Day 145-Walking for Back Pain is Safer

You may have heard or read about the 7 deaths from the spinal meningitis outbreak in the Southern U.S., and that there are about 75 people still hospitalized with the infection. 

This is a tragedy. Even worse, this is supposed to be caused by a fungus that was in steroid shots that people were being given for back pain. 

They estimate that there are over 17,000 infected vials out there in the U.S.
States where steroid has been sent.







This is not good stuff. It shows that our reliance on pharmaceuticals comes with many dangers. There is a saying about this:

"The person who takes medicine must recover twice. Once from the disease, and once from the medicine."

The meningitis outbreak is taking that to the extreme, and maybe for good reason. Maybe it can be a wake-up call. 

I suffered from chronic back pain for years. 13 years, actually. I was able to stop the pain by stopping the cause. 

One of my therapies to keep me pain free is walking and staying in alignment. 

If you suffer from any pain, consider taking a different, proactive approach. Maybe I can help you. It's safer. 

Stay well, 
Dani
