Games without Frontiers: How the Fed Used Opioids as Scapegoat & Diversion for the Nation’s True Crises – by Matthew Giarmo, Ph.D.– Sept 2018

Here’s a guy who lays it out as he sees it, remarkably similar to the view of pain patients. This could be because he took time off to take care of a family member with cancer – he saw firsthand the full destructive force of their pain.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

  • The problem is not opioids. It’s heroin.
  • The problem is not painkillers. It’s pain.
  • The problem is not prescription. It’s diversion.
