Today we are talking about the opioid crisis, the unfortunate effects on people who abuse them and the numbers strictly by the statistics provided by the NIH National Health Institute. We have to talk about how the country has been under the influence so to speak for decades and so much more.

Thanks for joining me today, I've mentioned it before and there has been numerous controversies since surrounding the opioid crisis, the unnamed entities that profited big are now coughing up money to settle but for fractions of the actual profit earned in 20 years. The problem is a public health nightmare, it has many faces while it tears a hole in our society much like many other dangerous substances has and continue to.

The numbers strictly by the data provided by the CDC and the NIH show in 2020 alone 90,000 people died from overdose how many relating to opioids are unknown. The numbers could be far greater and may soon be if we continue to deny reasonable alternatives such as Kratom. It may have saved millions of live in less than 10 years time.

So what can we really do for people that suffer now from an addiction that was unintended. The damage is done right what could we do better moving forward that we haven't tried already, this is a question that is difficult to answer and so I won't.

Understanding the problem goes beyond the scope of just opioids, the turth is our entire country has been taught and given the means to treat everything even when there's nothing wrong.

Theres 2 sides to this story and another 2 sides to that one, one happens to be the turth, yes there are a lot of people who have or continue to abuse opioids of some type, with that comes other drugs as well because it's not just opioids. Someone you know who uses opioids may also use something for depression, anxiety or stress. Who's to say those aren't being abused too correct?

The other side of the situation are people who really need the medication, it's not a joke and it's not addiction. I don't get how the solution to reducing opioid abuse is to cut everyone's script without actually looking at individual cases one at a time to determine what degree of change is appropriate.

The entire time period I'm talking about was the beginning of an era that started decades ago and is now coming to an end, people are waking up to new possibilities. It's true that we've lived in a bubble as we avoided any and all discomfort such as headaches with tylenol to treating even a minor stomache ache with something found at the local pharmacy or whatever else it may be.

Not all of it is bad but the idea itself is dangerous, we should be more thoughtful about how we perceive medicine and it's use in our lives.

Thanks for the ears, eyes and your time.
