ANTIBIOTICS
MIRACLE DRUGS OR A
PRESCRIPTION FOR FAILURE?
Should you be flying on antibiotics as the first line of defense for your child's
health care? Not according to the US
Center for Disease Control and
Prevention. They reported that up to half of the 110
million antibiotic
prescriptions written annually may be "inappropriate" for the disease being
treated. Vast overuse of antibiotics have led to bacteria developing antibiotic-resistant genes rendering the once called miracle drugs
ineffective. These resistant, potentially deadly strains now represent 15% of
the infections in hospital intensive care units. Biologist Bruce Levin of Emory
University says that
"The evolution of resistance isn't solely a matter of
misuse,
it's a matter of use."
The following articles will document the paradigm shift taking place in
society today away from drugs and surgery, towards Chiropractic and
natural health care. Many contemporary parents are taking a new approach. They are turning to their
family chiropractor for answers. Rather than hoping a drug will mask the symptoms of an illness, the Doctor of
Chiropractic is looking to
the cause of "dis-ease" in the body.
The chiropractor looks to the function of the nervous system for answers.
Housed in the spinal column, this intricate array of wiring dictates all functions of
the body through messages sent from the brain. Interference in
this system,
termed Vertebral Subluxation (spinal nerve interference) can
alter the normal function of the body. Through careful analysis, your family
chiropractor can locate and gently correct any areas of subluxation in your
child's growing
spine.
During the past century, Chiropractic has become the largest drug free
profession in the world. The Isenburg study shows that one third of all
parents now bring their children to non-medical doctors, primarily
Chiropractors. If you are like many parents, you too are dissatisfied with the
medical treatment
and drug therapy your child has been offered. Taking this new approach can
lead you in the direction towards health, vitality and wellness.
Ask the friendly chiropractic staff for a
consultation with the doctor to discuss your child's health.
You'll be glad you did!
Progressive doctors, parents and leading health
authorities are now acknowledging that true health and healing comes from
within!
