Finally the UK NHS gets called out !!
'I've cured my chronic back pain with £19 patch - but NHS won't prescribe it'

A retired teacher claims a £19 patch has cured his chronic back pain and freed him from a life of prescription painkillers - but says the NHS still won't prescribe it to him.
says a revolutionary drug-free treatment rescued him from a cocktail of opioid painkillers and saved the NHS £8,000 in barely two-and-a-half years—but doctors STILL won't prescribe it to him.
Gary Meek, 62, from Harlow, Essex, suffers from degenerative disc disorder – a debilitating condition which causes chronic lower back pain.
He says the ActiPatch has saved the NHS £8,000 a year and is calling for it to be available to other sufferers.
Gary's agonising back pain forced him into early retirement at just 55 from his work as Senior Lecturer in Post Graduate Certificate of Education training IT Teachers at Middlesex University.
And years of coping through intense NHS-prescribed opioids and painkillers like duloxetine and fentanyl left the father-of-two wondering whether the pain or the side effects of medication were worse.
But that all changed when a fellow patient introduced him to a device that uses electromagnetic pulses to treat pain while on a pain management programme at St Thomas’ Hospital, in London.
He has now been using Actipatch for around 30 months and says it has been vital to him being able to reduce intake of a cocktail of painkilling drugs—including fentanyl.
Gary said: “I was taking a phenomenal concoction of opioids and NSAIDs [non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs] to mask the pain.
“I was in a haze. The amount and type of drugs I was on beforehand was a massive concern. A lot of the time I didn’t know what day of the week it was.
