  1. QUESTION: Does Rule 302 (or any other rule) prohibit
    California licensed DCs from informing pregnant women that
    OBs are closing birth canals up to 30% and gruesomely
    manipulating most babies' spines?

    PREGNANT WOMEN: For simple PROOF that OBs are closing birth
    canals - and simple instructions on how easy it is for women
    to allow their birth canals to OPEN the "extra" up to 30%,

    ^^^There is a one-year grace period following the expiration
    of a Board member's term. chiro.ca.govboard

    Dear Board Members,

    I am unlicensed by choice working full-time-plus on
    stopping OBs from closing birth canals up to 30%. OBs are
    gruesomely (sometimes fatally) manipulating most babies'
    spines at birth.

    ALL spinal manipulation is gruesome with the birth canal
    closed up to 30%.

    I became unlicensed by choice after being told by a man
    calling himself Michael Schroeder, attorney for the Calif.
    Chiro Board, that my license to practice chiropractic did
    not allow me to inform pregnant women that OBs are closing
    birth canals up to 30%.

    I was sued for one million dollars by a man calling himself
    Michael Schroeder, attorney for the Calif. Chiro Board - the
    man who just happened to have authored the Calif. Chiro
    Board regulation (Rule 302) that ostensibly makes it illegal
    for California DCs to inform pregnant women that OBs are
    closing birth canals up to 30%.

    I spent $2000+ dollars trying to get the trial moved to
    Oregon where I could afford to defend myself - but lost on
    jurisdiction - after which this latter Michael Schroeder (I
    do NOT know if he is the same as the former) was awarded a
    $25,000 dollar default judgement - the merits of the case
    never having been argued.

    This latter Michael Schroeder (again, I do not know if he is
    the same as the former) coincidentally was paid by the
    Calif. Chiro Board to "defend" his Rule 302 - against **10
    MD-obstetricians** (et al.) who - in my view - were suing to
    get Schroeder's Rule 302 - not overturned but **judicially
    rubberstamped**.

    I think the 10 MD-obstetricians INTENDED to lose - to get
    case law on the record to *support* Schroeder's Rule 302
    which ostensibly (I assumed after the call from the first
    Schroeder) prohibited California DCs from informing pregnant
    women that OBs are closing birth canals and gruesomely
    manipulating most babies' spines.

    DOES Rule 302 (or any other rule) prohibit Calif. licensed
    DCs from informing pregnant women that OBs are closing birth
    canals and gruesomely manipulating most babies' spines?

    If not, I urge each of you to do what you can to save tiny
    lives and tiny limbs and PREVENT more putative vertebral
    subluxations than vaunted licensed DCs will ever be able to
    adjust by hand.

    Thank you for your earliest consideration of this matter.
    Tiny lives and tiny limbs are at stake.

    Sincerely,

    Todd

    Coleah,

    Love, love, love.

    I would love to hear of any LICENSED DCs working to stop OBs
    from closing birth canals and gruesomely manipulating most
    babies spines at birth.

    I would love to hear that such work is NOT outside the scope
    of chiropractic practice in California.

    I would love to hear that the LICENSED DCs on the Calif.
    Board will take action to save tiny lives and tiny limbs and
    PREVENT more putative vertebral subluxations than DCs will
    ever be able to adjust by hand.

    Good explanation Amy. I earned a doctor of chiropractic
    degree and a chiropractic license.

    Then I was told by a man calling himself Michael Schroeder,
    attorney for the Calif. chiro board that it was outside the
    scope of my license to do what I was doing.

    So I stopped sending the board money to renew my license.

    I practice that HUGE neglected area of chiropractic
    (education) for which no license or degree is necessary.

    Dr. DD Palmer named chiropractic in part "the mental act of
    accumulating knowledge." [1910:19]

    With MDs RESTRICTING the mental act of accumulating
    knowledge, well...

    PS This is NOT the first time I've brought the obvious OB
    spinal manipulation crime to the attention of the
    California Board of Chiropractic Examiners...

    I called and spoke by phone with - and emailed - Kim
    Smith, who is still executive director of the California
    Chiro Board...

    See Ufberg, Calif. Chiro Bd perpetuate DC radiation fraud
    groups.yahoo.com1220

    NOTE: At this just cited URL, I discuss the Oregon Board of
    Chiropractic Examiners trying to tell me I couldn't
    call myself "Dr."...

    Apparently, a LICENSED Oregon DC who knew that I was not
    licensed (I made no secret of the fact) heard me telling
    Oregon State legislators at a public meeting that OBs are
    closing birth canals. The Oregon Board contacted me and
    demanded that I stop calling myself "Dr."

    I read the law and found out they had no right to do that.

    Again, I practice that HUGE neglected area of chiropractic
    (education) for which no license or degree is necessary.

    Dt. DD Palmer named chiropractic in part "the mental act of
    accumulating knowledge." [1910:19]

    With MDs RESTRICTING the mental act of accumulating
    knowledge - I'm wondering why vaunted LICENSED chiros aren't
    protesting MDs closing birth canals and gruesomely
    (sometimes fatally) manipulating most babies spines....

    It's really sort of weird....

    Any DCs reading? Check it out! Dorland's now has a
    definition of vertebral subluxation - and a definition of
    "straight chiropractic"...

    The definitions are flawed - but still! It's cool!

    ONE LAST NOTE: As noted in the "Ufberg" URL above, both the
    California and Oregon Boards are ignoring radiation fraud by

    Todd is a chiropractor and is unlicensed by choice.

    Just to clarify...

    I am a doctor of chiropractic unlicensed by choice after a
    man calling himself Michael Schroeder, attorney for the
    California Board of Chiropractic Examiners told me it was
    not within my scope of practice to tell pregnant women that
    OBs are closing birth canals up to 30%.

    My focus is NON-SPINAL chiropractic adjusting - education.
    Anyone can do it - licensed, degreed or not.

    We are all chiropractors.

    The Founder of chiropractic named chiropractic (in part)
    "the mental act of accumulating knowledge" [1910:19] because
    medicinie was restricting the mental act of accumulating
    knowledge.

    Medicine is STILL restricting the mental act of accumulating
    knowledge - failing to tell pregnant women that OBs are
    knowingly closing birth canals up to 30%.

    how to allow your birth canal to OPEN the "extra" up to 30%.

    So Todd is saying that he is an unlicensed doctor? But
    uses Dr. in his signature line?

    FWIW, if you have earned a doctorate (such as an M.D.,
    PhD, etc) you can call yourself Dr. This is independent
    of whether or not you are licensed to practice any type
    of medicine. So, Todd could have earned an M.D. or Doctor
    of Chiropractic degree, giving himself the right to be
    called "Dr. Gastaldo". He may then have chosen not to be
    licensed to practice, lost his license, or not renewed

    Todd is a chiropractor and is unlicensed by choice.

    This part is rather vague:
    ************
    "I became unlicensed by choice after being told by a man
    calling himself Michael Schroeder, attorney for the Calif.
    Chiro Board, that my license to practice chiropractic did
    not allow me to inform pregnant women that OBs are closing
    birth canals up to 30%.

    I was sued for one million dollars by a man calling himself
    Michael Schroeder, attorney for the Calif. Chiro Board - the
    man who just happened to have authored the Calif. Chiro
    Board regulation (Rule 302) that ostensibly makes it illegal
    for California DCs to inform pregnant women that OBs are
    closing birth canals up to 30%.

    I spent $2000+ dollars trying to get the trial moved to
    Oregon where I could afford to defend myself - but lost on
    jurisdiction - after which this latter Michael Schroeder (I
    do NOT know if he is the same as the former) was awarded a
    $25,000 dollar default judgement - the merits of the case
    never having been argued."
    *********************
    If TD was licensed in CA, why would a trial be in Oregon?
    Even if sharing his opinion with women was illegal as a DC
    in the Golden State (which I'd have to see), what does that
    have to do with a 1 million dollar lawsuit? If a practice is
    illegal it is a criminal matter, not a civil one. Criminal
    matters may be dealt with by incarceration, fines, or
    restrictions placed on the person committing the crime --
    nothing to do with any lawsuit seeking damages.

    WRT "the merits of the case never having been discussed" --
    no kidding. When someone defaults, the other party wins. No
    different from any other civil court no-show. Turning down
    the chance to defend one's self in court often says volumes
    about "the merits of the case"
