Moderation is key.
This is a primary message of chiropractic, and the basic principle I (attempt to) practice every day in the chiropractic office and in my life. All the available research indicates that chiropractic care is safe for children and adults, and certainly compares favorably with other medical and health care techniques. The research watchdogs at Chiro.org unearthed a review of the research literature, comparing the safety of the chiropractic adjustment with the osteopathic and medical manipulation. The article was originally published in the journal Clinical Chiropractic, Volume 14, Issue 3: What is the greatest threat to human health? The answer may differ depending on who you ask, but some medical experts from Britain say that antibiotic-resistant bacteria pose a dangerous threat to human health. And our own Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) agree with them. Although many bacteria are not dangerous to humans and many actually help humans (think about all the wonderful bacteria who live in your gut and help you digest your food), some bacteria can be life-threatening. To this point in history, we have been able to kill or control these bacteria with powerful chemicals called antibiotics. But bacteria are not a stationary target: since they are living creatures, they can adapt to their environment and surroundings. Sometimes bacteria are not killed by antibiotics. These wounded bacteria, having been exposed to the powerful chemicals, go about learning how to survive another such attack. |
