Linda S. PhD Mintle - Living beyond Pain

Opioids are killing more Americans than war or crime. We know the problem, but is there a solution? After all, the reason a lot of Americans take opioids is to deal with real pain. Its just that the cure has become worse than the malady! Dr. Linda Mintle and Dr. James Kribs have teamed up to help people cope with pain without addiction to opioids by using clinically tested alternatives. Some books about opioids sound the fire alarm. This one is the fire truck coming to put out the fire.
