Title: Bericht Hoi Sue, You are right, but I can understand very much what Michel Odent means. Whywould you put energy in people who don't want to listen? You better can work with people that are already open for the message you have and empower them. I asked in my last contact with Robby

I think that Michel Odent is fed up with making the effort to travel to speak to obs/Gpobs who didnt turn up or who ridiculed him. I have had personal experience of this happening to him here in Australia. He is not speaking to the converted when he speaks to midwives as there are many

I sure can relate, Andrea. I have three tricks for getting a nice big shoulder moving rush of hormones. 1 get the woman to take a big drink of water through a bendy straw (this has the same effect as giving your parched house plants a nice quaff of water) 2. have her lover stimulate her
