101 Tips for Chronic Pain Relief
Pain. It can be low, pounding, never-seems-to-go-away pain or stabbing, piercing, want-to-scream-at-the-top-of-your-lungs pain. I've watched chronic pain slowly eat away at a life. Sixty years ago my mother was one of the first to have a new surgical procedure to relieve her pain. It didn't work. Years later her pain finally ended her life shortly after her 40th birthday.What is pain? You know what it is: it's your nervous system telling you that something isn't right and it hurts. Pain is a complex process and it can vary from one person to the next even if they have similar injuries or illnesses.The American Chronic Pain Association simply says that "It's hard to know how to move forward once chronic pain has entered your life. It helps to think of a person with chronic pain like a car with four flat tires." It may take more than one type of therapy or treatment to get the car (your life) moving again. "A thorough collection of things to consider if dealing with chronic pain. Drugs, modern and alternative, OTC and ones to avoid. Treatments new and medieval. Just enough information about each option to let chronic pain sufferers know whether this is an avenue they should pursue." --Jeff H."This book will expand your possibilities for finding an effective source of chronic pain relief. More than just a list, Alan Smith explains each entry in layman's terms while also providing background information, research credentials, advantages and disadvantages, with helpful warnings about possible side effects or addiction." --Bob Moody, author of The Terror of Indiana: Bent Jones & The Moody-Tolliver Feud"Chronic pain issues combined with poor meds management can be lethal. Smith's book offers new hope for the not-infrequently damaging and sometimes possibly lethal pain management programs of the past. I am excited by the future possibilities within." --Molly G.From the 101 Tips SeriesLoving Healing Press

A powerful and concise work." - 5 Star Amazon ReviewResearch Institutes Enjoy the Fruits of Willful IgnoranceWhile in the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic, spring 2022, three top Canadian science institutions were put to the test.

During this period, politics dominated the 'follow the science' narrative and large financial incentives were tied to the successful uptake of the new genetic vaccines.

You be the judge.This supplementary guide provides the letter and email correspondences apprising three institutions of a serious act of research misconduct, together with their feeble replies.
