Natural Preventions for
"Swine" Flu
|
There
is much concern and confusion regarding the flu this year, especially the H1N1
"swine flu." While any suffering or death is tragic, especially when children
are affected, this "pandemic" appears to be succumbing to media hyperbole. The
southern hemisphere just finished its flu season, which was a mild one. The
vast majority of people (99.99 percent) are having very brief and mild
illnesses from this virus. Ronald Whitmont, MD, a board-certified internist, is
quoted in The Epoch Times: "So far, H1N1 is much less severe then the regular
flu." But like every year, some people will have a serious reaction, whether
vaccinated or not (or even in reaction to the vaccine).
What you need to know and what you can do.

No More Painful Pregnancies
|
Low back pain is a common
occurrence for pregnant women, with approximately two out of three women
developing this discomfort. The pain can be caused by a number of things,
including: the womb placing extra stress on the lower back as the body
compensates for its new weight distribution; pelvic joints becoming unstable in
response to changing hormones; and fluid retention in connective tissues.
For
many women, lower back pain can become a debilitating condition that interferes
with daily activities, such as their ability to get deep, restful sleep.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as aspirin have been shown to
have negative effects on the developing fetus. Women are taught that lower back
pain is a normal part of pregnancy and are given management strategies like
exercise, bed rest, supportive belts and hot/cold compresses. These methods
only aim to relieve the pain until childbirth.
Learn about how chiropractic can treat the root cause of your pain and eliminate your discomfort.
