'Use Afghan opium for NHS drugs'

Extract:

"Afghanistan's opium poppies should be used to alleviate a shortage of painkillers in the NHS, the British Medical Association has said."

If you are in pain and lack effective painkillers, or if, like me, you have a philosophical or a rational objection to taking painkillers because you have found them useless or suffered from their many adverse side-effects, or would prefer to try to address the cause of the pain, then you may like to try cutting down on your salt/sodium intake. - This is not a frivolous suggestion; eating less salt reduces a lot of - possibly most - pain. - See http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/conditions.html
