We are a nation in pain. We need relief and we want it now. But there’s a way to solve most pain – a way with no side effects – that’s right in front of us.
We are a nation in pain. We need relief and we want it now. This collective way of thinking has landed us in a social and economic opioid crisis of massive proportions. We are now facing a public health emergency. We need a different approach; we need a better type of cure.
