Sep 10, 08 - 10:27 AM 		Degenerative Disc Desease

Hello everyone I am new to the programme. I have DDD with two herniated discs in my lumbar region. I have been trying to convince myself that i only have herniated discs but have finally accepted I have DDD too which scares the hell out of me. I am in pain naturally but i can control it with anti inflams and one or two high strength pain killers per day. I have been suffering for 13 months with no real help from the medics so this site and the programme are a blessing, at least i can understand how i got here! I am on my 3rd day of the programme so early days still. My question is does anyone else have DDD and have the exercises helped with pain reduction plus is there anything else i should try?

Hi Peter

First of all, everyone has degenerative disc's and it's not a desease

The process has just been accelerated in your lumbar disc's due to poor disc nutrition because of a dysfunction you have

My s1 disc is fairly dehydrated and yes the LTBP system is great

Look into an inversion table and the natural food supplement the LTBP guys sell as a replacement for the NSAIDs

Stick at it mate

There are three methods I know of that can help with DDD.

I know this because I have seen before and after x-rays:

1. Inversion tables

2. Disk Force Spinal Decompression

3. Pettibon System + wobble chairs

One important thing is that you must also correct some of the things that caused your disks to degenerate in the first instance:

1. Pressure on the disks

2. Inadequate water intake and nutrition

Suggest you start off with the LTBP system to help correct postural dysfunctions and muscular imbalances.

Increase your water intake and take MSM each day.

Go about one third of the way through this video and stop at the point where you see my x-ray on the computer screen.

Look how bad the very bottom disk is.

That was before any treatment.

Drop me an e-mail and I’ll send you the after x-ray.

Good Luck

How come you like MSM over HCL glucosamine and chondroitin ?

Wouldn't all three be the best ?

HEy weight training paul I am wondering if I could get your email?

Sep 12th, 2008 - 12:03 PM 		Re: Degenerative Disc Desease

Hi Paul

You can take all three, but the key for DDD is the MSM.

Inside the nucleus [ center ] of the disk, there are chemical compounds known as "proteoglycans".

These act like little sponges and absorb water in much greater volumes than their own size.

MSM has been found to help with this absorption process.

Thanks for your reply guys its great to have your suggestions. I went to the Hospital today for an epidural and now they say i have SI joint problem so didnt stick it to me. have to go back again to see the quack. Any suggestions re SI joints? I cant stand for long without a lot of pain but if i press hard on the right hand side of my sacrum i can ease it to walk. Looks abit funny tho people must think i am scratching my butt and god knows what they think whem i purse my lips with a silent ooooooouch ! Dont know why but my post of yesterday to say thanks didnt appear lets hope this one gets through.

Hi Dave

Thanks mate

I read chondroitin also attracts fluid into the proteoglycan molecules, probably not as much as MSM though from your saying, I've been using super flex 3, might add some more sperate MSM though

End of the day it's just a food supplement and there limits with what it can you

Hi Hazel

This should work:

Go to www.myfoxtampabay.com

Go to “Health”

You will see Dr. Joette Giovinco’s Health reports.

Where you see “Dr. Joette Giovinco is the the only reporter on Bay Area Television with … Click on “more”

You will see a bunch of health reports.

Click on 09-02 Accupressure

Hi Paul

Yes, all of these supplements have to used with a "pumping" method to get the fluid into the disks.

On their own, they don't have too much effect.
