About this sermon
Opioid-related deaths are on the rise in the US. The CDC estimated over 100,000 people died of drug overdoses from October 2020 to October 2021, with nearly two-thirds of those cases involving synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl. Director of the Institute for Autoimmune and Rheumatic Diseases at St. Joseph Health and author of "Immunity Strong: Boost Your Natural Healing Power and Live to 100," Dr. Bob Lahita, joins to share what he thinks is fueling this opioid epidemic. Dr. Lahita talks about the dangers of fentanyl and how deadly it is. In addition to drug use, alcohol abuse has also been on the rise. The doctor discusses what he thinks is causing this rise in substance abuse and how people can deal with stress in healthier ways. On another note, Dr. Anthony Fauci recently said the US may soon face additional lockdowns due to the new COVID strain. Dr. Lahita explains whether he thinks this would be a good strategy or whether there are other ways we can mitigate the spread.
