Sciatic Relief

by Glenda H. - UPDATED 8/05/2010

I realized I had NO sciatica pain. The inflammation in my sciatic nerve was gone.

Nopalea is truly a miracle from the desert.

I have struggled with pain since about 1995. I had been in several automobile accidents when I was young. One of them almost cost me my life. So as I grew older, the aches and pains were at war in my body. I had difficulty climbing stairs, taking walks and even sleeping. I had so much discomfort I really wasn't motivated to do anything. They said the sciatic nerve, or pinched nerve, was causing all the pain and that I would need to see a Chiropractor the rest of my life. I had so many "12" Step plans that I knew what was next with each new Chiropractor I would go to. After "Step" 20 I knew I was on the same plan as the Doctor I had before. No one could help the pain. I am not against Chiropractors, I just couldn't find one that could help me find sciatic relief!

I have been going to Chiropractors since the age of 17 because of all the damage that had been in my body. At the age of 11 I had a horse accident where I was thrown off the horse with him going full speed toward a cliff in Utah. That threw my pelvic bone into a tilt so with that on top of the other accidents I was a bit of a mess.

As I grew older the pain became more acute and more difficult to deal with. Going to bed was a dread because of the tossing and turning and discomfort I had to go through just to get some sort of rest.

It was even difficult to go on trips because of the pain that would happen if I was in an airplane or car for very long. I got to the point that I had to do something besides getting adjustments so I tried acupuncture. I remember one time getting poked with 49 needles and wondering if it would ever end. After a few sessions of this agonizing pain, I made a decision I didn't want to go through it again and decided to stick with the pain. My nerves just couldn't handle the process.

Until 2009...

I was introduced to a delicious, magenta colored, all natural organic cactus juice from the Nopal Cactus. When I first began drinking the juice, I was taking it for another reason. Over the months of drinking this juice, my skin had taken on a better complexion (I think it looks younger), and the reason I started taking this juice, which was acid reflux, is gone.

But what was interesting... I suddenly realized I had NO Sciatica Pain. The inflammation in my sciatica nerve was gone. I hadn't even realized it!! I was pain free! I wasn't tossing and turning anymore! I was sleeping like a baby for the first time in many, many years. And the only thing I had done differently was the juice from the Nopal Cactus – Nopalea.

Nopalea is truly a miracle from the desert. My body needed the nutrients from this fruit that nothing else could do. I am so thankful for Nopalea. I will never go without it!! It is a beautiful gift from the Sonoran Desert to us. When God created the earth He said the plants were for our good. I can say it truly is for my good because it has helped my whole family on their wellness journey for optimal health.
