Back problems (long response)

[Guest guest]

Hi Chris,

 

I don't have the answers, but I can share what I have done with

success for my own (successful) 11-year battle with lower back pain.

 

First of all, I spent most of those years seeing a multitude of

doctors who gave me pill upon pill, painful treatment after painful

treatment (those shots in the back are killers.) One drug gave me the

worst nightmares I have EVER experienced! Many others just turned me

into a zombie.

 

I spent thousands of dollars on a chiropractor, who I really

appreciated and respected, but after about 5 years he said he did not

expect to " cure " my problem; the best we could hope for was to

mitigate the pain - with, of course, 3-times-per-week adjustments.

 

I also spent a year (and hundreds more dollars) working with a " pain

psychologist " when the doctors couldn't find a cure. When I ended my

" treatment " with him, I still had the back pain.

 

What worked: First, I did lose over 100 pounds. That did not solve the

problem, but it helped a little. Not as helpful, however, as the

medical doctors kept telling me it would. Everyone assured me that the

pain would end if I lost weight. It didn't.

 

Next, I started getting all of the metal removed from my mouth. That

did not immediately show any results. However ...

 

I went to a naturopathic doctor who tested me and informed me that the

remaining metal in one of my teeth was directly connected to, and

causing, the pain in my lower back. 2 days after I had the metal crown

and 5 pins removed, my pain lessened by at least 75%. And stayed at

that level until ...

 

I began a full body/emotions cleanse recommended by a dear friend, who

had told me I had parasites that were causing part of my problem. I

had pooh-poohed this theory - I mean, none of the doctors found

anything like that, so how would he know?

 

After the first half of the first phase of the cleanse (2 weeks), I

excreted a large number of icky things that turned out to be dead

parasites. Within 24 hours of this elimination, I have not had any

more of the back pain/limitations that I have experienced for 11 years.

 

Within this past 2 years, I did the following to supplement the

results I got:

 

- lost lots of weight;

- changed my eating habits to be primarily (not exclusively)

vegetarian and organic;

- do frequent liver cleanses and kidney cleanses;

- used a zapper regularly for the first year;

- use an inversion table for those times I overdo the exertions and

need some traction;

- stopped taking ALL medications (admittedly without " professional "

advice or supervision, so I don't say this is a good idea for everyone);

- use the BF & C as a wrap around my back every month or so just to

" feed " the tissues;

- use the Nerve food tea/tincture to support the nerve regeneration.

 

For many years I thought of myself as an invalid; I had my " handicap "

placard for the car and I expected to never run/bicycle/dance/whatever

again.

 

Last year I started learning to play tennis. I ran on the beach daily

until I moved to the desert; now I ride my bike, work out on weights,

dance jump hop skip and delight in being able to move freely. Just

being able to bend over and tie my shoes again is a pleasure.

 

I wish this for your sister, too.

 

I know how it is to be in constant, unrelenting pain. And I know the

feeling of hopelessness/helplessness that comes of going to treatment

after treatment without getting better.

 

I hope something in here will prove to be of value to her.

 

 

With love and hope,

 

CheriB
