A United States Rep. named Ron Paul, a republican from Texas in the past has introduced a bill that would curb restrictions imposed by the FDA and FTC regarding health claims for dietary supplements. Why would he do that in this regard? Aren’t these restrictions good for the consumer to make sure they don’t get ripped off by snake oil salesmen making false claims when it comes to health?

Even though I’m a chiropractor in San Diego that promotes alternative medicine, like it or not, some health crises require medication. The question is, just how safe are your prescription pills? Your physician prescribes them and they are FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved. But are they safe? Studies show that you may not be as safe as you would like to be! No drugs – not even aspirin is 100% safe. Whether you realize it or not, whenever you take a drug, you are weighing the potential benefits against the possibility that the medicine can hurt you.

There are certain things you can do in a day that can change your life. If you have children, reading this may be the most important thing you do. Two thirds of children in the United States suffer from middle ear infections. This middle ear infection is also known as otitis media. The infections usually follows a viral respiratory infection. The first symptoms are red and swollen eardrums. Then comes pain and fussiness in infants and toddlers. Sometimes fluid accumulates can in the middle ear. It can accumulate behind the eardrum where it can stay for weeks or even months. This may impair hearing.

Even if you don’t like taking medication, you have to admit that some health crises do require prescription medication. But how safe your prescription medication is another concern. Your medical doctor prescribes them and they are FDA approved. But how safe and effective are they? Studies have shown that they may not be as safe as you would like them be! Even aspirin is not always safe. Whether you realize it or not, whenever you take a drug, you are weighing the potential benefits against the possible risks.
