It's great to be here with you for another episode. Before this episode, I sat down for a couple of minutes and I started to write out a list of all the different ways we have to treat, alleviate, control, or numb pain. Think about it for just a moment. Think about all the different types of pills, lotions, potions, surgeries, injections, practitioners, and treatments that all claim to resolve pain. It's quite mind-numbing after a while. If I had a nickel every time someone sent me an email or said, "Dr. Joe, what do you think about this diet or this supplement or this exercise or this energy work or tapping?"it can be really confusing, especially if what you're looking for is the best solution for your pain. The irony is if you look at the results of all these treatments, most of them work quite poorly or even worse. More often than not, they really don't provide lasting relief. For decades, we've tried to invent ways to avoid pain, to block it out, to wall it off, and for the most part we failed.
