"Manny Alvarez, the chairman of the Department of obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Science at Hackensack University Medical Center, strongly recommends this step, which many future parents skip. "The ideal thing," he said, would be to go to your doctor and say, "'Hi, this is my significant other. We're thinking of having a baby'And this is before you get pregnant. I'd say, 'OK, significant other, let's have a conversation. Let's see what your history is, let's see what your partner's history is, let's see what the two of you need to do beforehand." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This!

"At this colloquium, there were magnesium experts from all over, mostly academic people, and mostly people who had jobs like running an intensive care unit or a cardiac care unit, or a department of immunology or obstetrics and gynecology. Everyone there from every medical specialty was saying, 'Isn't it amazing that our colleagues are not aware of the very lengthy published information on the prevalence of magnesium deficiency in America, and its very widespread picture in clinical practice?" - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) |

 "Hand washing is still the single most powerful way to prevent the spread of communicable disease, but this was not discovered until 1847, when Ignaz Semmelweis, a young Viennese doctor in an obstetrics ward, observed that midwives who washed their hands had lower mortality rates among their patients than did doctors, who often went from autopsy room to delivery ward without so much as a hand wipe.

 "Surgery's absence would be noted particularly in obstetrics and cardiology. Birthing without obstetric laceration or breaking of the amniotic sac, let alone C-section or episiotomy, would now by necessity happen in a natural way. A variety of gynecological conditions would not be subject to the purported amelioration of major surgery.
Patients with coronary artery disease would not be subject to operations of the heart, from the less invasive insertion of stent to the heroic but oddly termed "cabbage." What would take its place?"- Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.) |
 "Associate Professor of Oncology, Gynecology, and obstetrics at Johns Hopkins. "If you haven't been exercising, try low-level exercise, such as walking or swimming."
The benefits of exercise are not limited to helping treatment-related fatigue. In fact, they actively contribute to curing cancer. Several groundbreaking studies attest to this fact. This hardly comes as a surprise, since cancer cells are typically oxygen-deprived, and exercise is a direct way to deliver extra oxygen to cells throughout the body and to improve the immune response."- Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) |
 "A 2006 study in obstetrics and Gynecolog)' reported that a combination of St. John's wort and black cohosh appears to be especially useful for women who suffer from menopause-related depression, especially interesting since recent research suggests that compounds in black cohosh bind to serotonin receptors in the brain. Another recent study in the journal Gynecological Endocrinology reported that black cohosh is as effective as the low-dose estrogen patch for relieving most symptoms and can also have a positive effect on cardiac risks."- Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.) |
| "Among surgeons, the biggest specially in 1998 was "general surgery" (40,000), followed by "obstetrics and gynecology" (39,000), which, confusingly, is also counted as a part of primary care.2
Surgeons are well compensated, with a median net (after expenses!) income of $240,000, the highest of any of the physician specialties. In one online self-report survey in 2002, cardiologists claimed the largest annual income of all surgeons, $475,000 (a nonsurgical specialty, radiology, was next at $415,000).3

Vitamin Bs is thought to be unique in its ability to increase the synthesis of several neurotransmitters in the brain. These neurotransmitters include serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, taurine, and histamine.35 Lower levels of brain neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine have been implicated in the etiology of PMS."- Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "How can we avail ourselves of the truly lifesaving aspects of obstetrics and eliminate the excess? The best answer I have is to be as educated as possible about options and be open to the obstetrical reality that things do not always go as we hope and plan. Be flexible. If possible, have a relationship with a conventional provider that you see at least once during your pregnancy. One good option is to consider hospital-based midwife services. The midwives are very committed to natural childbirth and, unlike the typical hospital birth, are present and supportive throughout your whole labor." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "Some naturopathic physicians receive extra training and licensure to practice obstetrics and natural childbirth. And now for the second consistent theme in my life: the delivery of health care to women. Modern women are the first women in history to enjoy the luxury of anticipating that their lives will be healthy, long, and self-directed. This awareness of opportunities and choices is leading them today to seek the benefits of natural medicine in ever-increasing numbers." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE APPROACH Nothing would be better in the realm of childbirth than for peace to be made between those who endorse modern obstetrics and hospital births and those who applaud the naturalness of pregnancy and labor and prefer home birth when uncomplicated. There is merit in both approaches. Like all options in health care, only the pregnant woman can decide which is right for her—but with better cooperation between the groups, her choice would be easier. When childbirth goes normally—which is most of the time—it can be safely managed at home." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) |
 "However, subsequent and concurrent studies cast doubt on the way these studies were conducted and on the conclusions they reached (Sources: Journal of the National Cancer Institute, February 2000, pages 249-252; American Journal of obstetrics and Gynecology, March 2000, pages 720-724; and obstetrics and Gynecology, March 1999, pages 372-376).
While more research in this area is being carried out to clear up the confusion, none of the research about the use of talc is related to the way women use makeup."- Paula Begoun and Bryan Barron, Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me, 7th Edition (Get the book.) |
 "Internists, in contrast, receive a more focused education in medical problems with no further training in surgery or obstetrics at all. Finding a good internist is simple. Ask your friends, call the department of medicine in your neighborhood hospital, or look in the yellow pages for a doctor who has accreditation—that is, who is "board certified"—in internal medicine.

 "The field of obstetrics isn't really set up to diagnose or treat mental health issues related to pregnancy. Shaw will bring up exercise as a solution to a problem, but she says it's hard for any physician to find the time to discuss preventive medicine. It can also be dicey, she points out, to suggest exercise to a woman who's juggling so many new responsibilities and might not be feeling so hot about her body. "The first thing to drop off the list when life gets more complicated for women is exercise," Shaw says. "- John J.

| "One particular 1993 research study that's received a lot of attention was published in the prestigious journal obstetrics and Gynecology. The study investigated reflexology for PMS and found that it had a noticeable and significant effect on symptoms. In this study, thirty-five women who complained of previous distress with PMS were randomly assigned to be treated either by "real" reflexology or by a sham, placebo treatment. This is an interesting study because of an inherent dilemma—how do you do a "placebo" test of something that looks like massage?" - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.) |
| "In the student's defense, the American Medical Association, the American Cancer Society, the American College of obstetrics and Gynecology and the American Academy of Family Physicians still support teaching breast self-examination, and the idea is widely supported by physicians. "The idea that breast self-examination is not worthwhile really defies logic," wrote one gynecologist in 2002. "I've been in practice about twenty-five years, and I have had a number of patients who have found things themselves." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared?

 "As early as 1992, a publication in obstetrics & Gynecology reported information that frequent talc use on the genital area increases a woman's risk of ovarian cancer threefold ?using information that was already a decade old. "The most frequent method of talc exposure," the study reported, "was use as a dusting powder directly to the perineum [genitals]....

 "In July of 2002, everyone found out that it was not Mother Nature but the American College of Physicians and the American College of obstetrics and Gynecology that had made the big mistake. The newspapers were full of articles about the government-sponsored Women's Health Initiative study, which had been specifically designed to determine whether routine HRT was beneficial for postmenopausal women. The 16,000 women in the study had been randomly assigned to take either combined (estrogen and progestin) HRT or a placebo."- John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "The American College of obstetrics and Gynecology also recommended that all postmenopausal women, barring a medical contraindication like breast cancer, should take HRT for life. Bolstered by the recommendations of these professional organizations, Premarin use increased another 40 percent over the next three years. In 1995 Premarin once again became the most frequently prescribed brand-name drug in the United States." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.)
