I had terrible back pain for two years. I thought I would never be able to do many things and was angry because I felt too young to be slowed down. I went to a top orthopedic surgeon and he told me I had degenerative disc disease. He said it would not get better and told me there was nothing I could do about it. Basicly said live with it. I am not putting down health professionals, but they are human and they don't know everything. I changed my exercise routine and began to pool walk in a warm water pool, went to a chiropractor that gave me some exercises. I did physical therapy. I took something from all these things and it helped, but not hugely.
In the midst of all this I began searching for non-toxic cleaners for my home, trying to do my bit for the environment. I found some I like and it lead me to Shaklee, a health and nutrition company. I decided to try some nutrition. I started taking better vitamins and alfalfa. My back began to get better. I upped my nutrition and added in protein and glucosamine. I got better. Soon I was back to my walking for exercise routine and could sit longer. In just a few months I went from daily pain to occasional pain that was not enough to stop me from doing anything. I do daily excercises the therapist taught me, stretches the chiropractor taught me and stick to my nutrition plan. I am 99% better. I now believe nutrition and exercise can accomplish amazing things. I am now an Independent Shaklee Distributor because of all this! Tell your husband not to give up!
