I just started doing the liver cleanses--just finished my 2nd one! I can tell you that it sure helped my asthma and allergies: I don't have to take anymore meds! Wahoo! I don't know about it helping your back but I can tell you what helped cure my back after 20 years of back trouble. It was the book, "Healing Back Pain" by Dr. John Sarno. I can do just about anything I want now and not worry about my back going out. It might help you. It's a different approach, he speaks of back pain having to do with repressed emotions. At first I dismissed it as "off the wall" but I read it because there was nothing left to do. And once the concept sunk in, it worked. Although I don't completely agree with the author in that he seems to say that all back pain is caused by that. I think that there is more to it than that. Nutrition, correct posture, stress, emotions, stretching and more all play a role in the health of your back. But he really changed my thinking about how to deal with stress and emotions differently.
