The Smyrna Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Smyrna

Dr. McRae Asks some important questions of interest to Smyrna residents - Chiropractor Smyrna Dr. McRae Asks...

How could a child benefit from chiropractic?
Regardless of our age, each of us in Smyrna encounters physical, chemical and emotional stresses that exceed our ability to handle. For newborns, it could be the trauma encountered at birth. For toddlers it could be from learning to walk or ride a bike. Many of the problems we chiropractors see in adults are the result of neglected traumas from childhood.
What's your plan to deal with drug-resistant 'super germs'?
Chiropractors have always been concerned with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, accelerating the mutation of microbes that make "wonder" drugs increasingly ineffective. My strategy? Do everything possible to bolster my immune system through proper diet, rest, exercise, clean air, pure water and an optimally functioning nervous system with regular chiropractic care.

Autism-Mercury Link

Children's health issues image.

Remember the Mad Hatter from the childhood classic, Alice in Wonderland? Back then, the process of making hats involved using mercury compounds. Overexposure could produce symptoms referred to as being "mad."

Could there be a link between mercury and today’s increase in the number of autistic children?

Autism is a developmental disability that affects, often severely, a person's ability to communicate and socially interact with others. Interestingly, it is four times more prevalent in males than females.

In the 1990’s, reported autism cases among American children began spiking, from about 1 in 10,000 in 1987, to a shocking 1 in 166 today!

Some believe autism is merely a developmental disorder that some people are born with. Yet, in recent years, an increasing number of innoculations containing a mercury-based preservative called Thimerosal have been added to the nation’s already burdensome vaccination list. About this same time, some parents noticed that their previously healthy children were descending into a silent, disturbed and physically ill state soon after receiving vaccinations.

If there is a connection, as some parents assert, chiropractic care may help in a couple of ways:

  1. By helping to avoid or reduce the number of inoculations. Many parents choose to enhance their child’s (and their own!) immune systems with regular chiropractic care.
  2. By optimizing the nervous system. Reducing biomechanical stress to the nervous system gives autistic children a better chance of becoming all that they can be.
