REGAIN YOUR BEST
QUALITY OF LIFE
NATURALLY!
Stop letting:
chronic pain
depression
anxiety
anger
obesity
and worst of all,
multiple prescription drugs,
strip you of your peace of mind;
let Spinal Trap,
help you
get Back 2 Good, naturally!
Think about it, God gave us herbs THOUSANDS of years before He let man give us (often harmful!) pharmaceuticals!
Prescription drugs have only been around for about 120 years.
WHAT is Spinal Trap: Back 2 Good?
Spinal Trap: Back 2 Good is a phenomenally unique concept that God led me 2 create 2 motivate and educate the millions who suffer chronic pain all over the world by sharing my almost 15 years of first-hand experience with it and my never-ending efforts in Western medicine, alternative medicine, and self-help healing modalities, so that all of you whose quality of life has also been decimated by disabling injuries, severe chronic pain, (or chronic pain from any devastating health crisis), and chronic pain's many common quality of life ruining byproducts such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, anger, and obesity, can reduce and eliminate prescription drug usage as is safe for you, and get back 2 good naturally!
WHO benefits from Spinal Trap: Back 2 Good? EVERYONE
Whether you "just" suffer from anxiety/depression or insomnia or neuropathy or you have endured life-altering injuries that left you disabled with chronic pain, or you love someone who has been, or those that you help in your job have been, Spinal Trap will give you honest, superior, first-hand expert knowledge from the pain patient perspective to exponentially increase your ability to more effectively help yourself, your loved one, your patients, clients, or customers, because if living with these numerous conditions has taught me anything, it is that seeing and even hearing about someone's pain IS NOT the same by a mile to know pain and suffering. In other words:
Spinal Trap is not just theory-based speculation;
it is insightful reality that offers successful solutions that
have been safer, faster, and easier than any of my Western
medicine drugs, invasive surgery, pain management
procedures, physical therapy, etc.
And one of the many (frustrating) things I've learned
throughout these painful years is how people who have
never suffered more than a broken bone that healed well
and quickly, or a toothache for a week or two, are of
absolutely no true help because they can't know
what they don't know! But they can and will make unhelpful
suggestions and offer unfeasible advice...
Unless and until they suffer a devastating and
debilitating health crisis, they cannot give you the
necessary support so critical to your suffering,
but I pray that I do through STB2G.
My Spinal Diagnoses:
Myelomalacia - Spinal cord damage in cervical (neck) spine.
Central Canal Stenosis - Per The Laser Spine Institute:
[Central canal stenosis is the narrowing of the central canal in the spine — the passageway in the spine that holds the spinal cord and nerve roots.
Central canal stenosis is a degenerative spine condition that commonly affects people over the age of 50 as the spine naturally weakens with time.
The most common symptoms of central canal stenosis include pain, muscle weakness, numbness and/or tingling in the spine and in the nearest extremity.]
7 Herniated Discs, five in my neck at levels C3-C7.
Three discs were cut out and replaced with sterilized cadaver bones and secured with titanium plate and screws; but two were left as is because in 2010 when I had my ACDF on C5-C7 (Anterior Cervical Discectomy Fusion) my neurosurgeon said the more spinal levels done, the lower the success rate. Thus, we left C3-4 alone.
Our spinal discs are fluid filled cushions that act as shock absorbers, located between each vertebra.
When the disc is injured, as in my case, it leaks out its fluid. A herniated disc in and of itself, may not produce pain until it or its leaked fluid exerts pressure on the spinal cord and/or on a nerve root.
I also had 2 bulging discs in my Lumbar spine (low back); and now all 5 lumbar discs are bulging, arthritic, and I have retrolisthesis.
Annular Tears - A byproduct of bulging/herniated discs due to injury or degeneration in which the outer layer of the disc rips open allowing the fluid inside the disc to leak out. This leads to pain because the disc no longer has the fluid that allowed it to act as "a shock absorber".
Protuding Discs - Protuding discs a.k.a. "bulging discs" are a preliminary stage of damage that can occur prior to herniation.
Once the spine is weakened, injuries to it are not only possible, but probable, especially if you make no effort to do safe for you exercises, physical therapy, and eat right to get/stay thin.
Thus, if you have protuding discs, you should do your utmost to learn wise body mechanics to prevent future herniation, pain, pills, surgery, and even, total disability.
Nerve Root Impingement - This is a form of spinal stenosis due to foraminal stenosis and a common condition secondary to herniated discs.
This can occur when a herniated disc puts pressure on the nerve root in the area that they exit the spine. This results in the symptoms that get diagnosed as Radiculopathy, which is its own special brand of pain hell.
Radiculopathy - Painful nerve damage from the cervical spine (neck) that causes pain, numbness and tingling as far as the fingertips; and when it is from the damage in the lumbar (low back) spine, per Johns Hopkins, lumbar radiculopathy is also known as "sciatica"; and causes numbness and pain as far down as my feet and toes.
It has caused me such weakness in my hands, that at its worst, I have not had the manual dexterity to grasp anything, (a pen, water bottle, etc.), tie my shoes, open a water or prescription bottle, button/unbutton shirts/blouses, hook or unhook bras, brush my teeth well, etc...
Advanced Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD)
I am NOW 2" SHORTER than I was prior to my disabling injuries.
I was 5'9" my entire adult life. I lost 1" from my spinal surgery, and another full inch as a result of advanced degenerative disease process.
You do not have to sustain an injury to get DDD.
It can occur with normal aging so please don't think that as long as you don't sustain disabling injuries, that you won't get it, especially if you abuse your body with smoking, alcohol, and/or drugs since these unhealthy quality of life stealing habits deplete your body of vital nutrients necessary for your best health.
Severe Arthritis - Normally this is an age related condition that occurs in much older people; but is often the result of extensive and severe damage. I was diagnosed with severe spinal arthritis by age 41 due to my spinal/shoulder injuries.
Spondylosis of the Cervical & Lumbar Spines - Spondylosis is an umbrella term used to refer to many different types of degenerative conditions and can indicate both pain and spinal degeneration.
Laser Spine Institute does a very nice job explaining it: https://www.laserspineinstitute.com/back_problems/spondylosis/
Cervical Spine Kyphosis a.k.a. "Reversal of the Normal Cervical Lordosis" meaning that your neck now curves the exact opposite directions that it should.
Per my Cervical Myelogram w/CT Scan results "This is associated with ventral cord deformity at more than one level of the cervical spine."
Straightening of the Cervical Spine - It's supposed to be curved. Many years after my injuries, my kyphosis diagnosis changed to this.
Osteophytes (Bone Spurs) - These exist at all levels of my lumbar spine, L1-L5/S1 and though my neurosurgeon drilled off the ones in my neck during my spinal surgery, he informed me that they can grow back.
Also, their presence does not always cause pain; it depends on their location as to whether or not they may be contributing to your pain.
My Shoulder Damage Diagnoses:
Brachial Neuritis - Per John Hopkins Medicine Health Library:
What is brachial neuritis?
Brachial neuritis is a form of peripheral neuropathy that affects the nerves going to the chest, shoulder, arm, and hand. To learn more, click their link:

My Other Diagnoses due to Chronic Pain:
Clinical Depression
Clinical Anxiety
Insomnia
Obesity
Would you play Russian Roulette?
Probably not, yet that is exactly what you are doing when you take 2 and 3 multiple mood and mind-altering Rx's daily for chronic pain and its very common byproducts.
Would law firms spend the hundreds of thousands of dollars on TV and radio commercials that they do, for suing pharmaceutical companies, if there weren't multi-million dollar settlements to be had?
As Judge Judy would say, "Ahhhh no"!
Prescription Drug Russian Roulette
Your ultimate goal for pain management and all health challenges should be to never start on the Western Medicine merry go round from hell of prescription pills, whose side effects are often as depleting to your quality of life as the very issues for which they were prescribed!
But as I learned the hard way, when you are in excruciating pain and desperate for any relief, you will take whatever the doctor tells you to take. Don't learn the hard way! Seek and obey God!
If you are already on any or many Rx's for the numerous pain causing conditions that I've been and in some cases, still am, your goal should be dual in switching to better quality Rx's that do not impact you with obvious side effects*, while still reducing and eliminating the use of them; because staying on multiple mood and mind-altering Rx's for life is exactly like playing Russian Roulette, just as you never know which chamber holds the bullet that will kill you, you also never know until it is too late, which Rx, and which time you take it, is the one that will cause you organ failure and even death.
*For example, I used to be on a betablocker called Metoprolol (generic Lopressor) for my Hypertension, (high blood pressure). It is LOUSY! But it is cheap and has been around since the 60's and is very commonly prescribed! When I was put on its max dose, it exacerbated my fatigue and depression so severely I could barely get out of bed; then I'd get a shower, put clean pj's on, and crawl back in!
I found Metoprolol absolutely awful and got switched to one called Bystolic that does not do to me what Metoprolol did.
To function at your best despite chronic pain, talk to your doctor(s) about what Rx's have the least known side effects for the countless prescription pills that detrimentally impact your daily quality of life.
Every body is different and I had to go through a lot of trial and error in some Rx cases; but this Rx change worked on the first try!
On this subject, ER pain meds, (extended release) were just as awful!
They'd make me so tired I'd lie down and be on the verge of sleep but never fall asleep. I stopped these worthless pain pills in 2014 and now will only take short-acting opioids. IMM REL (immediate release) works best for my body. Doctors know the human body better than we do, but we all know our bodies better than they do! SPEAK UP!
Spinal Trap's data will benefit those who endure debilitating pain from other conditions too such as (Rheumatoid) Arthritis, Knee & Hip Pain, etc...because regardless of where your pain is or its cause, at the root of all pain, is inflammation. In other words:
Control the inflammation,
control the pain!
Think about it, whether you have a painful tooth or a bad back, codeine is commonly prescribed for both because pain pills aren't designed by body parts.
Thus, all of the wonderful natural efforts that helped me get back 2 good naturally, are worthy for everyone in any pain to consider and try for their respective needs (as is safe for you and your specific health) since any time you can avoid, reduce or eliminate prescriptions, that in and of itself, is a huge health victory!
WHAT ELSE Spinal Trap: Back 2 Good Helps: It will also benefit people who suffer from anxiety/depression, insomnia and anger; all of which are as limiting and unhealthy as chronic pain and are often its common byproducts. Thus, if you are fed up with any of these conditions, (and you should be!), then this site is for you too!
If you are blessed to have good health,
you still likely at some point
have experienced excruciating pain.
An infected/extracted tooth, kidney stones, a bladder infection, cracked ribs and broken bones, a 20 hour labor, a broken nose, a hand slammed in your car door, etc...think about what you could not do while in that pain. Now:
Imagine living
with that pain,
and those
limitations,
24, 7, 365 for years.
You simply can't but that is reality
for hundreds of millions worldwide.
Given the stats on disabling injuries,(1 in 3 or 1 in 4 depending on source) it is likely that you have a spouse, friend, family member, or even a co-worker whose life has been altered by severe injury and chronic pain; which means that this site is for you too.
WHY share Spinal Trap: Back 2 Good with EVERYONE online and off?
A few reasons. First is that chronic pain decreases a person's energy, focus and attention span; all of which are already taking a severe hit from pain pills, muscle relaxers, nerve damage pills, sleeping pills, anti-anxiety meds, etc...ALL of which are COMMONLY and understandably, prescribed for chronic pain patients.
Secondly, do the math:
Pain
+
multiple mind and mood-altering Rx's
=
a person stripped of the ability
to think clearly and well,
no matter how important the subject or need.
Thirdly, when a person has extensive and multiple types of damage as I and countless others do, pain pills DO NOT even always take the edge off, let alone give full relief!
So now you have a person whose mental and emotional states are still being impacted by the mind and mood-altering side effects of opiates, muscle relaxants, etc...yet, they are still in severe pain.
Newsflash: Just because you do not reap the benefits of pain relief does not mean that you won't reap their side effects!
Pain pills can and do fail at times to
barely take the edge off of excruciating pain.
Thus, pain itself has the same negative impacts to a
person's focus, attention span, and energy levels.
If you have never endured anything like this,
then you have been very blessed to never be made
delirious by unfathomable, hard to manage,
debilitating, life-altering, chronic pain.
Please realize that this means even if they want to be proactive and find a beneficial resource like Spinal Trap, they simply don't have the energy.
I promise you, just getting the basic *ADL's of life handled like showers, laundry, meals and dishes, is exhausting when in severe chronic pain.
Add work, pets and/or kids to the equation and even when a person loves to read, it just won't happen.
(*ADL is used in medical records and means "activities of daily living".)
PLEASE take a minute
to make a lifetime of beneficial difference
and make as many people aware
that Spinal Trap: Back 2 Good
exists for them and their loved ones,
as you possibly can.
Additionally, chronic pain people are prone to being depressed, anxiety ridden, angry and negative; all of which is as unhealthy for you and others around them, as it is for them.
If you are exposed to that person regularly, I promise you this too, chances are far greater that they will bring you down, then that you will bring them up.
Not because they are happy being miserable; though there are far too many like that among us...It is far more likely due to the fact that just one of these medications will screw up your emotions immeasurably, let alone a combination of them, daily, for years. Been there!
A person simply can't enjoy
a balanced mental and emotional state
when on multiple
mood and mind-altering Rx's.
In medical terms, this is known as "emotional lability".
Until learning this term I called it was it is:
"A mental/emotional roller coaster ride from hell."
It's like a person claiming
that they can stay sober
despite drinking 15 beers;
it just isn't possible.
Although someone with a high tolerance
may appear in control, he/she is not.
HOW to Help: Please share STB2G with everyone through all of your social networks, online and off, because if they truly want to be as well as possible on every human level, then you can help them get back 2 good by introducing them to Spinal Trap: Back 2 Good!
Please read Spinal Trap's "Goals" page to realize what else you can do that will cost you nothing, to help those disabled by injury, chronic pain or other chronic life-altering health conditions.
WHERE: Spinal Trap: Back 2 Good is for the entire world because physical and spiritual pain and their byproducts are universal and their domino effects are as rippling as tossing a pebble in a pond.
Spinal Trap: Back 2 Good shares my 15 years of expert advice based upon my actual countless experiences (not just theory) to encourage and empower others to realize that your best health decisions and results rest as much on you, as it does your doctors' advice.
After all, at the end of the day,
they get to go home and get away from you and your pain.
But you? You are stuck with you!
Thus, YOU have the most to gain by reading Spinal Trap: Back 2 Good and learning how to speak up, participate, question, and at times, refuse to allow anyone to do services on you that your instincts scream no about.
Remember, You Only Get 1 Spine.
Pick the wrong doc, procedure, or both and you could spend your life on it. Though there are many paralyzed people who are accepting and gracious about their conditions; but I promise you, it was never in anyone's plans.
Why have a major procedure or any procedure, if you can feel your best naturally?
With the constant advances in Western medicine, even delaying a procedure by a year, two or ten, thanks to what you learn on Spinal Trap Back 2 Good, may result in a far more successful surgery result down the road.
Some people die from anesthesia so what good is a procedure if that happens?
Or a post-op infection that leads to sepsis and death?
Or a post-op embolism that leads to death?
I am not trying to scare anyone; I am however, trying to make you think.
Surgeries have their place; but what I have come to realize is that unless it is an emergency situation, their place should not necessarily be first, second, third or even fourth.
Whenever feasible, please, exhaust all fair and reasonable conservative measures first.
Ditto getting on and staying on multiple pain Rx's.
Desperate people do dumb things.
Don't ever make a life changing decision out of desperation; make it out of an informed opinion.
People in severe, chronic pain are desperate for relief and will try anything to get it.
Hence, yet again, bringing me back to why you should go herbal whenever possible to regain your best state of mind, so that if and when you do choose a surgeon and procedure, it is not in some pain filled, pain pill haze.
ATTENTION ALL PAIN TREATING
PROVIDERS AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS:
Regardless of if you are a surgeon, doctor, nurse,
herbalist, pharmacist, naturopath, nutritionist,
physical therapist, massage therapist, care-giver,
medical supply business owner, acupuncturist,
mental health counselor,
minister, life coach, and/or any professional
whose work involves managing people's pain and/or
helping them to discover how to truly heal spiritually
so that they may live their best life, this site is beneficial for
you too because unless you've endured debilitating
life-limiting pain for years and all that goes with,
what you think you know about your patients, clients,
or customers lives and challenges
from chronic pain, is a drop in the bucket,
compared to what their lives are truly like,
because, again,
seeing someone suffer
is not the same by a mile as being the one to suffer.
This point bears serious thinking,
(hence my repeating it)
by all who live with chronic pain
and those who treat it,
because at the end of the day,
providers and others can get away from
chronic pain patients, clients, and customers,
but they can't get away from themselves or their pain.
Pain Proofing Your Patients, Clients & Customers Lives:
If you are a doctor not already doing everything in your power to actually improve their quality of life vs. just masking symptoms with numerous prescription drugs whose side effects, both short term and long term, can and will cause worse health issues than the ones for which they were prescribed, such as organ failure and death, then I promise that this site will educate you too in numerous ways that will benefit your pain patients, clients and/or customers, because
TRUE HEALING
does not come in risky prescription drugs
and never will!
IF YOU TRULY WANT TO BE A HEALTH PROVIDER, YOU MUST TAKE A HOLISTIC APPROACH AND USE Rx's IN COMBINATION WITH SAFE, NATURAL OPTIONS THAT HELP TO REDUCE THE NEED FOR THEM.
Relief doesn't even always come from Rx's so why would anyone ever expect them to contribute to true healing??
The opioid epidemic in the United States is
all the more reason to share STB2G!
IF EVERYONE WHO LIVES WITH REAL CHRONIC PAIN FOLLOWED MY HERBS, VITAMIN, AND SUPPLEMENT ROUTINE AS IS SAFE FOR THEM AND THEIR SPECIFIC HEALTH STATUS, THERE WOULD BE NO MORE PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSE OR DEATHS, BOTH ACCIDENTAL AND INTENTIONAL!!!!!
In what is 15 years of living with severe chronic pain due to injuries, I have never once gotten addicted to any of my prescription drugs!
Spinal Trap shares every challenge, big and small, of daily living with severe chronic pain, as well as offers beneficial tips for "pain proofing" your life to increase your quality of your life!
Read it all and you will have a new found respect and appreciation for those whose quality of life counts on your true understanding from a reality perspective, not just imagined theory, to help exponentially improve their quality of life.
Please show you care and share
Spinal Trap: Back 2 Good!
Anxiety & Depression: THEY GO HAND IN HAND, got one, got both.
Remember, many people suffer depression and anxiety privately, because of stigmas and shame; I know, I used to be one of them.
Thus, you never truly know who and how many, you will be helping!
If you live with anxiety/depression whether due to pain or not, please start with my HERBS page to learn which got me back 2 good and get yourself back 2 good!
WHEN is Spinal Trap: Back 2 Good going to help me?
As soon as you are ready to live your best quality of life, despite the multiple challenging chronic health conditions that I share about.
Spinal Trap: Back 2 Good is here for you, ready and waiting to provide you with its myriad of beneficial data that Holy God used to get me back 2 good in ways that are safe, simple, LOW COST, and most importantly, fast-acting and EFFECTIVE!!!
Please note: You will find critically important data repeated throughout Spinal Trap, but no two pages are exactly alike. Please don't dismiss a second page that mentions a topic you see on other pages, because there is always different and/or additional vital information.
WHY was Spinal Trap: Back 2 Good created?
I created this concept when I finally realized that God didn't let me suffer, endure, persevere, learn and conquer all that I have thanks to Him, to keep it to myself; especially when all that I have overcome ails more people worldwide than Facebook has users! Do you want to conquer your pain? Keep reading!
In Western Medicine, I've Undergone:
Invasive spinal surgery with fusion - ACDF C5-C7
12 out-pt pain management procedures
No less than 144 (painful) physical therapy sessions
At one point, I had 2 different pain pills, an anti-nausea pill, an anti-inflammatory, a muscle relaxer, an Rx prescribed for spinal cord trauma, (it's called Baclofen and is commonly prescribed for Multiple Sclerosis as well), a nerve damage Rx, a sleeping pill, an anti-depressant and probably the most recognized (and abused!) anti-anxiety medication, Xanax.
Talk about the Western Medicine Merry Go Round of prescriptions drug hell for pain management! You read my numerous diagnoses above.
Just 1 of my diagnoses can cause excruciating pain, let alone all of them; hence the 10 different prescription drugs to try and address all of my pain that did more to numb my brain than my pain!
Thus, although numerous Rx's were warranted, I can easily now in hindsight see how both docs and patients automatically start this process and stay caught up in it.
Here's how it happens:
You start out with lowest dose of a med, and when taken regularly, you quickly build a tolerance, then you go up to the next dose and so on.
Eventually, you have to switch to a different pain pill to get your body to respond because you maxed out the dose and your body's tolerance makes it ineffective. (This happened to me with opioids, Xanax, and even my anti-inflammatory.)
It is a vicious, self-defeating, life-depleting cycle that I am blessed to no longer do thanks to listening to Almighty God to go herbal because doing so allowed me to go back to the lowest dose of my meds and stay there!
Again, these Rx's have their place in a chronic pain person's life (or for other chronic conditions), but I am living proof (or for you clinicians "empirical evidence"), that they do not need to be taken daily around the clock for life even when your damage, diagnoses, and pain challenges are as numerous and severe as mine, IF you get on the same routine of herbs, minerals and supplements that I have, and are as immeasurably blessed.
Speaking of blessings, all physical WELLNESS
must first start in your spirit.
If you are mad at God, you don't believe in Him
and His Holy Trinity, or you are just lazy in faith and prayer,
you can still find some success
with the herbs and supplements
of which I speak;
but you will never enjoy your fullest healing and true peace.
All physical healing comes only from God
and He requires that you be spiritually well
before all else.
Reading the Bible taught me that a
physically weak body is actually not our
biggest problem,
a spiritually weak mind is.
Any mind riddled 24/7/365 with pain and 10 prescription drugs,
(most of which cause emotional lability),
is always going to be spiritually weak.
Thus, again, please get well with God and heal
spiritually by reading His whole Holy Word
because spirit wellness is the foundation
for all other healing!
I finally read the Bible in 2015 and it was so transforming
that I was inspired by God to write a book about it
to inspire and motivate others to read it and be healed.
It is called:
"God & The Many Things in The Bible That Surprised Me"
Buy a copy and let your life be transformed on the inside, where it matters the most and benefits our eternal souls!
Alternative Medicine:
I have also done dozens and dozens of acupuncture treatments and a couple of dozen massage therapy sessions. Both are excellent and effective all natural pain management modalities when applied by competent licensed and/or certified professionals.
With my numerous areas of severe damage, a big problem is finding professionals with the skill to work on me without creating a worse pain flare up.
An equal problem for most is affording them since health insurers have yet to open their minds to these vastly less expensive, safer alternative healing options.
Though they are far less expensive than insurance premiums, deductibles, and surgeries, this fact still has not made them available as a covered pain treatment modality as they should be for people whose CT scans with Myelograms, MRI's, etc. PROVE beyond the shadow of a doubt that our pain complaints are not in our heads!
Self-Help: The great news is that you don't need a lot of money or even health insurance to afford most of what I speak of on STB2G!
God blessed me with eliminating 3 of my prescription drugs entirely and vastly reducing usage of the other 7!
Due to the degrading nature of the multiple disease processes in my spine, I still live with severe chronic pain and its all encompassing limitations in my daily life; but I am better managed on a day to day basis with herbs, vitamins and minerals vs. around the clock quality of life damning prescription drugs.
Taking Rx's as the exception and not the rule and eliminating some entirely, allows me the best mind, spirit and body connection I have had.
If you've not had your life controlled by such circumstances you can't truly appreciate the weight of that IMMEASURABLE & VICTORIOUS HEALTH FACT.
If you are still having your life controlled by injury/pain, and/or anxiety/depression, please realize that blessing can happen for you too.
The question is not, "Is it possible" or "Does it work?", it is "Do I want to be healed and feel my best?"
As a Certified Holistic Life Coach, I assure you that being healed and feeling your best go hand in hand; they are inextricably linked. You can't be one without the other.
Again, I read the bible in 2015 for the first time and it confirms that physical and spiritual health go hand in hand.
God took the worst thing that has ever happened to my physical health and turning it into STB2G so that I may help others not live lives of deep despair as I did for the first 6 years of pain hell. Thus, I nodded my head knowingly as I read these verses:
Romans 5:3-5 – “We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us—they help us learn to endure. 4And endurance develops strength of character in us, and character strengthens our confident expectation of salvation. 5And this expectation will not disappoint us. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.”
Trials teach you to learn how to be the person God brought you into the world to be so that you can change the world to make a positive, healthy difference in the lives of others; and by doing so, you will live your best life, as confirmed in this verse:
1 Peter 5:10 – “In his kindness God called you to his eternal glory by means of Jesus Christ. After you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation.”
Quoted from my Tyndale NLT version Life Application Study Bible
Listen people, I don't have all of the answers, nor do I claim to.
I'm not even among the Bible scholar geniuses whom God blessed with the wisdom to write the life applications that made all the difference to helping me finally know the Lord!
I simply care enough to share ALL that I learned in over 15 of the longest years of my life from living with life-altering pain and its countless byproducts; along with the fact that I am no longer in deep despair, because when I finally read the whole Bible, I stopped asking "Why God why?" and refocused my energy on being grateful, healthy and well!
Something that will never happen for anyone taking multiple mood and mind altering drugs.
I was however, like a billion others still are: someone with nothing left to lose and everything to gain by getting my life back 2 good, naturally!
Let STB2G help you, your patients, clients, customers, staff, friends and family, church members, non-profit clients, and anyone else desiring living their best life, get back 2 good too!
I am a dually Certified Professional and Holistic Life Coach.
Be Grateful, Be Well
