Dr. Joseph Mercola - Take Control of Your Health

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

06 Jun 2025

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 โ€” leaving patients to cycle through increasingly dangerous interventions without addressing underlying issues Conventional medications create more problems than they solve โ€” 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
