Chiropractic Medication for Persistent Ear Infections
Erica had been having serious and agonizing ear infections since she was 6 months in age. So far, in an insignificant forty-some months of life she had been the subject of having her ear drums punctured with tubes placed in them. She spent the majority of her life on antibiotics and various other drugs. This was a living hell of unbearable agony and sleepless nights for Erica and her mother and father.
Erica was nearly 4. Eight weeks ago this shy young girl came into my office holding the hem of her mother's skirt. Erica's mother and pop weren't quite sure why they had brought their kid to a chiropractor's office. Her mother was only following the advice of a trustworthy friend who had insisted that she bring Erica to see me.
Erica's pop was first to get right to the point. "Can you cure ear infections?" He announced, with a strange twist of hope and disbelief. "Actually," I said, "I cannot." Any trace of hope fell from the young couples face and the father's expression began to toughen. "Then why are we here?" he asked, indicating his suspicion was being confirmed that this was all a real error. "I did not say that your girl can't get better," I revealed, "only that I won't cure ear infections." In the instant of silence that followed I could feel the bewilderment welling up in their minds. With the fate of their dear girl in the balance why would I be mincing words?
Because, my buddy, it is imperative that you understand what chiropractic is, what it is not and why it's important to you and your youngster. My answer to them is my reply to you. Each of us is endowed with a potential that most never achieve. We do not achieve that potential, not because of what we lack, but because we are blocked from expressing it.
Small Erica didn't have ear infections as she needed holes in her eardrums. She did not suffer as she was deficient in some drug. She suffered because she was not expressing the full power and potential of life in her body. An awesome power had made this whole little girl from a single cell, but now something had diminished its complete and perfect expression.
If the lights in your kitchen all of a sudden all turn off you go check the circuit breaker. When a part of a person's body isn't working properly I also check the circuit breaker. In your body the circuit breaker is the spine. In Erica's little backbone I found 3 subluxations or misalignments. One was at her atlas, the top bones in her neck. The second was in her eighth thoracic backbones in the lower middle of her backbone. The third was in her sacrum, the base of the backbone. I adjusted Erica that day and sent them home with instructions to return in 2 days.
The next day I got a call from Erica's mummy. "What did you do to Erica?" she asked. A brief flush of panic went through me "the kind a doctor gets when a patient asks that kind of open finished question. "Why do you ask?" I inquired. "She slept throughout the night and she is like a different kid today!" she revealed, "She's more calm than I have ever seen her!"
I saw Erica at her next appointment and she was a different person. She climbed right up on the adjusting table without even being asked. Small children are so in harmony with their inner wisdom before they get infected with fears, cynicism and distrust. They are still dancing and singing to the inside music of their own body. We each still have this if we might only take a minute to listen. Then we might know the truth of chiropractic. It's there inside us right now.
When the difficulty is removed, when the circuit breaker is re-set, then the power that made the body has a chance to heal it. During the last eight weeks Erica's ear aches have completely vanished. Her doctor can't think the fantastic change in her condition. Now that's great ear infection home remedy.
So what am I saying, that chiropractic is a good solutionfor earaches? No! A chiropractor only fixes the subluxation "the block to your built-in power to be well. Persistent correction of subluxations is important to realizing the actual potential of your life. Nothing else corrects the subluxation, no pill, no form of stretching, only the chiropractic restructuring.
