MDs will load you up on Meds. MDs did nothing for me.
A Chiro fixed my problems.


I'm very sorry to read that. I've had 14 surgeries in the
last 5-1/2 years. Without being loaded up on meds, I don't
think I could have taken the pain of half of them.

Most of the anti drug crusaders haven't experienced the 12 level of
pain on a scale of 1 to 10.

Ask anyone in the kidney stone club.


I have not had that luxury but I heard someone describe it as: To you it
looks like a tiny pea. To me it's a bowling ball covered in barbed wire.

Or someone who has had a major
major injury or surgery.

I take about 400 doses of meds per month, about 100 of those are pain
meds. Some days I take none, and some days, I take four or five.

I'm not going to suffer when there is relief. I don't take them to
alter my mood or get goofy.
