EAR INFECTIONS
A NEW APPROACH
Should antibiotics be given as the first line of defense for your child's ear
infections? Not according to Dr. Alfred Berg, a co-chair of a federal panel of
experts and a professor at the University of Washington. He stated that in
most cases, the condition disappears within three to six months without
medical treatment He said antibiotics are of limited value, and
stated, "Antibiotics are a valid option for treating OME (otitis media, a
middle ear infection) but they are not ... the preferred option in
early stages of the condition". The Agency for Health Care
Policy and Research's federally sponsored panel concluded that
most children who have ear fluid buildup do not require surgical or antibiotic
treatment. The Journal of the American Medial Association (JAMA) reported that
amoxicillin (the most common drug treatment given for ear infections), "is not effective in the treatment of
persistent asymptomatic, middle ear effusions (fluid build up) in infants and
children."
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. 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!
