A good nights sleep is very helpful! :) Glad to see that you are active here and living life.
I will tell you just one thing that helps me, and this isn't homeopathic. Drink a lot of water. I have a problem in my back where one of my parts of my spine is spaced further apart than the others.
When I don't drink enough water during the day(key indicators are you have cotton mouth or your urine is very yellow) my back hurts and cramps up. When I drink enough water (urine is clear or partly yellow) my back has 95% less cramps or pain.
Water helps keep your spinal fluids to the levels it needs to be. Eating things with a lot of salt in it for me makes my back hurt, because the salt absorbs the water in your body. I don't take any calcium or anything else, just make sure to cut down on salt and drink more water. Also my left knee is a soccer injury, when I am dehydrated it starts to buckle and crack, when I have had a lot of water it has no issues.

Thanks... and I do! I love water, next to coffee it's my favorite drink. I never drink pop or anything like that. For me it's either water or coffee. I used to like fruit juice, but now I have diabetes so that's out.

At a young age I was exposed to the joys of drinking robust coffee no cream or sugar. Feels weird to even put any of that in later in life :) Good thing I don't like that crap, too much sugar/cream is terrible for our health. Almost everything sold at fast food is pure garbage, then cereal is too, lots of stuff in grocery store with the preservatives and 40% of your daily salt intake per serving. It is crazy how hard it is to eat like a normal human needs to.

Sounds like you've probably read this but if you haven't... Sugar Blues by William Dufty. It changed my life... Also after reading it I've come up with a theory- cancer is caused by processed foods. There's a concomitant relationship historically between the amount of processing of foods and the rising cancer rates. I believe they're connected.

They only buy from cooperative farms that grow organic coffee...NO wholesalers! Their prices are competitive (about the same as Gevalia) and their coffee is incredible. I used to live in Viroqua WI where they're located and have been to their facility. They bought an antique German roaster. My favorite of their coffees is from Guatemala.

I live in Viroqua and can attest to this fine locally roasted, fair sourced coffee. Check out their new cafe in Milwaukee
