Choose Holistic Health For Your Kids


Time and again, people who choose holistic health care for themselves refuse it for their children. I have spoken to many people, both in and out of my office, who recognize how much healthier they are since adding nutrition, exercise, and holistic care like chiropractic adjustments to their lives. And yet they don’t think holistic care is appropriate for kids. 

People in America are falling more and more into the mindset that they have no right to make health decisions for their children. People subconsciously believe that other people (namely psychologists and medical professionals) are better qualified to make decisions about their children. Wake up! Whose child is it? Why would a person unquestioningly inject toxins into their child with a needle, and yet avoid having their child’s spine checked for proper function and health? Parents line up for antibiotic treatments for a common cold, even though antibiotics kill only bacteria and the common cold is caused by a virus. So is the flu, for that matter. Children are taking the antibiotics, which kill beneficial bacteria in their digestive tract, lower their immune system responses and do nothing to get rid of the cold. They get over the cold in spite of the medication. In fact, now the kids have to process and get rid of medical chemicals while at the same time killing the virus in their bodies via a now-weakened immune system. This is why our kids are sicker and sicker. 

Chiropractic care for a child results in all kinds of “side effects,” including healthy development, better focus in school, stronger immune system, and better performance in sports. Think about your child learning to stand and walk. Did they ever hit their head? How about climbing a tree or wrestling with a brother or sister? Does your kid ever get bumped, bruised, or tripped? I’m betting the answer is “yes.” Get your kids’ spines adjusted, for the health of it!
