Kids Health Corner

When kids enter daycare or school for the first time, many seem to constantly be sick. Germs are everywhere, from toys to desks, to other kids. However, allowing your child to be adjusted regularly can help ease the symptoms or even prevent the onset of many upper respiratory infections. Cervical spine dysfunctions prevent proper lymphatic drainage through the deep cervical lymph nodes. By slowing this drainage, bacteria cannot be rapidly cleared and predisposes kids to common childhood illnesses such as tonsillitis, sinus infections, otitis media (ear infection), common colds, and bronchitis. Cervical adjustments help restore this drainage allowing the lymphatic system to filter bacteria and viruses from our kids’ bodies, keeping them healthier. Give your children the gift of better health!

Feng Wins King of the Mountains Jersey at Taiwan

Champion System Pro Cycling Team's Chun Kai Feng took home top honors in the king of the mountains classification Sunday at the Tour de Taiwan after securing and protecting the jersey since Friday's Stage 5.

Champion System Assistant Director Chris Wherry said he was proud of the team's overall effort to preserve the jersey in a race that saw Zach Bell win Stage 4 and teammate Adiq Othman earn four top five finishes, including fifth on the final stage.

"I am very pleased for the team," Wherry said. "Especially for Zach's stage win and Kai's KOM jersey."

With no categorized climbs on the final stage, a 58-kilometer circuit race through Taipei City, as Feng needed only to finish the race to secure the jersey. When a breakaway failed to materialize, the intermediate sprints turned into field sprints. Othman took third in the first and was runner-up on the second.

Rain started to fall as the peloton hit the final lap, and what looked to be a perfect lead out by Champion System for Fabian Schnaidt was ruined in a crash with two corners to go.

"I'm very bummed at the lost opportunity," Schnaidt said. "I thought I was going to have a great finish."

Hayato Yoshida (Shimano Racing Team) took the win ahead of Benjamin Giraud (Team La Pomme Marsielle). Othman's fifth place added to his fourth on Stage 3, fifth on Stage 5 and third on Stage 6. He finished the race as Champion System's best-placed rider overall in 11th, 47 seconds behind winner Bernard Sulzberger (DRAPAC Cycling).

Prescription Overdose Surpassed Car Crashes in Death Tolls

Fatal Drug Overdose has Surpassed Car Crashes in Death Tolls

Fatal prescription drug overdoses surpassed car crashes as the leading cause of accidental death in 2007, according to the Department of Health. Many of the overdoses (36 percent) involve prescription opioid painkillers, which were actually the cause of more overdose deaths than heroin and cocaine combined. Now we see in the headlines that a common treatment for back pain, epidural steroid injections, is the cause of a National health emergency. 

It is Time for Alternative Care to be Given a Safe and Respectable Place in Chronic Pain Treatment

As someone who has been a leader in the field of pain management for 20 years, I think it's time that alternative cares are given their safe and respected place in the treatment of chronic pain. Chiropractic care has proven to be a safe, drug-less, non-surgical approach for more then a century and yet only 8% of the population seeks this form of care. The mainstream media and the pharmaceutical companies have had the bankrolls to lead people to believe that the drug and surgery avenue is the only means of success to overall health. If one were to say the words "drugs and surgery are the pathway to health" I think anyone would shake their head in disagreement but yet we are brainwashed everyday that its the only path to feeling well. 

Chiropractic Care is the Safest Method of Treatment

If only 8% of society is aware of or given access to Chiropractic care then we are failing to fight this dreadful path of increased deaths do to drug overdosing and the obvious risks associated with medical procedures. As we are bombarded with the reminder of the risks of these procedures from the media with the outbreak of meningitis due to epidural steroid injections I plead to the masses to spread the word on one of the safest healing arts existing today, Chiropractic.
