Dr. Walt,
Am I reading you right, that children don't need conventional health care? When and at what age do you recommend a young child go to a doctor - I am talking about newborns to say age 12? Many young mother's are going back to the old days and many children are beginning to suffer. I am a registed nurse.

Dear Judy,
I appreciate your looking into this.
First, the healthiest children I have ever seen are the ones whose parents use a Chiropractor or Naturopath as their primary provider.
Conventional (allopathic) medicine is for acute problems like broken bones, congenital disabling conditions and systemic infections, etc. The problem is the conventional medical monopoly insisting on "forcing the health-care camel through the eye of the conventional medical needle"
Conventiojnal medicine has been, and continues to be a failure when it comes to any chronic condition (like health, for example).
You would get much real information by going to the wonderful website of the American Holistic Nursing Association at AHNA.COM
Also, there is a wonderful Chiropractor (Doc Dave) on this BB who would forward to the BB more basic research supporting what I am saying than you are likely interested in seeing. Just put your note (to which this is a response) on the BB again with his name in the title to draw his attention.
Good luck! We conventionally educated professionals have a real handicap since we were trained to think our way is the only way to think. At least the lay person can look at all this new information with a relatively open mind-----in spite of the monopoly's efforts for the past 100 years to mold public perceptions to our way of thinking.
Let us know what you learn.
Walt

Do you think a baby and young children need to be immunized. When do we cross over to child neglect when we allow illness ( fever, pain, sore throat etc.) to left untreated? Seens to me your are encouraging neglect of the child. Some parent will take everything they read by you as Gospel. SO do we allow suffering of little children who can not speak out for themselves.? How can a parent see inside the body to know what is going on. Blood test and cultures tell us what needs to be done. Doctor and health care professional have many years of traning that the untrained can't see. Please encourage parents to have well check up to catch some diseases that can be treated and cure in early stages. GO light with antibotics but when necessary use.

Dear Mary Ann,
A good place for you to start with your education would be with the long list of references Doc Dave listed on 12/16/98 about how children did when raised by their parents (some MDs & others Chiropractors).
We all (especially MDs) would like to believe that the current medical model would have "the answers" to these problems. It is scary to know that we MDs do not. If you are REALLY concerned about the "helpless children" you will educate yourself rather than live with wishful thinking.
More than 20 years ago (in the face of many parents asking about the desirability of "immunizations") I commissioned one of the physicians in my centre to research the world's pros & cons about immunization. He finally came up with a summary that took up 11 pages of single spaced, typed information suitable for handing out to parents. With all that information none of us could come to a definite recommendation for what parents should do.
Homeopathic immunization has at least equal effectiveness to allopathic immunization and has NO short or long term complications. Recent allopathic research, which we did not have available 20 years ago, now indicates that many autoimmune problems so rapidly increasing in incidence in this country are lilkely delayed effects from childhood immunizations.
Homeopaths have been trying to tell us that for 100 years. Now that even allopaths are suspicious about it, if we had had that information 20 years ago, I think we could have recommended that no one get conventional immunizations.
Also, research has shown that a "wellness lifestyle" prevents the complications of childhood diseases and, even if they get the condition it is very mild. Unfortunately, that takes a very responsible parent to protect their child that way. Where does the "caring for the helpless child" start being classified as "neglect". I say that feeding them fast foods and lots of sugar is "neglect".
If you take the time to read up on this I hope you will share your thoughts with the rest of us.
Walt
