Hi David, thanks for sharing here. EDS research and advocacy seems to be funded largely by the pharma companies that also have a stake in opioid sales. Aren't these companies the reason we don't have better treatments for chronic pain?

Thanks for the thoughtful response.

This is one of the articles I was thinking of when writing this. I believe it is probably more accurate to say that the support/advocacy groups are funded by industry groups that in turn are funded by big pharma.
