There Is So Much About Chiropractic That People Are Unaware About

"I know I�ve said, � I�ll never got to a chiropractor. Can they really be helping me by cracking my back?� I had a tumor removed from my spinal cord in July of 1988, and I was told then that I would need to learn to live with the discomfort.

The FDA warned of "serious and potentially life-threatening side effects" in a recent ruling. Besides, there is little evidence these oral drugs ease cold symptoms in children so young.

Remedies that work for adults do not necessarily work for children. So, doctors are returning to old-fashioned measures, such as plenty of rest and fluids, saline drops to open stuffy noses, and the use of humidifiers while children are sleeping.

Scientists advising the FDA have also indicated the medicines aren't recommended for children under 6, and an investigation is ongoing to consider whether over-the-counter cold remedies are safe and effective for children under 12.
