Lawrence,

Assuming, as you say, that migraine is not psychological - and that less
than 30% of what there is to know is known...

It seems logical to look at BIRTH TRAUMA and the fact that MDs are routinely
closing birth c****s up to 30% and violently conducting births.

An estimated 4.6% of "healthy" term neonates are suffering unexplained brain
bleeds...

I theorize that birth trauma may be causing posttraumatic migraines in
babies or *triggering* migraines in babies who suffer an inherited
susceptibility to migraines.

evidence that MDs and RNs are closing birth c****s up to 30%...)

Although I am clearly biased toward my own theorizing...

With MDs closing birth c****s up to 30% and conducting many violent
births...

With many "healthy" babies suffering unexplained brain bleeds and "colic"...

I do *not* think my theories "crackpot" - especially since - as you say -
"We do not know everything [about migraine], or even 30% of what is to
know..."

Nor do I think myself a "troll" for persisting in publishing my
theorizing...(then again, as noted above, I am clearly biased)...

Do you think my theories are "crackpot"??

Do you join Nurse Hawki in thinking that DCs cannot protest MDs closing
birth c****s up to 30%?

Why don't YOU protest MDs closing birth c****s up to 30%?

BTW Lawrence, my 30% figure derives from x-ray studies which were recently
supported by an MRI study - which found - in effect - that MDs are closing
birth c****s "significantly."

PREGNANT WOMEN! It's EASY to open your birth c**** an "extra" up to
30%!

Just roll onto your side as you push your baby out! PLEASE talk to your MD
about this NOW...

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 c****s (!) at
the very worst possible moment (as the baby is coming out)...

GRUESOME SPINAL MANIPULATION BY MDs (and MBs)...

MDs routinely pull "gently"/gruesomely on babies' heads sticking out
******s/birth c****s senselessly closed up to 30%.

(ALL spinal manipulation of fetuses is gruesome with the birth c**** closed
up to 30%.)

UNNECESSARY EPIDURALS...

MDs routinely cause uteri to PUSH with birth c****s senselessly closed up to
30% and in many births MDs chemically whip uteri to push harder/VIOLENTLY -
with oxytocin and Cytotec - with birth c****s senselessly closed up to 30%!

No wonder some women literally BEG for epidurals!

UNNECESSARY FORCEPS/VACUUM EXTRACTIONS...

In 10 to 15% of births
MDs reach INSIDE ******s - with forceps/vacuum extractors - and drag babies
out through birth c****s senselessly closed up to 30%!

Sometimes MDs pull so hard they rip spinal nerves out of tiny spinal cords!

MDs may occasionally be pulling the brain/cerebellum into the upper cervical

CHIARI SKULL SURGERY: FIBROMYALGICS STILL HOPING?

--Spine, skull surgery may help many with CFIDS
By David Hoh
http://www.cfids.org/archives/1999/1999-3-article03.asp


SIDS...

It has been suggested in the medical literature that a small or distorted
posterior cranial fossa might be required for the Chiari malformation:

"These results support the opinion, which claims the
existence of underdevelopment of the occipital bone and posterior fossa in
patients with Chiari type I malformation."
[Karagoz F, Izgi N, Kapijcijoglu Sencer S.
Acta Neurochir (Wien). 2002 Feb;144(2):165-71]

"[R]elationship between the skull base and...Chiari type I malformation
(CMI),*****key role in a small size of posterior cranial
fossa..."[Krupina NE, Beloded VM. [Zh Nevrol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova.
2002;102(8):3-7. PubMed abstract]

It occurs to me that MDs "spraining" brain support structures at birth PLUS
iatrogenic positional plagiocephaly (to prevent SIDS^^^) - may cause a
smaller or distorted posterior cranial fossa (or a smaller brain case
overall) - and result in some cases of fibromyalgia (assuming some
fibromyalgia is related to Chiari)...

Of course, MDs "spraining" brain support structures - and mothers causing
positional plagiocephaly spontaneously - could also have been causing a
smaller or
distorted posterior cranial fossa (or a smaller brain case overall) all
along - and
some cases of fibromyalgia (assuming some fibromyalgia is related to
Chiari) all along...

Does anyone know whether positional plagiocephaly causes a smaller or
distorted posterior cranial fossa (or a smaller brain case overall)?

I'll cc: wendy.biggs@midmichigan.org who writes: "In children with
positional head deformity (posterior plagiocephaly), the
occiput is flattened with corresponding facial asymmetry. The incidence of
positional head deformity increased dramatically between 1992 and 1999, and
now occurs in one of every 60 live births. One proposed cause of the
increased incidence of positional head deformity is the initiative to place
infants on their backs during sleep to prevent sudden infant death syndrome.
With early detection and intervention, most positional head deformities can
be treated conservatively with physical therapy or a head orthosis
("helmet").[Biggs W. Am Fam Physician. 2003 May 1;67(9):1953-6. PubMed
abstract]

^^^Quoting the American Academy of Pediatrics/AAP writes:

"There is some suggestion that the incidence of babies developing a flat
spot on their occiputs may have increased since the incidence of prone
sleeping
has decreased. This is almost always a benign condition, which will
disappear within several months after the baby has begun to sit up..."

TRACTION OF BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD - PRIMARY ROLE OF BIRTH TRAUMA...

"...type 1 Arnold-Chiari malformation

What if distortion of the skull for several months makes it more difficult
for the brain to recover (retract fully into the brain case) following birth trauma?

University of Missouri Chiari Clinic, say fibromyalgia patients should be
cautious about assuming they may have Chiari malformation...First, Oro and
Mueller say, people who believe they may have Chiari malformation should
undergo a basic neurologic exam from a neurologist or neurosurgeon
experienced at diagnosing Chiari...If someone indeed has Chiari
malformation, this exam, and an MRI of the brain and brainstem, will reveal
it..."I think the lay public has become a little misled," says Mueller, a
nurse practitioner. "They're sure we're going to have a cure for
fibromyalgia."<<

UNNECESSARY CESAREAN SECTIONS...

MDs close birth c****s - CAUSE "cephalopelvic disproportion" - then perform
major abdominal surgeries called c-sections BEcause of "cephalopelvic
disproportion!

UNNECESSARY EPISIOTOMIES...

MDs routinely slash ******s (euphemism "routine
episiotomy") -
surgically/FRAUDULENTLY inferring that everything possible is being done to
OPEN birth c****s - even as they CLOSE birth c****s up to 30%!

MDs offer women "generous" episiotomies when the baby's shoulders get
stuck...

The American College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists/ACOG
indirectly ADMITS that MDs are routinely closing birth c****s - why *else*
would ACOG's Shoulder Dystocia video show MDs how to OPEN the birth c****
maximally when the shoulders get stuck?

Unfortunately, ACOG's Shoulder Dystocia video method of "opening" the
birth
c**** maximally - KEEPS THE BIRTH C**** CLOSED!

CANADIAN OBs ARE AS BAD AS AMERICAN OBs...

ACOG's grisly, ostensible birth c**** opening method involves flexing the
thighs on the abdomen.

This is "proper" McRoberts maneuver - which actually closes the birth c****
with more force than semisitting (!)...

IMPROPER McRoberts (not pictured in the ACOG video mentioned above) involves
rolling the woman *off her sacrum* which OPENS the birth c****.

WHY isn't ACOG ********ly promoting IMPROPER McRoberts - and the reason it
is good? For the most likely reason, see HERE'S THE PROBLEM, below.

The Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada (SOGC) claims that
flexing the thighs on the abdomen (and semisitting) are biomechanically like
squatting. (!)

The Canadian OBs think semisitting is better than dorsal; in fact,
semisitting only closes the birth c**** with more force. (!)

Heres the relevant SOGC quote...

"UPRIGHT OR SEMI-SITTING POSTURE [retains some mechanical advantages
of]...[sq]uatting [which] has...been shown radiographically to increase the
pelvic outlet measurements
by 0.5 to 1.5 cm. Flexing the thighs against
the abdomen also contributes to increasing the diameter
of the pelvis in the sagittal plane and thus the sitting,
semi-sitting and exaggerated lithotomy positions retain
some of these mechanical advantagesThe traditional lithotomy position
commonly used
in obstetric units can certainly be modified to obtain a
semi-sitting posture and hence achieve the benefit
derived from the upright position (p. 58)...
Upright (semi-sitting, squatting) and left lateral
postures have many points in their favour, and
should be encouraged. In contrast, the traditional lithotomy
position has distinct disadvantages and should
therefore be reserved for cases of operative delivery.
The lithotomy position can often be modified to a semisitting
position for most purposes to avoid the adverse
haemodynamic consequences of supine position and to
benefit, at least in part, from a more upright posture.(p. 54)...

SOGC CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINES
POLICY STATEMENT No. 71, December 1998
http://www.sogc.org/SOGCnet/sogc_docs/common/guide/pdfs/healthybegeng.pdf

A few last notes about the just-quoted SOGC policy statement...

Squatting has never been "shown radiographically to increase the
pelvic outlet measurements by 0.5 to 1.5 cm" - but clinical and x-ray
studies do indicate that semisitting and dorsal CLOSE the birth c**** - up
to 30%.

The biomechanics are quite simple and easily detectable clinically:

In 1911, J. Whitridge Williams, MD, original author of Williams Obstetrics
reported a woman in whom the sacral tip moved 4 cm!

In 1913, Harvard obstetrician/anthropologist Arthur B Emmons, MD noted:

"[M]oving backward of the tip of the sacrum...enlarges the available space
not merely directly in proportion to the distance backward, but more nearly
by the square of that distance." [Emmons, AB. A study of the variations in
the female pelvis, based on observations made on 217 specimens of the
American Indian squaw. Biometrika 1913; 9:34-47.]

In 1969, British consultant radiologist JGB Russell used an x-ray study by
Borell and Fernström's [1957] and mathematically calculated that allowing
the sacrum
and pelvis to move affords a 20-30% potential increase in pelvic outlet
area, as in,

"[T]he outlet increases with moulding by approximately 20-30 per cent."
[Russell JGB. Moulding of the pelvic
outlet. J Obstet Gynaec Brit Cwlth 1969;76:817-20.

In 1973, Ohlsén used Borell and Fernström's original AP measurements, and on
Borell and Fernstrom's 1957 intrapartum films verified Russell's 20%
figure. [Ohlsén H. Moulding of the pelvis during labour. Acta Radiol Diag
1973;14:417-434]

This was the 1973 paper in which Ohlsén noted that Williams Obstetrics was
still claiming that there were NO changes in the pelvic diameters at
delivery.

When I tried to get Canadian obstetrician Murray Enkin, MD to *clearly*
(usefully) state the fact that clinical and x-ray evidence indicates that
semisitting and dorsal close the birth c**** - he censored his own book!

Enkin "justified" his self-censorship by mentioning "the Lilford group" -
which had conducted obviously BOGUS x-ray studies!

Enkin's colleague, British evidence-based guru Sir Iain Chalmers, MD went
along with the anti-scientific gag!

Hopefully Lilford's colleague, BJOG International's Jim Thornton, will
finally call attention to the massive grisly medical fraud.

It occurs to me that MDs "spraining" brain support structures at birth PLUS
iatrogenic positional plagiocephaly (to prevent SIDS^^^) - may cause a
smaller or distorted posterior cranial fossa (or a smaller brain case
overall) - and result in some cases of fibromyalgia (assuming some

Of course, MDs "spraining" brain support structures - and mothers causing
positional plagiocephaly spontaneously - could also have been causing a
smaller or
distorted posterior cranial fossa (or a smaller brain case overall) all

some cases of fibromyalgia (assuming some fibromyalgia is related to
Chiari) all along...

Does anyone know whether positional plagiocephaly causes a smaller or
distorted posterior cranial fossa (or a smaller brain case overall)?

I'll cc: wendy.biggs@midmichigan.org who writes: "In children with
positional head deformity (posterior plagiocephaly), the

CANADIAN OBs ARE AS BAD AS AMERICAN OBs...

ACOG's grisly, ostensible birth c**** opening method involves flexing the
thighs on the abdomen.

This is "proper" McRoberts maneuver - which actually closes the birth c****
with more force than semisitting (!)...

IMPROPER McRoberts (not pictured in the ACOG video mentioned above) involves
rolling the woman *off her sacrum* which OPENS the birth c****.

WHY isn't ACOG ********ly promoting IMPROPER McRoberts - and the reason it
is good? For the most likely reason, see HERE'S THE PROBLEM, below.

The Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada (SOGC) claims that
flexing the thighs on the abdomen (and semisitting) are biomechanically like
squatting. (!)

The Canadian OBs think semisitting is better than dorsal; in fact,
semisitting only closes the birth c**** with more force. (!)

Heres the relevant SOGC quote...

"UPRIGHT OR SEMI-SITTING POSTURE [retains some mechanical advantages
of]...[sq]uatting [which] has...been shown radiographically to increase the
pelvic outlet measurements
by 0.5 to 1.5 cm. Flexing the thighs against
the abdomen also contributes to increasing the diameter
of the pelvis in the sagittal plane and thus the sitting,
semi-sitting and exaggerated lithotomy positions retain
some of these mechanical advantagesThe traditional lithotomy position
commonly used
in obstetric units can certainly be modified to obtain a
semi-sitting posture and hence achieve the benefit
derived from the upright position (p. 58)...
Upright (semi-sitting, squatting) and left lateral
postures have many points in their favour, and
should be encouraged. In contrast, the traditional lithotomy
position has distinct disadvantages and should
therefore be reserved for cases of operative delivery.
The lithotomy position can often be modified to a semisitting
position for most purposes to avoid the adverse
haemodynamic consequences of supine position and to
benefit, at least in part, from a more upright posture.(p. 54)...

SOGC CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINES
POLICY STATEMENT No. 71, December 1998
http://www.sogc.org/SOGCnet/sogc_docs/common/guide/pdfs/healthybegeng.pdf

A few last notes about the just-quoted SOGC policy statement...

Squatting has never been "shown radiographically to increase the
pelvic outlet measurements by 0.5 to 1.5 cm" - but clinical and x-ray
studies do indicate that semisitting and dorsal CLOSE the birth c**** - up
to 30%.

The biomechanics are quite simple and easily detectable clinically:

In 1911, J. Whitridge Williams, MD, original author of Williams Obstetrics
reported a woman in whom the sacral tip moved 4 cm!

In 1913, Harvard obstetrician/anthropologist Arthur B Emmons, MD noted:

"[M]oving backward of the tip of the sacrum...enlarges the available space
not merely directly in proportion to the distance backward, but more nearly
by the square of that distance." [Emmons, AB. A study of the variations in
the female pelvis, based on observations made on 217 specimens of the
American Indian squaw. Biometrika 1913; 9:34-47.]

In 1969, British consultant radiologist JGB Russell used an x-ray study by
Borell and Fernström's [1957] and mathematically calculated that allowing
the sacrum
and pelvis to move affords a 20-30% potential increase in pelvic outlet
area, as in,

"[T]he outlet increases with moulding by approximately 20-30 per cent."
[Russell JGB. Moulding of the pelvic
outlet. J Obstet Gynaec Brit Cwlth 1969;76:817-20.

In 1973, Ohlsén used Borell and Fernström's original AP measurements, and on
Borell and Fernstrom's 1957 intrapartum films verified Russell's 20%
figure. [Ohlsén H. Moulding of the pelvis during labour. Acta Radiol Diag
1973;14:417-434]

This was the 1973 paper in which Ohlsén noted that Williams Obstetrics was
still claiming that there were NO changes in the pelvic diameters at
delivery.

When I tried to get Canadian obstetrician Murray Enkin, MD to *clearly*
(usefully) state the fact that clinical and x-ray evidence indicates that
semisitting and dorsal close the birth c**** - he censored his own book!

Enkin "justified" his self-censorship by mentioning "the Lilford group" -
which had conducted obviously BOGUS x-ray studies!

Enkin's colleague, British evidence-based guru Sir Iain Chalmers, MD went
along with the anti-scientific gag!

Hopefully Lilford's colleague, BJOG International's Jim Thornton, will
finally call attention to the massive grisly medical fraud.

Lawrence,

Assuming, as you say, that migraine is not psychological - and that less
than 30% of what there is to know is known...

It seems logical to look at BIRTH TRAUMA and the fact that MDs are routinely
closing birth c****s up to 30% and violently conducting births.

An estimated 4.6% of "healthy" term neonates are suffering unexplained brain

I theorize that birth trauma may be causing posttraumatic migraines in
babies or *triggering* migraines in babies who suffer an inherited
susceptibility to migraines.

(Nurse Hawki ostensibly published a "rebuttal" of my theories - but I never
saw it. Lawrence, if you saw Nurse Hawki's "rebuttal," would you send it to
me along with the URL? She seemed to reject the fact that there is x-ray
evidence that MDs and RNs are closing birth c****s up to 30%...)

Although I am clearly biased toward my own theorizing...

With MDs closing birth c****s up to 30% and conducting many violent
births...

With many "healthy" babies suffering unexplained brain bleeds and "colic"...

I do *not* think my theories "crackpot" - especially since - as you say -
"We do not know everything [about migraine], or even 30% of what is to
know..."

Nor do I think myself a "troll" for persisting in publishing my
theorizing...(then again, as noted above, I am clearly biased)...

Do you think my theories are "crackpot"??

Do you join Nurse Hawki in thinking that DCs cannot protest MDs closing
birth c****s up to 30%?

Why don't YOU protest MDs closing birth c****s up to 30%?

BTW Lawrence, my 30% figure derives from x-ray studies which were recently
supported by an MRI study - which found - in effect - that MDs are closing
birth c****s "significantly."

PREGNANT WOMEN! It's EASY to open your birth c**** an "extra" up to
30%!

Just roll onto your side as you push your baby out! PLEASE talk to your MD
about this NOW...

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 c****s (!) 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"...)

GRUESOME SPINAL MANIPULATION BY MDs (and MBs)...

MDs routinely pull "gently"/gruesomely on babies' heads sticking out
******s/birth c****s senselessly closed up to 30%.

(ALL spinal manipulation of fetuses is gruesome with the birth c**** closed
up to 30%.)

UNNECESSARY EPIDURALS...

MDs routinely cause uteri to PUSH with birth c****s senselessly closed up to
30% and in many births MDs chemically whip uteri to push harder/VIOLENTLY -
with oxytocin and Cytotec - with birth c****s senselessly closed up to 30%!

No wonder some women literally BEG for epidurals!

UNNECESSARY FORCEPS/VACUUM EXTRACTIONS...

In 10 to 15% of births
MDs reach INSIDE ******s - with forceps/vacuum extractors - and drag babies
out through birth c****s senselessly closed up to 30%!

Sometimes MDs pull so hard they rip spinal nerves out of tiny spinal cords!

HINDBRAIN HERNIATION...

MDs may occasionally be pulling the brain/cerebellum into the upper cervical
c****...

SIDS...

It has been suggested in the medical literature that a small or distorted
posterior cranial fossa might be required for the Chiari malformation:

"These results support the opinion, which claims the
existence of underdevelopment of the occipital bone and posterior fossa in
patients with Chiari type I malformation."

by the square of that distance." [Emmons, AB. A study of the variations in
the female pelvis, based on observations made on 217 specimens of the
American Indian squaw. Biometrika 1913; 9:34-47.]

In 1969, British consultant radiologist JGB Russell used an x-ray study by
Borell and Fernström's [1957] and mathematically calculated that allowing
the sacrum
and pelvis to move affords a 20-30% potential increase in pelvic outlet
area, as in,

"[T]he outlet increases with moulding by approximately 20-30 per cent."
[Russell JGB. Moulding of the pelvic
outlet. J Obstet Gynaec Brit Cwlth 1969;76:817-20.

In 1973, Ohlsén used Borell and Fernström's original AP measurements, and on
Borell and Fernstrom's 1957 intrapartum films verified Russell's 20%
figure. [Ohlsén H. Moulding of the pelvis during labour. Acta Radiol Diag
1973;14:417-434]

This was the 1973 paper in which Ohlsén noted that Williams Obstetrics was
still claiming that there were NO changes in the pelvic diameters at
delivery.

When I tried to get Canadian obstetrician Murray Enkin, MD to *clearly*
(usefully) state the fact that clinical and x-ray evidence indicates that
semisitting and dorsal close the birth c**** - he censored his own book!

Enkin "justified" his self-censorship by mentioning "the Lilford group" -
which had conducted obviously BOGUS x-ray studies!

Enkin's colleague, British evidence-based guru Sir Iain Chalmers, MD went
along with the anti-scientific gag!

Hopefully Lilford's colleague, BJOG International's Jim Thornton, will
finally call attention to the massive grisly medical fraud.

Lawrence,

Assuming, as you say, that migraine is not psychological - and that less
than 30% of what there is to know is known...

It seems logical to look at BIRTH TRAUMA and the fact that MDs are routinely
closing birth c****s up to 30% and violently conducting births.

An estimated 4.6% of "healthy" term neonates are suffering unexplained brain
bleeds...

I theorize that birth trauma may be causing posttraumatic migraines in
babies or *triggering* migraines in babies who suffer an inherited
susceptibility to migraines.

(Nurse Hawki ostensibly published a "rebuttal" of my theories - but I never
saw it. Lawrence, if you saw Nurse Hawki's "rebuttal," would you send it to
me along with the URL? She seemed to reject the fact that there is x-ray
evidence that MDs and RNs are closing birth c****s up to 30%...)

Although I am clearly biased toward my own theorizing...

With MDs closing birth c****s up to 30% and conducting many violent
births...

With many "healthy" babies suffering unexplained brain bleeds and "colic"...

I do *not* think my theories "crackpot" - especially since - as you say -
"We do not know everything [about migraine], or even 30% of what is to
know..."

Nor do I think myself a "troll" for persisting in publishing my
theorizing...(then again, as noted above, I am clearly biased)...

Do you think my theories are "crackpot"??

Do you join Nurse Hawki in thinking that DCs cannot protest MDs closing
birth c****s up to 30%?

Why don't YOU protest MDs closing birth c****s up to 30%?

BTW Lawrence, my 30% figure derives from x-ray studies which were recently
supported by an MRI study - which found - in effect - that MDs are closing
birth c****s "significantly."

PREGNANT WOMEN! It's EASY to open your birth c**** an "extra" up to
30%!

Just roll onto your side as you push your baby out! PLEASE talk to your MD
about this NOW...

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 c****s (!) 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"...)

GRUESOME SPINAL MANIPULATION BY MDs (and MBs)...

MDs routinely pull "gently"/gruesomely on babies' heads sticking out
******s/birth c****s senselessly closed up to 30%.

(ALL spinal manipulation of fetuses is gruesome with the birth c**** closed
up to 30%.)

UNNECESSARY EPIDURALS...

MDs routinely cause uteri to PUSH with birth c****s senselessly closed up to
30% and in many births MDs chemically whip uteri to push harder/VIOLENTLY -
with oxytocin and Cytotec - with birth c****s senselessly closed up to 30%!

No wonder some women literally BEG for epidurals!

UNNECESSARY FORCEPS/VACUUM EXTRACTIONS...

In 10 to 15% of births
MDs reach INSIDE ******s - with forceps/vacuum extractors - and drag babies
out through birth c****s senselessly closed up to 30%!

Sometimes MDs pull so hard they rip spinal nerves out of tiny spinal cords!

HINDBRAIN HERNIATION...

MDs may occasionally be pulling the brain/cerebellum into the upper cervical
c****...

TRACTION OF BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD - TRACTION BIRTH TRAUMA IS COMMON!

"...type 1 Arnold-Chiari malformation

traction of brain and spinal cord of the subjects exerted during breech
delivery and further support the primary role of birth trauma in the genesis
of 'idiopathic hypopituitarism.'"

CHIARI SKULL SURGERY: FIBROMYALGICS STILL HOPING?

"We're very hopeful that this will be the first real, viable treatment for
many people," said Rae Gleason, director of the National Fibromyalgia
Research Association (NFRA) in Salem, Oregon. The NFRA is funding a $150,000
study to determine the percentage of fibromyalgia patients who have a Chiari
malformation or spinal cord compression.
--Spine, skull surgery may help many with CFIDS
By David Hoh
http://www.cfids.org/archives/1999/1999-3-article03.asp


SIDS...

It has been suggested in the medical literature that a small or distorted
posterior cranial fossa might be required for the Chiari malformation:

"These results support the opinion, which claims the
existence of underdevelopment of the occipital bone and posterior fossa in
patients with Chiari type I malformation."
[Karagoz F, Izgi N, Kapijcijoglu Sencer S.
Acta Neurochir (Wien). 2002 Feb;144(2):165-71]

"[R]elationship between the skull base and...Chiari type I malformation
(CMI),*****key role in a small size of posterior cranial
fossa..."[Krupina NE, Beloded VM. [Zh Nevrol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova.
2002;102(8):3-7. PubMed abstract]

It occurs to me that MDs "spraining" brain support structures at birth PLUS
iatrogenic positional plagiocephaly (to prevent SIDS^^^) - may cause a
smaller or distorted posterior cranial fossa (or a smaller brain case
overall) - and result in some cases of fibromyalgia (assuming some
fibromyalgia is related to Chiari)...

Of course, MDs "spraining" brain support structures - and mothers causing
positional plagiocephaly spontaneously - could also have been causing a
smaller or
distorted posterior cranial fossa (or a smaller brain case overall) all
along - and
some cases of fibromyalgia (assuming some fibromyalgia is related to
Chiari) all along...

Does anyone know whether positional plagiocephaly causes a smaller or
distorted posterior cranial fossa (or a smaller brain case overall)?

I'll cc: wendy.biggs@midmichigan.org who writes: "In children with
positional head deformity (posterior plagiocephaly), the
occiput is flattened with corresponding facial asymmetry. The incidence of
positional head deformity increased dramatically between 1992 and 1999, and
now occurs in one of every 60 live births. One proposed cause of the
increased incidence of positional head deformity is the initiative to place
infants on their backs during sleep to prevent sudden infant death syndrome.
With early detection and intervention, most positional head deformities can
be treated conservatively with physical therapy or a head orthosis
("helmet").[Biggs W. Am Fam Physician. 2003 May 1;67(9):1953-6. PubMed
abstract]

^^^Quoting the American Academy of Pediatrics/AAP writes:

"There is some suggestion that the incidence of babies developing a flat
spot on their occiputs may have increased since the incidence of prone
sleeping
has decreased. This is almost always a benign condition, which will
disappear within several months after the baby has begun to sit up..."

TRACTION OF BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD - PRIMARY ROLE OF BIRTH TRAUMA...

"...type 1 Arnold-Chiari malformation

What if distortion of the skull for several months makes it more difficult
for the brain to recover (retract fully into the brain case) following birth trauma?

University of Missouri Chiari Clinic, say fibromyalgia patients should be
cautious about assuming they may have Chiari malformation...First, Oro and
Mueller say, people who believe they may have Chiari malformation should
undergo a basic neurologic exam from a neurologist or neurosurgeon
experienced at diagnosing Chiari...If someone indeed has Chiari
malformation, this exam, and an MRI of the brain and brainstem, will reveal
it..."I think the lay public has become a little misled," says Mueller, a
nurse practitioner. "They're sure we're going to have a cure for
fibromyalgia."<<

UNNECESSARY CESAREAN SECTIONS...

MDs close birth c****s - CAUSE "cephalopelvic disproportion" - then perform
major abdominal surgeries called c-sections BEcause of "cephalopelvic
disproportion!

UNNECESSARY EPISIOTOMIES...

MDs routinely slash ******s (euphemism "routine
episiotomy") -
surgically/FRAUDULENTLY inferring that everything possible is being done to
OPEN birth c****s - even as they CLOSE birth c****s up to 30%!

MDs offer women "generous" episiotomies when the baby's shoulders get
stuck...

The American College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists/ACOG
indirectly ADMITS that MDs are routinely closing birth c****s - why *else*
would ACOG's Shoulder Dystocia video show MDs how to OPEN the birth c****
maximally when the shoulders get stuck?

Unfortunately, ACOG's Shoulder Dystocia video method of "opening" the
birth
c**** maximally - KEEPS THE BIRTH C**** CLOSED!

CANADIAN OBs ARE AS BAD AS AMERICAN OBs...

ACOG's grisly, ostensible birth c**** opening method involves flexing the
thighs on the abdomen.

This is "proper" McRoberts maneuver - which actually closes the birth c****
with more force than semisitting (!)...

IMPROPER McRoberts (not pictured in the ACOG video mentioned above) involves
rolling the woman *off her sacrum* which OPENS the birth c****.

WHY isn't ACOG ********ly promoting IMPROPER McRoberts - and the reason it
is good? For the most likely reason, see HERE'S THE PROBLEM, below.

The Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada (SOGC) claims that
flexing the thighs on the abdomen (and semisitting) are biomechanically like
squatting. (!)

The Canadian OBs think semisitting is better than dorsal; in fact,
semisitting only closes the birth c**** with more force. (!)

Heres the relevant SOGC quote...

"UPRIGHT OR SEMI-SITTING POSTURE [retains some mechanical advantages
of]...[sq]uatting [which] has...been shown radiographically to increase the
pelvic outlet measurements
by 0.5 to 1.5 cm. Flexing the thighs against
the abdomen also contributes to increasing the diameter
of the pelvis in the sagittal plane and thus the sitting,
semi-sitting and exaggerated lithotomy positions retain
some of these mechanical advantagesThe traditional lithotomy position
commonly used
in obstetric units can certainly be modified to obtain a
semi-sitting posture and hence achieve the benefit
derived from the upright position (p. 58)...
Upright (semi-sitting, squatting) and left lateral
postures have many points in their favour, and
should be encouraged. In contrast, the traditional lithotomy
position has distinct disadvantages and should
therefore be reserved for cases of operative delivery.
The lithotomy position can often be modified to a semisitting
position for most purposes to avoid the adverse
haemodynamic consequences of supine position and to
benefit, at least in part, from a more upright posture.(p. 54)...

POLICY STATEMENT No. 71, December 1998
http://www.sogc.org/SOGCnet/sogc_docs/common/guide/pdfs/healthybegeng.pdf

A few last notes about the just-quoted SOGC policy statement...

Squatting has never been "shown radiographically to increase the
pelvic outlet measurements by 0.5 to 1.5 cm" - but clinical and x-ray
studies do indicate that semisitting and dorsal CLOSE the birth c**** - up
to 30%.

The biomechanics are quite simple and easily detectable clinically:

In 1911, J. Whitridge Williams, MD, original author of Williams Obstetrics
reported a woman in whom the sacral tip moved 4 cm!

In 1913, Harvard obstetrician/anthropologist Arthur B Emmons, MD noted:

"[M]oving backward of the tip of the sacrum...enlarges the available space
not merely directly in proportion to the distance backward, but more nearly
by the square of that distance." [Emmons, AB. A study of the variations in
the female pelvis, based on observations made on 217 specimens of the
American Indian squaw. Biometrika 1913; 9:34-47.]

In 1969, British consultant radiologist JGB Russell used an x-ray study by
Borell and Fernström's [1957] and mathematically calculated that allowing
the sacrum
and pelvis to move affords a 20-30% potential increase in pelvic outlet
area, as in,

"[T]he outlet increases with moulding by approximately 20-30 per cent."
[Russell JGB. Moulding of the pelvic
outlet. J Obstet Gynaec Brit Cwlth 1969;76:817-20.

In 1973, Ohlsén used Borell and Fernström's original AP measurements, and on
Borell and Fernstrom's 1957 intrapartum films verified Russell's 20%
figure. [Ohlsén H. Moulding of the pelvis during labour. Acta Radiol Diag
1973;14:417-434]

This was the 1973 paper in which Ohlsén noted that Williams Obstetrics was
still claiming that there were NO changes in the pelvic diameters at
delivery.

When I tried to get Canadian obstetrician Murray Enkin, MD to *clearly*
(usefully) state the fact that clinical and x-ray evidence indicates that
semisitting and dorsal close the birth c**** - he censored his own book!

Enkin "justified" his self-censorship by mentioning "the Lilford group" -
which had conducted obviously BOGUS x-ray studies!

Enkin's colleague, British evidence-based guru Sir Iain Chalmers, MD went

Hopefully Lilford's colleague, BJOG International's Jim Thornton, will
finally call attention to the massive grisly medical fraud.
