    Some say Vitamin C and DMSO don't do anything...


    I know carburetor cleaner and OJ does a body good...



    Wait...


    Maybe that was oranges and contained solvents...



    Ummmm... I've used both of the aforementioned items... one in conjunction with vitamin E and K and the other with any sniffle...



    My ex-wife got better...


    I still get sniffles...


    Just saying...

    Sounds like a pulled muscle in your back.
    Assuming no spine injury, get a long hot bath and for you particularly ,a gorgeous female masseuse.
    Muscle relaxants may be the next step.

    It's all about options. You go to a Chevy dealer, he sells you Chevys. Don't expect him to mention Toyotas, except disparagingly. You want to know about a variety of cars, you'll have to go to a variety of sources. You want to know about medical treatment, it's the same deal.

    Jason: I was just browsing the catalog at IAS and noticed the following description of artemisinin: Artemisinin defeats malaria and other parasites According to their short blurb, artemisinin is effective against colon cancer. IAS is a high-end offshore pharmacy that can be trusted for their professionalism and honesty. Quite how they are able to offer their products would be an interesting study in itself.

    I googled "artemisinin cancer" and it came up with a long list you may want to research. One of the top references was the following: Artemisinin

    I hear ya, Rob. I was just giving you a hard time. I agree it's nice to know as much as you can about something rather than referring to just one source. :)

    I stuck with it for far too long. I was a depressed child. I started drinking hard liquor in my teens (having drunk and enjoyed beer since I was a baby because my alcoholic step-father gave it to me). I drank because I was depressed, but drinking made me more depressed. Once I realized that, I began trying to kick it. It took me several years of off-again, on-again drinking, but some time in my early 20's I finally kicked it for good.

    Most back pain is due to soft-tissue damage. I don't know if it's a pulled muscle, or something less severe. My massage therapist is not gorgeous, but she is very good. Unfortunately, she's married.

    The last couple of days my back has been slowly improving. I take one Aleve most days for my arthritis and a baby aspirin for my heart. But for the back I do a lot of stretching. That's always what seems to do me the most good. My new inversion table adds to the mix of stretches I can do.

    Rob, are you a homeopathic practitioner by profession?
