with gallstones, the body needs to adapt its posture to the increasing pressure that the gallbladder exerts
against the surrounding tissue and the spinal column. The result is spinal scoliosis, a common
phenomenon among both the young and the old. The right shoulder may drop and the left shoulder may
become raised. In some cases, even the left rib cage may begin to protrude. There may also be pain
between the shoulder blades and a strong, dull ache in the middle/upper back area while standing upright
for a while. The right shoulder and arm may become stiff. Frozen shoulder and tennis elbow are clear
indications that gallstones are present in the liver and gallbladder.
If gallstones get stuck in one of the major bile ducts, there is strong, sharp pain around the area of the
right shoulder, which may spread toward the entire back region. At that stage, due to spasmodic pain
attacks, breathing becomes increasingly difficult. All of this can produce permanent back problems. [I
personally suffered from most of these conditions (including a difficult spinal scoliosis) and over 40
gallbladder attacks, all of which disappeared completely after I cleansed my liver and gallbladder of a
total of 3,500 stones.]
Over 60 percent of Americans are estimated to have back problems. About the same percentage of
Americans are overweight, which basically means that their digestive systems are malfunctioning. If you
also suffer from back pain and consider having surgery, you ought to be aware of the fact that more than
two thirds of back pain sufferers who receive surgery for their condition end up with more pain than
before. Unless the chunks of toxic waste are removed from the colon, gallstones removed via cleansing
from the liver and gallbladder, and the kidney/ureters cleansed, the causes for back pain are likely to
continue or worsen. The symptoms linked with these obstructions are not limited to the back. The
congestion in these organs can also lead to a disruption in the flow of energy through the spinal nerves,
contributing to problems in the legs, such as poor circulation, numbness, pain, and varicose veins.
Another major cause of back problems is dehydration, caused by stimulating (diuretic) foods, such as
meat, coffee, tea, soft drinks, power drinks, alcohol, and by inadequate intake of fresh drinking water.
Imagine that the water stored in the core of the spinal column supports over 75 percent of the weight of
the upper body! Both restricted water supply and accumulated waste in the intestinal tract decrease the
volume of spinal water and deplete the water contained in the disk cartilage and surrounding back
muscles. Both may also lead to thinning of the intervertebral disks and, thereby, to muscle spasms. The
shortening of height among the elderly, which is so often attributed to “normal” aging, has actually
nothing to do with aging, but is due to simple dehydration because of the reasons outlined above.
Back problems remain serious and complex problems only for as long as the most basic needs of the
body are not met. Unless a back injury has occurred because of an accident, back problems can be
permanently resolved; and even among most injuries, there can be significant improvements. The
following are simple solutions to the most complex back problems:
- Give the body sufficient amounts of water to drink
- Remove accumulated waste materials from the intestinal tract
- Eliminate all gallstones from the liver and gallbladder
- Dissolve kidney stones (if not sure you have any, cleanse the kidneys anyway)
The following chapters provide you with detailed directions to that end. Successfully tackling the root
causes of chronic back pain can mean a new lease on life for millions of people.
