By the time you finish this short article, you have a new understanding on how to keep your child’s eyes healthy. You will receive a surprise at the end, but not PEEK, please!
Many parents are very concerned about their children’s eyes, and they should be. Our eyes are very important. They really help us in the beauty of life. Can you imagine the nerve of your child losing their eyesight or too shortsighted? There is hope.
I recently discovered two new articles that shed some light on vision problems. Here is the first …
That is to say, “A Vision of Chiropractic: A Study of Chiropractic Spinal manipulative therapy for the improvement of the visual field.” This article was published in the Journal of Chiropractic Education, Spring 2008 by Jung Hansuk, DC, et. al. It is brand new stuff.
Here is the main feature. They measure the visual field of the 103 volunteers. They adjusted 83 of the subject’s neck (44 women and 39 men) and gave the other 30 a friction massage as a control group.
If you were asked, according to the Medline Plus Medical Dictionary, “The vision is the total area where objects can be seen in the peripheral vision while the eye is focused on a central point.”
Now the results. The control group had no significant change in their visual fields. An improvement of visual field was 78% in all subjects adjusted. Wow! 78% had improvement.
The next article of interest is a news report by Katie Wiedemann KCRG-TV channel 9 entitled “Blind Man keeps Insightful trip to a chiropractor.”
Here is what happened …
Doug Harkey, Dubuque, Iowa man whose left eye suddenly stopped working 12 years, thought he was on a routine examination at his chiropractor. But the results of its “normal” adjustment left Doug with a newly discovered vision, while friends, family and some in the medical community dumbfounded. ”
The point of looking at these 2 articles should help you to see that there is a relationship between your cervical spine (your neck) and your eyes. Why is this so important to understand?
In a study by Dr. Gutmann, a German Manual Medicine Specialist, he reported in his evaluation of 1000 infants. What he discovers will shock.
He noted that “approximately 80% of all children are not in autonomic balance.” In other words, all children have neck subluxation similar to those in the studies.
Subluxation is like this. The next time you are in a conversation, take your hands and cover their ears. Their ability to hear the conversation will be reduced. However, you can still hear. This is a kind of what a subluxation or to your nervous system, the communication system of the body. Remove your hands from your ears is like a chiropractic adjustment to your nervous system. Clarity is restored.
Why are 80% of all children subluxated?
Subluxation by stress, whether physical, chemical and / or psychological. Let’s look at each …
Physical Stress – The birth is filled with physical stress, even in the best-case scenario. If you extraction techniques commonly used in hospitals to the mix, you increase the likelihood of damage to the neck.
(An important aside here – if your child is experiencing respiratory distress after birth, they were definitely a neck pain. Respiratory centers of the body in the neck.)
Chemical Stress – The placenta has a fantastic job at keeping your baby safe from chemical stress, or at least it used to.
In 2004, a study was done to test for chemicals in the umbilical cord. “Of the more than 400 chemicals tested, 287 were in cord blood. Of 180 cancer in humans or animals, 217 are toxic to the brain and nervous system, and 208 cause birth defects or abnormal development in animals.”
Emotional stress – Childbirth used to be seen as a natural, beautiful experience. Now we have convinced that it is a scary, risky procedures, should be signed by a doctor.
With the knowledge about these different burdens subluxation You now understand why Dr. Gutmann found that 80% of the children.
Here is the surprise. Subluxation not only potentially interfere with vision. Subluxation can also have an impact on all types of systems.
According to Dr. Gutmann, a chiropractic spinal check-up “… should be obligatory after every difficult birth.” He noted that from a random group of 1250 babies examined 5 days after birth, 211 suffered from vomiting, hyperactivity and sleeplessness – spinal abnormalities were 95% in this group.
Gutman and colleagues found that an unhealthy spine causes “many clinical features of central motor disabilities to lower resistance to infections-especially ear, nose and throat infections.”
So, what should you do? Make an appointment with a chiropractor and get all the children examined subluxation.
