Antibiotics Lead to Allergies and Asthma  
As the worldwide medical community continues to prescribe unnecessary antibiotics—especially to young children—negative side effects are beginning to surface.

A 2003 study at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit presented compelling evidence confirming the dangers of antibiotics. This study, authorized by Christine Cole Johnson, PhD, concluded that children who receive antibiotics within the first six months of life increase their risk of developing asthma and allergies to pets, ragweed, and dust mites.

Researchers followed 448 children from birth to seven years of age. The children were evenly divided by gender. Of the entire group, 49% had received antibiotics in the first six months of life. Data gathered throughout the study showed that children who took at least one antibiotic as a baby were 1.5 times more likely to develop allergies, and 2.5 times more likely to develop asthma than children who did not receive antibiotics.

The only way to avoid health-deteriorating side effects of medical drugs is to seek natural healing methods, such as chiropractic. By removing spinal misalignments through simple chiropractic adjustments, the body becomes more able to protect and heal itself from injury and sickness.

Moreover, people who receive regular adjustments as young children rarely need antibiotics and rarely suffer from asthma and allergies.
