A person who has kidney problems usually does not drink enough water, or drinks hard water. Gas or constipation in the bowel can cause backaches through pressure. The bowels should always be kept open. The Lower Bowel Formula, Fen LB , when used in conjunction with the three-day cleanses and the mucusless diet can accomplish this. Dr. Bernard Jensen feels that many cases of back pain result from abnormal positions of abdominal organs.
Prolapsed colon can place pressure on the lower back.
The slant board routine described in our little booklet, Dr. Christopher's Three Day Cleanse and Mucusless Diet can take some of the pressure from gravity off the spine. The slant board alone or a more extreme form of anti-gravity therapy, boots which hang from the ceiling, are often used by those who wish to take years of pressure off the spine. We treated a lady once who had such a disease. One of her vertebrae was degenerated and the doctors had given up on healing her. The bone had holes eaten through.
