Infantile Colic
The effect of chiropractic care on infantile colic: results from a single-blind randomised controlled trial Lise Vilstrup Holm1,2, Dorte Ejg Jarbøl2 , Henrik Wulff Christensen1 , Jens Søndergaard2 and Lise Hestbæk1,3*
Abstract Background: Chiropractic care is commonly used to treat infantile colic. However large trials with parental blinding are missing.
Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of chiropractic care on infantile colic.
Method: This is a multicenter, single-blind randomized controlled trial conducted in four Danish chiropractic clinics, 2015–2019. Information was distributed in the maternity wards and by maternal and child health nurses.
Children aged 2–14 weeks with unexplained excessive crying were recruited through home visits and randomized (1:1) to either chiropractic care or control group.
Both groups attended the chiropractic clinic twice a week for 2 weeks. The intervention group received chiropractic care, while the control group was not treated. The parents were not present in the treatment room and unaware of their child’s allocation.
The primary outcome was change in daily hours of crying before and after treatment. Secondary outcomes were changes in hours of sleep, hours being awake and content, gastrointestinal symptoms, colic status and satisfaction. All outcomes were based on parental diaries and a final questionnaire. Results: Of 200 recruited children, 185 completed the trial (treatment group n = 96; control group n = 89).
Duration of crying in the treatment group was reduced by 1.5 h compared with 1 h in the control group (mean difference − 0.6, 95% CI − 1.1 to − 0.1; P = 0.026), but when adjusted for baseline hours of crying, age and chiropractic clinic, the difference was not significant (P = 0.066).
The proportion obtaining a clinically important reduction of 1 h of crying was 63% in the treatment group and 47% in the control group (p = 0.037), and NNT was 6.5. We found no effect on any of the secondary outcomes.
Conclusion: Excessive crying was reduced by half an hour in favor of the group receiving chiropractic care compared with the control group, but not at a statistically significant level after adjustments. From a clinical perspective, the mean difference between the groups was small, but there were large individual differences, which emphasizes the need to investigate if subgroups of children, e.g. those with musculoskeletal problems, benefit more than others from chiropractic care.

Your Body vs Your Car
Your body is a “magnificent machine”. Don’t you think so? And it’s what’s going to be with you until you die, so I’d say it’s pretty important.
What happens to your car if it is ‘not serviced’ – you’ll most likely have what we call a breakdown! It may not happen fast, but given the time, it will.So what’s the answer?
You must spend money to make it road worthy again. If it is really bad, your car becomes scrap iron and it can be sent to the crusher to be melted down into metal again.
Surely you do not want the same fate for your beloved body.
Keep your body healthy, fit and disease free. “Service it” by doing a whole body cleansing procedure with a product called “Ultra-Cleanse.” The thing that most people forget is this. Only you can do it.
Don’t spend thousands in medical bills and time, later in life. Spend a little time & money now, to keep your body healthy for the rest of your life.
Only you can take care of your “wonderful machine”. Only you can do a cleanse, and remove these nasty toxins, what I call – “the Killer”, from your body.If you’re interested in having a better body, losing fat and inches, talk to us about getting the all new Ultra-Cleanse. It’s a fantastic product, and it works from Day One. Get it now.

PH Definitely Affects Your Life And Disease
Anything living depends on a certain environment in order to not only survive, but to grow and thrive. One of the most important factors that impacts environment is pH… the balance between acid elements and alkaline elements.
Let’s take a look at how pH affects life.
Plants need the soil that they live in to have an optimal pH. If the pH is off a little bit, growth will not be optimal. If it’s off by a lot, the plant will literally DIE.
Just like plants, fish require an optimal environment to live in. For example, the water that fish swim around in and the coral reefs that are so vitally important to our entire ecosystem must be properly pH balanced and regulated in order for live to happen. Too much acid throws off balance and destroys life.
As a matter of fact, EVERYTHING in life…MUST have a properly pH balanced environment in the inside AND the outside of it – ‘in order to live’. Your body is no different.
If you want to experience a VIBRANT body and a VIBRANT life, you need to create a vibrant environment on the inside of your body…and that starts with the right pH.
Inner balance…pH balance…will create the outer balance you desire.
In terms of your body, the optimal pH for your blood and fluids that make up over 70% of your body weight is roughly 7.37. That means a pH that’s slightly alkaline.
If your body becomes acidic, which is like a 6, problems begin. If it becomes chronically acidic, you now have the type of environment that breeds a whole host of health problems. Research shows a direct correlation between excess acidity and obesity, diabetes, arthritis, acid reflux, cholitis, IBS, fibromyalgia, fatigue, and on and on.
So, the first question you might have is…”OK, how do I know what the pH of my body is?”
The answer is simple…
Test.
Come to the office so we can test Your pH!
I can’t emphasize this enough… the regulation of your pH is as important to your health as the regulation of temperature is. If you had a fever of 38 and your body is out of its REQUIRED temperature range of 36-37 degrees, you’d go take care of THAT before you worried about losing those extra kilos…right?
pH is no different.
If you’re too acidic, NOTHING in your body is going to work right… So, get your pH checked now!

Lose ONE-KILO/Day
I don’t know about you, but there are a lot of New Year resolutions made – that are broken by February 1st of every year.
Why?
Because people for the most part, don’t know how to take the extra weight off safely.
They try and starve themselves, which never works, they try some new way that is bogus and for sure that never works, or they join a gym, and find out there is some sweat equity involved, it takes time to lose weight this way, and then they quit that within a week or so.
That kind of weight loss never works.
That’s why you have this report. I want to help you lose weight the healthy way, without drugs or surgery and we get FAST RESULTS… faster than anything you’ve ever heard about, and at a fraction of the cost of other programs.
This Is A WIN-WIN ProgramThis fast and safe LOSE A KILO a day program is available for the first time in Australia and is used in Europe, as well as in North America.
