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

The 4 Health Victories of Bromelain
When I began my natural pain management path in early 2012, I was fortunate to learn about Bromelain.
Bromelain is an all natural digestive enzyme, found in fresh pineapple that potentiates (increases) the effects of what you take it with.
What that means is that when it is taken with a natural anti-inflammatory such as Turmeric, it allows the body to better absorb it and thus, yields better results for you!
To put it another way: peanut butter is good, chocolate is good, but together? They are awesome!
I know this to be true because when I bought a bottle of Turmeric that was double my normal dose (720mg vs. 300mg) but it didn't have Bromelain, it was NOT as effective as the lower dose of Turmeric was when I took it with Bromelain!
That speaks volumes about what a difference taking Bromelain means for maximizing the benefits of what you take it with to reduce (chronic) pain!
Though I had been off of Rx's as the rule for managing my pain since going herbal in early 2012, I have DDD (degenerative disc disease) and as a result of one degrading badly in September 2014, I dealt with breaktakingly excruciating pain for 8 solid months. (Even without movement.)
Thus, I had to resume taking my prescription anti-inflammatory Meloxicam 15mg (generic for brand name Mobic) and my pain pill Nucynta 50mg, (no generic) to assist in managing my pain. (You can read about them under my Rx pages.)
In my vast 11 years of pain patient experience, these two pills are the absolute best prescription combination for my Western pain management needs.
Though I wholeheartedly support natural endeavors first and foremost whenever possible, I am not anti-prescriptions or other Western medicine options, when necessary for a person to enjoy their best quality of life; because if I've learned anything about successful pain management, it is not just Western medicine or just holistic efforts, it is about everything reasonable that a person can do!
After taking multiple Rx's for over 6 years,
I had absolutely no quality of life,
thanks to their numerous, hideous,
systemic side effects.
Some of which, gave me new health issues.
Solving one health problem
only to develop six* others
is the antithesis of good health!
If your doctor hands you prescription after prescription, TRULY THINK about
getting off of this merry go round from hell that I spent 6 years on!
*Chronic constipation which led to IBS and bouts of Diverticulitis, Obesity,
Elevated Cholesterol, Pre-Diabetes and Cognitive Deficits.
The bottom line is that you, the chronic pain person, the depressed person, the anxiety ridden person, the insomniac, need to be comfortable with YOUR pain management plan so that you have the most peace of mind to enjoy your best quality of life. Peace of mind and multiple pain management Rx's DO NOT go hand in hand!
Please note that despite still needing pain Rx's, I still take my Turmeric and Bromelain supplement upon waking, and 12 hours later, AND with my pain pills, because:
at some point, it hit me
that if Bromelain allows
for better absorption
of Turmeric, then it would
have to follow that taking it
with my Rx's
would likely benefit
my pain relief goals.
IT DID!
Bromelain allows my pain pills to work faster, longer, and better!
Thus, I bought a Bromelain only supplement in 2,000 GDU (gelatin digesting units).
AGAIN, BROMELAIN NOTICEABLY INCREASED
THE POWER OF MY PAIN Rx's
TO HELP MANAGE MY PAIN
FAR MORE EFFECTIVELY!
WHAT A VICTORY!
Health Victory #1!
What this means is that PRIOR to going herbal, I used to have to take 3 pain pills a day as the rule during severe pain flare ups.
It's not that I still don't have that kind of severe pain; it is that thanks to the Bromelain allowing for MAXIMUM ABSORPTION I get longer lasting pain relieving benefits from each pain pill!
As a result, I'm able to get by on an average of 2 pain pills per day vs. the 3 it was for the first six years before going herbal!
Cutting down on
ANY medication,
let alone pain pills,
by 1/3,
IS A HUGE VICTORY PEOPLE!
That's also a 1/3 reduction in side effects and long term damage potential too!
Health Victory #2!
Plus, I have developed a high pain tolerance and I suck up a lot of pain in the name of preventing other inevitable health ills that occur from taking long term prescription drugs because even if I don't have obvious side effects while on them, that does not mean destruction to my systems is not occurring.
Since I take 400mg of Holy Basil upon waking, WITH a Turmeric & Bromelain (combination) supplement, I find myself still in good mental/emotional spirits despite this severe pain!
This was not the case
before I went herbal!
Having a positive mental
and emotional state
despite severe pain,
is also a huge victory
for chronic pain people!
Health Victory #3!
I recently learned that the mental/emotional roller coaster ride from hell that pain pills, muscle relaxers and anti-anxiety meds cause actually has a medical term for it.
It is "emotional lability".
I used to have chronic stomach upset thanks to being on anti-inflammatories daily for years.
It felt like someone took a cheese grater to it.
Bromelain also aided in my stomach being less sensitive from my anti-inflammatory!
Another huge victory!
Health Victory #4!
Last and far from least, when I was first put on Nucynta 50mg in 2011, I got a bottle of 90. I don't remember if it was after just one bottle or two, regardless, the 50mg were quickly no longer strong enough; and I had to be bumped up to the 75mg dose.
This is a common (and destructive) health situation
for chronic pain people as relates to our pain meds;
and one of the MANY reasons that I don't understand why
some people fear going herbal
when there is so much more to lose by staying on
ever increasing doses of pain pills.
Thanks to my herbs, despite being
on Nucynta 50mg again daily,
the quick tolerance building and dosage
increases, have not even been an issue!
This is yet ANOTHER HUGE VICTORY
for chronic pain people!
Health Victory #5!
If you want to live your best quality of life,
you need to safely and successfully
reduce and eliminate
every pain pill from your daily routine,
that you can.
(Talk to your dr. and pharmacist.)
I pray that this Spinal Trap page helps you get back 2 good too by enjoying these same multiple health victories!
Unless you have an allergy to pineapple, it is likely safe for you to try. However, it's always wise to double check with your dr. and/or pharmacist before starting a new supplement; especially if you are on prescriptions, to ensure that there are no contraindications.
If they aren't educated on the benefits of natural supplements, please keep calling a pharmacy until you find one who is.
You don't want to miss out on feeling your best simply because the professionals on your care team do not yet have the training or experience in this wonderful, low cost, fast-acting, effective and safe (for many), area of natural pain management.

Studies Schmudies
"There's no long term studies on herbs and the potential dangers are unknown."
Yes, that is true to a degree. The degree being that there are either no or little studies.
But the bigger truth is that herbs have been around for thousands of year and in use for both preventive health and post-condition issues by billions of people, which is undeniable empirical evidence.
Empirical evidence is a source of knowledge which is learned through observation and experience.
What prescription drug has that kind of time under its belt?
Ahhhh, NONE! Rx's have only been around for about 120 years!
Know what else is indisputably true?
THE KNOWN DANGERS OF BEING ON PAIN PILLS LONG TERM, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ADDICTION, ORGAN FAILURE, DISEASES, AND DEATH!
Thus, when these herbs have been around for thousands of years, taken by billions around the globe, don't you think we'd know by now if there was a reason not to take them???
Given what we do know about Rx's side effects and long term damage(s), how can you think trying herbs isn't prudent?
I am not saying that everyone can take everything I have and not have an issue.
I don't know that and I don't claim to.
(If I were omniscient, I'd have already won the lottery and my personal assistant would be typing this, not me...:)
Another truth:
Doctors do not know in advance who will have a serious to deadly problem with an Rx or they would not put that person on them!
By the time it is realized, it is often too late to reverse the damage or save a life.
If you are willing to roll those dice, why not ask your doc and pharmacist about the herbs discussed on Spinal Trap as regards your specific meds to see if you can safely try them?
If they don't know about herbs, find professionals who do.
Don't let your best quality of life be denied based upon a lack of knowledge that can easily be found somewhere if you care to make the effort.
I am sharing what has been multiple, immeasurable physical and spiritual health victories and blessings in getting myself back 2 good thanks to Almighty God's herbs; and I pray to inspire every reader to make prudent choices for themselves that result in a better quality of life that gets you, back 2 good in mind, body and spirit!
You can
make excuses
or you can
make progress;
but you can't
do both.
My quality of life had been non-existent for over 6 years and I was fed up.
I knew I had nothing left to lose and made up my mind to go herbal in January 2012.
It was the best thing I've done for my chronic pain, depression, anxiety, insomnia and overall health.
Please see my HERBS home page to learn how to set yourself up for success in going herbal.
Please make sure you do your own research to be confident that you are making smart, safe choices for you and your specific health status.
Mainly, pray to God for help and healing.
I did and He got me back 2 good and wants to do the same for you!
If you feel like you don't know how to pray or understand how much ONLY God can heal you, please read the God main and subpages on this site; for Holy God did not make any of us to be on multiple prescription pain pills around the clock for life.
Be Grateful, Be Well
