Letter from the Editor:
Jeanne Ohm, DC
These days, you only need to be remotely tuned to the news media
to realize that the use of prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs
are frequently more hazardous to our health than helpful. When
government agencies are no longer considered capable of overseeing
multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industries and our families’ lives
and health are in jeopardy because of it—we have a serious
crisis at hand.
Thankfully, parents are no longer trusting that agencies and industries
are working in our best interest. Informed parents are taking the
initiative to seek natural, safe ways to restore health and well
being for themselves and their children. Tired of the dying paradigm—suppressing
symptoms with drugs and surgery—today’s parents want
solution-based wellness care that is safe and effective.
Today is fortunately the age of information; we are privy to knowledge
previously kept from the public. The Internet has allowed us to
explore and research information on our own—as opposed to
being misled by persuasive advertisements on TV. We are challenging
the legitimacy of the entire system as numerous drugs and procedures “proven
safe and effective” are turning out to be not-so-effective
and—even worse—unsafe. “Evidenced-based” research
and any practice based on it no longer carries authority because
the foundation of its integrity is in question. Rather than relying
on industries that substantiate their own products/interests through
biased trials, parents are embracing care that offers their families
true results with improved quality of life.
Additionally, it is becoming evident that the insurance industry
is not supporting our rights to choose wellness for our families.
The question arises: why they are not covering wellness care that
prevents further sickness and disease and rather continuing to
cover services with questionable efficacy that frequently lead
to greater health problems? Faced with this industry’s reluctance
to provide benefits for true health care, parents are
opting out of policies covering drug and unused visits. By doing
so, they are saving on monthly premiums and investing these dollars
into more holistic and safer family care.
Natural-based care cannot compete with the pharmaceutical industries’ seemingly
unlimited ability to advertise on TV. It is through testimonials
from satisfied people whose quality of life has been improved that
the life changing results of natural care are promoted. Hearing
personal experiences often propels individuals to step away from
slick pharmaceutical advertising ploys and search for real practical
health care. What each and every one of us has experienced
with wellness care needs to be made known.
It is truly a time of change and momentum. Parents are claiming
the rights and responsibilities for their families’ health.
Today’s families are participating in wellness lifestyle
changes that are making a huge impact on their present and future
well-being. We are proud to play our role in offering information
that supports the family wellness lifestyle in Pathways and
on our website. We respect and appreciate parents’ rights
to choose wellness and we will continue to provide our readers
with resources and perspectives that offer the solutions they are
seeking.
Feature Article:
The Myth of ADD
Thomas Armstrong, PhD
From the article:
Over the past thirty years, attention deficit disorder (ADD), or
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), has emerged from
the relative obscurity of cognitive psychologists’ research
laboratories to become the "disease du jour" of America’s
schoolchildren. Accompanying this popularity has been a virtually
complete acceptance of the validity of this "disorder" by
scientists, physicians, psychologists, educators, parents, and
others. On closer critical scrutiny, however, there is much to
be troubled about concerning ADD/ADHD as a real medical diagnosis.
There is no definitive objective set of criteria to determine who
has ADD/ADHD and who does not. Rather, there are a loose set of
behaviors (hyperactivity, distractibility, and impulsivity) that
combine in different ways to give rise to the "disorder." These
behaviors are highly context-dependent. A child may be hyperactive
while seated at a desk doing a boring worksheet, but not necessarily
while singing in a school musical. These behaviors are also very
general in nature and give no clue as to their real origins. A
child can be hyperactive because he’s bored, depressed, anxious,
allergic to milk, creative, a hands-on learner, or has a difficult
temperament, is stressed out, is driven by a media-mad culture,
or any number of other possible causes. The tests that have been
used to determine if someone has ADD/ADHD are either artificially
objective and remote from the lives of real children...

Herbal Antibiotic Alternative
Ceara Foley
Our Wellness Lifestyle column
contributes suggestions and ideas relevant to health and well-being
on all levels. This quarter's article discusses herbal supplements
that enhance immune system function as opposed to the current
abuse of antibiotics .
From the Article:
Humans exist in symbiosis with bacteria living all around and inside
us. Children migrate towards bacteria. They are inherently fond of
the same things bacteria treasure—things like bread, cheese,
soil, and sticky fingers. Occasionally eating bacteria boosts a child’s
acquired immunity. Antibiotics have been rightfully deemed “miracle
drugs” because of the countless lives they have saved from
potentially lethal infections such as meningitis. Yet, the word “antibiotic” means “against
life.” These powerful drugs kill bacteria in the body. Our
society has initiated a foolhardy war on bacteria, forgetting that
bacteria support life more regularly than they do harm.

Nutritional
Nuggets:
If It's not Food, Don't Eat It.
Kelly Hayford, CNC
This article offers simple, logical suggestions
for parents to address and improve their food intake having a profound
effect on their families health.
From the article:
When Brenda first started nutrition
and health coaching she was depressed, overweight, extremely fatigued,
had hypothyroidism, and severe PMS—among other things. In addition, her 11-year-old
son had daily headaches that brought him to tears and frequently
prevented him from playing; her 14-year-old daughter had dramatic
mood swings and an attitude that was “unbearable” to
live with; and her husband had debilitating digestive and eliminative
disorders.
Brenda knew that making dietary changes could be beneficial to
your health. She was skeptical, however, as to whether doing so
would work for her and her family and the many problems they were
facing or not. She reluctantly sought nutritional consulting only
because she was concerned about the increasing number of medications
they were all taking, and the fact that matters were getting worse,
not better.
Although skeptical at first, Brenda was delighted when, in just
a few short weeks, she began to see significant improvements in
her and her family members’ health. She had been able to
stop taking all but one of her medications, had lost excess weight,
had abundant energy, and was generally beginning to feel much better.

Pregnancy
and Birth:
Does Your Doctor Know Squat?
An Interview with "Birth Guru" Henci Goer
Brian Wimer
This section on pregnancy and birth brings greater insight to parents
about the choices made during pregnancy that support, natural, easier,
safer births. This article is a must read for the mother seeking
evidenced based research in support of her decisions.
Award-winning medical writer Henci Goer, author of The
Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth and Obstetric
Myths Versus Research Realities, makes the case that mothers
are being kept in the dark. Contributing writer Brian Wimer caught
up with Goer during an East Coast tour, promoting the Mother-Friendly
Childbirth Initiative.
From the Article:
Why do OB/GYNs have women labor in beds when squatting is the better
way to birth? More importantly, does your OB/GYN, in particular,
know the research-based facts regarding obstetrics in America?
Or, is your OB/GYN perpetuating the myths that keep pregnant
women from making practical, logical decisions for childbirth?

Breastfeeding:
Breastfeeding Difficulties
Jeanne Ohm, DC
This article addresses how chiropractic care helps infants with
breastfeeding difficulties.
The
information in the article is gleaned from the authors clinical
experience of 25 years in practice.
From the article:
Modern birthing procedures, even those with seemingly minimal
intervention, are known to cause trauma and stress to the infant’s
cranium and spine. In a leading pediatric textbook on manual therapy
for children, one author tells us, “When considering injuries
and dysfunctions of the spine and its associated structures, the
significance of birth trauma is often underestimated, and the resulting
symptoms frequently misinterpreted.”
In the case of breastfeeding difficulty, as with many childhood
disorders, the cause of the problem often traces back to undetected
biomechanical injuries to the spine and cranium at birth. The failure
to recognize these biomechanical injuries and their relationship
to difficulty in breastfeeding leads to incorrect conclusions and
therefore, inadequate recommendations and treatments. Without real
solutions, mothers become discouraged, successful breastfeeding
is not achieved, and women stop trying out of frustration.

Mind Body:
A Look at Stress
Liz Anderson-Peacock, DC
Dr. Anderson-Peacock offers insight into stress: both negative
and positive and gives suggestions for adaptation.
From the article:
Dr. Hans Selye believed that stress is necessary for adaptation.
As Charles Darwin said, "It is not the strongest or the smartest
of the species that survive, but the one most able to adapt to
change." Stress is a requirement for adaptation. Many times
we think of stress as a negative or an overtaxing drain mentally,
physically, or emotionally. Negatively interpreted stress has been
shown to initiate and contribute to many disease processes and
can aggravate current diseases. How two people perceive an event
or situation may dictate vastly different responses by the body
if one interprets stress negatively and the other positively.

Family Life:
Discipline is the Problem - Not the Solution
Alfie Kohn
As always, Alfie Kohn gives us a thought provoking,
and out of the box perspectives about children.
From the article:
When things in my classroom hit
bottom, there were days when I was convinced that the kids stayed
up nights plotting ways to make my life miserable. It was only
later that I realized their disruptions were basically just intended
to make the time pass faster.
And it was later still before I could admit that I didn't blame
them. The problem wasn't with the students -- it was my curriculum
and my reliance on textbooks, worksheets, and a diet of disconnected
facts and skills. Did I really expect my students to be eager to
learn about "Our Friend the Adverb"? Given these types
of assignments, it would have been amazing if they hadn't acted
up.

Helping Athletes Succeed Naturally
Dr. Victor N. Naumov, DC
This article explains the importance of offering
athletes constructive, natural means of enhancing their athletic
performance.
From the article:
“Being good is not enough, when you dream of being your
best!”
This quote is an inspirational and motivational mantra by which
teenage athletes should live–not die. Unfortunately, everyday,
teenage athletes across America are playing Russian roulette with
their health, as well as their lives. They seem desperate to gain
any competitive edge they can, and the frightening reality is that
many of them are not even aware that they are putting themselves
at risk.
What are these teens doing to themselves? Simple: the same thing
many of their professional idols are being accused of doing—taking
anabolic steroids. This is a real problem. However, as athletic
mentors and physicians we can do something about it.
Like any difficult situation, the solution is not easy or quick.
It requires acknowledging and understanding the problem, then speaking
out by educating parents, trainers, coaches, and, most importantly,
teenage athletes.
