Do you know of anyone addicted to drugs?

Most would say "certainly not!"  Especially in Singapore, the very thought of it seem crazy.

Of course this is assuming we are talking about illegal drugs.  What about the "good" drugs?

The truth is most people are, in a way, addicted to drugs.  It starts from when we are born.  Sounds crazy but just stay with me for a minute. 

When we are born we get silver nitrate put in our eyes.  This practice was done because of the risk of the newborn getting a gonorreah infection to the eye.  The small detail with this is that the mom has to actually have gonorreah to be able to infect the newborn.

Then the baby is given a vit K jab.  This is in case the baby’s body somehow forgets to clot his or her blood.  Recently studies show that vit K injections can cause liver failure in newborns.

Then the newborn is given a set of vaccinations filled with such things are thimerisol (mercury preservative), formaldehyde, antifreeze, washed sheep blood cells, chick embryo cells, aborted fetus cells, aluminium, gelatine, many different antibiotics and more!

 Don’t believe it?  Take a look at this website with information that vaccine companies have to disclose.

Are you still sure that the drug companies have your best interests at heart? 

When a child develops a cold or flu the first thing we do is either give over the counter drugs or take them to the medical doctor to get a prescription.  A “sickness” is nothing more than a reaction of the body to something it perceives as a threat.  For example, let’s say you get a fever, running nose and cough on top of feeling very tired.  Would you believe that this is an extremely intelligent thing the body does?  A fever heats up your body which is great for our cells as it makes them faster.  It is very bad for infected cells or bacteria as it slows them down or kills them.  A running nose helps to expel infected cells from the head.  The mucus contains powerful antiviral properties and antibiotics.  Coughing and sneezing is meant to help you expel foreign or infected particles from the body.  And the general sense of feeling tired or cruddy is something your body does to slow you down so it can fight and heal.  So tell me WHY DO YOU WANT TO STOP THE BODY FROM DOING THAT!??

What about when a child is struggling at school?  Perhaps they are a little hyperactive.  Parents may go to medical doctor and get a prescription for Ritalin, Wellbutrin or Prozac and are elated at the effects because the teachers will say how much better they act.  The side effects for these drugs are anything from

• Sexual side-effects: delayed or non-existent ejaculation, hyposexuality

   

• Nausea

   

• Dizziness

   

• Anorexia

   

• Anxiety

   

• Agitation

   

• Vivid nightmares/dreams

   

• Urinary retention

   

• Tinnitus

   

• Tremor

   

• Sleeplessness

   

• Palpitations

   

Now I am not saying that all medications are bad.  Some can be life saving.  I am simply saying that they have a place in sickness care but NOT healthcare.

Chiropractic has been proven to boost the immune system and increase general well-being.  Studies show the effectiveness for conditions and problems like ADD, ear infections, colic, headaches, digestive issues and soooo many more.   Chiropractic is a fantastic alternative to medication from newborn to elderly.
