Spinal Trap:

Back 2 Good (STB2G)

LEARN ABOUT THE MANY SAFE,

NATURAL, LOW-COST,

FAST-ACTING, EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS

THAT I USE FOR A REDUCTION OF AND IN SOME SITUATIONS, BETTER RELIEF OF:

disabling severe chronic pain

in my Cervical and Lumbar Spines and Shoulder,

anxiety, depression,

insomnia, spinal cord pain, muscle pain,

arthritis pain, a rotator cuff tear, bursitis,

brachial neuritis

& neuropathic pain such as sciatica!*

Like all who walk in these shoes,

I was alive without living

thanks to zero quality of life

from all of these chronic conditions** AND the

numerous side effects of prescription drugs commonly given for these deeply painful diagnoses.

Thanks to God, His herbs, and

music meditation,

I got Back 2 Good as naturally as I could by going herbal daily beginning in early 2012.

Doing so allowed me to eliminate 3 of my prescription drugs entirely and vastly reduce usage of the other 7!

What a health victory,

physically and spiritually!

Thanks to reading a Tyndale Life Application Study Bible (NLT) in 2015, I got Back 2 God to heal spiritually in a way that I had never been prior, because you can't know what you don't know; and until I finally knew Almighty God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit personally thanks to Dr. Charles Stanley (In Touch Ministries) and then reading the whole Bible,

I didn't realize that God had let me become physically disabled because I was already spiritually disabled.

If you are alive without living thanks to

any or all of these physically and/or spiritually disabling health conditions

& their mood and mind-altering Rx's,

I created Spinal Trap so that

YOU TOO CAN GET Back 2 Good!

Don't have a lot of money or

health insurance?

All the more reason to learn about the MANY COMMON LOW COST*

herbs, vitamins, and supplements!

Be Grateful, Be Well

High Blood Pressure Medication, Depression &

Chronic Pain People

The medical term for high BP is "hypertension".

The medical abbreviation for it that I was taught to use in medical charts when I worked for surgeons was "HTN".

I was first diagnosed with hypertension by a cardiologist in spring of 2001 after she ran a series of diagnostic tests.

Did you know that pain elevates

your blood pressure?

I was put on a blood pressure medicine known as Metoprolol (ma-tope-row-lall).

It is a beta blocker which, I am not educated to explain so I won't.

I was really strong, healthy and still thin in 2001 when I first got diagnosed with HTN. Thus, I didn't care to learn about something that by and large only required me to take a small dose of daily, that had no obvious side effects.

A couple of years later, I became a power walking fiend and thanks to my long legs and high energy, I did 5 miles in 50 minutes, five and six days a week.

Once I began that routine, I was actually able to CEASE my BP Rx altogether because this regular aerobic exercise took my BP back to its former safe, low normal rate!

Thus, if you suffer HTN and can get into a daily walking routine, DO!

I didn't start off at 5 miles.

I walked as far as I could go and when that was no longer challenging, I kept increasing the distance.

If you are depressed, you should try to get into a regular excercise routine for it benefits your spiritual health just as greatly as it does your body!

In just a few months, I got up to 5 miles and found that the perfect distance to rid myself of life's stress.

When chronic pain became a part of my life, doctors kept increasing my BP Rx because of my elevated BP readings.

Eventually, I was put on the max dose of Metoprolol, 100mg BID (BID means twice daily); and when the effort of just getting a shower and washing my hair, left me depleted of all energy for the rest of the day, that is when I finally learned that Metoprolol causes and exacerbates fatigue and depression.

Mind you, I was already on codeine, gabapentin, alprazolam, etc., so this BP Rx max dose was just the nail in the coffin of making me even more functionless.

To say it was awful is the understatement of the year. When you sustain a disabling injury that impacts every area of a human's existence, (physical, mental, emotional, financial, social, and spiritual), you will find it more common than not, to become clinically depressed.

Thus, taking a medication with this side effect, is only adding to your problems. Obviously though, having a heart attack or stroke from not being on a good BP Rx, is a worse option.

I thought I had no choice and I dealt with this max dose depressive whammy from 2007 until 2014.

Then I finally realized that after all of these years, surely, someone created a better BP Rx? My cardiologist said yes, and it's called Bystolic. In 2022 or so it came out in a generic too.

Most importantly, even if you don't endure chronic pain but you do suffer from depression and high blood pressure, please, read your BP Rx pharmacology sheet to see if depression is a possible side effect for your BP Rx.

If it is, ask your doc if switching to Bystolic is an option for you so that you can feel your absolute best while still protecting your body from the risks of hypertension.

Speaking of Depression...

STOP Hitting Yourself In The Head With a Hammer!

I know many people who are clinically depressed but are not chronic pain people.

Some take prescription medications for it; some do not.

Surprisingly, many, drink to excess. Then, unsurprisingly, they become deeply depressed and negative.

They cry, they hate themselves, they suffer. It's almost as bad to witness as it is for them to experience because you know as you watch them fall into despair that you can't stop it.

I believe that there are two types of problems in this life. One is being a victim of circumstances and the other, is being a victim of ourselves.

We are all both at times.

The thing is, once you realize that you are your own worst enemy for doing this, you should exercise common sense and discipline and not drink at all, let alone, to excess. (If you are an alcoholic then you know you shouldn't even have just one.)

Let's face it, we humans can turn into crying blithering idiots when drunk, without being clinically depressed! So why the heck put yourself in that position if you know that you are???

Look, if you have a chemical imbalance that predisposed you to depression, you can't help that.

But you can choose to not drink.

Let me put it another way.

If you had a horrible headache, would you pick up a hammer and whack yourself in the head with it???

I think not. Drinking, when you suffer from depression is basically the same unhealthy, painful choice.

I used to love to go to happy hour, have cocktails at home, invite friends over for dinner and drinks, etc...but when chronic pain and multiple pain related Rx's came into the picture, I could no longer drink.

It wasn't even because of my depression, it was simply that I knew it was stupid to mix prescription drugs with alcohol.

Additionally, it was the rule when on all pain Rx's that I've taken* that I would get nauseated.

Thus, the last thing I was going to do was add to that horrid feeling.

Plus, even if my pain pills didn't cause nausea, my super strong daily anti-inflammatory already exposes me to terrible things like a bleeding stomach so why would I add alcohol to the mix to increase bad things happening to my body?

Thus, I went years not being able to drink as the rule.

I missed it; and on occasion, I'd take a sip of someone's beer, and it wouldn't taste right or good anymore.

Where there's a will, there's a way!

In lieu of drinking, I'd buy a bottle of my favorite white wine and instead of having an actual glass, I'd pour some into a butter, olive oil and garlic sauce while sauteeing fresh mushrooms for pasta.

It gave just enough of its flavor to make me feel less ripped off by the widespread limitations that chronic pain and being on pain pills, causes.

Since I don't believe in wasting money, I'd use the rest of the wine up by making cheese fondue a couple of times over the next few days.

When I went herbal as the rule in 2012, I couldn't wait to be "like a real person" again and enjoy an ice cold beer on a hot summer day!

I had lost my drinking skills! (Tolerance)

I found that I buzzed severely off of just two light beers!

I realized it was to be expected but it was still surprised me.

I have also discovered now that my glucose (blood sugar) is not where I want it to be, due to being fat and living a sedentary life, that if I have even just one of my beloved Southern Comfort, it leaves me feeling lousy immediately.

Thus, if you are a diabetic, make sure that you check with your dr. about alcohol because it is vital to keep yourself from the destruction that uncontrolled diabetes wreaks on a body.

*Nucynta is the only pain pill that never made me nauseated. If you too have this lousy side effect from pain pills, please ask your dr. if Nucynta is an option for you.

Antibiotics for Dental & Colds?

Not anymore!

I was quite surprised when I called to schedule a new dental place for a prophylaxis (teeth cleaning) and exam in 2014, and requested the Amoxicillin I'd been instructed since 2001 to take prior to cleanings due to having a mild case of mitrovalve prolapse.

The dentist had his staffer call me and say that he'd prescribe the Amoxicillin for this first visit, but that the AMA has backpedaled on this prophylactic measure and that I needed to check with my dr. to see if he/she wanted me to continue.

I contacted my cardiologist and she said I may d/c (discontinue) taking them!

I was yet again, thrilled!

ONE MORE Rx ELIMINATED FROM MY LIFE! YAY!

If you have a heart condition for which you've been advised to take prophylactic antibiotic measures prior to dental visits, do what your doctor tells you.

I am not a doctor!

Considering that I've not gotten sick as the rule for 12 of the last 13 years thanks to regularly eating fresh garlic and taking Nature Made* brand garlic supplements, I haven't been on antibiotics except for this purpose, since 2001!

The one time I got sick?

I ran out of garlic and ran errands when a bad bug was going around.

When I woke up sick, I imediately bought two heads of garlic and ate them in 2-3 days.

(Garlic is an excellent decongestant!)

I got well as fast and in some cases faster, than my friends who went to the doctors and got on various prescriptions!

If you can't say that you have ever gone 12 years without any colds, flus, strep, upper respiratory infections, etc...stop wasting time, health and energy on getting sick!

Please visit the page link below (found under my Herbs tab) and read about the preventive powers of Garlic!

*Nature Made quit making their wonderful garlic tablets!

I am now using Nature's Bounty garlic tablets and have also taken Nature's Way Cayenne Garlic capsules for years. Cayenne is also helpful for inflammation and many other things, look it up!
