But, but, but…when that doctor injects a baby with 4 different needles containing 12 different diseases ALL ON THE SAME "well-baby" visit it isn't for money its because toxic, brain-damaging injections are GOOD for children! Wake-up America pharmaceutical companies push vaccines because the "side effects" make them lots of money! Opioids are pushed not because they care about pain (there are better ways to treat and prevent it) but because addicts are PROFITABLE to pharma.
Well, then…I will be glad to 100% ignore this person. Veterans I will pay attention to.
Yes! There are better ways to treat pain. You mentioned "non-steroidal" anti-inflammatory drugs. Dealing with inflammation is key. I've successfully used turmeric (needs to be used with black pepper for absorption) for arthritic-type joint stiffness. Opioids zing you because they don't address the underlying inflammation but dull the sensation. If your pain is related to auto-immunity addressing the inflammation with diet is important. My two favorite sources for information on this approach are "The Wahl's Protocol" and Sarah Balantyne's "The Paleo Approach". Both take some work, but the results are astounding. I met Dr. Wahls and she got out of a wheel chair to return to nearly full activity.
