My Well Adjusted Children

By Super CA Jackie

“Why have your children been getting adjusted since birth? Is there something wrong with their neck or back?” These are the questions that people ask me.

My two children, Anthony (10 years old), and Michele (7 years old), were born healthy and there is nothing wrong with their neck and back. I had a plan how to keep them that way. In order to keep them healthy, they would receive Chiropractic adjustments from birth for “well care.” I knew this 17 years ago when I had my own Chiropractic miracles happen to me. (If you haven’t read my article, The Ability to Heal (7/1/03), please refer to it.)

Michele and Anthony get adjusted on a weekly basis. This is why their immune systems are able to function at such a high level. They are able to be around children that are “sick” and they will not catch their symptoms. Once in awhile if they do experience symptoms, they immediately get adjusted to give their immune system that extra kick. Within 24 – 48 hours, they are symptom free. On the other hand, the children who don’t receive Chiropractic care will stay “sick” on an average of 7-10 days.

However, if symptoms do occur, Michele and Anthony also get plenty of rest, drink a lot of water and are not given any juices or foods with sugar. Sugar lowers the immune system! Rest is also a very important part of healing.

A fever is a “good” thing. I am not upset if my children spike a fever. We just let the fever burn. A fever is the body’s way of turning on the immune system. It is one of your body’s most powerful defenses against infection. I like to say that it “burns” the infection from the body.

My children are medication free. We do not use any cover up medications, such as Tylenol, Motrin and the rest of them. Using cover-up medications just prolongs and interferes with the healing process. Antibiotics are overused and abused in today’s society. Why give your child an antibiotic thinking that you are killing an infection? Antibiotics will also lower your child’s immune system even more. What happens next? They will get “sick” again. Doesn’t it make sense to keep your child “well adjusted” to stay healthy vs. to medicate them unnecessarily and have them sick all the time?

Michele and Anthony are tuned into their bodies. They know enough to ask for an adjustment if they don’t feel 100%. What they don’t understand is why many of their friends are not adjusted. I am proud of my kids when I hear them telling the truth to a friend explaining why they should be getting adjusted.

For the record, Anthony missed only 2 days of school this year due to symptoms. Michele has not missed a day of school in Kindergarten or First grade! They know Chiropractic works!
