PATHOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS:

Great force, often producing degenerative changes, is frequently imposed upon intervertebral discs, especially between the fifth lumbar and sacrum. Disc material may extrude when surrounding ligaments are injured or weakened. If this occurs suddenly, we have acute low back syndrome. If it occurs slowly, the symptoms are those of chronic low back.

PHYSIOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS:

Such factors as size, location and duration of the lesion may modify manifestations of either acute or chronic syndrome. The amount of force suddenly or slowly intensifying contributes to the severity of the lesion. However, it's reasonable to assume that a totally healthy spine, with intervertebral discs that are like firm rubber cushions or cartilaginous pillows, would not suffer from strains of human existence even if severe, unless weakness or degeneration precedes stress. Nutritional deficiencies, especially protein deficiencies, vitamin C and vitamin E deficiencies, are the main predisposing factors of causation.br>

TREATMENT:

A diet particularly high in protein is essential in these cases. Organic, fresh, fertile eggs and essential amino acids, especially methionine, should be part of the daily menu. Extensive surgery has been avoided in many cases when 1,000 mgs of vitamin C and 400-800 units of vitamin E have been given daily with the high protein diet.
