The relationship between intensity of chiropractic
care and the incidence of childhood diseases. Rose-Aymon
S, Aymon M. Prochaska-Moss G, Moss R, Rebne R, Nielsen K.
Journal of Chiropractic Research, 1989 (Spring): 70-77.
This
was a pilot study to determine if a relationship existed
between the incidence of childhood diseases and intensity
of chiropractic care. The results showed that intensive chiropractic
care (i.e. more than seven visits per year and more than
one year of care) increased resistance to the common childhood
diseases.
A comparative study of the health status of children
raised under the health care models of chiropractic and allopathic
medicine. Van Breda, WM and Van Breda JM Journal of Chiropractic
Research Summer 1989.
One hundred chiropractors and one hundred
pediatricians were surveyed and asked about the health of their
own children.
Lower antibiotic use and lower incidence of disease,
especially ear infections, was reported in the “chiropractic” children.
If the “chiropractic” children did get measles,
rubella or mumps it was reported that the diseases were quite
mild compared to those exhibited by their classmates.
