Our Health and Multiple Choice
Have you ever taken a test in school that was "multiple choice"? If you were like most of us, you preferred multiple choice tests because-well-because we knew they were easier than essays for one thing. Also, we knew if we had any kind of working knowledge about the test topics, we could eliminate some answers and narrow it down to one obvious answer. Usually. There was always that one teacher who gave us a choice of one obviously wrong answer and two or three that we couldn't figure out... We had to have the "best choice" right answer; the next to the best wasn't good enough, but, unfortunately, it wasn't as obvious as we hoped. We couldn't fake our way through.


Don't Let Travel Be Pain in
"Prolonged sitting can wreak havoc on your body," says Dr. Bautch, president of the American Chiropractic Association's Council on Occupation Health.

Vertigo is not necessarily painful but it can be debilitating and continuously disorienting. Driving may be impossible and walking across a room may have dangerous consequence, too. Often, people with vertigo need help just getting by.


Baby Talk is Talking Chiropractic
In a recent issue of Baby Talk magazine, an article entitled, "It's Only Natural", discussed a recent gathering of 300 pediatricians in Tucson, Arizona. The speakers included, Stephen Straus, M.D., head of the National Institutes of Health's National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine and Andrew Weil, M.D., director of the program in integrative medicine at the
University of Arizona College of Medicine. The article stated that pediatricians are becoming aware that patients' parents are less and less eager to turn to drugs when treating childrens' illnesses. The pediatricians were looking at options for "times, such as with colic or recurrent ear infection, when standard treatments don't hold all the answers". This is an excerpt on the portion of the article dealing with chiropractic and children's health:

"How does it work?" "Chiropractors trace many of the body's health problems to misalignments of the spinal column, which press on the nerves leading to various parts of the body. But, chiropractors who work with infants don't apply the same force that's used with adults..."
