I was just hoping Brazil wouldn't revert to Bolsinaro types who would follow Trump's lead and cancel medical research.

But now I'm very curious what is in those pink pills. i had the experience of having my back pain recur when I was living in Czeckoslovakia, and a doctor there gave me a medicine that knocked out my pain without side effects. I was never able to get something that effective in the US. It never occured to me to save a record that might have identified what was in those pills, but I was guessing some narcotic that has been banned in the US. I wonder if the Brazilian approach is more herbal given their resources.

As for back pain, if that is still an issue, try John Sarno's book Healing Back Pain. That's what solved my back pain permanently. He has more recent books that I am told are better. I was in NYC when I read it, so I was able to see him while he was still alive. Most people are helped by just reading the book but there are doctors carrying on his work at NYU Medical Center.

Sarno was on the Rosie ODonnell show after her producer was successfully treated by him. Rosie had queried her viewing audience for suggestions when her producer was in pain and nothing helped. She got hundreds of recommendations for Dr. Sarno. He was also on 20/20 with John Stossel.
