This blog is about an idea to make the world a better place. Problems exist all around us. You can find suggested solutions on the web, but how many of them work, and does anyone gather information on the effectiveness of the solutions people suggest? Maybe there are cures for diseases and life's problem all around us, but we just do not know them or cannot prove they work.
So, I am recruiting an "army" of testers. People can propose a problem, say "Back Pain". People can scour the web for solutions...say exercises that are supposed to relieve the pain. Then you all can try them out and give me your honest opinion if they help or not. I will collect the data and run statistics on them to see if the proposed solution is helpful or not, and report the results. With everyone working a little on these proposed solutions, we all can benefit.
So lets start. How about "Back Pain"? Here is one web site with a few exercises that are supposed to help with back pain?

Do they work? If you have regular back pain, you can try them out, then report back to me with a number from 1-10. 1 means they do not help, and 10 means total relief. I will run this survey until I get enough data to make some kind of judgment.
Look for a survey here in a few weeks.
