Back pain is 4th biggest global cause of disability: ages 50-69
Back Pain relief experience - Henry Lahore, admin of Vitamin D Life, Dec 2014
The following combination worked great - pain for only 3 days instead of typical 10 days
Pain went from 8 ==> 3 on this visual scale
Back pain relief probably due to one or more of the following
1) Vitamin D - 50,000 IU - sublingual to get it to blood stream in a few hours instead of 12-20 hours
2) Magnesium Chloride - both topical twice a day and internal - I used 1 teaspoon (160 ml) every two hours, total ~ 800 mg/day
Previously had been taking about 50 mg/day ( realized after)
note: horses get 1600 mg/day Mg continuously in their feed- Magnesium For Chronic Low Back Pain Dr. Murray
Increased cellular Mg level by 11% - back pain went away in 4 weeks - and was still low at 6 months - Magnesium for Pain Relief 2010
Discusses medical study of Mg increasing brain chemical called “NMDA.” which reduced pain
study suggests that magnesium deficiency can be a major amplifier of pain - Ending Back Pain with the help of Magnesium Jigsaw health
If there is too much calcium in your body – or not enough magnesium to balance out the calcium – your muscles cannot relax.
These contracted muscles - or spasms or knots – are one of the major sources of back pain
The company has a slow release form of Magnesium (which should result in fewer gut problems) - See also Vitamin D Life Overview Magnesium and vitamin D
- RCT of Mg injection for lower back pain March 2013 PDF at bottom
Visual pain score 7.5 ==> 4.2 - intracellular magnesium increased by 11% Study 2001

PDF at bottom conflicting evidence
3) Vitamin C - 500 mg each hour
- Recommended to me along with Magnesium.
Dr. correctly assumed (from previous communications) that I already had a high level of vitamin D
4) Omega-3
5) Back movement exercises while lying on the floor (Feldenkrais)Update March 2016 - no back pain for more than 1 year
- Vitamin D
- Magnesium Chloride - internal
- Feldenkrais weekly as a prevention
- Twisting exercise for 5 minutes at first sign of lower back pain
- Also Omega-3 and Vitamin K - which may help
UK review of Back Pain - asking for comments March 2016
- The words Omega-3 and Magnesium do not exist in the PDF
- "Studies have linked low vitamin D levels to back pain, but the evidence of causation not clear."
- There have been no random controlled clinical trials for Back Pain and vitamin D so the UK was not interested
Note: 13 years before this study it was found that 95% of back pain was reduced with vitamin D - not an RCT
