has been on purpose. I think they want poor and middle class to become addicted so they can do whatever they want as people will be too busy dealing with their problems, facing jail, etc to care what politicians and big corporations/ industry are doing.
It may be that we have more pain now as our food, our air, our water is polluted and causing inflammation and other problems in our bodies. But it does seem that these new pain clinics want to give you narcotics and don't seem to want to get you off of them. I suffered from chronic pain back in the 80's. While my insurance would not cover treatments I wanted to try, it would cover drugs. However no doctor that I went to was willing to up my drugs to narcotics. That was being saved for a last resort.
Now, I know people who suffer from chronic pain and have asked their doctor to get them off of the narcotic with negative results. They ordered much more than the patients needed and was very reluctant to wean them off.
that is not right. I am wondering now it those doctors are just getting kickbacks for the scripts or if this is part of a bigger plan.
and yes, I am suspicious of everything.
