Deborah Vidal welcomes Martha Rosenberg to the Vidal Speaks podcast to talk about the truth about opioids. Opioids don’t treat diseases or symptoms, instead, after a few weeks, they make the patient addicted. Like Vidal always says, “knowledge is power,” so listen to this podcast, get informed about opioids, be able to say no to certain prescribed medicines in certain situations and discover alternative medicines to treat chronic illnesses and pain.
If you haven’t heard about Martha Rosenberg, here is some information. Martha is a former advertising copywriter who knows a lot about marketing. She began as an investigative journalist and since has been on TV and radio as a health expert. Martha has taught about drug marketing tactics at a Chicago medical school and is part of the FDA press corps. Her book “Born with a Junk Food Deficiency: How Flaks, Quacks, and Hacks Pimp the Public Health,” exposes what goes on behind the scenes in the food and drug industries.
