Spinal Trap:

Back 2 Good

Safe, natural,

fast-acting & effective solutions

for the relief of:

chronic pain,

anxiety, depression,

insomnia, muscle pain,

arthritis pain, 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 diagnoses.

Thanks to God, herbs & music meditation,

I got Back 2 Good naturally.

If you are alive without living thanks to

any or all of these 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

vitamins, herbs and supplements!

Be Grateful, Be Well

Phosphatidylserine

a.k.a. "PS"

I have two complaints that I lodged consistently to every doc

I've ever seen for pain management.

The one related to this page was:

"My pain pills do more to numb my brain than my pain!"

As if living with chronic pain and its numerous negative byproducts

that impact a human on every single level, doesn't wreak havoc enough...

I recently came across the article (link in lower right column) entitled:

"Chronic Back Pain Shrinks "Thinking Parts' of Brain"

by Northwestern University

(After almost 11 years of it, I'm guessing mine is

about the size of a squirrel's by now...)

It is disturbing to me because I know first hand of its veracity

due to my own cognitive challenges that I did not have

before years of living with chronic pain.

Which is why I consider what

Puritan's Pride brand Phosphatidylserine

did for me in just 5 days

all the more amazing!

I went from not being mentally clear, alert and awake

for the first 2-4 hours every day,

to being much more so within just 45 minutes!

I am not a neurologist (or any kind of clinician); thus, I can't explain

why this is the case,

I simply am sharing that it IS the case!

Thus, I defer to Cognitune.com to learn more about

this beneficial supplement:

https://www.cognitune.com/phosphatidylserine-benefits/

I have it on my Spinal Trap to do list to see one for

a brain scan and discuss this with him or her.

When I do, I shall update this page accordingly.

In the meantime, all I can say is if you are challenged

to feel mentally alert in the mornings thanks to chronic pain,

call your pharmacist and ask if there any contraindications for it based upon your Rx's and OTC usage.

If found to be safe for you to try, try the brand I take! (Pictured below)

For the record, I did take a PS supplement

WHEN STILL ON ALL of my mood and mind altering Rx's (10 total)

for pain, spinal cord damage, anxiety, depression, muscle damage,

nerve damage, insomnia, etc.

but it did not yield any results because my brain

was too controlled by the side effects of numerous prescription drugs.

Thus, if you still take multiple Rx's for pain, anxiety, depression and insomnia, daily or as the rule, you may not benefit from PS either.

(Read lower left column for more details and to learn about Dr. Tanzi.)

Hopefully though, you will find the same immeasurable pain relief from Turmeric and Bromelain that I have, which has allowed me to

make pain pills the rare exception and not the rule!

And since I discovered that Bromelain potentiates (increases) the benefits of my pain pills, I now take my Turmeric and Bromelain WITH my pain pills and when I am severely flared, 3 pain pills are often 2 pain pill days instead, because these herbs make that much of a difference!

Click this STB2G Bromelain (only) link for more info:

Hopefully, you will also find the same immeasurable relief from

depression and anxiety from Holy Basil Extract that I did

which has allowed me to discontinue Cymbalta completely

and rare ever need Xanax!

To learn more about Holy Basil Extract, click first link above.

Hopefully you will also find the same immeasurable relief from debilitating muscle pain and fibromyalgia that I did thanks to taking

Magnesium Malate; this allowed me to stop taking EVIL Flexeril and Zanaflex! (Cyclobenzaprine and Tizanidine respectively)

If this article, as well as everything

of which I speak of on Spinal Trap,

isn't enough to

motivate you to get yourself back 2 good,

then you really should seek

psychological counseling to learn

why you are afraid to live your best life and get past it;

because it is insane

to live with chronic pain and all that it reigns down

on a person's quality of life when there are so very many simple,

safe, highly effective, low-cost and successful efforts

that can vastly improve your day to day living!

Talk to your doctor(s) and pharmacist.

Let them know what you want to try and why.

Listen to what they have to say and keep this in mind:

Your best health will not only never come when on

multiple mood and mind-altering Rx's

but it can and will be made worse by

their long term side effects;

thus, you may have to choose to suck it up and suffer some pain

in the name of being as healthy as possible,

as naturally as possible.

I have and I do and it isn't always easy, but it is worth not contributing to a vastly increased potential of future

health ills such as organ failure and/or death.

Think about the litany of side effects that are speed talked through in every drug commercial and the litany of law firms seeking litigants by those harmed from pharmaceuticals!

Puritan's Pride sells Phosphatidylserine as well as many of the supplements that I have and am taking.

(I also patronize Swanson Vitamins, Pure Formulas, iHerb and Vitacost. Please see my review pages for my experiences with each of these companies as well as referral links to save $5-$10 off of your first order!)

Natural Detoxification with

Apple Cider Vinegar

If you take any prescription drugs, especially if they have mind-numbing,

mood-altering side effects,

such as pain pills, muscle relaxers, anti-anxiety meds, etc...

I can't tell you how much better I felt

after I cleansed with ACV!

Click this Spinal Trap link to learn how much weight I lost

in just 6 weeks from doing this!

That wasn't actually my original goal but it was a LOVELY bonus!

Isn't it funny how prescription drugs only bring nasty side effects but natural methods bring unexpected healthy ones?!

That's NOT coincidental people!

Puritan's Pride has THE BEST PRICES on it I've found!

Phosphatidylserine & Brain Health

In 2013, I came across Dr. Rudy Tanzi on TV. His show was called "Super Brain".

Knowing that years of chronic pain, its stress, and manyRx's had taken its toll on my brain, I was immediately interested in seeing what he had to say.

Dr. Tanzi's focus is to help people avoid developing Alzheimer's.

He advised a list of specific vitamins and supplements to take to develop what he calls a "Super Brain".

One is Fish Oil - check; already on it for years.

B vitamins - check; on a Super B complex since Spring of 2001 and discovered it was the cure for not enduring daily headaches and/or migraines anymore!

Click this STB2G link to learn more:

http://www.spinaltrapb2g.com/self-help_healing_modalities/b_energetic

Another is Alpha Lipoic Acid. I was on it before my spinal/shoulder injuries and discontinued it.

Thus, I ordered it and resumed taking daily, check.

Better yet, I discovered in my handy dandy "Pill Book Guide to Natural Medicines" (pictured on STB2G "Recommended Reading" page, link below) by Dr. Michael Murray that ALA is actually written as a prescription by doctors in Germany for NERVE PAIN.

Thus, since I have terrible nerve damage, I upped my dose and though it took 2 weeks of it daily to notice improvement, it did work! If you suffer neuropathy, click this link to learn more:

http://www.spinaltrapb2g.com/supplements_l-lysine__more/alpha_lipoic_acid_4_neuropathy

If you suffer sciatica nerve pain, click this link to learn what herb gives me more relief than Neurontin ever did! (It's why I call it "Neurotten"!)

http://www.spinaltrapb2g.com/sciatica_neuropathy_neuritis__neurontin

One was Phosphatidylserine. Yes, it's a mouthful, but don't let that intimidate you.

What is interesting to me is that several years ago, I ordered a phosphatidylserine product called "Neuro-PS" that was for this very purpose; but again as said above, I was on so many pain/related Rx's that I didn't notice any cognitive improvement whatsoever.

Thus, after taking what I bought, I discontinued use.

Fast forward to

March 2014.

I went herbal starting January 2012 and was off Rx's as the rule since then; thus, I ordered this product again, WOW!

What a tremendous and fast response!

The very same supplement, in the same 200mg dose that yielded absolutely no discernible cognitive improvements when on a myriad of prescription drugs, now made all the difference in the world, since these Rx's were now the exception in my body!

You see, even though I went herbal in early 2012, the six plus years of numerous Rx's had left behind many new health issues, including cognitive damage.

This was deeply concerning because at barely 46 years of age, I knew I was too young to be so old!

I did my best to get through each day and finally, I remembered Dr. Tanzi's show.

I couldn't remember the entire list, but I did recall the Phosphatidylserine and did my research online and in my two "health bibles" and decided to give it a try.

THANK GOD and I did! It was and continues to be amazing!

I woke up the 5th morning after starting it and was happily shocked (two words that don't usually go together but just fit this moment!) to find myself feeling alert just 45 minutes after waking!

That was a drastic improvement for which I was immensely grateful!

Cow Brains?!

When doing my research about Phosphatidylserine, I came across the note below on WebMD.

Needless to say, when I was done reading it, I shot my online supplement company an email asking them to please confirm that their product was soy based because even if mad cow disease hadn't come to be, I still wouldn't knowingly take a product made from cow brains.

Per WebMD:

[Phosphatidylserine is a chemical. The body can make phosphatidylserine, but gets most of what it needs from foods. Phosphatidylserine supplements were once made from cow brains, but now are commonly manufactured from cabbage or soy. The switch was triggered by a concern that products made from animal sources might cause infections such as mad cow disease.]
