Truthfully,it doesn't matter to me! If you have chronic pain and are 75 years old as I am, finding any relief is pure joy...even if temporary. Opioids helped me and are no longer an option. Gummies not only help my pain, but help my attitude to be more positive and uplifting.
We must find our own ways of relieving pain. We are left on our own, no support from our drs or pain specialists. After 2 unsuccessful nerve block procedures from a damaged nerve from lung surgery from lung cancer,I was told there were no other options. I am no stranger to chronic pain.,but I felt adrift and alone with my pain. I am so glad I have gummied!

Like their web article says: “… there isn’t enough research yet…”
Need I say more?
There are a lot of questionable statements even in the Cleveland Clinic information.
More than trivial, they couldn’t seem to get the spelling right in their title. When I studied psychology & was taught how to thoroughly vet credible research sources, little clues like misspellings were considered suspect. If authorities can’t communicate accurately in their own language, it renders their opinions questionable.
Yes, the jury is still out officially, but perhaps it wouldn’t be if only credible research was published, the public was discerning enough to know that research has been limited for many reasons, including greed of big pharma companies & a war on drugs which was more accurately framed as a war of people of color & indigenous people. So basically, the lack of research is about control.
