I was thinking about how I raise my kids in a home where they don’t know what the word Tylenol means. Where they have to ask, “What’s that?”, when they see a picture of a child crying while receiving a vaccine. It dawned on me that I am truly raising my kids in an environment that teaches them to not want to put foreign and harmful things into their bodies.
Think about it. Do you give your child Tylenol or Motrin every time they get a fever or have a teething pain? Do you run to the store and then douse them with grape cough syrup when their little bodies are trying to work something out of their lungs? When allergies hit or they have an allergic reaction to something, do you let them pop the Benadryl pills? Do they get rounds of pink antibiotics because they keep getting ear infections? Are they exposed to endless drug commercials that indoctrinate them that if they love their family and friends they’ll get the flu shot or that taking prescriptions will make them happy on a beach?
Are you teaching your children to have no faith in their bodies? Are you raising them to believe that putting drugs in their body won’t hurt them?
Our kids know that they need to be checked for subluxation and that if it is present there is nerve interference and THAT can cause sickness. They know to stay subluxation free, because that equals HEALTH. They have complete faith that if they don’t feel well, their bodies are working overtime to take care of that. They welcome fevers and listen to their bodies. The only thing they put in their bodies are vitamins from Whole Foods that taste like candy to them!
So, why in the world, when they get older would they want to put something harmful in their bodies? They will have been raised to believe that putting anything foreign in their bodies is harmful and quite frankly stupid, just like vaccines and Tylenol. Because it’s really all the same, isn’t it?
Take a really close look at your daily lives and ask yourself, “Am I really teaching my kids to say no to drugs?”
