7 Steps Toward Eliminating Back Pain
Follow these 7 steps and very likely your back pain will vanish. In all probability you will gain new abilities to:
- stand pain free for longer periods of time
- sit pain free for longer periods of time
- reduce your need for pain medication
- engage in more pain free physical activities you now avoid
- enjoy more frequent lovemaking
- experience deeper uninterrupted sleep
I have been exploring non invasive techniques to reduce and eliminate chronic severe back pain ever since I was in a car accident on Maui in early 2004. These 7 steps are the best solutions I’ve discovered to address the many causes of debilitating back pain.
Step 1.
Eat A High Raw Whole Foods Diet
Give yourself the opportunity to see if your back pain is the result of intestinal blockages, gas and/or constipation. With your permission sign up for my newsletter and receive my free eBook as a thank you. My eBook outlines a safe, sensible and comprehensive high raw whole foods cleanse.
I would like you to discover something worthwhile in my eBook to clean up, tune up or fine tune your current diet. I wonder if you’ve ever noticed how sometimes your back pain moves from right to left and is relieved briefly with a bowel movement.
Do this. Two hours after eating a meal, lie down on your back in bed and with your fingers gently press on your belly. Work around your belly button and entire abdominal area noticing any hard or painful areas.
I have felt referral pain in my back and chest from painful intestinal blockages, gas and/or constipation. Very often the intestinal pain is directly in line with the pain in my back. You can gently massage around the painful areas and often feel the connection between the pain in your guts and the pain in your back.
If you’re eating a predominantly cooked diet with meat, eggs and dairy as well as refined and processed foods, you are ingesting very little fiber and water rich raw vegetables. Slow digestion from lack of fiber and water slows elimination causing pain in your guts and often in your lower back too.
Step 2.
Eat An Anti-Inflammatory Diet
It may be that you’ll enjoy signing up for my newsletter and finding out my free eBook is an anti-inflammatory high raw whole foods cleanse which includes the anti-inflammatory spices, ginger, cinnamon and turmeric.
And if you wish, add the anti-inflammatory Omega 3 fish oil supplement which helps relax the muscles in your back. I’m testing two different brands of Omega 3 fish oil supplements right now.
The first Omega 3 fish oil supplement is 400 mg combined EPA and DHA in two capsules which I review here. The second Omega 3 fish oil supplement is a concentrated formula with 1100 mg combined EPA and DHA which I review here.
Step 3.
Maintain Cellular Hydration
When I was being treated by my chiropractor on Maui for head, neck and back injuries sustained in my car accident, he told me that it was crucial that I stay hydrated to reduce and prevent severe back pain.
He went on to explain to me that the discs in our backs are like little water filled sponges that are puffy and soft, kind of like a nice fat padded cushion between our vertebrae acting as shock absorbers. When our bodies need water the discs are the first place to be tapped for water which causes them to go flat. They no longer cushion the vertebrae and without the water filled discs as protection we experience back pain.
I’m not sure if his statement is accurate. I do know staying hydrated alleviates my back pain. Maybe it will surprise you to notice that a diet low in magnesium and other macro minerals is an underlying cause of dehydration even if you are drinking 6-8 glasses of water a day. And you can be pleased to know that Magnesium is known to relax muscles.
My free eBook offer lists containing a broad spectrum of mineral rich food choices including magnesium rich foods. It may be that you’ll enjoy eating your big mineral rich steamed vegetable salads every day. I wonder if you will sign up now or when you are finished reading this article.
It’s so nice to know you can easily supplement your diet with magnesium too. I’ve been testing two different supplement brands containing magnesium. The first brand I review contains both calcium and magnesium and the second brand I review is magnesium only.
And I’d like to have you discover a raw food that contains half of your magnesium requirement for the day in 3 tablespoons. Maybe you’d rather eat your magnesium as a food source rather than a supplement. Here’s a review I wrote about Hemp Seeds.
Step 4.
Increase Circulation
Research has shown that painful back muscles in spasm are starving for oxygen. Here’s a few ways to increase circulation and feed those oxygen starved muscles to eliminate back pain:
- exercise: walk on uneven surfaces, hula dance and sun salutation for twisting and stretching. Only attempt when muscles are warm to avoid cramping
- massage: give yourself a treat
- hot showers, hot tub and saunas: more relaxing treats
- inversion table or back swing with review: best time to use is when muscles are warm to avoid cramping
Step 5.
Sleep
You do all your healing and recovery when you sleep. If you’re waking up tired in need of a stimulant to get you going, you really require more sleep combined with healthy and good nutrition. And it’s very rewarding to know it’s worthwhile for you to sign up and receive your own free eBook which will help you clean up, tune up or fine tune your current diet.

Step 6.
Emotions
You may have heard an angry person describe the person they are angry with as “a pain in the ass.” This literal language often translates into real pain in the ass, back and shoulders . Back pain is considered an epidemic in our culture. Can you notice a connection between your emotions and your back pain?
And you can wonder whether you are repressing anger when you have a pain in your back, shoulders and butt. Next time you notice pain and discomfort in your back, ask yourself if you are angry or anxious about anyone or any situation you find yourself in. Refrain from answering your own question and just observe your thoughts and feelings.
Often the answer will just pop into your conscious mind from your unconscious mind as a picture, feeling or voice. Perhaps beginning to notice the connection between your thoughts and emotions while observing your back pain allows you to address the repressed anger which resolves your back pain immediately or soon there after.
I’ve made a deal with my unconscious mind that if I am ignoring repressed anger or anxiety that it can notify me via back pain and I will stop and take notice immediately. Works wonders for me. If you’re anything like me it will work for you too.
The reason I made this deal with my unconscious mind is because I know it will find a way to let me know when I am repressing anger and anxiety. I want to make sure it’s somewhere I will notice and take action.
By addressing the repressed anger and anxiety when I have back pain I am preventing the pain from moving and hiding in another place I might be less aware of resulting in much more of a problem for me than back pain. There is speculation that many of the chronic disease we have in our society have roots in repressed negative emotions.
All that’s really important is for you to stop and immediately deal with any repressed anger and anxiety when your attention is drawn to back pain. And you can be pleased that when you ignore the physical pain and focus on the internal emotions your back pain subsides.
At first it might take some time to reduce or eliminate your back pain but later your back pain will disappear immediately as soon as you focus on your emotions. This little gem has helped me reduce a significant amount of back pain.
Step 7.
Posture
OK, everyone slouches, twists, bends, pushes and pulls in a variety of seemingly contorted ways. Our body can and will do all sorts of crazy positions. The really important thing is just to be fully aware of your posture and how you feel.
For example, when I sit down to write I immerse myself into the flow and am only aware of what I want to write about. First, I assume the most excellent posture that is comfortable and I will maintain tension free. I breathe deeply and disappear into my writing.
When I finish a sentence or an idea I check in with myself and notice how I feel and how my body has changed its position from what I originally intended when I began writing. I SLOWLY and I mean SLOWLY, and then slow it down even further, as you adjust yourself into your most excellent posture that is comfortable for you.
I emphasize SLOWLY because this is the key to eliminating back pain with this step. If instead of moving SLOWLY once you realize you need to correct your posture, you quickly snap yourself into your new position like you’re some Marine recruit and your Marine Lifer Superior Officer just walked in the door catching you snoozing on the job, you risk the possibility of injuring yourself further.
And I think you’re going to enjoy being surprised that practicing these simple 7 steps will move you toward eliminating back pain.

Magnesium Deficiency Hidden Cause Of Chronic Diseases
|
||||||
Following my self designed comprehensive high raw whole food cleanse I decided to invest in some extra insurance and re-mineralize myself with 2 essential macro nutrients and electrolytes, calcium and magnesium. The first supplement I tested for 3 months is a Calcium Magnesium Citrate and Malate formula.
Pay attention to the last three letters of citrate and malate. This is the single most important distinction to make when choosing what calcium or magnesium supplement to buy. Make sure the supplement contains the mineral form ending in “ate” This will guarantee you the most bioavailable minerals which means you will absorb and utilize them easier than other formulas that contain the mineral form ending in “ide” as an example.
I’m now testing this magnesium supplement because I want to give my body time off from calcium supplementation. I have just recently begun a trial test supplementation program after several years of eating whole foods exclusively.
Magnesium only supplements are rarely sold in the bioavailable form “ate.” That’s why I like this magnesium supplement. Have a good glass of water ready because they are large.
If you are curious to know why you need magnesium and/or you’d rather eat food for your nutrients instead of buying packaged supplements, read my article Hempseeds Magnesium Rock Star.

My High Raw Whole Foods diet is high in both calcium and magnesium rich foods so I want to test this supplement at half dose which is one 200 mg tablet daily instead of the recommended two tablets or 400 mg daily. 400 mg is 100% of your DV so I’m getting 50% or half of my DV. I figure I’ll get the other 50% from eating my High Raw Whole Foods diet.

Omega 3 Long Chain Brain Mood Food
|
||||||
I was looking for a long chain omega 3 fatty acid fish oil supplement that passed stringent 3rd party certification with flying colors for freshness, purity and potency. This supplement has it all and a couple other features that separated it from many omega 3 fish oil supplements.
The first thing I like is that they harvest the oil from smaller fish lower on the food chain such as sardines and anchovies.
The other feature that pulled it ahead of the crowd was that this omega 3 fish oil supplement is in its natural triglyceride form. To concentrate EPA and DHA in fish oil supplements the natural triglyceride molecule is dismantled and the desired fatty acids are concentrated. There are 2 ways to deal with this:
- reassemble the triglyceride molecule or
- treat the fatty acid mixture with ethyl alcohol to create an ethyl ester molecule. Ethyl ester fatty acids are an unnatural addition to our human diet.
This was extremely difficult information to get from the other companies I was researching. Customer service at many companies were unprepared for this question, “Is your fish oil product in its natural triglyceride form or in an ethyl alcohol form?”
I think the answer is worth knowing in order to make an educated decision. It is overwhelming at times trying to sort omega 3 fish oil supplements out, is it not? It’s nice to know I will help you by checking out these little details for you.
Two capsules have a combined total of 1100 mg of EPA and DHA. This is much higher than the first omega 3 fish oil supplement I tested which has 400 mg in two capsules. I still have the lower dose supplement and often take one capsule of each per day. If I’m busy I might take only one capsule per day. I choose the Nordic brand first because of the higher EPA and DHA dosage.
There is a hint of lemon flavor in the large capsule and I am thrilled to never taste any fish oil. Take them with a real meal instead of a light snack for easy digestion. I find drinking more water about 30 minutes after eating also helps me digest them.
- EPA and DHA, the two main components of Omega-3 from fish oil, are essential for growth and development throughout the human life cycle.
- Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega contains 70% pure omega-3, and is purified through molecular distillation to ensure the absence of impurities including PCBs and heavy metals.
- General Nutrient Support Ultimate Omega offers a high concentration of both EPA and DHA. This formulation was used in a bipolar disorder study at Harvard University.

Omega 3 Fish Oil For Body Mind Emotions
|
||||||
This is the first omega 3 fish oil supplement I decided to test after completing my self designed comprehensive high raw whole food cleanse.
I know that the short chain omega 3 fatty acids, ALA, found in plant based foods is slower and less efficient converting ALA to EPA and DHA so I wanted to boost my omega 3 levels since I ate very little cold water omega 3 fish during my self designed comprehensive high raw whole food cleanse.
Two capsules have a total of 400 mg of EPA and DHA. I know this is a lower dosage than used in the clinical tests so my second test of omega 3 fish oil supplements have a combined total of 1100 mg of EPA and DHA in two capsules.
They were easy to digest as long as you ate them with a substantial meal. The company recommends eating them immediately before your 2 largest meals. I found eating them after I ate to be superior in digestibility than eating them before my meal. They have no fishy aftertaste which gives them a gold star.
I like the fact that the company minimally processes their fish oil to deliver a pure cold pressed extra virgin salmon oil. The capsules are big so have plenty of water on hand.
If you consume:
- low levels of key vitamins and mineral
- a poor diet, high in saturated and trans fats
- alcohol
- prescription meds
you will benefit by supplementing with omega 3 fish oil. And I wonder if it will surprise you when you realize that taking my suggestions improve your quality of life.

When choosing a supplement I recommend buying the most bioavailable form you can find. If the supplement name ends in (ate) as in citrate or malate you will absorb the nutrients easily because it is chelated or bonded to an organic molecule which increases bioavailabilty.
If the supplement name ends in (ide) as in oxide you will probably be unable to absorb the nutrients.
When I ended my comprehensive whole food cleanse, I opted for the Jarrow Calcium Magnesium citrates and malates with Vitamin D as Ergocalciferol to build up my calcium and magnesium levels. 3 tabs taken at 3 different meals provide 500 IU of vitamin D, 500mg of calcium and 250mg of magnesium.
The 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium is a safe formula that will insure the magnesium will not be blocked by high calcium levels. If you’re like me you will find your muscles relax easily and you sleep soundly when you supply adequate magnesium levels.
Vitamin D is essential for intestinal calcium and phosphorous absorption. Ergocalciferol is a vegetarian form of vitamin D. Magnesium works with calcium and other minerals in bone formation. Moreover, magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, including in energy (ATP) production, as well as cardiac and smooth muscle contractions.
Weslo Inversion Flex System Reduces Chronic Back Pain
|
||||
This one inexpensive piece of equipment is dramatically reducing my chronic back pain which resulted from head, neck and back injuries sustained in an automobile accident on Maui in 2004. During physical therapy I had a chance to try the inversion table or back swing as we called it on Maui for the first time and was thrilled with the quick and immediate results of eliminating pain during just one session.
As soon as l was upside down the intense pain and pressure from the compression caused by being upright ceased. No more fighting gravity! The gentle stretch which I can easily control myself with minimal hand movements feels soothing to my muscles and allows me to completely and deeply relax the painful tired muscles in spasms relieving all pain. Deeper and more complete relaxation becomes very easy using the inversion table.
Since Maui we’ve traveled and lived in several places and because we were always in temporary situations I didn’t want to haul around an inversion table. That all changed 17 days ago when this exact inversion table pictured here showed up at our door. Jay had bought it from Amazon with free super saver shipping and surprised me with a present, my own inversion table! His sweet gesture on my behalf guarantees he’ll be able to use my inversion table too.
Since that wonderful Friday afternoon I have been religiously taking at least 2 sessions a day, one in the morning and one in the evening for about 15 minutes each. Today I took an extra one after I transplanted my red flame salvias in our coastal Pacific hummingbird and bee herb and flower garden.
During the first few sessions with the inversion table I felt pressure on my ankles. I changed my footwear and now wear my heavy snow boots. This gives me plenty of padding and now my ankles feel fine.
Now after 17 days I have longer pain free periods each day. If you have chronic back pain or just want to give your heart a break and bring more blood flow to your brain easily this inversion table is the ticket to feeling great.
Product Features
- Inversion system helps decrease pressure on spine and increase blood flow to body’s extremities
- Release muscle tension and tone your musculature via gradual stretching after your workout routine
- Padded nylon bench provides comfort and support, and foam padded handlebars help you achieve proper form and balance

In 2005 I was living in downtown Pai’a on the North Shore of Maui not far from Ho’okipa Beach recovering from a car accident. Twice a week I would have an hour massage treatment at a local chiropractic office in downtown Pai’a.
I had never had a professional massage before the car accident and it became my supreme opportunity for healing which eventually fostered an ultimate transformational event of deep personal growth and recuperation on many levels, physically, emotionally, energetically, mentally/intellectually and spiritually. (More on that in future articles.)
In addition to twice a week massage treatments by a very conscious, loving and experienced healer who became my friend, these massage treatments gave me an opportunity to test my own custom healing massage oils in a real situation.
I formulated complex formulas with a blend of many essential oils I knew contained properties to enhance the results of my massage and speed recovery. One obvious immediate benefit was my skin loved the oils and became silky soft and smooth.
The blended complex floral aromas released their delicate soothing essences for the entire day reminding me of the deep feeling of relaxation I experienced during my massage treatments.
My new soft smooth silky skin combined with the subtle luscious scents triggered my memory often during the day to recall that deep feeling of relaxation. Because my newly educated muscles remembered the feeling taught during the massage, a greater sense of relaxation remained throughout the entire day.
Swimming, showering and living outside for the greater part of the day everyday (that’s the best part about living on the islands) began to dry my skin and I initiated my own at home massages, my mini spa holiday, in between my professional massages to retain and enhance my skin’s soft and silky smoothness.
I ordered a big jar of Nutiva Organic Unrefined Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. Everyday I would strip down and massage that Nutiva Organic Unrefined Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Coconut Oil into my dry thirsty skin.
What a treat to be on the islands in the subtropics and cover every inch of my skin with Nutiva Organic Unrefined Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Coconut Oil! The scent of the coconut oil is rich and nutty and conjures the feeling of being at home on Maui.
The massage therapists often remarked on how nice my skin felt. They said I had the softest and smoothest skin of all their clients. I have to thank the Nutiva Organic Unrefined Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Coconut Oil and my wonderful loving hands.
When my friend Caroline got back from the mainland she told me the worst thing about going to the mainland was her skin was continually dry and flaky. Something which never happened to her on Maui. I forgot about that until I came to the mainland and lived with indoor heat for the first time in 10 years.
Heat is unnecessary when you live on the North Shore of Maui. Jungle living at its best! Once again I ordered a big jar of Nutiva Organic Unrefined Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Coconut Oil and began my daily at home massages, my mini spa holiday, by covering every inch of my dry flaky skin with the lusciously rich soothing oil.
