Tale of Two Babies
The U.S. has the highest infant mortality rate of any industrialized country.

Baby #1. Prenatal Care: Ultrasounds, amniocentesis, drugs (over the counter and prescription), frequent Doppler monitoring impulses, possibly chemicals from an improper diet (caffeine, preservatives, additives, artificial sweeteners), some delivery and baby care training. Excess weight on the spine but no chiropractic spinal care. Delivery: Performed in hospital in a surgical setting, Demerol, Tylenol, Spinal Block, Epidural, Prosin to induce labor, (anesthesia for C-section), forceps, hard neck pull, vacuum extraction. Typically difficult births. Immediately Post Delivery: Vitamin K shot, Erythromycin or Silver Nitrate drops in the eyes, formula milk or breast milk with drugs in it from the mother, circumcision. First Days, Months and Years: Formula and cow's milk, immunizations, antibiotics, tonsil or ear surgery, over the counter and prescription cold and flu medication, aspirin, processed and preserved foods and drinks. RESULTS: Child typically has infections, colds, allergies or other health problems. Baby #2. Prenatal Care: Proper nutrition, proper activity, infrequent heart monitoring, weighing and measuring to check progress, intense training and preparation for natural birth, classes on breast feeding and care of the newborn. Chiropractic care to establish proper nerve supply to reproductive organs and align the pelvis which is housing the child. Delivery: In birthing room or at home, both with a Midwife or Doctor who coaches the mother and gently guides the baby from the womb. (Hospital notified in case of emergency - unlikely.) Immediate Post Delivery: Breast-feeding and bonding, spine checked by Chiropractor. First Days, Months and Years: Breast milk, Chiropractic adjustments, fruits and vegetables, and grains added after 4-6 months. If child is sick, time is allotted to allow the body's own immune system to heal the child. RESULTS: Child typically glows with good health. If you have any trust in the natural order, you will release the fears placed on you by your Doctor and seek a more natural approach. High technology, high intervention, is not working out. It's not working out at all.
