As the eggs are ingested into the digestive tract of man there is
created a necessity for adaptative action on the part of Innate
Intelligence for the purpose of expelling them. This action will be
sufficient to result in the expulsion of the larvæ if there is no
interference with the transmission of mental impulses to the tissue
cells. When this action takes place there will be no injury done, but
if the action does not take place the eggs remain in the body and
hatch, producing what is known as a hydatid dis-ease.

CHIROPRACTIC PEDIATRICS

THE BABY
CHAPTER I
THE BABY
Chiropractic has nothing to do with obstetrics, but the chiropractor
should be informed on the subject of child hygiene. It must be
remembered that our idea is not to substitute here for the services
of the obstetrician, a food diet for the infant when the mother is
unable to nurse her child. The proper application of Chiropractic
will eventually enable the mother, who might otherwise be unable to
do so, to nurse her baby.
The child is the most helpless of the animal kingdom and requires
special attention. This must come through the observation of Nature’s
laws and an educated adaptation by means of substituting the educated
mind of the adult for that of the infant.
Feeding
The child that is normal will give little trouble since Nature has
made provision for all processes necessary to maintain the normal
functions of the body. In order that these processes be maintained
it is necessary to have food, proper environment, and sufficient
exercise. When the mother is able to nurse the babe the problem of
nourishment is solved. If the mother is unable to nurse the child and
if the condition which makes this impossible is of such long standing
that adjustments will not get results on the mother within the
nursing period of her child, then the question of baby food should be
left to the obstetrician who can prescribe the proper diet.
If the child has difficulty in digesting the food, adjustments should
be given to enable Innate to bring about the proper adaptation.
The bottle fed baby will require more care than the breast fed
baby. Special care must be exercised to keep the bottles and other
receptacles in a proper sanitary condition. This can be done by
boiling them. Great care must be taken that the nipples used on the
bottle are not allowed to become sour and otherwise unhygienic.
