"Have you got pain? Well if you have neck or back pain, we have a solution for you. Many times its cause by dehydration, poor nutrition, not enough exercise, and various other points. So if we can have your attention for just a little while we may have some helpful hints for you. Eight out of ten people will have neck or back pain at some point in their life. So, that is about eighty percent of the people, and sometimes it is eighty percent of the time. We found in the clinic that if our patients drink one half ounce to one ounce per pound of their body weight unless they are fluid restrictions, they will decrease their back pain by approximately fifty to seventy percent within a week. Great. Lets try some of those things. Also, supplements. We don't have all the nutrition in our food as we used to because we are farming the same soil and we are only putting back nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. But we need ninety elements and minerals and vitamins and amino acids and enzymes to build our cells back. So supplements are a very reasonable way to make our body repair itself. And everything in our body repairs itself."
