Chronic pain can also be caused from consumption of GMOs and gluten.

“Treatment can help, but this condition can't be cured”
So how exactly does Western medicine treat Chronic Pain Syndrome?
Here is what Columbia University, one of the world’s most respected top academic and research medical establishments say on their website regarding how to treat Chronic Pain Syndrome:
“These are possible treatment options:
• Behavior modification, such as cognitive behavioral therapy
• Acupuncture
• Psychotherapy
• Biofeedback
• Hypnosis
• Occupational therapy
• Physical therapy
• Relaxation techniques, such as meditation, visual imagery, or deep breathing
• Medications to help control pain, such as anti-inflammatory drugs, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and opioids
• Nerve blocks
• Surgery to treat any underlying conditions”

I must take a moment to discuss the travesty that pervades the Western medical establishment’s widespread use of anti-depressants in treating chronic pain.
And, yes, this practice is widespread:
“At doses lower than those needed to treat depression, antidepressants can relieve chronic pain in conditions ranging from diabetic neuropathy, migraine and tension headaches, to osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. In fact, they are so effective, that antidepressants are the mainstay for treating chronic pain.”

Need I reiterate? Anti-depressants are the medical mainstay for treating chronic pain.
Why?
