Antibiotics
All people, healthy and unhealthy, are a breading
ground for germs. Every part of our bodies is subject to invasion
of one kind or another, but this factor alone does not make all
people subject to disease. As generations pass we learn more
about our lifestyle and how it affects our ability to cope with
germs. Antibiotics, exercise, nutrition and general health
practices are all areas that have been advanced over the years,
making the spread of disease such as scarlet fever, measles, whooping
cough and diphtheria nearly non-existent.
Antibiotics do not correct the bodys weakness that is
making it prone to infection and disease; it simply kills the
current infection. Overuse of antibiotics has created a
resistance to their effectiveness. The more an antibiotic
is taken, the less likely it is to be effective, and a new form
of antibiotic may be needed to ward off infection. The cycle
is never-ending, as each overused antibiotic will eventually
become useless.
Antibiotics for a Cold?
Antibiotics are useless in the case of the common cold, as it
is associated with a virus and not a bacterial infection. Many
doctors continue to prescribe antibiotics for colds, but they
are generally a waste of money and an interference with the bodies
natural defense system in fighting off the cold.
When are Antibiotics Necessary?
Antibiotics are necessary in certain instances, but because
of their overuse, they may be rendered ineffective when they
are actually needed. Overuse of antibiotics only dismisses
the problem temporarily and does not address and correct the
reason for constant cold, infection and disease.
Vertebral Subluxations
Misaligned vertebrae that interfere with the nervous system
and cause nerve stress are called vertebral subluxations. This
interference interrupts the information and energy flow to the
various parts of the body and lowers our natural resistance to
sickness and disease. Chiropractors are trained to locate
and correct vertebral subluxation through examination and spinal
adjustment. The adjustments relieve the nerve stress and
assist in restoration of body function. Proper functioning
of the nervous system through chiropractic treatment is one of
the best defenses against the sickness, colds, flue and disease.
The Chiropractic
Approach
Chiropractic is
not a treatment for the virus, infection or disease, however it
does assist in raising resistance against the virus, sickness and
disease. Spinal nerve stresses damage the nervous system and
can lead to disease of all kinds. Chiropractors locate and
free the body from spinal nerve stress. Studies have shown
that there is a relationship between a healthy nervous system and
a healthy body.
