

...sort of like how most all chiropractors are ignoring babies sometimes
dying from the mass birth-canal-closing/SPINAL MANIPULATION crime of OBGYNs.

Chiropractic "leaders" have been making DELETIONS to evade addressing this
latter massive spinal manipulation crime.

FRAUD: Both the Canadian Chiropractic Association/CCA and the Society of
Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada/SOGC are ignoring OBVIOUSLY bad
(sometimes fatal) birth-canal-closing/spinal manipulation practiced by
OBGYNs...Check out the CCA and SOGC DELETIONS...
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/1944

PARKER SEMINARS...

As indicated above, the vaccination promotion fraud and the
birth-canal-closing/spinal manipulation by OBGYNS are topics that should be
openly discussed at upcoming Parker seminars.

In this regard Pat, I see that you will be giving a class on Spinal Anatomy
at the Parker Seminar in September.

You wrote to Naomi:

"I am delighted to hear that you will be at the Parker Seminar in September.
It will give us chance to meet in person. I hope you and the others will
also attend my class on Friday afternoon on Spinal Anatomy, etc.it is fun
and filled with philosophy!"

Lisa replied:

This is neat Pat, that we will get to meet everyone...We should all try to
meet up in one place-since I am at Parker, let
me see what we have drummed up for CAs. I know we're planning a CA
reception in Vegas-I'll look into Dallas. Naomi and anyone else who is
coming, look us up in our classes and introduce yourselves. Pat is doing
the Spinal Anatomy. I am doing E/M Codes and a class on "what to do on
Monday".

Scott Garber, DC replied:

Lisa
In Vegas and would love to meet others...."
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/ChiropracticAssistants/message/210

Pat, your Spinal Anatomy class at Parker would be a PERFECT place to review
SACROILIAC and UPPER CERVICAL spinal anatomy - and the possibility that
OBGYNs may be causing strokes in babies with their
birth-canal-closing/spinal manipulation crime.

As noted above, according to the 2005 edition of Functional Neuroanatomy by
Adel Afifi, MD and Ronald Bergman, PhD:

"The atlantoaxial segment is affected in fractures, dislocations,
subluxations, birth trauma, and chiropractic adjustments..."

Here is a fuller excerpt from Afifi and Bergman's 2005 edition of Functional
Neuroanatomy (I've added the words/letters in brackets):

"The [two] vertebral arter[ies]...arise...from the subclavian
arter[ies]...[and]...ascend...within the foramina of the transverse
processes of the upper six cervical vertebrae (intraosseous segment),
curve...backward around the lateral mass[es] of the atlas (atlanto-axial
segment), and enter...the cranium through the foramen magnum...The
intraosseous segment is affected by osteoarthritis and atherosclerosis. The
atlantoaxial segment is affected in fractures, dislocations, subluxations,
birth trauma, and chiropractic adjustments. The intracranial segment is
involved more frequently than other segments in thrombotic occlusions." p.
352

I say again to Drs. Afifi and Bergman, will you please email me the
references which support this statement - esp. the refs regarding
"subluxations, BIRTH TRAUMA and chiropractic adjustments"?

I'll also copy Scott Haldeman, DC, PhD, MD via Department of Neurology,
University of California, Irvine, USA via HaldemanMD@....

Dr. Haldeman et al. wrote in 1999:

"The literature does not assist in the
identification of the offending mechanical trauma, neck movement, or type of
manipulation precipitating vertebrobasilar artery dissection or the
identification of the patient at risk. Thus, given the current status of the
literature, it is impossible to advise patients or physicians about how to
avoid vertebrobasilar artery dissection when considering cervical
manipulation or about specific sports or exercises that result in neck
movement or trauma..." [Haldeman S, Kohlbeck FJ, McGregor M. Risk factors
and precipitating neck movements causing vertebrobasilar artery
dissection after cervical trauma and spinal manipulation. Spine. 1999 Apr
15;24(8):785-94. PubMed abstract.]

We could use a 2008 update from Haldeman et al. (Perhaps it already exists?)

Wolfgang Freund, MD et al. write about,

"MRI-based separation of congenital and acquired vertebrobasilar artery
anomalies in ischemic stroke of the posterior circulation...In 40% of all
patients with posterior ischemia, the True Fast Imaging in Steady State

and Ronald Bergman, PhD...

"The atlantoaxial segment [of the vertebral artery] is affected in
fractures, dislocations, subluxations, birth trauma, and chiropractic

Drs. Freund et al., could it be possible that birth-canal-closed/spinal
manpulation by OBGYNs is contributing to strokes later in life following
spinal manipulation?

Assuming my long-shot here is correct, could one use MRI to distinguish
between congenital/acquired-at-birth vertebrobasilar artery anomalies and
occlusion acquired later in life?

I have been away from this part of chiropractic for so long - forgive me if
I am asking a stupid question.

"HISTORY OF BIRTH TRAUMA" mentioned in a case of "Traumatic vertebrobasilar
occlusive disease in childhood":

"Vigorous gymnastics and repeated manipulations of the cervical spine by a
chiropractor were associated with headaches and transient cranial nerve
deficits in a 7-year-old boy who had a history of birth trauma."

MOTHER developed "dissections of both vetebral arteries" after birth...

Oehler wrote in 2003:

A 37-year-old woman suffered from middle cerebral artery infarction
secondary to dissection of the left internal carotid artery. Nine days
before, a cesarean section had been performed on her after 20 h of
unsuccessful labor. Cerebral angiography at admission revealed no further
vascular abnormalities. A few days later, however, the patient developed
additional dissections of the right internal carotid artery and both
vertebral arteries. Pregnancy, childbirth, and a history of rheumatoid
arthritis in this patient may have contributed to the dissections; however,
due to the unknown etiology of cervical dissections, the pathogenetic
contribution of all of these factors is incompletely understood.
Oehler J, Lichy Ch, Gandjour J, Fiebach J, Grau AJ.
Nervenarzt. 2003 Apr;74(4):366-9. PubMed abstract.

NOTE: If this 37-year-old had received upper cervical manipulations from a
doctor of chiropractic between her birth and her vertebral artery
dissections, spinal manipulation would have likely been blamed.

"[CAROTID ARTERY] DISSECTION COULD BE SUSPECTED FOLLOWING VACUUM AND FORCEPS
EXTRACTION"

Lequin et al. wrote in 2004:

"Arterial stroke in a neonate caused by carotid artery dissection is rare.
We report two cases, one with dissection at the level of the skull base, one
just distal to the carotid bulb. Non-invasive techniques like MR angiography
and sonography demonstrated the dissection accurately. MR imaging,
especially the diffusion-weighted images, showed the extension and site of
the cerebral infarction. In one case dissection could be suspected following
vacuum and forceps extraction. In the other no obvious birth trauma was
reported. In conclusion, in a neonate with clinical signs suggestive of
cerebral infarction, dissection of the carotid artery should be considered."

"HORNER'S SYNDROME [AND CAROTID DISSECTION] AFTER THE REPEATED APPLICATION
OF BIRTHING FORCEPS..."

Robertson and Pettigrew wrote in 2003:

"The authors describe a child presenting with Horner's syndrome after the
repeated application of birthing forceps to the head and neck during vaginal
delivery. Magnetic resonance imaging and angiography confirmed that the
proximal right internal carotid artery (ICA) showed injury caused by
dissection. Carotid duplex and transcranial ultrasonography provided
supporting evidence of distal right ICA occlusion with the development of
intracranial collaterals. The authors interpret these findings to indicate
that the child suffered a traumatic dissection of the distal right ICA to
mimic "congenital" Horner's syndrome (CHS). In a review of English medical
literature published since 1972, the authors found 70 cases of CHS, none of
which was attributed to carotid dissection. This case demonstrates that
carotid dissection is an underreported cause of CHS."

"MOST DISSECTIONS HEAL SPONTANEOUSLY AND THE ASSOCIATED ANEURYSMS NEVER
RUPTURE AND RARELY CAUSE DELAYED ISCHEMIC SYMPTOMS"

Schievink wrote in 2000:

"Spontaneous dissections of the carotid and vertebral arteries in the neck
are a common cause of stroke in young and middle-aged people. Moreover, they
are increasingly recognized as the cause of a wide variety of other, more
subtle, neurologic signs and symptoms. The cause of these arterial
dissections largely remains unexplained but probably involves a combination
of genetic and environmental factors. Magnetic resonance imaging has largely
surpassed angiography as the imaging study of choice. The treatment of
carotid and vertebral artery dissections is based on rather incomplete
evidence. Anticoagulation with heparin followed by warfarin remains the
treatment of choice in most major medical centers and is supported by the
demonstration of emboli as the most common cause of stroke in these
patients. The burgeoning interest in endovascular techniques has resulted in
many patients being treated for carotid and vertebral artery dissections
with percutaneous angioplasty and stent deployment. Although the treatment
of dissections is generally well tolerated and the radiographic results are
impressive, most dissections heal spontaneously and the associated aneurysms
never rupture and rarely cause delayed ischemic symptoms. Surgical treatment
of dissections, consisting of an in situ interposition graft or
extracranial-intracranial bypass, is indicated only for those patients with
persistent symptoms refractory to maximal medical therapy who are not
candidates for endovascular treatment."

Again: According Schievink:

"MOST DISSECTIONS HEAL SPONTANEOUSLY AND THE ASSOCIATED ANEURYSMS NEVER

I say again to Drs. Freund et al. (and everyone else reading), could it be
possible that birth-canal-closed/spinal manpulation by OBGYNs is
contributing to strokes later in life following spinal manipulation - or
following other trivial and non-trivial trauma?

Assuming my long-shot here is correct, could one use MRI to distinguish
between congenital/acquired-at-birth vertebrobasilar artery anomalies and
occlusion acquired later in life?

Regardless, please help me stop OBGYNs from closing birth canals and KEEPING
birth canals closed when babies get stuck - as they pull with
forceps/vacuums (1 in 10 births) - sometimes pulling so hard they rip spinal
nerves out of tiny spinal cords.

Thanks for reading everyone.

I SAY AGAIN:

The Arthritis Community Research & Evaluation Unit (ACREU) MISSION:

"To ameliorate the adverse impact of arthritis on individuals, their
families and the population through comprehensive research leading to the
development of innovative programs and policies."
http://www.acreu.ca/about.html

What about PREVENTION of arthritis?

What about prevention of FALLS IN THE ELDERLY?

SQUATTING is one way to allow the birth canal to open the "extra" up to 30%.
(But note: Women do NOT have to squat to offer their babies the "extra" up
to 30% - see above.)

SQUATTING also may be a way to prevent HIP OSTEOARTHRITIS

And squatting into adulthood may prevent FALLS IN THE ELDERLY.

DIANNE: I have a call in to CDC's Dr. Stevens. She has not gotten back to
me yet. Will you please forward this email to her?

Thanks in advance.

PLEASE help stop the birth-canal-closing/spinal manipulation crime of
OBGYNs.

I would like the CDC Injury Center (Dr. Arias, Director) take the lead.

As noted above, I am in favor of pardons in advance for OBGYNs. As medical
students, OBGYNs are TRAINED to perform felonies. OB Lie #4 is a
particularly vicious lie. It's part of ACOG's Shoulder Dystocia training
video which purports to show OBGYNs how to allow birth canals to open
maximally when babies get stuck - which is the indirect VIDEO ADMISSION that
OBGYNs know they are routinely closing birth canals the "extra" up to 30%.

OBGYNs **admit** the birth-canal-closing on video - and we can't stop them?!

I don't believe it.

The massive OBGYN birth-canal-closing crime could end tomorrow.

We are talking about the tiniest chiropractic patients - some of them are
DYING.

Thanks for reading everyone.

Sincerely,

Todd
