Children, Ear Infections, and Antibiotics

After enrolling my beautiful daughter in daycare, she often got the sniffles. I would take her to her pediatrician (more due to family members nagging me) and he would say she had an ear infection and prescribe her antibiotics. Being a chiropractor, that is almost a deadly sin, however everything thing has its place, even medications. Even though, most of the time I did not give her the antibiotics, many parents are not as aware that most times, the sniffles and infections are not caused due to the lack of antibiotics in their child's bodies but are caused due to the inability for the middle ear to drain into the throat.

Chiropractors remove nervous interference from the body by realigning the spine and removing pressure from the nerves. In children, misalignment of the vertebrae are common due to birthing process and the yanking of their little necks by obstetricians (watch a birthing video, you'll be shocked!). In the upper neck are the nerves that control the ear and allow it to properly drain fluids from it. By a simple adjustment, your child can enjoy a better time dealing with ear infections or preventing them in this case. One of the most respected pediatricians in the US, Dr. Sears (askDrSears.com) recommends chiropractic care for both treatment and prevention of ear infections. 

My personal experience with my daughter and chiropractic has been fabulous! She does not get sick anymore and is living a medication free lifestyle. Drugs inhibit the nervous system, the system that controls all bodily functions, including the function of the body being able to heal itself. 

Many parents entrust their little angels to my hands. That is a great feeling! We've had success with numerous conditions in our office. Asthma, ear infections, torticollis, knee and hip pains. Don't poison your child, with medications, please for their sake, give chiropractic care a try!

In late March, I went to Port au Prince, Haiti on a mission/voluntary trip in order to help some of the children there. What I didn't realize was that the one who was helped was me! It's no secret that Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the Americas, however it is a  secret of how people with such "little" material possessions can have such "big" emotional fulfillment! 

Port au Prince was very hot and you could still see some of the remnants of the 2010 earthquake. There are some of the "tent cities" still up, but these people are resilient  They do not give up! I brought over 150 lbs of dental products to be distributed among three schools, however sadly enough I only had enough for two. (Thanks for all those of you who contributed, God will repay you!)  I also brought some chocolate and granola bars for them. Let me tell you, I felt like I was Santa Claus in March. Each smile I received from the little ones fueled my desire to help others, even though the one who got the most joy was me!

I talked to some of the people there, they were always smiling! Some of those people had not eaten in a few days but they still seemed to have good spirit and hope. On a beautiful Saturday afternoon, in the middle of a city park, you could see thousands (really!) of people gathered as families enjoying each other. Boys were playing soccer. Some kids selling water and snacks. But it seemed that all of them were happy with what they had.

Now, every time I feel like complaining about what I don't have, I contemplate on what I do have! If you feel sad or depressed, you should try helping others, especially the kids in need. A trip to Haiti from South Florida is only 2 hours and no more than $400. Remember, health includes balancing your physical, social, and emotional state.  If you would like to help or donate, contact us!
