Guttman, Manualle Medicine

Study: Chiropractic Care was given to over 2,250 children and infants with various disease conditions. The most common were ear, nose and throat infections.
Results: The children got well without drugs or surgery.  Subluxations in the upper cervical spine caused lowered resistance to infections and developmental impairments.

Guttman Concluded:
1.  The atlas-axis area of the neck should be  checked after every difficult birth.
2. With any developmental impairment, this joint should be examined, and specifically adjusted if required.  The success of the adjustment overshadows every other type of treatment.
Chiropractic Care vs. Medical Care

Study: Compared health of 200 children under medical care VS. 200 under chiropractic care
Results: The chiropractic children had fewer allergies, fewer cases of tonsillitis, less antibiotics, less medicine and FAR less surgeries. "The health of the children under chiropractic care was notably superior to that of children under medical care."

Van Breda, Chiropractic Research Journal
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome

Study: Related birth spinal trauma with sudden infant death syndrome.
Results: 90% of all SIDS cases were related to spinal cord damage. Most damage was caused by the pulling and twisting associated with hospital births. Reduction of the subluxations could have PREVENTED the deaths.
Dr. Towbin, Harvard University Pathologist

Dr's note: The nerve supply to the diaphragm comes from the 3rd, 4th, and 5th cervical vertebrae. Subluxations in these areas would cause decreased breathing and SIDS. All newborns should be checked for subluxations in these area.

 Health in the Elderly

Study: Confirmed better health in the elderly with chiropractic care.
Results: When compared to non-chiropractic patients, the study confirmed that elderly chiropractic patients report:
--better overall health,
--have fewer chronic conditions,
--spend less days in nursing homes & hospitals,
--are more mobile in their communities
--and are less likely to use prescriptions drugs.
"For managed care executives & other bottom line - oriented decision makers to ignore the results of this study & the cost savings potential of chiropractic health care would be blatantly irresponsible."
