Re: Chronic Neck Pain won't go away

Hi, is her water intake optimal?  If she's not deliberately drinking lots of water there's always the possibility that the discs between the vertebrae might be dehydrated, that together with an exercise of lying across in bed with the head hanging oveer a side and then slowly lifting the head and then lowering, then turning slowly from side to side, will help bring fluids to that region.

She's been drinking spring water. I encourage her to consume at least 8 glasses daily. Observing her, she probably intakes 5-6 tall glasses. From my research, some water types are supposedly absorbed better that other types. However, I haven't found any water to work better than another, yet. What do you think of Viktor Schauberger's water observations? Also, would MSM, Chondroitin, and Glucosamine potentially help?

Lying across the bed on stomach, back, or both while slowly lifting head and lowering?

If it's muscular tension taking magnesium or rubbing "magnesium oil" on the neck could bring almost immediate relief as mg. is needed to relax the muscles.  Calcium, silica, vit. D & K and even strontium could be needed if there were bone loss in the area.

I tried Magnesium Malate, didn't help her. Magnesium Citrate w/ 160 mg magnesium per dose seems to work in her case. She reports feeling much better neck-wise. Attempted to use Magnesium oil by itself, it leaves a residue that's uncomfortable. Any ideas to improve skin feeling of mag oil (really mag chloride in water) residue or improve absorption?

I've recently starter her on active-vitamins (including fat solubles) and chelated minerals created by organisms. It takes a while to replenish if there are deficiencies.

And lastly, anyone taking any medication should be taking extra Vit. C with each dosage to help detoxify these drugs.

Most of the meds are pain killers. Her liver probably requires support for these, especially the detox pathways. I'll ensure she's getting plenty of C though. Thanks Ways of Wisdom.
