Pediatric Chiropractic Trusted Choice for Families

March 1, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

Chiropractic is a safe, holistic, drugless practice that is helping millions of people, including kids, improve their health. Pediatric chiropractic care focuses primarily on restoring health to a child’s spine, brain, and nervous system and keeping it healthy through every stage of growth and development. This principle is important for adults and children alike.

Pediatric chiropractic is a safe and life-changing practice that helps children heal naturally from all types of conditions. It also supports good posture to counterbalance technology, spectrum challenges, sitting too much and childhood falls. It helps kids develop with a healthier nervous system which is can improve every aspect of their lives.

How Is It Done?

Performing chiropractic techniques on children is much gentler than it is for adults. Children’s bodies are still in the development process, so chiropractors are trained to take extra care with newborns using extremely light touch or instrument techniques that are specific and effective. Chiropractors will answer every question, engage the child, and say what they are about to do next to keep both children and parents at ease. Most children and parents love receiving chiropractic care as they love and enjoy the experience and more importantly the results.

Can Chiropractic Really Help Children?

Chiropractic care has been shown to help kids with conditions such as ear infections, ADHD, autism, cerebral palsy, and more. Parents report that their children become calmer and more focused, sleep better, and heal quicker when their child is well adjusted. Pediatric chiropractic care is taught in many of the chiropractic colleges as well as through post-graduate seminars and certification programs. The goal is that kids live and grow healthy, and up to their full potential, 100% for 100 years.

Why Parents Keep Bringing Their Kids in to Get Chiropractic Adjustments

The birth process can be very traumatic to a child’s spine and nervous system. Learning to walk, childhood falls, and sports injuries can all cause problems in the spine and nervous system that lead to developmental challenges as children grow, even affecting their immune system. Parents appreciate chiropractic care because of the drug-free approach to health care as more kids than ever are developing dependencies on drugs. As kids continue to age, this dependency has the potential to grow stronger, leading to a drug-addicted life.

Chiropractic’s drug-free protocols can prevent this from happening as seen in the recent reports related to a 50% reduction in Opioids used with chiropractic care.

Pediatric chiropractic helps kids live healthy, drug-free lives. Discover how pediatric chiropractic can be the holistic, whole life answer for you and your family.

Health and Life Expectancy Comparison by Country

January 29, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

When it comes to health and longevity, it’s valuable to compare countries and systems so that you can make choices for your family on how you want to live.

Health System Tracker 2016 says that Japan has the greatest life expectancy at 84.1 years and the United States has one of the lowest at 78.6 years. Given the data, a clear distinction in health exists between the US and other comparable countries and it is time to start noticing and reverse the trend!

The American Way

In 1980, the US life expectancy was similar to other comparable countries. So what has happened since then? According to Health System Tracker, contributing factors to life expectancy include “quality of care, access to preventive health services, and lifestyle, diet, violence, and accidents.” Prior to 1980, all of these factors were different. And most importantly, there have been radical policy changes that are not working and are contributing to the decline.

The United States now falls extremely short in nearly all aspects of health and wellness. Consider the following:

“The US has the very highest infant mortality rate of all industrialized countries, with more American children dying at birth than in any other comparable nation, those who survive develop at least one chronic illness.”
The US administers 22 vaccine doses within the FIRST YEAR OF LIFE. “No other developed country administers as many vaccine doses in the first two years of life.”
“The US has the lowest life expectancy at birth among comparable countries.”
According to the CDC, life expectancy is considered to have dropped significantly due to a rise in deaths among younger age groups, with drug overdoses as a leading cause, representing a 36% increased rate since 2014!
The US autism rate is 1 in 59, this is a 15% increase from the previous two years (1 in 68, an already unacceptable number)
Inadequate health insurance coverage, described by International Healthcare System Profiles as, “fragmented,” “wide gaps in rates,” with 67.2% paying for private coverage
In 1983, the vaccine schedule included 24 doses of 7 vaccines by the age of 18. Today, that number has nearly tripled to 69 doses of 16 vaccines by age 18.
Pharmaceutical companies have spent hundreds of billions of dollars advertising directly to consumers since the 1980s

Is it any wonder why we have a low life expectancy, overwhelming rates of chronic disease, and consistently rising rates of childhood neurological diseases such as autism and ADHD? We are injecting high doses of neurotoxins into our children starting on the first day of life. The United States is one of the only countries instantly delivering hepatitis B vaccines to newborns in moms who do not even carry the disease. In fact, according to the Children’s Health Defense, 99.9% percent of women test negative for hepatitis B.

“We know that how we live now will impact how we age!”

The Japanese Way

Let’s look at Japan, who is a comparable country to the United States, yet has the greatest life expectancy:

In 1994, Japan began to steer away from mandatory vaccination when they recognized an increase in injuries, including a ban on MMR after a 2,000x increase in injury rates was seen over a 4 year period.
The 100 Year Lifestyle by Eric Plasker in Japanese
Currently offer recommended “routine” vaccines and “voluntary” vaccines, which must be paid out of pocket. There is no mandatory requirement for vaccination to enter pre-school or elementary school.
Least vaccinated children of any developed country
Considered to have the healthiest children and longest life expectancy in the world
Does not administer hepatitis B vaccine (unless mother tests positive), Tdap, or flu shots during pregnancy or to infants 6-months-old or younger
Universal healthcare coverage with preventive care such as screenings, health education, and counseling as covered costs

It is common to think that aging is a dreadful process, however, we know that how we live now will impact how we age, and we can choose how we want to get there. This might be hard to believe given that nursing homes and long-term care facilities are now the norm and are popping up on every corner. According to Time Magazine, “47% of men and 58% of women who are retirement age or older will experience a need for long-term care in the future.” In addition, there are 4,000 hospice care agencies which are a “$20 billion business that served 1.4 million Medicare patients in 2015.”

So how do we avoid many of the traditional maladies of growing old? Live a quality life starting today and take care of your body, mind and by keeping your brain, spine and nervous system functioning at full capacity. Begin to question the outside-in approaches such as vaccines and drugs embrace a more inside out health philosophy. More people in Japan are flourishing with many of the 100 Year Lifestyle principles as a part of their culture.

It’s time for a new approach for you and your family. Find a provider near you.

How Many Two Weeks is Okay?

December 4, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

Research by Dr. Videman out of Helsinki, Finland found that even minor traumas to the spine can cause scar tissue formation within two weeks. How many two weeks is okay with you?

Babies and Children

The birth process can be very traumatic to a newborn’s spine and cause pressure on the nerves that affect breathing, digestion, heart rate as well as the muscles and ligaments of the neck. Because additional research has found that nerve compression can exist without pain, this spinal trauma can be asymptomatic for decades. That is a lot of two weeks! How many two weeks is acceptable for you? How about your children?

If you have ever watched a child learning to walk, how many times a day do you think they fall on their bottom? This repetitive bouncing on their bum can cause their spine to become misaligned, creating subluxations that put pressure on the nerves, which can affect their growth and development and lie dormant for decades. This is also a lot of two weeks especially if they live to be 80, 90, or 100 years old. How do you think this will affect their quality of life as they age?

As the famous poet William Wordsworth said, “As the twig is bent, so grows the tree.” This is absolutely true for the spine. Both major and minor traumas that accumulate over time will affect the way your child’s spine grows.

Seriously, how many two weeks is acceptable for your children? Even more important than the structure of the spine, which is really important, is the impact that these traumas have on the function of the nervous system.

Nerve Pressure and Organ Function

Research shows that the weight of a dime—not a lot of pressure—can reduce transmission. Stretching a nerve as little as six degrees can reduce nerve function up to 70 percent according to Journal of Spine and Joint Surgery.

These traumas that affect the structure also affect the function because of the relationship between the spine and nervous system.

Your nervous system controls and coordinates the function of every cell, tissue, and organ of your body. This includes your sinuses, heart, lungs, liver, kidney, stomach, intestine, and every other organ as well as your arms, legs, hormonal balance, and literally every function that is both conscious and unconscious that your body performs.

Symptoms

As the two weeks accumulate from these traumas, both the function of the spine and the nervous system are compromised. These compromises can be disguised as a myriad of symptoms ranging from allergies, digestive disturbances, and attention deficits to headaches, neck pain, or backaches.

Unfortunately, many of these traumas lie asymptomatic for decades of two weeks until the body can no longer adapt and breaks down with more severe health problems, pain, and even contributions to sickness and disease. Dr. Henry Windsor conducted research that found a nearly 100% correlation between the compromised nerve connections in an injured spine and diseases of the internal organs. (The Windsor Autopsies, The Medical Times)

More than 15 million people each year become diagnosed with osteoarthritis, a condition that results from decades of two weeks that influence the joints of the body.

Since deterioration can occur within 2 weeks, many individuals and families make weekly and bi-weekly adjustments a central piece of their healthy lifestyle. Lifestyle Care keeps your spine in balance with no pressure on the nervous system so your body can function at higher levels. Don’t wait until you “feel” it. You may have waited lots of two weeks too long.

Drugging Our Children – An Excerpt

December 4, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

If you or someone you know has a child who is being considered for psychiatric drugs, here is some important information that you should consider. It is from the chapter contributed by Gwen Olsen in the book, Drugging Our Children. Olsen is also the author of Confessions of an Rx Drug Pusher and was a top-selling pharmaceutical sales representative for more than a decade. Her personal experience and unique insider’s perspective is both eye-opening and mind-boggling. Can you handle the truth?

Health Care or Scare Care?

“The pharmaceutical industry is continually on the lookout for expansion markets. Our children are recognized by the pharmaceutical industry to be the most lucrative, long-term expansion market currently available to them. Fear created in parents can send them racing to the doctor’s office and/or pharmacy in an attempt to protect their children. After all, isn’t that what all good parents do?”

Children Are a Lucrative Market

“Children are a lucrative expansion market for any drug, particularly one that requires lifelong maintenance therapy once initiated. Psychiatric diagnoses are highly subjective and based primarily on third-party interpretation of maladaptive behaviors, rather than medical diagnostic tests such as blood or urine tests, or PET and CAT scans. So, increasing psychiatric drug sales is primarily contingent upon increasing the number of psychiatric diagnoses and public awareness of the various diagnoses that will, in turn, result in the expansion of new patient populations to be treated.

“The challenge that exists when marketing psychotropic drugs for children is that the pharmaceutical industry cannot market directly to the end consumer. In the case of children, doctors, parents, teachers, counselors, administrators, caretakers, legislators, and so on must be persuaded that these medications are both necessary and beneficial to children.

“To meet this goal, it is necessary for Pharma to insidiously exert its influence in every aspect of pharmaceutical development, research, reporting, regulation, funding, advertising, promotion, and distribution. And, indeed, they do! The end result is a stealth marketing campaign that can wear many hats and disguises as it manipulates and promotes its self-serving agenda unilaterally throughout the entire health care system.”

Side Effects of Psychotropic Drugs

The side effects of psychotropic drugs are scary. According to Drugs.com, just a few of the side effects of Adderall, for example, are nervousness, restlessness, trouble sleeping, confusion, new or worsening mental or mood problems, aggression, agitation, anxiety, delusions, depression, slurred speech, uncontrolled muscle movement, and tiredness. Adderall is an amphetamine with addicting properties that make it difficult to stop.

Healthier Choices Available

It is important to consider every alternative before you let fear drive you to medications. The body’s innate intelligence can become clouded by medications and their side effects. Prior to committing your child to take these potentially addictive drugs, review all of your options including the benefits of Chiropractic Lifestyle Care. You and your loved ones deserve to enjoy a healthy drug free life.

Preparing for a Healthy Pregnancy

December 4, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

Give Your Baby a Healthy Start

Planning a family is an exciting time for any couple. There are books to read, videos to watch and doting relatives all too willing to share their stories. With the possibility that your baby could live to be 80, 90, 100 years and beyond, soon-to-be parents need to understand their choices and how those choices will affect the baby for his or her lifetime.

The best thing you can do for your baby is to give him or her a good head start in life by having a healthy pregnancy. But did you know that having a healthy pregnancy can actually begin before conception? Healthy lifestyle habits prior to conception will better your chances of providing the best developmental environment for your child while they are in the womb.

Risky behaviors should be avoided, such as using drugs, over-indulging in alcohol, and exposure to tobacco products. Just as important as the list of “what not to do when planning a baby” is the list of “things to start doing.” This includes proper nutrition, prenatal vitamins, exercise, and stress reduction.

Proper Nutrition is Vital

Proper nutrition is vitally important to the health of your baby. The food you eat becomes the building blocks your baby’s Innate Intelligence will use to develop their eyes, ears, lungs, heart, muscles, skin and brain. There are many ways to determine which foods are most beneficial and why, but to keep things simple, follow this guideline: If it grows, eat it. If it comes in a package with an ingredient list of more than 5-6 items, choose something else. Foods that have been processed the least usually offer more nutrients, are more readily digested, and are healthier than those foods that are highly processed and contain chemicals.
In addition to eating healthy, prenatal vitamins can ensure that moms receive adequate amounts of Vitamins A, B-1, B-2, Niacin, B-6, B-12, C, D, and E, as well as Folic Acid, Calcium, Iron, and usually Zinc. Prenatal vitamins should be considered 6 weeks before conception. Choose vitamins from a trusted source that don’t include fillers and chemicals. Check the ingredient list to see if your vitamins were derived from a whole food source, or if they were engineered in a chemical factory. Remember, what you put in your body directly affects your unborn child.

Get Your ESS in Shape

Exercise is beneficial to both Mom and baby. Studies show that a mom who exercises through the duration of her pregnancy may experience little to no morning sickness, nausea, back pain, swelling, and other irritations sometimes seen in pregnancy. All 3 components of The 100 Year Lifestyle Workout should be a part of your fitness plan. So wherever you are on your journey toward motherhood, the time has come to Get Your ESS in Shape: Endurance, Strength and Structure (your spine and nervous system).

Moms should take all steps necessary to lessen stress before and during pregnancy. Stress takes a toll on the mother’s body and can adversely affect her ability to adapt. Chiropractic adjustments relieve the effects of stress on the nervous system, allowing the body to function and adapt at higher levels.

The lifestyle choices you make now will have an effect on your baby from the moment of conception until their very last breath 80, 90, and maybe even 100 years down the road. Take the steps necessary to start enjoying a healthy active life while providing your baby the foundations for theirs.

Raising Super Healthy Families

December 4, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

Raising Super Healthy Families is the goal of every parent. Moms and dads innately want the best for their beloved. With the right health philosophy and action steps, you and your loved ones can enjoy an excellent quality of life together. Here’s a super healthy philosophy with some science and common sense to back it up.

The Health Oriented Philosophy

Health comes from within. The moment you were conceived, one cell from your mother and one from your father united to form a unique and magnificent you. This united cell multiplied over and over again during the next nine months into 80 quadrillion cells without any help from the scientific community. Your heart, lungs, fingers, and toes, were all positioned by your innate intelligence to develop and function properly.

As long as there is no interference to this process, everything can develop perfectly and you are prepared to be delivered into this world. This innate intelligence stays with you after you are born. With the nervous system as its conduit, this intelligence controls and coordinates the function of your entire body. Keeping this system free from interference is essential to a healthy life. This innate philosophy strengthens you. It keeps you healthy in mind and body. If you teach this philosophy to your children you will raise them as strong, confident individuals who trust their body, immune system, and genetic potential. They will be “super” healthy kids.

The Sickness Oriented Philosophy

On the other hand, teaching a drug-oriented philosophy from birth can lead to drug-dependency as an adult. Too many people buy into the philosophy that they need drugs to be healthy.

While this may be true in limited cases of extreme pain, sickness and disease, it is not true or healthy as an overall philosophy or lifestyle.

Think about the impact of a “drug first” philosophy. When your baby gets sick for the first time, you have a choice. If you do not have confidence in your child’s natural immune system, you might immediately panic and give your child a drug. In their toddler years when they get a cold or infection you may give them a drug right away so they won’t “suffer”. Each time they say they do not feel good, rather than rely on their body’s innate wisdom, do you call in a prescription or go to the store and get them an over-the-counter drug?

When your child is old enough to go to school, the teacher might inform you that they are struggling to concentrate or sit still. The child might be labeled and immediately given a drug.

What is the message that is constantly sent to a child under these “drug first” conditions? If a child is taught that they should take a drug every time they do not feel good, this drug-first behavior becomes conditioned. Is it any wonder that when this child has a minor ailment, does not make the team, or has a social conflict that they turn to drugs to “feel better?”

Which Will You Choose?

Your health care philosophy is your choice. The 100 Year Lifestyle and Chiropractic Lifestyle Care deliver an innate health care philosophy which is working for millions. It can also work for you and your family. Isn’t it time you begin trusting yourself and this innate philosophy and begin living the “super” healthy life that you and your children deserve?
