The worst part about all this is that vaccines become mandated and we get forced to give them in order for kids to go to school.

I’m just waiting for the law to say girls “have to” get the HPV vaccine.

My good friend’s son had chronic ear infections. He was always sick. Always. They tried everything–antibiotics, stronger antibiotics, dietary changes for her (she did breast feed for 1 year, and her son has a twin sister), dietary changes for him, and tubes at the end. The first three years of his life were a living hell for him and for her. He suffers speech and hearing issues. She lost one job and had to quit another because he could not stay at day care. The culprit in his case–and in the case of many children–was horizontal tubes. He was structurally prone to bacterial overgrowth.

I’ve never heard of an ear infection killing a child. However, multiply the economic impact of ear infections and you have a billion-dollar problem. Having a vaccine against the bacteria that grows in the ear, and a non-systemic vaccine at that, could offer relief to millions of children, reduce infection-caused developmental issues and the costs on our government, our schools and our families for solving those issues, not to mention keep kids in school and parents at work.

I highly doubt that this vaccine will ever be required. But to make it available for children who would benefit from it is a critical public health issue.

We find that chiropractic care eliminated our 2 year olds frequent ear infections, which then never came back and he’s now 4 yrs old. (Doctor in the states would only prescribe amoxicilian which we won’t touch)….The adjustments were mild and easy on my son.

Our 5 year old daughter suffers from terrible allergies and asthma (my other 2 children have zero problems with these)…, and our chiropractor is treating her for those ailments. I live in England with National healthcare now, and our Family Doctor prescribes the chiropractic care versus prescribing pills, which I found myself amazed at.
