Share Your Best Pain Relief Tips
and You Might Be a Winner…
A couple of weeks ago I was reading through some of the thousands of emails I get each day and I came across one that really struck me…
Someone had written in to tell us how much our free videos had helped his wife… but he also said that one of the things that worked the best for her when it came to pain relief with mustard…
Yes, mustard… now, if I recall correctly it was prepared in a special way… but it got me thinking, I bet that there are dozens, if not hundreds of other little-known natural remedies out there that most people just don’t know about…
So, I decided a great way to get everyone to share their best pain relief tips, strategies and remedies would be a contest…

1st Prize: Inversion Table ($299 value)
2nd Prize: Lose The Back Pain System ($97 value)
3rd Prize: Freedom Back – Back Support ($59 value)
The team here at the Healthy Back Institute will choose the winners and the deadline is Thursday, September 10th.

If you want to make an inexpensive hot pack, make your own rice bag. Take a handtowel, fold in in half and sew it together on the three open sides – leaving a 3-inch opening. Turn it right-side out and fill half full of uncooked rice (NOT instant rice). Stitch the opening closed. Place in microwave for about 2 minutes, depending on your microwave. Caution it does get hotter than you think, so be careful. Place on sore back – it stays warm for more than an hour!
I had back surgery when I was 30 because I ruptured my disc that affected my right leg. Then 18 months later I herniated the next disc that affected my left leg. About 3 or 4 times a year my back would go out, from car wrecks or overdoing etc. But it was always my left leg & back that were bothered. Then 2 years ago I was rear ended in another car wreck in June of 2007. That one took out my right leg that hadn’t bothered me for 30 years. Went to a “top” back doctor and he sent me home to take aspirin. By Dec. of 2007 I was in so much pain I finally went in to Instacare at the hospital and the Dr. gave me a shot & put me on Celebrex. It relieved the pain so I was pain free as long as I was in bed. Which from June to Dec of 2007 I was in horrible pain even laying down. So that was a big improvement. Then in Feb. 6, 2008 I read in the newspaper the article that Dr. Gott writes about drinking apple pectin & Welch’s grape juice. I had nothing to lose & didn’t want to be on Celebrex because of the risk of heart attacks. So – I tried it – I drank 2 oz. of liquid apple pectin & 6 oz. of Welsh’s grape juice 3 times a day. Noticed a improvement in only 2 weeks. In June of 2008 I stopped the celebrex pills. In the summer of 2008 I cut back to only 1 glass of pectin & grape juice. In the late fall of 2008 I stopped it entirely. I would need a glass or 2 or 3 about every 3 weeks since – if I would overdo or walk too much or bend wrong or drive too many hours or shop too long. Here it is October of 2009 and I’m still fine. I still have the problem but if I can’t find a Dr./someone to cure/help me – this stuff is working and it is natural. Many people in my water therapy class tried the apple pectin & grape juice and have been happy with the results. It works on knees also they said. I buy the liguid apple pectin by the case from the local grocery store so it is cheaper and get the Welch’s grape juice from Sam’s club. All I can say is try it – it can’t hurt you and might help you.
After back surgery 9 years ago I started getting bad siactica pain I tried everything above. Cold water is good but not available any time. I had such bad pain and could not stand on my foot so I got a cold pack that I keep in my freezer and sat on it on the lower back on the left side for 20 minites 4x for two days, then 3x for 2 days, then 2x for 2 days, then once this deminished the pain to nothing. Everyday or if I think the pain is coming I lay on the floor make my 2 hands into fists and place them under my seat on both sids with the knuckles against my body . I move them around to different places until I find the sorest spots on each side. Then I rock my body back and forth till the pain subsides and I move them again. I do this now Daily and the strong pain has been gone . I have not used the ice packs since te last strong pain. At least there is cost for being pain free. My ice pack is waiting for me .

Hi Mohammed,
We would suggest that you get a copy of the Free Back Pain Book “7 Day Back Pain Cure” to get you started. You can find more information about it on a couple of posts on this blog in Archive for August, 2009.
Hi, I’ve been doing the microcosmic orbit meditation and it’s made
my back strong and I’m able to breath better, along with herbal
remedies and that sort of thing it’s proven to be most valuable to me.
Oh btw I forgot to mention I had a rather large curve in my spine and it’s been getting straighter, although this takes a little time.
For those diagnosed with fibromyalgia: you may really need thyroid. I had severe neck pain for years. My muscles were so tight, they were like bands of steel. No therapist wanted to work on me. I tried most every therapy mentioned here and so many more. Finally, I diagnosed myself as hypothyroid and within three days of natural dessicated thyroid (armour), I was able to turn my neck for the first time in 10 years. Now, I take T3 only. Last week I found out Stanford is doing a clinical trial for fibromyalgia using T3. They state it is the first trial of its kind. Too bad the Stanford docs were so arrogant when I told them to do this.
I also highly recommend dmso for pain. Between dmso and celadrin lotion, I have most pains covered (other than the neck pain) Celadrin is amazing. It is lightening fast in pain relief. I used it for cracked ribs when nothing else touched the pain. And dmso is awesome for many pains. I put it on a cotton ball and on my gums and it heals pain in 5 minutes.
Turmeric and msm I take on a daily basis. And magnesium and Vit C and B complex and extra pantothenic acid.
I love Epsom salts baths for back pain too…mmm….
Good luck to all…and thanks much to all for sharing.
who won the table???
I use The Back Revolution 90/90 inversion machine every single day. I have very bad backpain that is disabling at times.
I work at a computer all day and this is the machine that I recommend to everyone.

This is too easy. The number one answer is Angelis Water. If you haven’t heard of it before, you won’t believe anything you hear about it now, without first hand experience. It’s unbelievable, you have to see for yourself. Thanks, Pat. Shall I call you with my shipping address or will you notify me by email? Thanks, Pat
My daughter had a bad knee at the age of 14 and her back always hurt. So I was told about a non surgical procedure called cold light laser therapy. Its has made all the difference in the world with out getting cut open.
