Most back pains are caused by over worked muscles which contract suddenly (spasm), turning hard and knotty. This constricts the blood vessels that bring oxygen to the muscles and carry waste from them. Muscle cells start dying. You feel pain. that pain is your body crying HELP! BONG ME! HEADACHES: Nine out of ten headaches are caused by tight neck muscles. BONG the neck gently on both sides of the spine for 30 to 60 seconds and watch headaches disappear! CELLULITE: Doctors say there’s no such thing. Ask any woman over 30 and she’ll tell you different!
