Our Experience with Newborn Chiropractic Care

I gave birth to my son Mikah, my third child, at home in 1999. He cried quite a bit, so we wondered if he might be in some kind of pain. He had several issues from birth, which made things all the more confusing. One of them was itchy eczema from head to toe (that’s another story for another day).

Happy because things are going well and life is grand? Could be. But most of us do not live that kind of life. We have struggles and challenges. God is clear that during our lives, we will experience our fair share of labors, cares, and tribulations. And still He tells us that a merry heart does us good. Which means it must be possible!

naomi-pegs

Lots of times we talk about the “how” of real food. How to do this, how to do that. But how often do we consider why? The “why” is often more important than the “how.” It gives us the motivation for all that we do, including how we prepare and eat foods.
