Chiropractic Care for Babies:
Channel 6 Investigates
More and more parents are
taking their babies, even
newborns, to chiropractors for
regular adjustments! In fact
some offices report a 10-12%
increase! WPVI-TV featured a
story this month on how this
works and why babies would
even need this type of
treatment.
Many mothers who get their babies adjusted
report their babies are happy and healthy and
attribute much of that to their regular
chiropractor appointments.
Some parents bring their babies in because they
are colicky. It's amazing that after even the very
first adjustment they can start showing
improvement.
Dr. Howard adjusts babies as young as minutes
old and says that parents bring them in for
several issues including colic, nursing issues and
difficulty sleeping.
Patient, Delana Fiadino says, "At just 7 days old I
had my first adjustment back in 1966, so I've
been brought up this way." "I have all 4 of my
kids regularly adjusted since they were babies.
Now THEY ask to get adjusted whenever they get
sore throats, colds or headaches. I have only
given them antibiotics whenever it was
ABSOLUTELY necessary, and Dr. Howard is the
most comfortable chiro to adjust babies." says
Delana.
Adjusting babies is gentle, there are no quick
movements or cracking and popping, as you may
see in adult patients.
Dr. Howard applies as much pressure with his
fingertip as if you would check a cantaloupe for
ripeness. The objective is to take the pressure
and nerve stress off the spine.
He says that child birth can often be traumatic on
a child's body and spinal misalignment can
happen as early as in the mother's womb. It's
important to correct it so the body functions
normally.
Dr. Howard welcomes working along with a child's
pediatrician as part of their wellness team. He
doesn't claim to cure any disease or illness. He
simply wants to remove that nerve stress so the
child has optimal wellness.
"I'm Finding it Hard to Sleep Well at

This May Be the Magic Bullet
for Women
Attention women who suffer from: PMS,
Menopause, Migraines, Mood Swings, Insomnia,
Memory Lapses and many other female-related
problems
These new products just might well prove to be the
magic bullet for their health concerns.Progessence
Plus Serum is much more than just a progesterone
supplement. It's all- natural ingredients absorb into
your skin and levels out progesterone levels as never
before. Jia Wei Xaio Yao Wao is a Chinese supplement
also highly effective to cool the body & regulate
hormones by softening the liver and strengthening
the spleen.
Oral hormones have an undesired side effect,
according to the International Journal of
Pharmaceuticals. Taking just ONE birth control pill
increases your risk for breast cancer for the next TEN
YEARS!
Dr. Dan Purser has spent his professional life
researching & educating both physicians and women
on the dangers of regular hormone therapy and the
preferred safe alternatives of progesterone. His
research concludes that 98% of all women ages 12
and up would benefit from its use. Only 2% of women
have low estrogen; the rest are low progesterone!
Speak to Dr. Howard if you suffer from any of the
above symptoms to see if these safe alternatives are
suited for you.
I'm getting shorter!
Is it normal for people to shrink as they
get older?
As we get older, our height often
decreases, mainly due to gravity. This
along with the natural loss of muscle
mass and dehydration of the discs in
the spine, can cause these disks in the
spine to compress.
People typically lose about 0.4 inches
of height every 10 years beginning at
age 40, and the rate of height lost
becomes even greater after age 70.
Unfortunately, there is no way to get it back, but
regular exercise (stretching exercises are great), a
proper diet loaded with calcium-rich foods and regular
chiropractic adjustments are excellent ways to try to
avoid any further "shrinking".
Not getting the proper amount of sleep at night is
not just an annoyance, but it could be dangerous
to your health. Experts have found that poor
sleep is associated with declining function and
quality of life, as well as a greater incidence of
depression.
What can you do?

If you take a nap, try to do so in the
early or mid-afternoon

Be as active as possible during the day,
including getting outside if possible.

Avoid caffeine and cigarettes for 3-5
hours before going to bed

Keep the bedroom cool and dark

Don't go to bed too hungry or too full

Avoid medications before bedtime that
might impede sleep
Also, here are some of Dr. Howard's special tips
to help get a restful night:
Another potential cause of height loss is osteoporosis,
which causes bones to become weaker and the
vertebrae to collapse. Osteoporosis is a serious and
common condition, particularly among
postmenopausal women, so it's important that your
doctor diagnoses and treats the condition as quickly
as possible to avoid potential complications such as
hip and spine (vertebral) compression fractures.
Yellow vs red tomatoes
For people who love tomatoes,
but suffer when they eat acidic
foods, yellow tomatoes can be
a good middle ground for
salads, pizzas, sauces, and any
other dishes. These tomatoes
can be used exactly like red
tomatoes, in much as any way one might care to
imagine, from tomato sauce to ketchup. The lower
acid level also allows some of the more naturally
sweet flavor of the tomato to come through, which
can be an advantage in some dishes.
As one of the more popular fruits, tomatoes are
packed with the good-for-you lycopene. Lycopene has
been shown to be a powerful preventer of cancer,
heart disease, and macular degeneration (an eye
condition in the center of your retina which can
eventually lead to blindness.

Take Sleep Essence (a softgel that
contains sleep enhancing properties) very effective and is available for
purchase at the front desk
The fact that the yellow-orange tomatoes (called
tangerine tomatoes) are actually better for you is
shocking to me because when you type lycopene into
google, the first sentence that pops up about
lycopene is that it is found in red fruits and
vegetables- which obviously yellow tomatoes are
not!

Essential Oil, Peace and Calming - also
available for purchase at the front desk
So next time you're purchasing tomatoes, try
branching out with tangerine tomatoes and let us
know what you think. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

Sleep with a flat pillow rather than a
fluffy pillow

Water pillows provide for an excellent
night sleep and are available for
purchase at the front desk

A firmer mattress is better for you than
plush support
Nearly everyone has an occasional sleepless
night, however, if you often have trouble
sleeping, you need to identify and correct any
underlying causes that can help you get the
better sleep you deserve.
