The nervous system controls and coordinates the function of all the systems in the body: This is why nerve interference can impair any aspect of health. The chiropractic adjustment restores nerve system function, allowing the body the ability to express a greater state of health and well-being. Your chiropractor will take a case history and perform an exam to determine if spinal subluxations are present. Given that some chiropractors do not work with children, it is always best to call the office first. Some practitioners tailor their practice around children and focus on preventative health, while others focus on other specialties.

All chiropractors on the ICPA website www. Adjustments can be performed with hands, instruments, or pillowlike blocks. Most parents report that their children enjoy their chiropractic adjustments and look forward to subsequent visits. They also report that their children experience a greater level of health while under regular chiropractic care.

Photo courtesy of Dr. In , autism spectrum disorder ASD was so rare that it occurred in just 1 in 10, births. By , ASD, which is characterized by a range of learning and social impairments, occurred in 1 in children—with no sign of leveling off. It is a global phenomenon, occurring in industrialized nations around the world. In the United Kingdom, teachers report that 1 in 86 primary school children has special needs related to the autism spectrum. Today, most researchers theorize that autism is caused by a complex interplay of genetics and environmental triggers.

A far simpler possibility worthy of investigation is the pervasive use of prenatal ultrasound, which can cause potentially dangerous thermal effects. Healthcare practitioners involved in prenatal care have reason to be concerned about the use of ultrasound. Although proponents point out that ultrasound has been used in obstetrics for 50 years and early studies indicated it was safe for both mother and child, enough research has implicated it in neurodevelopmental disorders to warrant serious attention. The brains of the offspring showed damage consistent with that found in the brains of people with autism.

The research, funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, also implicated ultrasound in neurodevelopmental problems in children, including dyslexia, epilepsy, mental retardation, and schizophrenia, and showed that damage to brain cells increased with longer exposures. While some questions remain unanswered, based on available information, health practitioners must seriously consider the possible consequences of both routine and diagnostic use of ultrasound, as well as electronic fetal heart monitors, which might not be safe, either.

If pregnant women knew all the facts, would they choose to expose their unborn children to a technology that—despite its increasingly entrenched position in modern obstetrics—has little or no proven benefit? If pregnant women knew all the facts, would they choose to expose their unborn children to a technology that—despite its increasingly entrenched position in modern obstetrics— has little or no proven benefit? Problems With Sound and Heat Ultrasound operators often find it challenging to keep the transducer positioned over the part of the fetus the operator is trying to visualize.

When fetuses move away from the stream of high-frequency sound waves, they might be feeling vibrations, heat or both. Across mammalian species, elevated maternal or fetal body temperatures have been shown to result in birth defects in offspring. Therefore, if repeated experiments show that elevated heat caused by ultrasound damages fetal brains in rats and other mammals, a logical assumption is that it can harm human brains, too. The risks to the baby are potentially higher in commercial enterprises due to the higher acoustic output required for highdefinition images, a potentially long session—as technicians issue 22 pathways.

While people can differ up to 1. An increase of only 1. A core temperature of about Temperature affects the actual shape of the proteins that create enzymes, and improperly shaped proteins are unable to do their jobs correctly. As the amount of heat or duration of exposure increases, enzyme reactions become less efficient until they are permanently inactivated, unable to function correctly even if the temperature returns to normal. Because temperature is critical to proper enzyme reactions, the body has built-in methods to regulate its core temperature.

For obvious reasons, fetuses cannot cool off by sweating. However, they have another defense against temperature increases: Each cell contains something called heat shock HS proteins that temporarily. Complicating the issue is the fact that ultrasound heats bone at a different rate than muscle, soft tissue or amniotic fluid. Furthermore, as bones calcify, they absorb and retain more heat.

Elevated temperatures that might only temporarily affect the mother can have devastating effects on a developing embryo. Recently researchers linked two mutations of the same X chromosome gene to autism in two unrelated families, although they do not yet understand at what stage these genes were damaged. Because sibling and twin studies show a higher prevalence of autism among children in families with one autistic child, geneticists expected to find inherited factors, but despite millions of dollars invested in the search, they found no clear indication that ASD is inherited.

Perhaps scientists need look no further than at the thermal effects of ultrasound for answers. If prenatal ultrasound is responsible for some cases of autism, it stands to reason that if a twin were autistic, the other twin would have a high probability of being affected, since both would have been exposed to ultrasound at the same time. In both identical and fraternal twins, one twin could be more severely affected than the other if he or she happened to take the brunt of the heat or sound waves.

In the case of fraternal twins, since autism strikes males between three to five times more often than females, the sex of the twins also could make a difference in outcome. These variables, along with factors including cavitation a bubbling effect caused by ultrasound that can damage cells and on-screen safety indicators that may be inaccurate by a factor ranging from 2 to 6, make the impact of ultrasound uncertain even in expert hands. A study showed that simply being a twin substantially increased the likelihood of autism, making twinning a risk factor.

Could this increased twin risk factor have to do with the practice of giving mothers with multiple gestations more ultrasounds than those expecting single births? While not discounting the role genetics may play in autism, the possible impact of prenatal ultrasound deserves serious consideration. Ultrasound Warnings Unheeded The idea that a prenatal ultrasound can be hazardous is not new. Despite the findings of these two major scientific gatherings, in the FDA approved an eightfold increase in the potential acoustical output of ultrasound equipment, greatly increasing the possibility of disastrous pregnancy outcomes caused by overheating.

This increase in potential thermal effects happened during the same period of time the incidence of autism increased nearly sixtyfold. If the culprit is heat, then what about other situations in which heat impacts pregnancy? All of this taken together establishes the fact that heat, whether caused by elevated maternal temperature or by an ultrasound transducer remaining over an area for too long,. Why would anyone think that intruding upon the continuous, seamless development of the fetus, which has for millions of years completed its work without assistance, be without consequences?

Vaccine and Thimerosal Controversy Despite long-standing evidence that ultrasound induces thermal effects and that thermal effects can harm fetal brain development, the cause of autism has remained so elusive to researchers that many autism societies use a puzzle piece as part of their logos. Particularly confounding is the fact that ASD plagues the children of high-income, well-educated families who have the best obstetrical care money can buy.

These are largely women who take their prenatal vitamins, observe healthy diets, refrain from smoking and drinking and attend regularly scheduled prenatal visits. How is it that even taking all these measures, they still bear children with profound neurologically based problems? Some believe that childhood vaccines, at first available only to people who could afford them, cause autism.

Many vaccines contained thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative. Thimerosal was thought to have a cumulative neurotoxic effect on children, especially as the number of childhood vaccines increased during the same period of years that the prevalence of autism increased. However, after an exhaustive review in , the FDA found no evidence of harm in the use of thimerosal in childhood vaccines. Pharmaceutical companies complied, and ultimately reduced the infant thimerosal exposure by 98 percent.

Interestingly, not only did autism rates fail to decrease, they continued to increase. ASD increases are between 10 and 17 percent every year, according to the Autism Society of America, indicating that thimerosal is not to blame. Thimerosal was not the only area of concern in the vaccineautism controversy. However, a large, retrospective epidemiological study of more than 30, children in Japan between and found that the autism rate continued to climb after the MMR vaccine was withdrawn. Those results were no different than the outcome of a study published in The Lancet that showed no corresponding jump in autism in the United Kingdom after the introduction of the MMR vaccine.

Global Autism Epidemic Statistics on the increase of autism worldwide among industrialized nations show that it has emerged in just the last few decades across vastly different environments and cultures. No common factor in the water, air, local pesticides, diet, or even building materials and clothing can explain the emergence and relentless increase in this serious, life-long neurodevelopmental disorder. Yet what all industrial countries do have in common is the quiet yet pervasive change in obstetrical care: All of them use routine prenatal ultrasound on pregnant women.

In countries with nationalized healthcare, where virtually all pregnant women are exposed to ultrasound, the autism rates are even higher than in the United States, where, due to disparities in income and health insurance, some 30 percent of pregnant women do not yet undergo ultrasound scanning. The Changes in Ultrasound In considering initial studies indicating that prenatal ultrasound is safe, the ways in which the technology and its applications have continually changed and how that has altered the potential exposure of unborn children must be taken into account.

In addition to the huge increase in allowable acoustic output in the early s, the following changes have made the field of prenatal ultrasound riskier than ever: Fetal heart monitors that are used prior to delivery—sometimes for hours—have not been shown to reduce neurological problems and might actually increase them. One of the most popular nonmedical uses of ultrasound, which can extend a medically indicated session, is to determine the sex of the baby. Could this have a connection to the increase in birth defects involving the genitals and urinary tract?

The list of unexplained birth defects is not a short list, and in light of what is emerging about prenatal ultrasound, scientists should take another look at all recent trends. They include the baffling 30 percent increase in premature births since , now affecting one in every eight children, with many showing subsequent neurological damage. Although many claim that ultrasound benefits outweigh the risks, that statement has no basis and much evidence is to the contrary.

A large randomized trial of 15, pregnant women, conducted by the RADIUS Study Group, found that in low-risk cases, high-risk subgroups, and even in cases of multiple gestations or major anomalies, the use of ultrasound did not result in improved outcome in the pregnancies. The argument that ultrasound is either reassuring to the parents or provides an early opportunity for bonding pales in the face of the possible risks that are emerging as new data become available. Parents and healthcare practitioners might find it hard to turn away from this window on the womb and resume more traditional practices in obstetrics and midwifery.

However, with the disturbing trend in autism and other equally troubling, unexplained birth-related trends, it does not make sense to blindly employ a technology that is not reliably safe for unborn babies. She is particularly concerned about ways in which overlooked scientific principles impact public health. Readers can contact her at caroline. Reprinted with permission from Midwifery Today, Issue 80, Winter There is a little-known law in New York— Public Health Law, Section , passed in —that requires all physicians and midwives to fully disclose and require informed consent from laboring women regarding the use of all drugs during labor and delivery.

Unfortunately, many healthcare providers fail to tell their patients about the potential side effects and possible risks involved in adminis-. Pitocin, a registered trademark of JHP Pharmaceuticals, is a synthetic form of oxytocin, the natural hormone that stimulates the onset of labor, promotes a sense of well-being, and enhances maternal bonding.

Pitocin is given to women to induce or augment labor. It is manufactured from the pituitary extract of various animals, combined with acetic acid for pH adjustment and less than 1 percent chloretone as a preservative. The routine use of Pitocin is not backed by any scientific data, and the side effects of its use during labor and sometimes during the third stage of labor to assist the expulsion of the placenta rarely are discussed with the laboring woman.

Regardless of how many labors are induced with Pitocin, most of them are not medically necessary. During the s, Dr. The mother should receive oxygen and continuous electronic fetal monitoring, since fetal distress is more common with Pitocin use and needs to be carefully watched. The natural rhythm of labor is supported by the release of oxytocin in bursts, as needed.

Pitocin, in contrast, is administered as a constant IV drip that confines most women to bed. This decreases their ability to control the escalating pain caused by drug-induced uterine activity, and laboring women on Pitocin are more likely to require pain medication that slows labor.

Think of the dichotomy: Pitocin is administered to speed up labor, but the increased level of pain requires medication that slows it down. In addition, Pitocin often has no effect on cervical dilation, even though the contractions it induces are much stronger. Dangerous Consequences Pitocin can cause a tumultuous, difficult labor and tetanic contractions, rupture of the uterus and dehiscence of a uterine scar, lacerations of the cervix, retained placenta, or postpartum hemorrhage.

Postpartum perineal and pelvic floor pain is increased as a result of augmented uterine contractions. Fetal complications might include fetal asphyxia and neonatal hypoxia, physical injury, and neonatal jaundice. The use of Pitocin also might be a factor in cerebral palsy, due to oxygen deprivation, and autism in the child. At the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association, Dr. When he gave autistic children oxytocin, it made some of them four times more talkative and twice as happy, although some patients did not respond.

Consider how the heightened, augmented uterine contractions associated with Pitocin might impact the soft fetal cranium, and the possible injurious effect on the cranio-sacral system that could result. Pitocin was first synthesized in , and became available for use two years later.

By , it was an established medical fact that its failure rate was 40 to 50 percent. In , an FDA advisory committee removed its approval of Pitocin for the elective induction of labor. Interestingly, the drug never was approved by the FDA for use in augmenting labor. Safe Alternatives for Labor While not all women and their babies are harmed by the use of Pitocin, there are effective, natural ways to coax labor without risk. Sex always has been a recognized method of starting labor. Orgasms cause the release of oxytocin that might initiate the onset of labor in late pregnancy.

Sperm contains prostaglandins that encourage the cervix to ripen. There are numerous other ways to induce labor, as well. Labor is a complex physiological function that begins with the harmonious synchronicity of the fetus, mother, and placenta. Any intervention of these essential participants offsets the balance and rhythm of labor. Babies, like fruit, ripen in their own time. The best way to promote a healthy pregnancy, labor, and birth is to let the forces of nature work at their own pace. A naturopath or herbalist should be consulted before recommending this or any herb to pregnant clients.

It is the safest sleeping position for young babies, regardless of where they sleep. Never drink, take drugs or use prescription medications that cause drowsiness if you are co-sleeping with your infant. Alcohol, drugs and some medications will impair your ability to wake up if needed. Make sure you use the proper bedding and that your mattress fits snugly to the bed frame and headboard. There should be no gaps into which a baby might slide. Eliminate pillows, comforters, quilts, or other soft or plush items. Never place a baby to sleep in an adult bed alone.

They provide the convenience of co-sleeping without the risk of a sleeping adult rolling over on the baby. Tips for Safely Sharing Your Bedroom with Baby Of the many philosophical debates in the world of infant care, few are as combustible as whether or not parents should share a bed bed sharing with their babies. Critics warn of dire consequences, from an increased risk of SIDS to difficulty in learning to sleep independently later in life. But an increasing body of research supports what many Eastern cultures have always believed. Having baby sleep nearby can be safe and beneficial for both parents and child.

Despite institutional and social pressure to put babies to sleep by themselves, studies show that at least 50 percent of all American parents co-sleep with their infants at some point.

These occur mainly in the evening, and finally stop when the baby is about three months of age occasionally older. When crying, the baby is often inconsolable, though walking, rocking, or taking the baby for a drive might settle her temporarily. To be called colicky, it is necessary that the baby is gaining weight well and is otherwise healthy. The notion of colic has been extended to include almost any fussiness or crying in the baby, and this might be valid, since we do not really know what colic is.

There is no treatment for colic, although many medications and behavior strategies have been tried, without any proven benefit. Everyone knows someone whose baby was cured of colic by a particular treatment. In breastfed babies, there are three known situations that may result in fussiness or colic. Again, it is assumed that the baby is gaining weight adequately and that the baby is healthy.

Colic is one of the mysteries of nature. Nobody knows what it really is, but everyone has an opinion. In a typical colic situation, the. One of the ways in which it changes is that the amount of fat increases as the baby nurses longer at the breast. This can result in the baby getting fewer calories, and thus needing to feed more frequently. If the baby takes in a lot of milk to make up for the reduced concentration of calories , he may spit up. Because of the relatively low fat content of the milk, the stomach empties quickly, and a large load of milk sugar lactose arrives in the intestine all at once.

The protein that digests the sugar lactase may not be able to handle such a large amount of milk sugar at one time and the baby will have the symptoms of lactose intolerance— crying, gas, and explosive, watery, greenish bowel movements. This may occur even during the feeding. These babies are not lactose intolerant. They have problems with lactose because of the sort of information women get about breastfeeding.

This is not a reason to switch to lactose-free formula. What can be done? Mothers all over the world have breastfed babies successfully without being able to tell time. Breastfeeding problems are most prevalent in societies where everyone wears a watch. If the baby feeds for only a short time only, the mother can compress the breast to keep the baby nursing. Please note that a baby may be on the breast for two hours, but may actually feed for only a few minutes. In that case, the milk taken by the baby may still be relatively low in fat. This is the rationale for compressing the breast.

Let the baby finish on one breast compress milk into his mouth if necessary to keep him swallowing longer , but if he wants more, then offer the other side. A proper latch is the key to easy breastfeeding. Overactive Letdown Reflex A baby who gets too much milk too quickly may become very fussy and very irritable at the breast, and could be considered colicky. Typically, the baby is gaining very well. A baby with this issue typically starts nursing and, after a few seconds or minutes, starts to cough, choke, or struggle at the breast. After this, the baby will frequently return to the breast, but might still be fussy and repeat the performance.

The baby may be unhappy with the rapid flow, and impatient when the flow slows. This can be a very trying time for everyone. On rare occasions, a baby might even start refusing to take the breast after several weeks, typically around 3 months of age. In some situations, feeding even two or three feedings on one breast before changing to the other breast can be helpful. If you experience engorgement on the unused breast, express just enough to feel comfortable.

Do not postpone the feeding by giving water a breastfeeding baby does not need water even in very hot weather or a pacifier. Lying down to nurse sometimes works very well. If lying sideways to feed does not help, try lying flat on your back with the baby lying on top of you to nurse. Gravity helps decrease the flow rate. Loud music, bright lights, and lots of action are not conducive to a successful feeding. If you think the baby is fussy because the flow is too slow, it will help to compress the breast to keep up the flow. A good latch is the key to easy breastfeeding. It is available without prescription, but it is fairly expensive and works only occasionally.

Indeed, it should be considered a good thing. Ask your healthcare provider or lactation consultant if you have any questions. Nonetheless, one treatment is for the mother of a colicky breastfed baby to stop eating or drinking dairy products. These include milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream, and anything else that contains milk. Intolerance to milk protein has nothing to do with lactose intolerance.

A mother who is herself lactose intolerant should also still breastfeed her baby. What Can Be Done? There is no need to drink milk in order to make milk. Feed the baby as soon as the baby shows any sign of hunger. If the baby is still half asleep, all the better. One week off milk products will not cause any problems.

Actually, evidence suggests that breastfeeding may protect a mother against the development of osteoporosis, even if she does not take extra calcium. The baby will get all he needs. Everyone will know someone whose baby got better when the mother stopped broccoli, beef, bananas, bread, etc. A mother who takes all this advice at once might find that she is eating nothing but white rice. Our diets are too complex to be sure exactly what, if anything, is affecting the baby. Final Note Be patient.

The problem usually gets better no matter what. Formula is not the answer. Because of the more regular flow, some babies do improve on formula, but formula is not breast milk. In fact, the baby would also improve on breast milk from the bottle because of the regularity of the flow. Even if nothing works, time usually helps. The days and nights might seem eternal, but the weeks will fly by. He has worked as a physician internationally and founded the first hospital-based breastfeeding clinic in Canada in Newman has written several publications on breastfeeding.

In he published a help guide for professionals and mothers called Dr. The less we interfere with the natural process of learning, the more we can observe how much infants learn all the time. The nervous system has aspects of plasticity. As the nervous system develops a balance between gross motor activities, neural patterning occurs. Each movement and transitional phase body posturing between movements such as crawling or sitting helps mold the nervous system in its development.

Next, homolateral function of the visual and auditory mechanisms develops during the pons level at 16 weeks to six months. Then, from six months to one year, the mid-brain develops, providing the cross-pattern mechanism and using both sides of the body together. This is an important area of development, which prepares the child to function in an upright position. Early cortical function develops in the age range of 1 to 5 years. During this stage, there is continued bilateral development, and walking begins.

Finally, from the ages of 3 to 8, cortical hemispheric dominance develops, giving right- or left-handedness and continued neurologic organization. The speed of development through these early years is already a marvelous accomplishment. Ironically, forcing new activities for which the child is not neurologically prepared disturbs organization, and in many instances may actually cause the child to eventually be inefficiently integrated.

Scandinavian Indie Digest Vol.3 Issue #22

After receiving her medical degree in Vienna, she developed what was to become her life-long interest in the physiology in gross motor development. Her research focused on the differences in gross motor development of normal children under two different conditions: Due to findings of her research Dr. Spontaneous, self-initiated activities by the infant have an essential value for his physical and mental development in that the pleasure evolving from exploration and mastery is self-reinforcing.

Subsequently, the infant becomes intrinsically motivated to learn. They [maintain] a stable, high activity level during the whole period of learning new motor skills, and change their postures on average of at least once per minute. Family practitioners need to inform parents of the research that supports allowing children to move within the transitional stages between each posture.

However, this practice might need to be reconsidered. Consider the following guide for parental intervention for child development: Give a child the greatest control over her body and environment. This involves placing the child in the prone or face-up position, since in this position children have the greatest access to their hands and legs as well as a full view of the world around them. From this position they develop good hand eye coordination and as well as the transitions needed to turn from back to stomach to begin the process of crawling.

Refrain from placing children in positions they cannot maintain on their own, including on their stomach before they can roll from their back by themselves, or sitting or standing until they can achieve these positions on their own. The process of development involves both muscular and neurological development of proper transitions.

Getting your child to sit up or walk quickly is not necessarily in his best interest. Another important childhood skill, in addition to transitional developmental skills, is learning how to self-soothe. A child crying is an indication of many things. Sometimes it is a child expressing himself or relieving tension; in some instances it may even offer a therapeutic value. What RIE has found over many decades is that a child will place their hands in their mouth when they want something to suck.

By not using a pacifier, children learn good hand-to-mouth development and can soothe themselves when needed. Resources for Infant Educarers RIE offers publications and classes that new parents may find of great interest. New parents will find authorities everywhere telling them what to do for their children, yet often the best advice is to use common sense— allowing children to express their individual developmental patterns, and giving them the greatest control over their personal environment while they learn coping skills for self-soothing.

These concepts are not about parental neglect, but instead involve being attentive to children in a manner that supports their individual growth and coping skills.

We are not alone in our parenting ways. We are all here together, connected as part of the whole. And the parents who do it all differently are connected with us, too.

We just may not recognize it yet. The illusion of separation hurts. If I look at a mother who yells at her child in the park and see her as ignorant and careless, I create my own isolation and pain. She is part of me. She is a mother in my own movie, my own life. I have a mother here with me who is having a hard time, and a child who is hurting. How can I help? For my sake, I help because I want a kinder view for me and my children.

If I see garbage on the ground in the park, I pick it up because I want the park to be clean. If I see a yelling parent, I want a kind parent and child; so I help. I bring kindness into the world of that moment. I may validate or offer physical help if I can and if it is needed and welcomed. Sometimes a loving and understanding eye contact will make the whole difference. In that split second, the mother connects with me, knowing she is not alone, not judged; she and I are a community. She Aldort, PhD may calm down and kindness may flow through her. I often receive calls from mothers who feel isolated; no one else sleeps with their children, lets them be their own way, etc.

If you see them as separate, wrong, or stupid, you isolate yourself and exclude them from the possibility of love. It is the same when we brag about our children: The joy is not personal. Each child is part of the whole. We can rejoice with the successes and happiness of all children and parents. Each parent is part of creating the whole. Our children are not mine or yours as individual parents, but ours to celebrate and nurture together. To create peace, all of us have to get to this loving place of connection.

We must take care of every mother and child. Taking care does not mean intervention or judgment, only inclusion and responsibility. This mother is part of me. I have in my community a hurting child and parent. I help, or I hold my loving thoughts. It is like having pain in my arm. My arm is part of the body—I see it as me and I care for it. The upset mother is also part of my universe, to be taken care of—with love.

Named for the town of East Lyme, CT, where the disease was first identified, Lyme disease is transmitted when an infected tick passes a bacteria known as a spirochete into the bloodstream as it feeds off its human host. Researchers Still Puzzled In many cases of chronic Lyme, medical researchers cannot understand why symptoms persist when intensive testing fails to reveal signs of the Lyme bacteria in blood or spinal fluid.

According to a article by Philip J. Hilts in The New York. Times, researchers account for these symptoms by assuming that Lyme has led to autoimmune dysfunction without considering that the tick may have passed more than just bacteria into the human host. In my own client population, I have found the majority of long-term Lyme cases complicated by viral co-infections. Common Scenario of Infection In recent months, doctors are discovering Bartonella bacteria piggybacking the spirochete. Bartonella infection is also called cat scratch fever—likely picked up by the tick feeding on a cat.

If the tick can pick up a bacteria from a cat, why not viruses from dogs and mice? A common scenario is for a tick to feed on a dog, picking up a strain of parvovirus; feed on a mouse, picking up a strain of hantavirus; feed on a deer, picking up the spirochete; and then feeding on the human and passing along the spirochete piggybacked by viruses. The conventional medical approach is to treat Lyme disease with antibiotics. When a child or adult is quickly treated with an appropriate antibiotic, the result is usually a swift and positive healing.

Consider taking the best of both conventional and holistic medical practices by integrating natural remedies with antibiotic therapy. The natural remedies can help keep the body strong while the antibiotic does its job. The Integrated Approach When my son had Lyme disease, blood tests confirmed that it was accompanied by the virulent bacteria, Ehrlichia, and his doctor immediately put him on an antibiotic.

Of course, I gave him probiotics and echinacea as described below. However, since antibiotics do not treat viruses, rather than waiting to see if one round of antibiotics would bring him to total recovery, I tested him for viruses, using kinesiology. I gave him natural remedies that specifically addressed the particular strains of virus that commonly piggyback the spirochete for which he tested positively. When children and adults do not fully and quickly recover with a round of antibiotics, it may be because viruses are also involved.

They do, however, respond to natural remedies designed to address the specific viruses, remedies which can be given along with antibiotics without the treatments interfering with each other. If your Lyme disease is not responding well to the antibiotics alone, or if you have been suffering with chronic Lyme disease in spite of long-term antibiotic therapy, you may wish to consult a health practitioner who is familiar with the viruses that are known to be present in the ticks that transfer this disease.

Increasing Good Bacteria Friendly bacteria and yeast microorganisms live harmoniously in the intestinal tract. Yeast overgrowth can cause a variety of symptoms, including bloating, gas, itching, sugar cravings, brain fog, mouth sores, headaches, weight gain, mood swings, depression, and extreme fatigue. Acidophilus and other probiotic, active bacterial cultures in yogurt plain yogurt without added sugar, as sugar feeds yeast help to bring balance to the intestinal flora by repopulating the good bacteria.

Probiotics are available in capsule, liquid, and tablet form, and are best taken three times a day, an hour before or after the dose of antibiotic, and continuing for at least three weeks following the antibiotic therapy. Making the last daily dose right before bedtime gives the good bacteria a chance to grow unimpeded overnight. Immune Support Echinacea, known to gardeners as the purple coneflower, is a popular, nontoxic herb easily found in health food stores.

Echinacea helps to support immune systems in danger of becoming depleted by antibiotic use. Although it is available in tea and capsule form, the liquid alcohol extract of echinacea is the most potent and effective form of the herb, and is safe for adults and children alike except for individuals with autoimmune disease. To further strengthen the immune system, take the echinacea for a few weeks after the antibiotic is finished. Cycling it for 10 days on and 4 days off will keep your body from becoming resistant to its benefits and give you. People often feel weakened after an extended therapy of antibiotics.

Desserts should be limited to low-sugar fruits e. Keep in mind that many fresh and dried fruits, and fruit juice, have a high sugar content e. This would be a good time to eliminate junk foods and eat healthpromoting foods like pesticide-free vegetables, antibiotic-free chicken, fish, grains, organic eggs, and nuts, so as not to pose any additional challenges to the body.

Check with your local health food stores and organic produce departments in supermarkets for the best choices. Protecting Against Tick Bites The safe, natural way to prevent tick bites is with the essential oil of eucalyptus, found at health food stores.

The strong but pleasant smell seems to effectively repel the ticks. There are three ways to use this aromatic oil. In a spray bottle, mix 16 ounces of water with 1 ounce eucalyptus oil. Spray the mixture on the skin before an outdoor activity. The bottled mixture remains potent for many months. A larger amount can be premixed for a camping trip or for sending with a child to summer camp. Protect your dogs and cats from ticks and you will also be protecting yourself!

Some people never touch a blade of grass yet get Lyme disease anyway, and wonder why. Your pet may be transporting the ticks into the house. Dip a thin rope into the eucalyptus oil and wrap in a bandana. Your pet will look fashionable and be protected at the same time! Choosing the pleasures of country life over city life means we must learn to cohabit with nature harmoniously.

The fewer chemicals we use internally and externally will mean safer groundwater and air, healthier bodies, and a reverence for life around us.

Many parents expressed frustration with the numerous ineffective approaches to colic, drug side effects, and the advice to stop nursing. Our third child was the first child with whom we experienced colic. We were caught off-guard. It was a low point in parenting. We all felt helpless and tired. Our sweet 3week-old baby girl transformed one evening into a crying, miserable, and inconsolable child.

It happened every night at the same time for the same length of time.

We had resigned to walk the halls of our house with a screaming baby at night until she stopped. On her fourth-week pediatric visit, I mentioned the symptoms to her pediatrician, and she was easily diagnosed with colic, which I knew nothing about. The doctor matter-offactly predicted it would last three to four months. The initial solutions online only made us more nervous, more frantic, and self-doubting. It was so overwhelming! And to make matters worse, nothing helped.

If anything, we were worse off than before because we thought something might work. Every day we tried something different. It was all false hope. We wanted her to be calm, happy, and rested. We were desperate for a cure. The great news is there is a solution. We found it and it is one of the worst best-kept secrets. Every parent should know this!

Have your baby adjusted. Two weeks later at my chiropractic appointment, my chiropractor overheard me at her office groaning about our situation and immediately adjusted our baby, who was with me. I quickly discovered how long the adjustment would last before the colic would return. I went back every three days for a couple of weeks. As she grew bigger, the effect of the. What I would have given to have found out sooner.

I had never considered adjusting my other children so young. Our baby responded so well to her adjustments. She was free from this horrible colic condition. My husband and I went on to have twins when she was 18 months old. Adjustments are the best preventative healthcare I can give my children. Starting at three months, she became very colicky. She spit up constantly. We took her for tests at our local hospital and they told us that she did not have reflux. At six months, with the problems only getting worse, the pediatrician decided to start her on a histamine-2 blocker, Zantac.

When she continued to spit up every hour, they tried to change her medication to Prevacid. Initially we saw a small decrease in her reflux although it was still occurring every couple of hours. The next step was to double her dose of Prevacid. It was a dose not even recommended in babies her age! At no point in her short little life had she ever slept through the night. At this point, my husband and I decided to try another approach. I spoke with one of my colleagues at the hospital and she recommended chiropractic. I was very hesitant to take my infant, now eight months old, to a chiropractor.

Neither my husband nor myself had ever had chiropractic care. After her very first adjustment, she slept thru the night!!! It was like we had a different baby. Right from the start her signs and symptoms of reflux diminished. We took her three times a week for almost three weeks. By the end of the second visit, I completely stopped all of her meds. By the end of three weeks, she rarely spit up and she slept through the night consistently. Brooke is now 10 months old. She almost never spits up and is a very happy baby. Chiropractic care has made a huge difference in her. In May of , we became first-time parents.

We took her to the pediatrician, who confirmed she had colic. Three weeks more of colic and we were becoming delirious. Something told me to go to my chiropractor for help. I walked into her office, holding out my baby and sobbing. When my chiropractor gave my baby her first adjustment, I remember hearing my little one-month-old baby sigh out loud in relief.

That night, for the first time ever, she slept for 12 hours straight. The inconsolable screaming stopped as well. I have the before-and-after pictures of a discontented baby transformed. When people ask me about chiropractic care for newborns and toddlers, I cannot express enough how it truly saved us from a complete physical and mental breakdown. Colic is a very exhausting and stressful experience for the entire family. Everyone can benefit from healing the body from the inside out. What a gift our chiropractor has given us! I made numerous visits to the chiropractor when I was pregnant to help alleviate discomforts of back pain and leg swelling.

My chiropractor explained how the adjustments in pregnancy could make birthing easier. I delivered naturally, without an epidural. For weeks my baby was crying, and spitting up constantly. She would only sleep when she became so exhausted from crying that she had to sleep. Most of the time we could not cradle her; we had to hold her upright because of the reflux. I was afraid I would have to stop nursing her and put her on formula and medication.

After her first adjustment, she stopped crying, nursed really well, and fell asleep. It brings me to tears to think about that first adjustment and how it changed our lives. After that, I brought in Ashley to maintain her alignment. I highly recommend getting your child checked by a chiropractor, no matter how young they are! Our daughter had been experiencing a lot of fussiness and crying all day, and at night it would get even worse. We tried over the counter meds recommended for colic, nursing in different positions recommended by lactation professionals , and even massage therapy.

Nothing seemed to work for any length of time, and she looked like she was always in pain. I was a bit skeptical, but I decided to bring her in for an adjustment. Incredible changes happened—it was like night and day. There was such an improvement in her mood and personality. After five adjustments, she is like a new baby—all smiles and giggles. I was crying every day, because I felt completely helpless. I had this beautiful baby who never stopped crying.

I brought her to the chiropractor at 4 weeks old, and after four weeks of care, she cried considerably less. Now she only cries when she needs something…and I never cry, except for tears of joy. She was crying hysterically and she refused to eat. Layla stopped screaming and became peaceful after the adjustment. Shadia Koury issue 22 pathways.
