Can SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) be prevented?
A new book offers compelling theories that connect many unexplained infant deaths to brain stem malfunction caused by vertebral subluxation, or spinal misalignment. Each year, approximately 3,000 children die of SIDS…which is more than than all children who die of cancer, heart disease, pneumonia, child abuse, AIDS, cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy combined. The brain stem is the control center for respiration and cardiac function and there are in excess of 100 medical research papers pointing to brain stem abnormalities as the cause of SIDS. When the top vertebrae (called the atlas) subluxates, the brain stem malfunctions, causing the infant to stop breathing and die.
