Naturally
Support Your Child’s Immunity Today,
parents have many concerns to face about their
children's health and well-being. In spite of the continuous rise in health
care costs, children's immune related diseases are increasing at alarming
rates. Asthma, allergies, diabetes, ear infections, are
just some of the disorders we are seeing reach
epidemic proportions. Children and parents are missing more and more
school and work days as a result. Drugs are not the answer… Routine
treatment for these conditions, drugs, may
sometimes change the symptoms, but are unable to offer a real state of
health. Newer drugs are marketed
all the time with the hope of cures, but each drug has its limitations in its
treatment. Furthermore, these drugs all have lasting side effects which can
cause even more damage to these children's long term health and well-being. Current
research today is emphasizing the importance of supporting children's immune
systems, naturally. Responsible MDs are staying current with this research, and
are taking a "watch and wait" approach, with antibiotics, for example.
Many doctors are realizing that the only way to real health is to work with the
body's own magnificent healing capabilities. The Vital Nerve System…. Science
has long recognized the importance of the nervous system in health. The World
Book Encyclopedia of Science has this to say, “All body systems would be
immobilized without the nervous system. It controls and regulates every body
activity down to the workings of the tiniest cell." The
nervous system orchestrates the health and function of all body systems.
Recent scientific findings claim that the nerve system
and the immune system are very closely
connected. Both of these systems are
directly dependent upon each other to function correctly. Therefore, your
child's healthy immune system is dependent upon a healthy nervous system! Spinal
Research in Children… Several
years ago a German medical study was published showing the implications of
spinal misalignment and the effectiveness of the specific, spinal adjustment on
children's health. More than 1,000 children participated in the study. Many of
these children had been experiencing lowered resistance states with chronic
infections like ear, nose and throat infections. Dr. Gutman stated he was,
"constantly amazed how even with the lightest adjustment with the index
finger, the clinical picture normalizes, sometimes gradually, but often
immediately." What a wonderful study to demonstrate the relationship
between a healthy nerve and immune system in children. Damaged nerve systems…
Children's spines can become misaligned in many ways. The birth process is one such cause. Dr. Abraham Towbin, Harvard medical researcher in the department of neuropathology tells us "the birth process even under optimal, controlled conditions is potentially a traumatic event for the fetus." The usual force experienced as the baby descends down the birth canal and then the force applied during delivery are common causes of infant spinal injury. As
the child grows other traumas frequently occur without parents realizing their
effects on the spinal nerves. Learning to walk, ride a bike and skate each have
their share of falls resulting in spinal injury. Ongoing sport traumas, poor
posture, and other typical childhood activities all affect the developing
spine and the delicate nervous system it houses. Damage to the spinal nerves
will affect overall health and well-being in one way or another!. An established science… Doctors
of Chiropractic have long recognized the importance of a healthy nervous system
resulting in greater health. For over 100 years, clinical results have shown the
safety and efficacy of the chiropractic adjustment. The
specialized schooling for Doctors of Chiropractic trains them to locate
misalignments in the spine which are negatively affecting nerve system function.
Only the Chiropractor is qualified to remove interferences to the nervous system
with gentle, specific, spinal adjustments. ADDITIONAL
