ASTHMA Here I Wheeze----Trying To Breathe!!
While antihistamine sprays may provide the asthmatic with "temporary relief." modern medical science has failed to provide any real lasting relief for the asthmatic sufferer.

Clinical studies by the chiropractic profession have provided sufficient information to clearly show that asthma is an eliminative disorder.


Are You Tortured by Hay Fever?
Hay fever is an awful illness to deal with. Sometimes referred to as "allergic rhinitis", hay fever is a name given to an annoying collection of symptoms. These symptoms are the result of the body's overreaction to a substance it reads as poisonous. The symptoms associated with hay fever are nasal stuffiness, congestion, sneezing, runny nose, itchy and watery eyes, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, scratchy throat, irritating cough, and postnasal drip. Often, hay fever strikes people at different seasons of the year, but the result is the same. For the estimated one in ten who suffer from it, hay fever is torture.


Whiplash
Automobile Accidents are the leading cause of Whiplash. Very often, whiplash victims are told that their soreness and stiffness, along with any other symptoms, will go away with time. And too often, just the opposite happens!


Auto Accident Back Pain Years Later
With current legislation mandating the use of seat belts, an increased number of neck and back injuries have been reported when seat belts are used. While these injuries may be less significant than in unrestricted accidents, health care providers must address these potentially lifelong problems and not dismiss them as merely "Whiplash". Many cases of tension headache and Cervical Migraine may be the result of a neck injury that may have been forgotten or simply dismissed as trivial by the patient-according to a study published in Spine. In the article, Dr. MacNab reviewed 266 cases and found at least 45% continued to have symptoms 2 years following the settlement of court actions. Most people that are involved in "minor" rear-end collisions do not realize the potential for injury to the spine. If pain does not immediately ensue, the incident may be forgotten.
