If only my parents knew that there were natural options for children suffering with asthma and allergies. Perhaps my brother’s childhood would have been different?

I recently read an article written by a hospital CEO about the increase of asthma and allergy attacks during the summer months and how you need to find ways to avoid certain things in your environment that trigger attacks and to make sure you carry and take your medications. It reminded me of the movie that came out years ago called the boy in the plastic bubble. The boy had to live in this plastic bubble because his immune system was so weak that any exposure to common everyday allergens could kill him. 

What a sad life to live to never be able to smell fresh air, flowers, baby's hair, perfume/cologne or a warm ocean breeze. As a sibling of someone who suffered from severe allergies and asthma I saw the physical, emotional and financial toll it took upon my brother and my parents. There was a certain point where my brother had to live in a hospital out of state so he could learn to cope with his challenges, administer his own adrenaline shots and live a more vibrant life. This was not fun for any of us. 

As he grew older he was able to do more things and has participated in sports such as Rugby and he even has run the New York and Boston Marathons. We are all proud of his accomplishments however he is still challenged with asthma and allergies and keeps an inhaler close by just in case. 

The problem was that my parents didn't know of any other options. They followed the medical model and to some limited extent he was helped. Unfortunately there are too many other people out there who don’t know of any other options who are living in their own plastic bubbles because they are afraid to experience life because they have allergies and asthma. There is another option...

Did you know that your body is designed to adapt to its environment as long as there is no interference? Did you know that people with asthma and allergies have responded well to chiropractic care? Did you know that families under chiropractic care have stronger immune systems, take less medications and are healthier than families who are not under care? 

Please get a chiropractic checkup and make sure there is no interference and help someone Live Better...Live Longer!
