This came from Prevention Magazine...
 I suffered for nine months with severe back pains.  I had x-rays, which indicated deteriorated back disks.  My doctor said disks can be fused, but he would not recommend such an operation.  I would have to learn to live with the pain.  He did prescribe some pain pills which made me feel better, but drowsy.  After one week, I advised my doctor that I was not going to take any pills.  I would rather live with miserable pain than become a dope addict
 
I could not walk one city block without severe back pain.  I could not drive a car more than 50 miles.  I had to use a cane for support.

Friends handed me a number of issues of Prevention. I found a “Mailbag” letter from a woman who suffered back pain and took 3,000 to 4,000 milligrams of vitamin C a day.  It solved her back problem.  I did the same, and within three days my back pain was gone.

Thanks to Judy for passing on this testimony. Why would vitamin C help back pain?  Because it is one of the essential ingredients in rebuilding collagen.  When re-building our cells---Collagen acts like mortar does when you build a brick wall. Would a wall be very strong without the mortar.  No way, you would just have one brick pushing on top of another with no support. 

Vitamin C is water soluble and not stored in the body.  You must get it everyday.  Therapeutic levels of supplementation is essential for helping back problems.  You should start with the Shaklee Basics  Protein and the Basic strips to cover the essential nutrient requirements.  Consider filling out a Wellness Profile questionnaire to see if you have other issues of deficiency or toxicity.
