Sara,
Please forgive this Open Letter in response to your private email (see
below); but babies are being forced to suffer needlessly and some are
being killed or paralyzed.
BE ADVISED: Semisitting closes the birth up to 30%.
WORSE: OBGYNs and midwives KEEP birth canals closed up to 30% (keep
women semisitting) when babies get stuck and hands/forceps/vacuums are
used to pull (1 in 10 births) - with some OBGYNs and midwives pulling
so hard they rip spinal nerves out of tiny spinal cords.
You wrote that you "avoid 'pulling' babies out," saying that you
recommend any position that is "most comfortable" and "makes the most
difference in how well they push out the baby - with the least
complications and effort." As noted above, babies tolerate BRAIN
BLEEDS well. One MRI study found asymptomatic brain bleeds in 26% of
babies born vaginally.
See MRI: Brain bleeds in 26% of vaginal births (Looney et al. 2007)
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.med/msg/6746b6292cae7566
Some babies are DYING and OBGYNs are LYING to cover-up.
For the Four OB Lies (they are whoppers)...
See Dents in babies' skulls
http://groups.google.com/group/misc.kids.pregnancy/msg/08abfc7ff242150e
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) admits
on video that it KNOWS obstetricians are routinely closing birth
canals up to 30%: ACOG's Shoulder Dystocia training video purports to
demonstrate how to allow the birth canal to open maximally when
babies' shoulders get stuck - which is the video admission that OBGYNs
know they are routinely closing birth canals up to 30%.
THE KICKER: ACOG's Shoulder Dystocia training video has already been
ruled exempt from the hearsay rule; which means law enforcement could
immediately end the massive birth-canal-closing/spinal manipulation
crime of OBGYNs and midwives - no OBGYN or midwife experts necessary.
Sadly, three successive US Attorneys for the District of Oregon
(Immergut, Robinson, Holton) are remaining silent and five federal
judges (Brown, Hubel, Silverman, W. Fletcher, Murguia) are going along
with the ongoing sometimes-fatal birth-canal-closing gag.
If you are interested in the specific cases where this and other
massive crimes are being ignored by law enforcement and the
judiciary...
See *THE* fluoride lie (the HHS/CDC/EPA version; also: the QUILES
faucet fraud)
http://groups.google.com/group/misc.health.alternative/msg/f4e80e68bb8139c3
(*THE* fluoride lie is HHS/CDC/EPA failure to inform Americans that
the pristine euphemism "fluoridation" conceals the fact that American
children are being forced to drink extremely dilute hazardous waste
with arsenic and lead even though EPA's Maximum Contaminant Level Goal
for both arsenic and lead is ZERO - which means that "fluoridation" is
rather obvious arsenic/lead poisoning child abuse by municipalities.
Not even licensed doctors can force arsenic/lead/fluoride medication -
even if arsenic/lead/fluoride medication is deemed good for people.
This massive medical crime is just as obvious as medicine's birth-
canal-closing/spinal manipulation crime. I SAY AGAIN: Even as OBGYNs
tell obvious lies to cover-up, the American College of Obstetricians
and Gynecologists (ACOG) admits on video that it KNOWS obstetricians
are routinely closing birth canals up to 30% - and ACOG's Shoulder
Dystocia training video has already been ruled exempt from the hearsay
rule.)
Again, please forgive this Open Letter. Babies are being forced to
suffer needlessly and some are being killed or paralyzed.
I'm guessing that your naturopathic obstetrics/midwifery training just
did not inform you that semisitting closes the birth canal up to 30%.
With law enforcement and the judiciary looking the other way (see
above)...
I urge you speak out - and urge others to speak out - and keep
speaking out - until the massive birth-canal-closing crime ends.
Surely all naturopathic obstetricians/midwives can agree that OBGYNs
and midwives should not be KEEPING birth canals closed up to 30% when
babies get stuck and hands/forceps/vacuums are used to pull (1 in 10
births).
Again: Some babies are DYING and OBGYNs are LYING to cover-up.
Thanks for your immediate attention to this matter.

PS I'VE INTERSPERSED #### FURTHER COMMENTS IN YOUR "MISSION STATEMENT"
AND "PURPOSE OF ORGANIZATION"...
http://www.naturopathicmidwives.com/missionandvision.htm
Mission Statement
AANM is an organization that exists to unify, support, safeguard,
build and educate the current and future community of naturopathic
midwives.
#### Please IMMEDIATELY/PUBLICLY educate the current and future
community of naturopathic midwives: SEMISITTING CLOSES THE BIRTH CANAL
UP TO 30% and OBGYNs/midwives have been KEEPING birth canals closed up
to 30% as they pull with hands/forceps/vacuums (1 in 10 births).
It is our intention to communicate the unique advantages of
naturopathic midwifery to the general public as well as to our elected
officials.
#### Openly/publicly educating naturopathic midwives will also educate
the general public and elected officials.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose of Organization
An organization that exists to organize naturopathic doctors who
specialize in midwifery.
#### Organize your fellow naturopathic doctors (midwives or not) to
end the birth-canal-closing. Make naturopathic colleges the first to
openly teach that semisitting and dorsal delivery positions close the
birth canal up to 30%.
An organization that promotes midwifery in the professional realm
while making sure that naturopathic midwives maintain their status in
the states they are licensed in.
#### The status of naturopathic midwives will increase when they speak
out to stop OBGYNs from lying to cover-up the obvious crime.
A vital and exciting organization that organizes naturopathic midwives
in a successful and directed way by providing licensing standards,
researching statistics pertinent to the profession and providing
support materials for legislators, students and naturopaths.
#### A new licensing standard that declares that semisitting and
dorsal close the birth canal up to 30% and states how easy it is for
women to allow their birth canals to OPEN the "extra" up to 30% -
would be a GREAT "support material" for legislators, students and
naturopaths.
An organization that exists to differentiate naturopathic midwives
from other midwives as well as to educate themselves (new and old
practitioners), provide a strong foundation for students, encourages
and promotes enrollment naturopathic midwife training, provides a
handbook for naturopaths and focuses on getting published in
journals.
#### Yes do differentiate naturopathic midwives from other midwives.
#### Other PROMINENT midwives - both direct-entry (Jan Tritten,
Midwifery Today) - and CNM (Helen Varney Burst) - remained silent when
I pointed out the birth-canal-closing to them. Jan Tritten cancelled
my full-length article and actually PROMOTED semisitting - and Helen
Varney Burst KEPT promoting semisitting (in her midwifery text).
An organization that focuses on internal and external education, that
builds a support system for fellow naturopathic midwives, that
provides support materials for the public, the legislators and
practicing naturopathic midwives, that also provides a consensus of
care for practitioners and finally that gives a legal presence for
naturopathic midwives.
#### Education - internal and external education - is a GREAT focus.
Babies about to be pushed/pulled through birth canals senselessly
closed up to 30% deserve IMMEDIATE education of "the public, the
legislators and practicing naturopathic midwives."
#### BABIES deserve "a legal presence." Law enforcement and the
judiciary (see above) need to be exposed in their sometimes-fatal
child-abuse-perpetuating foot-dragging.
An organization that focuses on continuing education for practicing
naturopathic midwives as well as education for potential professors,
students, influential legislators and the general public. An
organization that also provides a network for practicing naturopathic
midwives that includes peer reviews, CEUs and outreach and education.
#### Yes, CONTINUE educating everyone (including "outreach and
education"). Surely everyone will agree that OBGYNs and midwives
should not be KEEPING birth canals closed up to 30% when babies get
stuck and hands/forceps/vacuums are used to pull (1 in 10 births) -
with some babies DYING and OBGYNs LYING to cover-up.
#### I CONTACTED YOU REGARDING THE PSEUDONYMOUS RETIRED SURGEON "ORAC"
CRITICIZING NATUROPATHIC OBSTETRICS...
#### YOU REPLIED...
-----Original Message-----
naturopathic obstetricians/midwives have stopped the practice of

CRITICIZING NATUROPATHIC OBSTETRICS...
Sara,
You've probably already heard, but just in case you haven't...
On Oct. 28, a pseudonymous retired surgeon ("Orac") criticized you and
naturopathic obstetrics...
See "Naturopathic obstetrics"? Be afraid. Be very afraid.
http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2011/10/naturopathic_obstetrics.php#more
I scanned the comments and didn't see a response from you (or any
naturopathic obstetricians - but maybe I just scanned too fast).
Todd
PS May I know... Do you ever place women semisitting or dorsal to push
their babies out - or when you use hands/forceps/vacuums to pull?

I don't use forceps and avoid "pulling" babies out. But do recommend that
women push them out in the position that is most comfortable for them and
that makes te most difference in how well they push out the baby - with
least complications and effort.
So yes, semi-sitting, birth stool, squatting, hands and knees - whatever
works for them. As long as the baby tolerates it well.
Hope that answers your question. Thanks so much for passing this along to
