Back pain: choosing the best approach
Back pain? Ok, so working to strengthen core muscles can bring good relief. However – for most people that’s not the whole answer. Worldwide 619 million people suffer from back pain. https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/low-back-pain#
Prevalence increases with age – with most cases reported at age 50-55.
Long term sufferers often turn to spinal surgery to work miracles. But unfortunately this has mixed results - with many requiring second and subsequent operations. https://www.orthobethesda.com/blog/spine-surgery-when-it-works-and-when-it-doesnt/
A new approach
We now know toxins in common foods like caseins, glutens and phytates cause chronic inflammation … in joints, spine and muscles. Back pain is just one consequence - along with neck, hip and leg pain.
The trouble is - we eat these toxins several times a day. And over time, damage accumulates. So along with worsening pain there can be permanent bone degeneration and tissue breakdown.
From here it’s a slippery slope to extreme medications and impaired mobility … then it’s surgical intervention: joint replacement, insertions or spinal surgery.
How food toxins breed inflammation
Many foods carry nasty things that don’t belong in the human body and actually cause damage: phytates, caseins, glutens, saponins, alkaloids and others. These engage and provoke the immune system - leading to Leaky Gut and breeding inflammation, damaging nerve cells and disrupting systems.
The breakthrough
There is now good evidence that avoiding food toxins can stop new inflammation - and allow the body to begin healing itself naturally. The process can take months - but many notice benefits within a few weeks.
Chronic back pain deprives many of the simple pleasure of walking with the dog.
Member letters:
Valerie: ‘I wish to tell you that your program has been wonderful for me! What an amazing difference in my overall health! I can sleep better than I have in years! No more belly trouble, or worse, BACK PAIN! I've had that back pain for over 20 years! I'm not afraid to work in the yard or do other strenuous things that I always thought were "hurting my back"--I'm healthier than I thought! I wish I had found you sooner, but am so grateful to have found you at all! Thanks for a sensible, systematic approach to taking care of the body! I just thought my body was "out to get me!" I'd seen at least 6 doctors over the years, and not one asked about my diet…’ Valerie.
Barbara: I have been on many prescriptions, and my doctor finally diagnosed fibromalgia after a process of elimination.
I had pain everywhere. It seemed to be in both muscles and bones. Even a couple of days where the pain was so bad that I couldn't do much of anything but sit in a chair. Now I am nearly pain free, I am sleeping so much better and I don't have food cravings, and have lost about 20 pounds. Not one of the doctors I had seen ever recommended a change in my eating habits. Barbara
