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

Herbs

How and why I got started.

All glory to God (Ephesians 3:20; Col 3:17)

for His Holy Spirit leading me

to research and find all of the herbs and supplements that got me back 2 good, naturally,

safely, and without any nasty side effects.

At the bottom of this page I discuss

discovering the miraculous benefits of

Turmeric & Bromelain (for pain relief)

and Holy Basil Extract (for anxiety and depression.)

THEY CHANGED MY LIFE!

Warning: Please never start

more than one supplement at a time

so that if you do have a reaction,

you will know what to discontinue.

My rule of thumb is

to allow 2 full weeks between starting new ones

because it has never taken more than that amount of time

for an herb (or an Rx for that matter),

to show me results.

My exception to this rule

is if you opt to start Turmeric and Bromelain

that aren't in the same supplement,

then you do need to start them simultaneously,

because they are known to work synergistically,

meaning that they increase each other's efficacy.

This applies to other herb combinations too,

such as Donq Quai and Siberian Ginseng;

and Magnesium and Cranberry Fruit, etc.

To be clear, although herbs have allowed me

to manage my pain and regain my best quality

of life and peace of mind in years,

they are not always able to prevent me from still needing

to fall back upon prescriptions

if and when all of my natural efforts,

fail to keep me out of, or get me out of, a severe pain flare up

because my spinal and shoulder damage is extensive

and severe.

To be equally clear

to the naysayers

who will try to jump on that statement

to speak against herbs:

even my numerous prescriptions

have NEVER been able

to prevent or manage well my

severe, debilitating pain flare-ups

that last no less than two weeks

and can last for months.

When this kind of a flare-up happens,

I do not get any relief unless I get a Toradol injection.

Please see my Toradol page (link below and under the Rx tab)

for more information on them as they have been

enormously helpful for my chronic pain management.

http://www.spinaltrapb2g.com/rxs/toradol_injections

Herbs HAVE VASTLY reduced my need

for some Rx's entirely or as the rule!

I was on TEN Rx's (for diagnoses noted listed near the top of my home page).

I vastly reduced usage of 7 and eliminated 10 entirely!

THIS IS A HUGE VICTORY

FOR CHRONIC PAIN PEOPLE!!

pain relief benefits of Turmeric & Bromelain

Holy Basil Extract (a.k.a. Tulsi) gives VAST RELIEF & FAST RELIEF from Anxiety & Depression!

Not Xanax & Anti-Depressants!

Depending on what site you read or news source you listen to, you will hear that anxiety is the number one medical condition in our society.

Given the stress of life in our crazy world, it makes sense.

Anxiety knows no boundaries.

It affects both sexes, (and yes, there are only TWO!) all ethnicities, ages, educational and economic backgrounds.

It can be a debilitating condition in and of itself for millions who suffer anxiety.

For those of us who got it as a byproduct of chronic pain, it's just one more overwhelming battle to handle because all of the tension that it causes, flares up our pain issues and make us hurt more by default.

As a Certified Holistic Life Coach, I can tell you that due to the inextricable link of the mind, body, spirit connection, if you suffer from anxiety, it is essential that you get it under control so that you may truly enjoy your best of all three.

When you have anxiety that disrupts your quality of life, it is common to get on an anti-anxiety medication.

I'll speculate that the most recognizable Rx is likely Xanax.

(Generic name: Alprazolam)

It works and it works very well.

Unfortunately it works so well that many people become addicted to it.

Having kicked cigarettes cold turkey and vowing no substance would ever control me again, I'm grateful to say, that addiction to this or any of my pain prescriptions has never been an issue for me; but I'll tell you what was...

What I call

"rebound anxiety".

Meaning that if I

stopped taking it,

I got worse anxiety

each time I didn't

take it.

Thus, people who don't realize that this is happening, will automatically take more Xanax to relieve it, thus, reinforcing their dependence on it and, perpetuating a vicious and self-defeating cycle!

Clearly, this is a very, very, unnecessary and bad thing.

Thus, I am immeasurably grateful to God's Holy Spirit for leading me to find and start Holy Basil Extract.

Holy Basil is

an all natural

herbal remedy

that not only

WORKED ON DAY

ONE TO

control my anxiety

JUST AS WELL AS

Alprazolam AND

without any

side effects,

but it also manages

my depression

so well that

I successfully

discontinued

Cymbalta!

Now that is not to say that I don't still have the diagnoses of anxiety and depression; I do.

But having a diagnosis and having its symptoms are two very different things.

The worst thing that happens to me now that I so successfully treat my anxiety and depression naturally with Holy Basil Extract, is that I have a predisposition to choke up at times that I didn't used to when on Cymbalta.

Does that annoy me? Immensely.

Is it better than taking prescription drugs that with long term use will cause me to have health ills far worse than anxiety and/or depression?

Immeasurably!

I deal with the embarrassment of choking up by focusing on my gratitude that I have been able to eliminate one Rx entirely and greatly reduce usage of another by over 90%!

THAT IS A HUGE NATURAL HEALTH VICTORY!!!

ALL GLORY TO GOD!

See the bottom of this column for links on the God-given benefits & efficacy of Holy Basil Extract.

Lastly, once I watched

Dr. David Perlmutter

and heard what he had to

say about the JAMA stats

for women on

anti-depressants,

I WAS EVER MORE

GRATEFUL TO GOD

for getting me

off of Cymbalta!

*****ATTENTION DIABETICS*****

I've recently been told that Holy Basil MAY help to lower glucose (blood sugar).

My disabling injuries and resulting forced sedentary life made me gain 73 pounds!

And once I got fat, I became "pre-diabetes"; which is extra concerning due to my dad and his dad having it.

Thus, if you have any glucose issues or have been diagnosed with and/or treated for diabetes, please be sure to discuss it with your doctor and pharmacist to not have any issues with it dropping too low.

I also take chromium picolinate and cinnamon as well as Alpha Lipoic Acid (300mg twice a day) to help me deal with neuropathic pains, and to avoid becoming a full-blowin diabetic.

Anxiety &

Teeth Grinding

Why You Must Get a

Custom Made

Mouth Guard

For me and many, anxiety manifests in the forms of teeth grinding, insomnia and a constant tenseness that is like you are always holding your breath.

If you have the teeth grinding issue, PLEASE get yourself a mouth guard.

I know, they are a few hundred dollars and if your life has been decimated by a disabling injury, they may as well be $10k because you just don't have it.

But let me tell you what else you don't have:

The hundreds and/or thousands of dollars in dental work that is coming your way for the damage to your teeth if you don't buy a mouth guard to prevent it.

EVEN if you have dental insurance, MOST have only 30% or 50% contributing payments and/or caps that are QUICKLY exceeded by crowns, root canals and other major work that grinding creates.

MAKE THIS A PRIORITY.

I promise you that if your pain issues become chronic or already are and you are a teeth grinder, you will add to your pain burdens.

If you have a cavity and pain but no money to get it filled, ask your dentist about the item in this link that helped me:

Turmeric & Bromelain for Chronic Pain & Inflammation!

Not Pain Pills & Anti-Inflammatories!

January 2012, I fell and broke my foot in two places and was laid up for three weeks.

After more than 6 years of living with severe chronic pain due to extensive spinal and shoulder damage stripping me of any quality of life, I'd absolutely had it with pain and I just wanted to get my life back 2 good.

I realized that the only way I could do so was to better manage my pain naturally.

Thus, for the first time, I stepped back to think about pain objectively.

It quickly hit me that regardless of the cause of pain, at the root of all pain, is inflammation.

Thus, control the inflammation and you control the pain!

It seems so simple that I can't believe it took me years to realize!

Oh wait a minute, yes I can because pain pills and other mood and mind-altering prescription pills don't make you smarter!

Once God blessed me with this epiphany, I immediately began online research for natural anti-inflammatory remedies and that led me to Turmeric.

Turmeric (curcuma longa) is a member of the ginger family and is a bright orange spice commonly used in Asian cooking AND it is what gives yellow mustard its bright color!

Thus, if you eat either of these foods, you already consume it.

The active chemical compound in turmeric is "curcumin". To learn more about it, click Dr. Axe's link here or one of the many below from a variety of sources that includes doctor-based and non-doctor based sites.

https://draxe.com/turmeric-benefits/

Continued reading showed that BROMELAIN is an all natural digestive enzyme found in fresh pineapple that potentiates (increases the power) of other supplements.

Thus, I began taking 300mg of Turmeric and 150mg of Bromelain in a combination supplement by "NOW" brand.

It is more expensive than other brands but it is available in many grocers so if you live with life-ruining pain, buy it to get on this natural remedy ASAP, just to get it in your body and once you determine its efficacy (or lack thereof, which, I've yet to know anyone that it hasn't helped) then you can order it or other brands, cheaper online.

When I fell and broke my foot, the fall not only jacked up my lumbar spine damage pain but I threw my hands out to catch myself and the impact of that action jolted my neck and shoulder pain into a severe flareup too. Thus, I wasn't just dealing with the broken foot bones pain but my severe chronic spinal and shoulder pain issues too.

I started the capsule of Turmeric and Bromelain while on ALL of my prescription pills.

Here's all 10 of my Rx's:

2 Different pain pills (Nucynta 50mg & Dilaudid 2mg)
A spinal cord damage pill (Baclofen 10mg)
A muscle relaxer (Skelaxin 800mg)
Anti-inflammatory (Meloxicam 15mg )
Anti-anxiety (Xanax 0.50mg)
Anti-depressant (Cymbalta 60mg)
Sleeping pill (Zolpidem 10mg)
A nerve damage pill (Neurontin 300mg)
Anti-nausea pill (Promethazine 25mg)

I did not check with my doctors or pharmacist first because I found no contraindications (a warning to not use due to possible harmful conflict with my Rx's) for either.

Don't do as I did; though I am not a doctor of any kind, I have a strong clinical background due to working for doctors and surgeons and I was comfortable that I had learned well from them the logic and reasoning needed to proceed on my own.

And most importantly, I trusted my God-given, Holy Spirit-driven instincts!

PLUS, WHEN I LOOKED AT THE WHOLE BIG PICTURE OF MY HEALTH AND LIFE, I HAD NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE!

The side effects of every pill I took were horrid.

I KNEW I COULD ONLY IMPROVE MY HEALTH BY GOING HERBAL & THANKS TO GOD, I DID!

Since turmeric is a spice commonly used in Asian cooking, which I love, and I've eaten fresh pineapple since little and never had any allergic reactions to it, I just had faith that I'd be fine and I was better than fine thanks to this amazing combination!

I was enjoying the best pain management without nearly as many prescription pills that I had in over 6 long years!!

Since they are both all natural, I took one every morning upon waking on an empty stomach.

Unlike my prescription anti-inflammatory that must be taken with food and still made my stomach feel like someone took a cheese grater to it, I could take Turmeric & Bromelain without food and without any ill side effects!

Another huge victory in my NATURAL pain relief campaign!

I took another one 12 hours later.

After just 2 full weeks of taking Turmeric & Bromelain twice daily, I reached for my Dilaudid because "it was time", (I had broken two bones in my foot and that fall jacked up all of my spinal and shoulder damage, as did using crutches), and that's when I realized that I didn't actually need one!

That's when I realized that thanks to God, I hit pay dirt with my research for a safe, natural, effective anti-inflammatory!

What a blessing!

Lastly, permit me to say that I have read in a couple of sites that taking too much Turmeric may adversely affect a person's gallbladder.

It has not been a consistent warning though.

If you are prone to gallbladder issues, talk to your dr. and consider taking the 300mg dose if safe for you.

If you are allergic to pineapple, it does not necessarily mean that you are allergic to bromelain; although you may be.

I can't know, and if you don't either, you should talk with your doctor to see if there is a way to determine to which enzyme and/or compound in pineapple you are allergic.

For more information please read the LiveStrong link below.

If it's too much trouble or involves costly testing, just stick with a turmeric only supplement; it will still benefit your pain relief goals.

However, when I went from taking the combination turmeric (300mg) and bromelain (150 mg) supplement to a turmeric only supplement that was 720mg, IT DID NOT MANAGE MY PAIN AS WELL AS THE COMBINATION SUPPLEMENT.

THAT SHOULD SPEAK VOLUMES ABOUT THE EFFICACY OF BROMELAIN TO POTENTIATE WHATEVER YOU TAKE IT WITH.

ANDDDD when I am still forced to take my pain pills, I take my turmeric and bromelain with them (even if that means I end up taking 3 or 4 turmeric and bromelain capsules a day) because they MAKE MY PAIN PILLS WORK FASTER, BETTER AND LAST LONGER!

EVERY SINGLE DOCTOR WHO PRESCRIBES PAIN PILLS SHOULD JUMP ON RECOMMENDING TURMERIC AND BROMELAIN TO EVERY PAIN PATIENT TO HELP THEM NEED LESS PAIN PILLS TO HAVE BETTER HEALTH BECAUSE GOD DID NOT INTEND FOR OUR BODIES TO BE ON 10 DIFFERENT RX'S A DAY!

And most of those Rx's were prescribed to be taken 2 and 3 pills per day EACH so do the math, it's far more than 10 total pills a day!

Please note:

I usually take the Swanson brand of many of my herbs and supplements to save money; but I started out on NOW brand Turmeric & Bromelain just to get them in my system to see if they worked since it is sold in most grocery stores.

Once I realized it did, I switched to Swanson's because they are much cheaper and I still enjoy the same natural pain relief benefits.
