Well, I don’t hate it really. Well, it may turn out I won’t be rubbing anything in at all…
BUT…I found an article talking about food allergies in children and how they appear to be on the rise. There has been an 18% increase in children with diagnosed food allergies over the last decade, and this [...]

Peanut Vaccine!
Uh…what?
That’s right…we’re creating peanut vaccines now to combat peanut allergies. That sure does make a lot of sense.
In a recent Newsweek article (cover story), the author wrote about how children’s allergies (particularly food allergies) are on the rise. One theory that is very prominent about trying to show why this is happening is called the [...]

Moms Reaching for the Bottle
The baby bottle that is…
More moms are breast feeding their children than in the past few decades, but…this trend of breast feeding isn’t continuing much past 3 months. Convenience and some pretty good advertising is probably the cause for formula feeding at an early age.
Breast feeding, however, is so important past those 3 months. The [...]

Vaccinations and the Immune System
Earlier I had pasted a link to Dr. Dan Murphy’s summary article on “Early Life Infections Improve the Function of the Immune System.”
In relation to the last post on antibiotic use and asthma, I’m going to repost that article here. Enjoy!

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – The use of commonly prescribed “broad-spectrum” antibiotics, which destroy a wide range of bacteria, during infancy may raise the risk of asthma later in childhood, according to a Canadian report in the journal Chest.
“Antibiotics are prescribed [...]

“A large percentage of people between ages 20 and 60 have a rise in blood pressure, and by middle age many [...]

Vaccines!
As a chiropractor, I’m pretty much against vaccines. I’m especially against vaccines that seem useless – i.e. the chicken pox vaccine. Yes, it’s very contagious. Yes, it’s annoying. Is it really necessary we eradicate chicken pox? It’s not the plague, after all. With that said, maybe if you’re an adult who never had chicken pox, [...]

Gardasil Vaccine Safe?
Since many doctors are advocating the use of the Gardasil vaccine for young girls to protect against HPV, it’s necessary to understand some of the risks involved. Many government officials legislating the use of this vaccine as a requirement for school have ties to Merck, the company making the vaccine.
The following is from the National [...]

Chiropractic Care and Kids
Chiropractic care for children is, in some circles, controversial. Medical doctors dissuade patients from taking their children to see a chiropractor, parents generally don’t like to see adjustments performed on their children, and…that just tells me that people don’t get what chiropractic is about.
Chiropractic is not about back pain or neck pain or headaches…it is [...]
