Scientists at the University of British Columbia analyzed data from eight studies on antibiotics and asthma. They found that children who received even one dose of antibiotics within the first 12 months had double the risk of developing asthma later on. Each additional dose upped the possibility by 16%. (EACH DOSE!!!!) Although kids with asthma may simply get more infections that require antibiotics, the researchers theorize that excessive use of these drugs also decreases natural exposure to germs and over stimulates the immune system's response to allergens, which may lead to asthma. "We're not sure about the
association, but it certainly looks like something's there," says the lead study author Carlo Marra, PhD. "There are a lot of childhood viral infections, such as bronchitis, that are being over treated with antibiotics. This study is more evidence that antibiotics should only be used when necessary."
The bottom line is folks that allergies, asthma and infections are skyrocketing. What is causing it? Why are our children’s immune systems being depleted like this? What will this look like in the future when kids are growing up with dysfunctional immune systems? The answers all lie in what these researchers are finding, the assault on the human immune system isn’t working out. It isn’t working out at all.
Chiropractic care along with the Maximized Living lifestyle is a safe and sound answer. Rather then treating conditions with dangerous, manipulative medications, it only makes sense that you would build immunity naturally. All immunity and all functions are under the complete control of the Central Nervous System. A healthy spine, less not more medications, and more quality nutrients is the obvious answer and the only future.
