All the different problems that are linked to low back pain are unbelievably expensive for many Western countries. If you include people who have only had one single situation in their life with back pain, then you could declare close to 100% of people have experienced some low back pain. The cost to overall business is astronomical mainly because low back injuries are the principal reason for absence and disability payments. In the US, only the well-known headache ranks greater for problems linked to the nervous system. The curious facet of low back pain is that it might be totally debilitating or very mild and passes in a short time.

If you are taking certain medications and eat grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice you may be a ticking time bomb. I read a true story that shocked and surprised me. I bet it will shock and surprise you too. Here is why this is so surprising. In this story, a retired gentleman spends his summers up north and winters in the south as many do. This is what natives call a snowbird in the east coast. Two months after coming to sunny Florida, this retiree dropped dead. Doctors believe the cause was a deadly interaction between the two to three glasses of fresh grapefruit juice he drank everyday and his medication that he took also. Drinking grapefruit juice and eating grapefruit can be deadly for people who take certain medications, according to a paper. In this particular case of the snowbird, the fatal interaction is believed to be between the grapefruit and Lipitor.
