There is something to be said for Amoebas: they don't
suffer from pinched spinal nerves. Right now I wish I were
an Amoebae.

====================
May 2, 2006, from Lloyd Erlick,
I have a slight lower back problem. Fortunately I suffer pain only very
rarely, and seemingly unpredictably. I could almost believe talking about
it is a jinx ...
Anyway, I found very significant help from a book by Leon Root. I forget
the title, something like My Aching Back. It's quite old, I think from the
seventies.
Root outlines a series of exercises and stretches that help the back resist
whatever it is that sets off the pain. The basic idea is that a well
muscled torso protects and supports the spine.
I followed Root's advice for years. Lately (well, for a decade...) I've
fallen into lardbelly shape. His exercises really help, and I should take
my own advice ...
regards,
--le
