    Home » Dr Biter's Suspension at Scripps Hospital

    Dr Biter's Suspension at Scripps Hospital

    It's a long story and we don't know all the details, but one of the most progressive OBGYNs in California lost his ability to practice at his local hospital. He's been there for years and performs more births {attending all of them might I add} than any doctor at the hospital! He supports birth "choice" and natural birth, but he doesn't push anybody one way or the other. He has a conventional background but is dedicated to a woman's right to choose her birth plan! 

    Most likely it's his non-traditional outlooks on birth that have gotten him in trouble. I know this first hand seeing as though I had a home-birth the first time around and then a hospital birth, with Dr Biter, for the second! I had a per-term labor scare which put me in the emergency room at around 25 weeks. Dr Biter was not at the hospital but another female doctor was. When she asked me who my doctor was and where I delivered my last child she felt the need to tell me what a terrible risk it was to have a birth at home. This woman had to explain to me the danger that I put myself and my child in! She was unhappy and said it was her "duty" as not just a doctor, but a mother, to inform me of such dangers. Keep in mind, I didn't even ASK her for her opinion. I was fuming mad and literally on a birthing bed, hoping that my contractions didn't get any worse {she was definitely CAUSING my contractions to get stronger and more frequent}! These were the doctors at Scripps and I thought, if this is what they are like, I want nothing to do with this hospital {JUST BEING HONEST, I AM SORRY IF THIS OFFENDS ANYBODY!!} They are claiming that his practices are too DANGEROUS! That makes sense after experiencing what I did over at Scripps. 

    I try very hard not to get angry or upset or overly-biased on my blog! But all Dr Biter has been is open-minded and easy going. He is a laid back, yet super hard working man who has performed thousands upon thousands of births in his life. He works so hard that he can barely get away to take vacations. He just opened the SWEETEST baby store in our area called Babies By the Sea. Not to mention he has worked one-on-one with Rikki Lake to speak on the subject of "birth choice" and "right"! He also just finally opened a birthing center close by in Carlsbad. He has such a huge following of moms who want to be able to not only have a choice but have a doctor that supports them. 

    What I also love about him is that he NEVER rushes you out the door. He answers questions, is patient and I will never forget the day I was in his office and he told me that he isn't sure why he's so enthusiastic about it, but he feels it was his life calling to help women speak out about "birth choice"! It's like his life purpose. He cares so much about his patients.

    He has no {or at least none that I could see} ego and that to me is so refreshing! He will come to your house if he has to prior to delivery. He also lets you ask all the questions you want and he'll make you feel right at home! He respects women! And he doesn't want C-sections, but will perform them if necessary, and ONLY if necessary! He is the best of both worlds in my mind - medical v natural - and that is so important for SO many people who are too nervous for a homebirth!

    There is a rally being held today at the hospital if anybody is interested in attending!

    Some of the signs being held up at the rallys include:

    Bring Biter Back!
    Dr. Biter IS Mother-Baby Friendly!
    www.BRINGBITERBACK.com
    Dr. Biter is THE VBAC doc!

    1. Core Suspension

      Just comes in mind. I think the one who should really support him this time were the one who's been with him all the time and knows him well. We cannot deny the fact that there's something behind this suspension but just like I said earlier...

    Let’s get real : Succeeding at anything takes discipline. Even manifesting takes discipline. Often clients say that they tried this diet or that diet. And they can’t seem to reach their health goals or heal or lose weight. And every time we take a deep look it’s because there really isn’t the discipline they think there is! The same way a fish doesn’t see water we have a hard time recognizing our own self sabotaging habits and patterns. 
I’m not talking about restriction or lack or counting calories or counting fat grams. That’s old-school. Don’t confuse discipline with restriction.
P.S. this my first attempt at trying out trending audios😜🤷‍♀️

    Damn this combo of garlic, ginger and tahini over sautéed potatoes is 💣. I love tahini dressing because of how creamy it gets without using cashews or dairy products. I first sautéed the potatoes in vegan butter. I added a few shallots for fun. THAT’S IT. If you cut them thin enough they cook in just 5-6 minutes on medium high heat. I added raw kale to them for added fiber and minerals. 
Dressing 
2 cloves garlic
1/4 inch piece of fresh ginger
1 whole lemon
2-3 Tbsp sesame oil, 
1 heaping Tbsp tahini
2 Tbsp water
big pinch sea salt. 
blend it all together until creamy and chunk-free. 
Enjoy

    LISTEN 👂I wish somebody shared this wisdom with
    LISTEN 👂I wish somebody shared this wisdom with me when I was younger. 
I used to think perfection was actually THE goal in life. Literally that’s what I thought - be your best, do your best, be the nicest, get the best grades, look your best, date the best, eat the best, do no wrong, don’t argue, be happy and makes others happy, give give give…and if I didn’t accomplish those things I was very concerned. I wondered what was wrong with me and punish myself. I know…laughable right? But nobody told me otherwise🤷‍♀️ 
This is what a version of codependency looks like: perpetual state of feeling not good enough, constant state of fear or fight or flight…exhausting, defeating and eventually leads to dis-ease. A victim in almost all areas of your life: “Why is this person being awful to me, why am I sick when others are well, this isn’t fair”. 
After deep healing and self exploration, I clearly see how my ways of looking at life, my own actions (people pleasing or having no boundaries), attract the abusers, users, haters, broken people; I attracted people to treat me poorly. 
So, this is what is meant by “taking accountability” for your life and understanding why certain things are happening “to you”. 
Not everybody is supposed to like you or agree with you or UNDERSTAND YOU. But taking it PERSONAL (becoming a victim) is your choice. Being Treated with complete disrespect is THEIR choice. Playing IN THE game of TOXICITY however is also your choice.
Freedom is attainable. Healing is attainable. Harmony and peace are attainable. It just requires radical self awareness. Today I choose to break the rules that were never there to begin with.

    Sometimes I like to just enjoy slow days full of cleaning, music, cooking and just being grateful I’m alive and healthy! Aaaah the best feeling!
I cooked my butternut squash in olive oil, garlic, cumin, pepper and sea salt. That’s it. The sage was an easy bonus. Simple. And healthy.
