Medication alternative can make you worse

I don't want to discount the help that some people get from yoga, pilates, and similar regimens, but FAR too many people, including a frightening number of physicians, simply ASSuME that non-opioid, non-surgical, and non-medication treatments are safe. The common argument is that, even if these aren't effective, the benefit:risk ratio must be acceptable because they assume that these are safe. Any exercise program can exasperate CP/IP, but some of these risks are extremely severe.

ForestTennant.com

I just wanted to let everyone know that ForestTennant.com is down (the domain has expired). I've written to him about it, but for the meantime, please know that http://bit.ly/PainGuidePDF will not work. I've created a new link that is not dependent on his site, so you can still share the Intractable Pain Patients' Handbook for Survival with the following link:
