CDC’s Crackdown on Opioid Pain Medications Is Abysmal Failure
Didn’t Fix the Crisis and Americans are Suffering with Severe Pain

The CDC attempted to address the opioid problem in the US five years ago
by curtailing the prescription of opioids.  The result was that deaths are as high
as ever and people with chronic pain are suffering.



Many people have had severe pain or know someone who does. Back pain is something that
can spring up at almost anytime for some people and when it does, it can be debilitating. 
Some people cannot move or get out of bed when the pain strikes.

Others, like veterans, suffer every day.  They know pain and feel it as a result of severe injuries
earlier in their lives. However, these people have been suffering severely for the past few years.


The CDC’s attempt to address the opioid crisis is a total failure.


Five years after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
initiated a crackdown on opioid pain medications, experts have
concluded the policy has been a miserable failure. Overdose
deaths have gone up, not down, and now, courts are starting
to recognize the arguments
used to justify the crackdown are largely bogus.

“So these numbers, they just push these false numbers and
now you have courts of law calling them out,” said Dr. Dan Laird.

As a Las Vegas physician, Laird has a unique vantage point from
which to evaluate the great opioid crackdown.  Laird is a pain
management doctor and an attorney who represented patients
who suffered pain after being denied legal medications.

Of the 50 million Americans plagued by chronic pain, about 20 million
depend on prescription opioids to try and lead somewhat normal
lives. Since 2016, those millions have suffered immensely because
of a war on legal pain meds.

“Chronic pain patients are basically in a fight for their lives,” Laird said.
“They’ve been under attack for several years now with this.
Anti-opioid sentiment and sort of the over-reaction to the opioid crisis.”



Here is an interview with attorney
and pain management doctor Laird:

if the government really wants to stop drug deaths they should stop the uncontrolled influx of fentanyl at the southern border. Fentanyl is far more deadly than any opioid out there and responsible for many more deaths than prescription opioids. Prescribing opioids should be left up to the doctors and not the government. There are people who rely on opioids to relieve their pain and they are suffering because the government wants to control every aspect of our lives and protect us from ourselves.

as well as the uncontrolled and uncontrollable peoples at the border. Stop em. and Stop sending them to my area.

That F killer took down a number in NY or Texas or somewhere big, and it was in a stimulant powder. Recently. I think that if one was used to the stimulant, one would immediately realize they were getting the wrong med. It must have worked mighty fast to kill the ones it took down.

And one may really really trust their V e n d o r.

But under pressure, I reckon a v e n d o r would try to get the product to client. And not have time for tests. But no one would have expected that poison in a far more harmless stimulant. Probably a student getting ready for exams. Recently.

Sighs.
