Antibiotics and Asthma

Drugs often have unknown side effects, especially on the very young. In a study of 456 children, aged five to 10, by researchers in New Zealand, children given antibiotics in the first year of life had four times the risk of developing asthma. Taking antibiotics after age one increased asthma by one and a half times compared to children not given antibiotics.

Chiropractic care kept their bodies unsubluxated so they could fight off infections naturally. (3)
