Ear infections, asthma, children, and chiropractic

Parents, do you have a child or children that have recurrent ear infections? If so, read this. If not, you may know someone who does. Send them a link to this blog. You may be saving their kids lives.

Did you know that a child who takes one round of antibiotics in the first year of their life increases their rate of asthma one and a half times? If you think I'm lying or crazy, look where the information comes from. Web MD of all places!

How does a child get an ear infection? Ever ask that? Most people will say, the bug caused it. What an interesting comment that is and I get that all the time. Have you ever seen the news stories where they go to the grocery store and swab the cart? What shows up? You got it, E. coli, Strep, Staph, etc. etc. Why isn't everyone who went into that store sick? If bugs are pretty much everywhere, and they cause disease, why isn't everyone sick or even better, why isn't everyone dead!?!

Bugs (bacteria and virus) are opportunistic organisms. Meaning, they find an opportunity to get in when things aren't working so well. They prey on the weak part. So, the question must be, how do we keep from getting weak parts? Or, how do we stay healthy? This all starts with the system that controls everything in your body. The nervous system. And if you didn't know, chiropractors are nerve doctors. We work to keep interference away from the nervous system.

Chiropractors have been helping children for over 100 years to improve their health and rid them of ear infections and asthma. Here's a link to a cool article from HealthyChild.com. http://www.healthychild.com/chiropractic/chiropractic-for-chronic-ear-infections/

Lots of great information on kids can be found on my website:

Listen to a practice member talk about her child and his chronic, double ear infections:

If you have any questions about your child, feel free to email me any time. DrTodd@MolskiChiropractic.com

Remember: “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose holy curiosity.” Albert Einstein

Yours in Health,
