"Opioids are killing more Americans than war or crime. Dr. Linda Mintle and Dr. James Kribs have teamed up to help people cope with pain without addiction to opioids by using clinically tested alternatives. Some books about opioids sound the fire alarm. This one is the fire truck coming to put out the fire."--Mike Huckabee, governor of Arkansas, 1996-2007; host of Huckabee on TBN; Fox News contributor; bestselling author; speaker

This is an essential resource at just the right time, educating sufferers and caregivers alike regarding how to deal with pain in healthy ways and move away from the tragic national impact of opioid abuse."--Benjamin S. Carson Sr., MD
