| CONNECTICUT EMS Director Leonard Guercia, Jr. (webmaster.dph@po.state.ct.us)
An EMS PREVENTION initiative for the tiniest people in need of EMS "rescue
services"... See below.
WILL CONNECTICUT EMTs HELP OBs (and babies)?
OBs are amputating natural oxygenation/transfusion devices (placentas) -
then letting pediatricians resuscitate understandably depressed newborns!
See Dr. Morley's BLOCKBUSTER indictment below!
CAREY GREGORY, EMT a volunteer public official/assistant chief of emergency
medical services in Canton, CT, says EMTs do *not* immediately clamp cords
and amputatate natural oxygenation/transfusion devices (see below)...
WHY then are EMTs letting *OBs* immediately clamp cords and amputate natural
oxygentation/transfusion devices?
Why are EMTs letting OBs *close birth canals up to 30%*?
PREGNANT WOMEN: You can stop OBs from amputating your baby's natural
oxygenation/transfusion device AND you can help prevent c-sections and
episiotomies: For simple instructions on how women can allow their birth
canals to OPEN the "extra" up to 30%, see the Semmelweis URL below.
Instead of addressing these obvious mass (sometimes fatal) OB emergencies...
Volunteer public official Carey Gregory, EMT urges people not to read my
"moronic" posts and says that I am "psychotic" and "evil" for persistently
protesting these mass (sometimes fatal) OB emergencies...
Carey also LIED...
See below.
Coleah asked, "Appx how long is the average wait until the baby turns pink
and the cord
stops pulsating?...Why do you think medical personnel are not waiting that
length of time?"
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=...p.supernews.com
Volunteer public official Carey Gregory, EMT pretended that all medical
personnel wait:
"They *do* wait that length of time."
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=...br44r%404ax.com
This was a LIE. Carey was only speaking for *EMTs*...
Coleah asked, "So, what's the problem?"...
Coleah,
The problem is that Carey is wrong - maybe he is so busy calling my posts
"moronic" that he isn't reading them.
In many (most?) births, medical personnel DO immediately clamp cords, as in
ACOG Practice Bulletin B138:
"...Immediately after delivery of the neonate, a segment of umbilical cord
should be doubly clamped, divided, and placed on the delivery table pending
assessment of the five minute Apgar score."
--1991 (re-affirmed Feb 2002) ACOG Committee opinion: Bulletin 138 - April
1994 (replaces #91, February 1991)
From quotes compiled mainly by Eileen Simon from the Harvard Medical School
Libraryhttp://www.cordclamping.com/History.htm
The American Academy of Pediatrics/AAP calls "aggressive" immediate cord
clamping "unethical," as in,
"There may be a temptation to practice immediate cord clamping aggressively
to increase the volume of cord blood that can be harvested for cord blood
banking. This practice is unethical and should be discouraged." [Pediatrics,
Volume 104, Number 1, July 1999, pp 116-118.]
I say ALL immediate cord clamping - "aggressive" or otherwise - is
unethical - obvious child abuse - because OBs are failing to wait until the
BABY is done with his or her blood before harvesting it for stem cells, etc.
See Disneyland DA Rackauckas: *More* mass child abuse by OBs...
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/grou...st/message/2644
CEREBRAL PALSY and AUTISM are two possible problems thought to be caused by
immediate cord clamping (see Morley quote below)...
Here is George Malcolm Morley, MB CHB FACOG criticizing ACOG Practice
Bulletin B138:
"ACOG's routine treatment (B138) of these depressed neonates is immediate
cord clamping to obtain cord blood pH studies. The child's only functioning
source of oxygen - the placenta - is amputated together with 30% to 50+% of
its natural blood volume. Total asphyxia is imposed until the lungs
function, and the depressed (asphyxiated, hypovolemic) child starts its
extra-uterine life in hypovolemic shock...
"B138 was first published in 1993. Every cesarean section baby, every
depressed child, every premie, and every child born with a neonatal team in
the delivery room has its cord clamped immediately to facilitate the
panicked rush to the resuscitation table. The current epidemic of immediate
cord clamping coincides with an epidemic of autism.
"For the trial lawyers, it is essential that the 'true genesis' of cerebral
palsy remains unknown, because that 'true genesis' (B.138) is a standard of
medico-legal care..."
http://www.cordclamping.com/acog-cp.htm
Dr. Morley complains that his fellow OBs are ignoring him:
"My letters published in the Green Journal, June 2001, asking ACOG to
provide an informed consent document for B138 remain unanswered, as do
formal complaints regarding B138 to ACOG and the AMA. These parties have
remained silent, and they have the right to remain silent; their silence
speaks louder than words. ACOG's report on cerebral palsy is either a
colossal error or a grotesque attempt to cover up B138."
COLEAH ASKED, "APPX HOW LONG UNTIL THE CORD STOPS PULSATING?"
Maybe about 8 minutes?
I found this at Dr. Morley's site:
1936 DeLee, Joseph B (1936) 25.A.1936.6 The Principles and Practice of
Obstetrics, Sixth Edition. Philadelphia and London: W.B. Saunders Company,
1956. [earlier editions: 1913, 15, 18, 24, 28, 33 (6th) à reprinted in 34 &
36]:
p. 334 - "After waiting until the pulsation in the exposed umbilical cord
has perceptibly weakened or disappeared, the child is severed from its
mother...During the four or eight minutes while waiting to tie the cord the
child obtains from 40 to 60 gm of the reserve blood of the placenta..."
http://www.cordclamping.com/History.htm
Immediate cord clamping has been defined as clamping "before 1 minute"....
Mercer et al. [2000] reported three cord clamping categories among CNMwives:
"...early (EC) or before 1 minute (26%); intermediate (IC) or 1 to 3 minutes
(35%); and late (LC) or after pulsations cease (33%)."
[J Midwifery Womens Health. 2000 Jan-Feb;45(1):58-66. PubMed abstract]
I am glad that volunteer public official Carey Gregory, EMT says the EMS
criterion for clamping is baby pink/cord stopped pulsating...
But with OB policy being immediate cord clamping, I suspect that not all
EMTs are aware that they should not clamp the cord until the baby is pink
and the cord has stopped pulsating.
I have also heard that 911 operators advise immediate cord clamping.
MAJOR problems still exist; yet volunteer public official Carey Gregory, EMT
calls me "evil" (and most recently "psychotic") for suggesting that EMTs
should stop OBs from creating obvious emergencies...
See again: Is Dr. Gastaldo evil? Or is immediate cord clamping evil?
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/grou...st/message/2728
ATTENTION Canton, CT volunteer public official Carey Gregory, EMT and other
Connecticut EMTs: OBs are also knowingly closing birth canals up to 30%.
EMTs should work to get this bizarre obstetric behavior changed, too.
I'll cc THE TOWN OF CANTON (CT) FIRE AND EMS DEPARTMENT
PO Box 168
Collinsville, CT 06022
(860) 693-7858
Chief
Rich Hutchings
chief@cantonfireandems.org
Assistant Chief - EMS: Carey Gregory <--Carey will read this online,
assuming he is no longer filtering.
EMSAsstChief@cantonfireandems.org
Deputy Chief - EMS: Linda Scarchuk
EMSDepChief@cantonfireandems.org
Captain - EMS: Sara Clarke
EMSCaptain@cantonfireandems.org
Perhaps THE TOWN OF CANTON (CT) FIRE AND EMS DEPARTMENT is a "RESCUE
SERVICE"?
Under Chap 368d Sec. 19a-175(12) of Connecticut's EMS statute one reads:
"'Rescue service' means any organization, whether profit or nonprofit, whose
primary purpose is to search for persons who have become lost or to render
emergency service to persons who are in dangerous or perilous
circumstances..."
Babies being robbed of up to 50% of blood they would otherwise have
tranfused to themselves and babies having their birth canals senselessly
closed up to 30% are obviously in "dangerous or perilous circumstances."
Hopefully ALL Connecticut Fire and EMS departments are "rescue services"...
Regardless, I hope all will apply some PREVENTIVE "community first aid", as
in Canton Fire and EMS's stated Mission to "make a positive difference":
"[O]ur mission to make a positive difference in the community through
education of the public with fire prevention, community first aid and CPR
classes."
http://www.cantonfireandems.org/
SPEAKING OF MAKING A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE....
My thanks (again) to Kelly (and little Bella) (and before that, Canadian
Grandma Donna Young) for calling my attention to the fact that "Immediate
clamping of the umbilical cord can reduce the red blood cells an infant
receives at birth by more than 50%..."
--Mercer JS. J Midwifery Womens Health. 2001 Nov-Dec;46(6):402-14.
PubMed abstract (via Larry McMahan)
PREGNANT WOMEN: Why not let your BABY decide how much blood s/he needs?
By immediately clamping cords, OBs are robbing babies of *massive* amounts
of blood thanks in part to stem cell research...
Again, immediate cord clamping is mass immunologic child abuse....
Immediate cord clamping = robbery of hemopoietic stem cells "vital for
haematologic and immunologic constitution" [Wardrop and Holland J Perinat
Med. 1995;23(1-2):139-43. PubMed abstract]
See again: Stem cells are precious! Let your baby have first crack at
them...

PS SO WHY DID CAREY LIE?
HAS HE BEEN BUFFALOED BY THE MEDICAL PROFESSION?
Jeff Utz, MD wrote a few years back...
"I no longer practice medicine. So I am no longer licensed."
(aka Jeffrey Peter, M.D. <drkid@my-deja.com> )
11/07/2000
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=g...0nnrp1.deja.com
Volunteer public official Carey Gregory, EMT wrote more recently:
"I'm not surprised [that Mark Probert found Jeff Utz's license - TG]...I've
never seen [Utz] post anything that made me doubt that he was, indeed, a
licensed MD and pediatrician....I see no reason to doubt it."
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=...l0th7%404ax.com
Carey accepted Mark Probert's statement that evidence of Utz's licensure had
been found - then embellished on that - then claimed in the same post, "I
made no claims about Mr. Utz's licensure whatsoever...Ilena is lying." (!)
Perhaps Carey has internalized the intellectual foundation of medicine...
"[T]he intellectual foundation of medical care...is...whatever a
physician decides is by definition correct."
--Eddy DM. The challenge. (Jan12)1990 JAMA
Given that OBs are powerful cultural authorities - given that the OB
behaviors discussed herein are obvious crimes - it is possible that
volunteer public official Carey Gregory, EMT is urging people to ignore my
"moronic" posts and calling me "evil" and "psychotic" because he has been
buffaloed by the medical profession. Why else would he be doing such
things?
I would like to hear SUBSTANTIVE criticism from anyone - including Carey -
who thinks it is NOT a crime for OBs to close birth canals up to 30% and rob
babies of up to 50% of the blood they would otherwise have transfused to
themselves.
Why is Carey saying my protests are "moronic"?!
A NOTE ABOUT MIDSTATE MEDICAL CENTER (Meriden, CT)
I went to the MidState Medical Center (Meriden, CT) website and found
NOTHING about OBs closing birth canals up to 30%...
There was a MidState link to an interesting statement on a LAMAZE site...via
an NIH site...
Go to http://www.midstatemedical.org/ and click on "Health
Information"...then on "Health Topics"...then on "Labor and Birth" (at the
bottom) then click on "Ten Tips For a Normal Birth" and you arrive at:
"Don't give birth on your back! Upright (e.g. sitting, squatting or
standing), all-fours or side-lying positions are more comfortable for you,
increase the effectiveness of your contractions and enable you to work with
gravity."
http://www.lamaze.org/expectant/TipsforNormalBirth.asp
"Don't give birth on your back!" is good advice!
But there is NOTHING about how giving birth on your back closes the birth
canal up to 30%!
And NO mention of the fact that SEMI-sitting - which was once/still is (?)
promoted by Lamaze - also closes the birth canal up to 30%!
WHY are hospitals failing to tell women that OBs are knowingly closing birth
canals up to 30%?
For simple PROOF that OBs are knowingly closing birth canals up to
30%...
For simple instructions on how women can allow their
birth canals to OPEN their birth canals the "extra" up to 30%...
See I ain't no Semmelweis, but...
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/grou...st/message/2591
IT'S OBVIOUS OB CRIME...
OBs are slicing vaginas en masse (euphemism "routine episiotomy") -
surgically/FRAUDULENTLY inferring everything possible is being done to OPEN
birth canals - even as they CLOSE birth canals - up to 30%.
OBs are slicing abdomens en masse ("c-section") - surgically/fraudulently
inferring everything possible has been DONE to open birth canals - even as
they CLOSE birth canals - up to 30%.
Now - to be sure - allowing the birth canal to open the "extra" up to 30% is
not going to prevent all caesareans and episiotomies - but it can't hurt.
Incidentally, when babies' shoulders get stuck, OBs KEEP the birth canal
closed - even as they say they are opening it maximally.
See ACOG birth crime video evidence
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/grou...st/message/2300
OBs don't charge for their mass vagina slicing - but it is known
to increase severe perineal tears by 50X - and perineal tearing is the most
common reason for hospitalization of women:
"The most common diagnosis for hospitalization among all women is trauma to
perineum due to childbirth."

FORTUNATELY...
Leonard Guercia, Jr., Director of Connecticut's Office of Emergency Medical
Services might be able to help...
Phone Number: (860) 509-7975
Fax Number: (860) 509-7987
E-mail: webmaster.dph@po.state.ct.us
Part of Connecticut EMS Director Guercia's job includes: "Oversee[ing] the

"Develop[ing] new initiatives that will include citizen education,
prevention, and public information."
http://www.dph.state.ct.us/DPH_Main...h/oems/oems.htm
Connecticut EMS Director Guercia could urge FEDERAL EMS folks to help OBs
(and babies) in every state!
I myself will cc the feds...
Jane Ball, Executive Director, (202) 884-6866, jball@emscnrc.com
Martin Eichelberger, Medical Director, (202) 884-2154,
meichelberger@safekids.org

jchamber@cnmc.org
EMS Director Guercia also "Maintain[s] the OEMS homepage on the DPH website,
the EMS Newsletter, the OEMS email address and the new listserv."
He could get the word out IMMEDIATELY to Connecticut EMTs to help OBs (and
babies)!!!
Perhaps some Seattle OBs will do something to stop all the OB crime...

Hopefully ALL Connecticut Fire and EMS departments are "rescue services"...
What if Connecticut EMS personnel started a nationwide movement and
stopped a LOT of unnecessary cesareans and prevented a lot of NICU
admissions and saved America MILLIONS (BILLIONS?) per year?
WHY are we letting OBs amputate natural oxygenation/transfusion devices
(placentas) so that pediatricians can resuscitate understandably depressed
newborns?
Just a suggested topic for the 2005 CSEMSI conference...(Again, see Dr.
Morley's BLOCKBUSTER indictment above.)
