Very few exercises/stretches, but I did only one for 10 seconds & got relief, myself having a pretty healthy back & suffered from an injury a few years ago. Curious what he had to say because his Water book changed me so profoundly! Bottom line---Still have to drink water! It's MOST important! Another one I will pass along to those who suffer from back pain.

Per chi si occupa di fisioterapia, o come me soffre di ernia del disco e ha lombalgie ricorrenti, un libro che spiega quali semplici esercizi e raccomandazioni seguire, per cominciare da subito a stare meglio. La disidratazione viene presentata come causa di molti mali.

My rating is going to need some explanation. I gave it four stars because I thought it had good information. I would give it only two or three stars if I was rating how interesting or intelligible a read it was. He wrote this book for the Laman, but I have a college degree and I thought it was rather technical.

There was however some very good information about why dehydration can cause back and arthritis pain. Conversely, there was good reasoning about how rehydrating your body can reduce or relieve pain entirely. Plus, water is free and good for you, so it can't hurt to try it. My friend who recommended this author has suffered from arthritis since her early twenties, at least 10 years, and she has found signigicant relief from properly hydrating her body.

There was also a good set of exercises for bad backs. Some exercises were to help with alignment and others to strengthen your core muscles. My back is not hurting particularly right now, but from my experience with back exercises, these exercises are sound and would be beneficial. I plan on performing them myself.

I am very interested to read this author's book, Water: For Health, for Healing, for Life: You're Not Sick, You're Thirsty!, to learn more about the benefits of your body being properly hydrated. Look at my review of that book if you want to know more particulars about the water cure.

I gave it 5 stars because i not only read it but used the information given to successfully get rid of my lower back pain which was taking toll on my day to day life. My utmost admiration for the Doc for writing such powerhouse of information books in such a simplified manner & helping people get free of the clutches of ever so greedy Doctors while effectively setting free from the clutches of the debilitating conditions of the readers without costing a single penny !

Excellent book. The back is explained and illustrated with pictures and exercises are recommended. It is one of the best (maybe THE best) book I have ever seen on the mechanics of back pain. I recommend it wholeheartedly to the world.

I read this book for the information regarding rheumatoid arthritis. The basic gist of the book for RA is drink 1.5-2 liters of water a day. I already do that with no results so I can not give this book a positive rating. it may be great for people with back pain.
