Medication Side Effect Humor (however, very real)



If you stop and ask friends, family or even strangers if they are on some sort of medication and/or over the counter drug you will be surprised to notice that the majority will answer yes.
I take pride in the fact that I do not take any medication of any kind and educate my friends and family of the fact that the drugs they take to make them "seem" better is actually just masking the symptoms and setting the stage for a CERTAIN result of creating more harm to another function of their body.
I share this photo to demonstrate the humor....however, every prescription medication along with over-the-counter drugs have side effects - many of which you will go unnoticed until it is too late.

I believe you will find it a great asset for you and your family.

A Chiropractic Miracle Story Must See!







The First Subluxation

First Subluxation?Birth today has become a technological experience where a natural process has been replaced with artificial procedures and schedules. Without the necessary support during pregnancy, women enter the birth process with fear and are led to rely on drugs instead of their bodies' own natural strengths 1. These drugs weaken her body's ability to function and lead to even further interventions 2. The more interventions used in birth, the greater the risk of injury to both the mother and baby 3. Subluxation damage can be caused by a constricted uterus, a breech presentation or a difficult delivery. Cases in which there is vacuum extraction or excessive force, the spine is always traumatized.
During Birth, delicate nerves are traumatized and stretched. The spinal cord is twisted and torque. Cranial bones are squeezed and jammed. Most children experiencing birth in our society have been subjected to trauma. Did the routine procedures of birth in our society cause the first subluxation in your child?


According to Abraham Towbin, MD: "The birth process ... is potentially a traumatic, crippling event ... mechanical stress imposed by obstetrical manipulation-even the application of standard orthodox procedures may prove intolerable to the fetus ... most signs of neonatal injury observed in the delivery room are neurological." 4.

Research is confirming chiropractors' observations that infants may suffer from spinal subluxations. In one study, 1,250 babies were examined five days after birth; 211 of them suffered from vomiting, hyperactivity and sleeplessness. Subluxations were found in 95% of this group. Although the researchers in this study were MDs, they recognized the power of chiropractic care and these babies were given the care they needed. The spinal adjustment "frequently resulted in immediate quieting, cessation of crying, muscular relaxation and sleepiness." The authors noted that an unhealthy spine causes "many clinical features from central motor impairment to lowered resistance to infections- especially ear, nose and throat infections." The above study discusses an 18-month-old boy suffering from tonsillitis, frequent enteritis, therapy-resistant conjunctivitis, frequent colds, earaches and increasing sleeping problems. He received his first chiropractic spinal adjustment and immediately thereafter the child demanded to be put to bed and slept peacefully until morning. His health returned to normal 5. One wonders, what would have happened to this child if he never had chiropractic care? A life of antibiotics and other medications? A life of continued sickness? 
 

When does A Baby need A Spinal Checkup?

According to the chiropractic pediatric specialist Larry Webster, DC, there are six times in a baby's first year of life when chiropractic examinations are especially important:

• After the birth process.
• When the baby starts to hold his/her head up.
• When the baby sits up.
• When the baby starts to crawl.
• When the baby starts to stand.
• When the baby starts to walk.6.

Toddlerhood through childhood is a very "physical" time. Children are generally extremely active, and during a routine day, their bodies are subjected to wrestling, jolts, falls etc. taking their spines outside the normal ranges of motion. This day by day stress on the spine can produce vertebral subluxations which results in abnormal nerve flow which then results in abnormal nerve flow, which then results in named disease entities. While most falls are minor, at times they can cause nerve-damaging subluxations with serious long-term consequences.3 For that reason all children need periodic spinal check-ups.

What are the benefits of chiropractic for kids?

Over many decades parents, clinicians, and researchers have noticed positive changes in behavioral, physical, and emotional health of children under chiropractic care. Behavioral conditions such as ADD/ADHD, anxiety, and also focus, concentration, and grades in school have been observed to improve with chiropractic care.

The nervous system collectively controls and influences all bodily functions; consequently removing nerve interference can result in improvement of many different health problems. Improvement is commonly seen in conditions such as colic, constipation, ear infections, allergies, asthma, sinus infections, persistent bedwetting, stomach aches, "growing pains" in the legs or arms, headaches, back and neck pain, scoliosis, and abnormal gait among many others.

Now you know the WHY and the HOW.

How about knowing the FEELING of RAISING HEALTHY PURPOSEFUL CHILDREN!


Don’t wait until you children show signs of symptoms to get their spine checked. Symptoms are usually the last thing to show up and the first to go away. It is easier to grow healthy children than to repair damaged adults. Life is so much better when your children never seem to get sick or have health problems. Compare that to the norm of routinely going from appointment to appointment constantly treating the symptoms of ill health.

It is not uncommon for me to hear parents state that their children don’t get sick as often and when they do get sick, it isn’t as severe. They begin to notice how their children have less ear infections and take fewer antibiotics (if any) and other drugs than other children. Starting from birth, remove interference to the body's inborn ability to heal itself and allow children to reach their health potential throughout their life.

Girl With Epilepsy Improves After Chiropractic Care

The February 3, 2011 issue of the Journal of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Research reports on the case of a nine year-old girl with a form of epilepsy who experienced a dramatic resolution of her condition after a short course of chiropractic care.

According to researchers Susan Hooper, PhD, DC & Allison Manis, DC, the young girl had been diagnosed by a neurologist with occipital lobe epilepsy a year previous to seeking chiropractic care. The neurologist recommended the anti-convulsion drug Neurontin.The girl's mother sought out chiropractic care after her daughter began to experience uncontrollable eye-blinking in her left eye in the previous two weeks. The eye-blinking was accompanied by nystagmus, an uncontrolable ratcheting movement of the eye. The eye movement episodes were intermittent and increased when the patient was tired.

The girl's mother also described fainting spells that occurred every three months. The fainting spells also included seizures, tics, spasms and dizziness. Her chiropractic examination revealed vertebral subluixations (misalignments) at the C1, C2 and C4 levels. After her first adjustment, the girl's symptoms decreased and only occurred at night. After two months of care, her blinking had stopped completely. Six weeks after her first adjustment, the blinking returned after the girl experienced pain and headache after a fall. Two more adjustments were delivered and the symptoms decreased significantly.
Follow-up over a two year period finds that no recurrence of the eye blinking or other symptoms have occurred. After discussing three previous similar studies, the authors concluded "evidence from this case supports the elimination of the upper cervical subluxation in the resolution of occipital lobe epilepsy signs and symptoms."

Commentary: The three studies quoted to support the research all involved children who were suffering numerous seizures every day who, when placed under chiropractic care, improved significantly.

In the studies, a 5 month-old who was having 8 seizures a day before chiropractic went to no seizures after a six week period of care. Another 5 year-old went from 2-3 seizures every two hours to less than one seizure per day and was taken off his anti-seizure medication entirely. The third child, also 5 years-old, started care at 30 seizures per day and after only 10 months of care was classified as non-epileptic by his neurologist.

“Back to the Basics…”

“God breathed into man the breath of life—we add—and left within, a body manager to regulate body functions including reproduction of cells. There is a power within you—you recognize it in others as the ability to move-see-hear-speak breathe. What is this power? Who can answer? We call that power INNATE INTELLIGENCE. You look around you and recognize there is a power that governs and controls the universe and all things in it. You may call it NATURE or you may say it is AN ACT OF GOD. But whatever you choose to call it, you do recognize a FORCE.
“Within YOU is a ‘grain’ of the universal power. If there were not, you would cease to move, see, hear, breathe, feel—exist as a HUMAN INTELLIGENT BEING. As long as that power within you has control of your body a state of HEALTH exists. Should something interfere with normal control of that internal power—then you cease to enjoy your birthright—HEALTH—instead a state of dis-ease becomes prominent.
“Healing is a process afforded you by your Creator and is above and beyond the control of man. Your Chiropractor does everything possible to help Innate heal—but he cannot heal nor can anyone else produce healing for you. When the right adjustment is made, Innate goes to work. You feel the results when dis-ease turns to ease.” – BJ Palmer
