This study is not unique in its attempt to provide information about the power of food on health.  A study in science (December 2002) concluded that “food molecules act like hormones, regulating body functioning and triggering cell division. The molecules can cause mental imbalances ranging from attention-deficit disorder to serious mental illness.”  When you reconcile this information with the ever increasing numbers of kids being diagnosed with mental health or “behavioral” disorders, you can’t help but wonder what’s going on.  Schools all over the world and especially in Europe have banned GE foods to prevent their children from becoming lab rats in a grand social experiment. In America however GE foods are in a majority of our processed foods with no labeling requirements whatsoever; teaching our kids to read labels and expect the government to look out for us will not keep them healthy.  It’s like teaching them that walking in the cross walk gives them the write of way without reminding them to look for traffic; whether you had the right of way or not, if you get hit crossing the street because a truck didn’t yield, you’re still dead.  Don’t be fooled; if your seven year old can’t sit still or concentrate and your 13 year old seems to be on an emotional roller coaster, there’s little evidence to support a deficiency in Ritalin or Prozac, even when the media suggests it as a miracle cure. An old Chinese proverb states that whatever the father of illness, the mother is wrong food.  For more information about genetically modified foods see seedsofdeception.com

“The only safe vaccine is one that is never used.” Dr. James R. Shannon, former director of the National Institute of Health.   

Should we ever desire to see a dramatic improvement in the health of this nation, this is a great place to start.  There’s still no proof that vaccinations work while evidence of an overwhelming nature continues to mount making the toxic vaccination soup of aluminum, mercury, formaldehyde and foreign cell proteins injected into our kids every day a primary cause of everything from SIDS to Autism and Alzheimers to Cancer.  There’s no better time to become informed than now… your kids are banking on it.

“Children who produce higher fevers, strong rashes and good discharges of mucus and pus, are healthier and more robust and have stronger immune systems than children who produce a low intensity of these symptoms.  These robust children vigorously externalized and healed their infections spontaneously, often without antibiotics; they had had little or no antibiotics, antipyretics or vaccinations in their lives.  The children who had had all their vaccinations, lots of antipyretics and antibiotics – a lot of suppressive, internalizing medical treatments, these children never got high fevers and were the ones who were more likely to have allergies and autoimmune problems.” (13) 

A fever is designed to serve the body and indicates a healthy robust immune and nervous system. Don’t let the fear mongers convince you that your child’s body is weak and in need of outside intervention nor that your instincts don’t matter.  Most parents I serve have a sense of what is good for their child and simply need reassurance given all that they hear on television.  The power that made their body heals their body!  Trust it!

Dr. Mendelsohn, MD adds that “The human body has a remarkable capacity to heal itself – a capacity that in most cases surpasses anything that medical science can do – and it doesn’t produce unwanted side effects.  ”Common sense is the most useful tool in dealing with illness.  Your doctor is less likely to employ it than you are, and certainly no more able, because that’s not what they taught him in medical school.”  Natural immunity is a blessing that once understood can be nourished by supporting the one system that controls and coordinates it… your nervous system.  Have your child checked by a “chiropractor” and never again look to a bottle for answers.

What risk is he talking about?  By the time we’re 20 years of age, every western citizen has experienced 18,000 hours of advertising. That’s 18,000 hours of opportunities to establish and build on a belief system that perpetually reinforces the idea that you are weak and that your health is dependent on outside sources like drugs for answers.  Our country makes up 5% of the worlds population and yet consumes 60% of the world’s drugs, that’s 25 million pills consumed every hour every day every week of every year.  This trend is not expected to end any time soon as it’s estimated that in the year 2013, the global market for pharmaceuticals will top $1.0 trillion with the highest growth rate expected in the generic prescription drug market. 

How is it that our kids are supposed to understand that there’s any risk whatsoever in popping a few pills to feel good when from infancy they’re taught that all answers are expected to come from a bottle?  Self medicating is the rule rather than the exception for if you have a headache, take Tylenol, if you have a runny nose take an antihistamine, if you have an upset stomach take the pink stuff (you know what I’m talking about), if you have allergies take Benadryl, if you’re depressed take Paxil if you’re anxious take Valium if you can’t sit still take Ritalin and if you don’t have any energy, drink coffee until one day you have no reservations about going to the medicine cabinet for a hit of Oxycontin, Percocet, Vicodin or Methodone to take the edge of your stressful day.

Ironically enough, the same article then goes on to suggest the use of Methadone and Suboxone (drugs) as “tools available to manage withdrawal” and that they’re “proven to reduce death from drug overdose and HIV transmission.” I wasn’t quit able to follow the logic but then that’s the point.  Do you really believe that the power that transformed two cells at conception into a living breathing human being has now become so inept at birth that the only chance we have at living a long and healthy life is to rely on drugs made by companies that make more money each year than most countries? Why should any child take us seriously when we believe that “to prevent kids from wandering into recreational opiate use and the prospect of addiction” we think the answer lies not in nurturing the bodies self healing power but in “disposing of all pain pills and controlled substances when they have served their purpose or hiding them if they are still needed for legitimate medical use.”  Kids using drugs, ‘risky’ as it may be, is only a symptom and until we’re ready to correct the cause, expect the symptoms to get far worse before they ever get better.

It was July 10^th, Ellie’s one year well baby check up and her first birthday. Everything was looking good, until the doctor looked into her ears. Then those words I had heard 3 times in the last 6 weeks, “Well, it looks like another ear infection.” I groaned. Those words meant more antibiotics, more messy diapers, and a diaper rash that rivals third degree burns.  Then the doctor dared to utter the word I feared the most, tubes.

I had made up my mind after my nephew had tubes, two sets before his second birthday, that no child of mine was undergoing surgery for these plastic things. I had heard from friends that their children had to have them put in again two or three times! It is a personal choice every parent must make for themselves and my mind was made up. Ellie is NOT getting tubes.

On the way to fill the prescription I tried to think of ways to avoid the unavoidable. I had heard chiropractors helped the ear to heal itself naturally and without tubes, so that was my ticket. Once home, I called my friend, Catherine, and explained the situation. She immediately told me of this amazing chiropractor her and her family see, and gave me some literature. It turns out this chiropractor is her brother, Dr. Paul Siemers! I had been to chiropractors before and had taken Ellie’s sister, Rachel, to one as an infant to relieve the symptoms of colic. That’s when Catherine told me how much he has done for her whole family. They travel once a week from Mankato to Northfield to see him, so if we wanted to tag along we were more than welcome. So I packed up my whole family and off we went to Northfield to see Dr. Paul.

Well, it’s been almost 3 months and Ellie’s ear infection is gone. The doctor no longer is talking tubes, and Rachel (Ellie’s 3 year old sister) is no longer wetting the bed at night. Plus, I love getting adjusted! I feel better, and have more energy. “Power’s On!” The girls love going to ‘Uncle Paul’s’ to get “justed” as Rachel says. Thank you Dr. Paul for giving me my girls back! The difference in Ellie is amazing. I had forgotten what a good baby she really was until after she had seen Dr. Paul just 2 times! Thank you for everything we have learned from you, and thank you for getting my girls back on track.

Researchers at Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh conducted a study of nearly 400 children and concluded that waiting to implant the tubes had no effect on a child’s performance on language and speech tests at age three or four or six. (7)

This off course being a study designed to observe outcomes related to speech, it does not address the relevancy of doing the surgery at all nor evaluate the damage done when the surgical procedure performed doesn’t even work.  This is a subject that is near and dear to me as I have and continue to care for many kids in my office who time and time again are told that antibiotics and surgery are the only solution.  My own experience was such that I endured multiple surgeries, the last occurring when I was 17 years of age, whereby I had a skin graph done to patch up the hole left in the protective membrane of my middle ear.  Needless to say the consequences have been lifelong, that is until I was introduced to chiropractic.

If you have a baby, grandson, granddaughter, cousin, niece, nephew or even know of a child who is facing surgery, please encourage their parents to have them evaluated for subluxation before making such a profound life altering decision.
