Again with the cherries!!!

April 4, 2011

Hi all,

I posted this months ago and after reading the latest posts about back pain will

pass this on once more. Try eating fresh or dried tart cherries every day. It

can't hurt and, like me, it might be the miracle you've been looking for for

back pain relief.

I was going to give you my history, but realized you'd be reading all afternoon,

so the gist of it is: Back pain sufferer (bulging discs, degenerative disc

disease, arthritis L3-4-5 for 20+ yrs). Had XR, MRI's, neuro tests, etc. Had

treatment: epidurals, PT, Massage, Acupuncture, Chiropractic, drugs - all

without any lasting relief.

Last summer was a bumper crop of cherries at great prices so I ate them just

about every day. Along about October the supply ran out and I one day noticed

my back hurting again! I then connected the cherries and the fact that I really

hadn't had much back pain all summer,even much discomfort, as I'd had the 20+

years before. I thought there HAD to be a connection! I also remembered that

tart cherries were recommended for gout, and researched further online to

confirm it.

Being mid-October, I couldn't find fresh cherries at market so I bought dried

cherries at about $3.50 for a bag that last about a week - eating a dozen every

morning. Even the FIRST day back on them the back pain significantly decreased.

I continue this and have to tell you - I have almost NO pain or discomfort I use

to suffer on a daily basis. If I miss a day (rare) I again feel discomfort in

my back!

Today is first day I'm trying a cherry supplement I'd done some research on.

It's black cherry concentrate 250mg - I took two this morning instead of my 12

dried cherries and I'm still pain-free.

So that's my story - I know what y'all are going thru - there were times I was

at the end of my rope and so depressed due to the chronic back pain. I don't

know if they will indeed give you some or all relief, but I'd certainly urge you

to give them a try - so inexpensive and easy to do! I wish you well and

happy.....

Have a blessed day,

Jo
