Acne Drugs Causing Birth Defects
Isotretinoin, marketed as Accutane in the USA and Roaccutane in the UK, was initially a chemotherapy drug now used for severe acne. Despite its effectiveness, it poses significant risks, including suicide, seizures, bone degradation, heart attacks, strokes, and gastrointestinal issues like Crohn’s disease. Thousands of lawsuits have been filed against Roche Pharmaceuticals due to these severe side effects.
A Sydney Morning Herald report highlights tragic cases of young women experiencing miscarriages and birth defects after becoming pregnant on isotretinoin. The promise of clear skin is not worth the severe health risks. Safer, natural treatments should be prioritised.
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic: An Art, Science and Philosophy.
In the late 1800s, a self-educated teacher and healer named Daniel David Palmer performed what is now recognised as the first spinal adjustment, giving birth to modern Chiropractic.
The term “Chiropractic” is derived from Greek words meaning “treatment by hand,” which is precisely what chiropractors do. Chiropractors primarily use their hands to fine tune the body to promote healing and wellbeing.
Healing the Whole Body
The core philosophy of Chiropractic care is rooted in the belief that all bodily functions are interconnected, and the healing process encompasses the entire body. Here are some of key tenets:

In Australia over 70% of ALL adults are overweight. And a large percentage of this group are clinically obese. As for our children, over 45% are overweight by the time they turn 12 and about half of that figure are clinically obese. They never had a chance. They are never going to have a good day.

Is Aluminium Really Safe?
Aluminium is being found increasingly in our day to day lives. It is incorporated in our water, our food packaging, personal care products and more. There has always been an assumption that it is safe.
However research has shown that low level cumulative aluminium ingestion through all forms may have toxic effects on the body and in particular developing children.
