Why are "PAIN RELEIVERS" bad for us?

Okay . . . so, we now know the "mechanics" and the "process" of the body . . . when it comes to experiencing "pain" from yesterday's Health post.

Now . . . In 2015 . . . the SAMHSA report stated that . . . 1/3 of our population used "prescription" pain relievers.

And as for "over-the-counter" (OTC) pain relievers . . . over 50% of adults take OTC pain relievers weekly or more often.

Then in 2020 . . . we started experiencing more "chronic pain" . . .

And in today's world . . . "Opioid" prescriptions for adults aged 18-64 are up to 12.7 million people.

And "OTC" pain relievers . . . are estimated at 29 million users of NSAIDs to treat day to day pain.

But, this number is just and estimation due to NO prescription being needed.

And sadly . . . NSAID use is linked to around 100,000 hospitalization and 17,000 deaths ANNUALLY in the United States.

However . . . I personally feel these numbers are VERY low due to the Pharmaceutical companies making . . .

$84.1 billion in 2024 on . . . prescription pain relievers

and $28.6 billion on . . . OTC pain relievers

And get this . . . they predict that by 2032 . . . OTC pain relievers sold will be up to $40. billion.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE PEOPLE???

IS IT BECAUSE . . . WE "DON'T" UNDERSTAND . . . WHAT THESE DRUGS ARE DOING TO US???

Are we a nation of "ignorance" due to a "hard sell" from advertising, the media and the professional medical industry???

What do you think the answer is???

Well . . . LISTEN UP PEOPLE!!!!

Simply put . . .

"PAIN RELEIVERS" (of any kind . . prescription or OTC) . . . ALTER the body's "ELECTRIAL SIGNALS" . . .

And this is done by either . . .

Preventing pain signals from starting in the first place . . . altering the body's NATRUAL function

Or "Blocking" the pain signaling process transmission to the brain.

And tomorrow . . . we'll continue to better understand
