      Pain Brain and Science

Pain: a brain message of bad news  about  a body part.

Statistics: pain and depression

Kill 100.000 Americans every year

116 million Americans with chronic pain (Institute of medicine report June 2012)

Silent complications of pain and depression

Opiates (endorphins) pain and depression

endorphins regulate pain and mood.

opiates are neuroprotective.

opiates are not neurotoxic like cocaine PCP LSD alcohol tobacco.

long acting opiates methadone, intramuscular heroin, OxyContin, Opana ER are not abusable  .

False alarm by CDC and DEA

There is no  scientific evidence of an epidemic of prescription pain medication overdose deaths. 2  heroine deaths per hundred thousand population are insignificant versus 5 deaths from drowning or 5 .5 deaths from motorcycle accidents and 12 from suicide.
