Back Pain: Causes and Cures

The Cause:
What causes back pain? Well that is a question for the ages, but we feel that we have moved one step closer to finding that answer. After reading "The History" under the "Amino Acids" section of our web site it was revealed that 9 out of 10 people are protien deficient. This deficiency is the cause for degeneration and infection through out the whole body. This condition may have been present for years before any injury has occured. Because of this weakened state, the body struggles against itself depriving cells of the nutients they need in order to protect and heal other areas of the body that might be fighting an infection or that is injured.

As the body is continually weakened it is more prone to injury. Now some injury is not avoidable as in a car accident, but if the body is getting the proper nutrients it needs the healing process occurs at a much increased state. Pain is lessened and reinjury is less likely to occur.

If a patient comes in after a car accident then it is safe to say that that pain is coming from some trauma sustained in the accident. But what if the extent of the injury is increased because of the bodies own weakened state. Then the diagnosis would be incorrect that the injury was sustained from the accident, when in fact the injury was sustained prior to the accident. The accident only aggrivated a preconditon. The need to look deeper, beyound the trauma, is necessary in order to understand the true cause of back pain.

So, understanding that the causes of back pain are mainly diskal degeneration from two sources:

1.  Nutritional deficiencies 

     Protein Digestion/utilization lack 
     Vitamin C Complex Deficiency 
     Iodine Deficiency 
     Sulfur Deficiency,needed in cartilage and its lack causes arthritis* spinal and joints 
   
2.  The resulting mechanical change in posture (i.e. trauma)
 
The Diagnosis:
Diagnosis, treatment, recovery is the common procedure for todays healing arts.
Most back pain diagnosis is similar to all other medial diagnostic procedures - conducted externally in an attempt see within. Take the three most common procedures for examining the spine and it's disks, the X-ray, the CAT scan and the MRI.

Then there are the more physical tests such as the orthopedic tests, neurologic tests, palpations, trigger point tests, Electric Myological tests for muscle and nerve conduction. These are standard and have value as do all of the other tests. The point is all of these test reach into the body to "see in" or to "pull out " (i.e. blood tests) for examination.

There has been in the Chiropractic profession developed means of testing the body from WITHIN! This is a non-invasive test by which the doctors are able to literally ask the body "what's wrong?" And the body answers! This is called Applied Kinesiology. The muscle is tested for strength. If strong, the body is then asked questions by means of meridian points. If the muscle weakens then the body has responded in the positive. Similar in concept to a checkup on your car. The dealer's computer inquires of your automobile's computer as to any low or outright malfunctions. Dealer can test for about a hundred things that might be going wrong. Doctors who are knowledgeable in these skills can test between four and five hundred points on the body! The only real difference is that the body is an organic computer far more powerful then a man made one.

Dr. Brice E. Vickery developed two non-invasive, diagnostic back pain tests. They are the BEV Tests and the Confirmatory Challenge Test ( CCT ) which consistently are better, safer, and virtually free when included in a routine examination. Compare that with $1500 for the MRI or the CAT Scan! ( Insurance dollars are YOUR dollars)

Using the BEV Tests for less obvious diskal lesions it becomes routine to find that besides the areas of complaint the entire spine is deteriorating. To see how the BEV Tests benefit both the doctor and the patient look at the side by side pictures of a lateral view of how the spine looks to doctors using the conventional methods and one using the BEV test. The spine with the single disk lesion is what can be discovered by a doctor using say, a CATscan. The one with the blackened disks all through the spine is what the advanced methods can detect! This has all been put on video for the training of doctors that would like to learn these methods. If your favorite doctor doesn't know about this he/she is very welcome to contact us for more information.

Routine Test Advanced (BEV) Test:
The Confirmatory Challenge Test was the first test developed and was the beginning of the amazing revelation that diskal degeneration was common THROUGHOUT THE SPINE. This test is used as the primary diagnosis in patients that cannot stand upright very long, have a positive CAT Scan diagnosis, or have very serious pain.

The Treatment:
When a doctor can with certainty diagnose a condition, he/she is halfway or more to the treatment - ordinarily. The advanced diagnostic methods of Dr. Brice E. Vickery conclude that back pain is a deficiency disease. Thus, treatment of the deficiencies begets treatment and eradication of the back pain.
Utilizing The Vickery Method, in the initial exam the patient's deficiencies are found and the appropriate nutritional regimen is prescribed. Normally, 9 out of 10 patients will require Essential Amino Acids as part of the regimen. Additionally, it is typical that the patient will also requires a special vitamin C Complex and an Iodine supplement which work in conjunction with the Amino Acid regimen.

The Prevention:
The prevention of Backpain is claimed by many types of disciplines and there is usually an element of truth and success for each of these. But none, repeat none has ever gotten it altogether into one provable method.

There is a lot to be said for constant exercise for so many of the body's systems are benefited by that it should be a constant throughout life. It becomes progressively more injurious if there are deficiencies present. Decade by decade the damage accumulates not only in the spine but the cardiovascular, and even the osseous structures are effected.

In the Connecticut Holistic Chiropractic Offices Dr. Brice E. Vickery demonstrated that the attaining of the individual's Straight Posture was a part of the final restoration of his patients to full health whether there original complaint was Backpain, Hypoglycemia, Fibromyalgia or Migraine headaches with or without TMJ. Dr. Vickery is listed in " Who's Who In Medicine and Healthcare " 1999-2000.

Some of the most necessary nutrients THAT ARE ABSOLUTELY required to heal the injured, degenerated spinal disks are also necessary to maintain a Straight Posture! It has previously been mentioned that there are two basic causes of the disk's breakdown: The nutrient deficiencies, and the mechanical compression of the disks unevenly. This is true also for the gliding joints of the vertabrae also. This is where the true prevention is practice.

Dr. Vickery in millions of obvservations concluded that the Category 1 Distortion is the basic distortion of the body ( as viewed from front to back ). This observation was originally made by Dr. Major DeJarnette, one of the bright lights in the healing arts. Dr. Vickery observes that the majority of the human race walks, lives, breathes with this distortion if not corrected. 

Category I Distortion:
Dr. Vickery with another first, lists 15 different reasons why this distortion returns and has determined a correction which is specific to each cause, yet mechanically similar in the appearance of the correction. The good news is that most of the causes are nutritional and that the re-occurrence of the Cat. 1 Distortion begins a hunt for the deficiency and it is eliminated. The first and most important is again protein, Cat. 1LP ( for protein ) The second is caused by Vitamin C complex deficiency : Cat1 L C etc. This is the foundation then not only for the prevention of Backpain but the new plane that is good health and PROVEN by maintaining correct posture. Not the other way around as some of the Chiropractors propose. They claim if they can straighten your spine mechanically that you will have good health. They haven't done it in a hundred years and without the necessary elements of nutrition and the neurological knowledge they won't do it in a million!

STEPS TO BACK PAIN PREVENTION!

Find a doctor who can determine nutritional deficiencies and maintain your Straight Posture (we can assist you in finding a doctor in your area).

Maintain your nutritional needs and you may be able to maintain your Straight Posture for years without ANY need for correction.

See your doctor Quarterly for checkups.

Stay on the nutrition regimen that healed you!!! Most people, when feeling good, start to cut down on their Amino Acids or vitamins and are surprised when symptoms return. Don't fall victim to this pattern.

Exercise! It is important to keep your muscles toned relevant to what your physical goals are!

Hypoglycemia is a condition of low blood sugar that is the forerunner of many of the degenerative and infectious diseases that plague our longer-living population. There are commonalties that begin with this condition and proceed like the branching of a tree into different named conditions such as lupus, bursitis, degenerative spinal disks, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, depression, arthritis, TMJ, interstitial cystitis, osteoporosis, hepatitis A,B,C, and cancer.

Without exception, these persons demonstrate protein first and sulfur second as their primary deficiencies. Very often there are secondary deficiencies that occurs primarily as the result of these because the body then has a lack of protein to complex as carriers to the cells. The result is a population that has finally been turned on to the necessity of proper nutrition and supplementation that is getting perhaps 40% of what they take and never, until now, had a chance to identify the primary cause which is a lack of protein digestion. Many attempts at solving this problem fail: taking protein powders, enzymes, algae, gelatin, amino acids singly or in the wrong proportions. Yet it is easy to treat at this stage.

Despite the available diagnosis of hypoglycemia many people do not get the protein that they need because blood tests do not tell the proper story.
