True Pain Relief: What You Haven’t Been Told - AI Podcast

Episode description
Story at-a-glance
- Spinal pain affects millions despite over $134 billion spent annually in the USA alone, with most patients remaining stuck in chronic pain cycles due to treatments that address symptoms rather than root causes
- Common pain generators are frequently missed, including weak ligaments, tight muscles, structural misalignments, trapped emotions, and inflammatory conditions — leaving patients to cycle through increasingly dangerous interventions without addressing underlying issues
- Conventional medications create more problems than they solve — NSAIDs are the leading cause of drug-related hospital admissions, Tylenol causes 56,000 ER visits annually from toxicity, and Gabapentin provides minimal benefit while causing cognitive effects such as drowsiness
- Corticosteroids, despite being "wonder drugs," cause devastating long-term damage, including 5% to 15% yearly bone loss, 70% weight gain rates, and dramatic increases in heart attacks (226%), heart failure (272%), and strokes (73%)
- Spinal surgeries remain highly profitable but questionable in effectiveness, with significant risks that patients often don't learn about until after complications occur, and no ability to "undo" surgical damage
