Soon to be a Hulu Original Series

Journalist Beth Macy's definitive account of America's opioid
epidemic "masterfully interlaces stories of communities in crisis with dark histories of corporate greed and regulatory indifference" (New York Times) -- from the boardroom to the courtroom and into the living rooms of Americans. In this extraordinary work, Beth Macy takes us into the epicenter of a national drama that has unfolded over two decades. From the labs and marketing departments of big pharma to local doctor's offices; wealthy suburbs to distressed small communities in Central Appalachia; from distant cities to once-idyllic farm towns; the spread of opioid addiction follows a tortuous trajectory that illustrates how this crisis has persisted for so long and become so firmly entrenched.

Beginning with a single dealer who lands in a small Virginia town and sets about turning high school football stars into heroin overdose statistics, Macy sets out to answer a grieving mother's question-why her only son died-and comes away with a gripping, unputdownable story of greed and need. From the introduction of OxyContin in 1996, Macy investigates the powerful forces that led America's doctors and patients to embrace a medical culture where overtreatment with painkillers became the norm. In some of the same communities featured in her bestselling book Factory Man, the unemployed use painkillers both to numb the pain of joblessness and pay their bills, while privileged teens trade pills in cul-de-sacs, and even high school standouts fall prey to prostitution, jail, and death.

Through unsparing, compelling, and unforgettably humane portraits of families and first responders determined to ameliorate this epidemic, each facet of the crisis comes into focus. In these politically fragmented times, Beth Macy shows that one thing uniting Americans across geographic, partisan, and class lines is opioid drug abuse. But even in the midst of twin crises in drug abuse and healthcare, Macy finds reason to hope and ample signs of the spirit and tenacity that are helping the countless ordinary people ensnared by addiction build a better future for themselves, their families, and their communities.

"An impressive feat of journalism, monumental in scope and urgent in its implications." -- Jennifer Latson, The Boston Globe

Really helps dry skin
Great product. I use after shower. After rubbing it in my skin it seems to soak in quickly so not greasy on clothes. I have not had the dry skin problems usually do in winter since using this product!

Allergic
I would not say don’t use this product, but for me, after the 2nd use, I noticed bumps on my forearm, rough skin on the back of my elbows. So to say, I am having an allergic reaction. Some people may not, but I am. The smell is bad when you open the bottle, but dissipates after you put it on and it sits for a while. I can’t use because of highly sensitive eczema, maybe someone else can.

Skin Savior
Eczema Honey body oil has been my skin savior. I am 50 yrs old and have never had skin issues before until this winter. Burning, uncontrollable itching and rashes. After the first use after shower on damp skin, no more itching and burning or rashes. So very happy I bought this product!!!

Fabulous ... or at least it used to be
Love. Game changer. Perfection. I live in a desert environment, so my search for things to tend to my parched and annoyingly sensitive skin is never ending. I’ve used various oils in the past, but I usually get tired of the, well, oiliness and give up. But this one has all of the benefits of those other oils with none of the lingering greasiness. Applied in the shower, then topped with a light lotion, and my skin is soft and moisturized. I would agree with other reviews that comment on the pump and its inability to spray effectively, but I just spray it into my hand and apply that way. Oh, and the light lavender scent is very nice! Update: I loved this so much that I didn’t hesitate to buy another bottle when it ran out. And I was absolutely appalled by what I received. They have changed the formulation in some distinct ways, and the scent is now absolutely terrible! The first bottle had a light, natural lavender scent that didn’t linger. This one stinks of … like … cheap gas station bathroom soap. And it doesn’t fade. What a disappointment!

Foams well, smells good, rinses off nicely, perfect!
Scent: Eucalyptus, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Oh five stars easily! I bought some other brand, starts with an M, but no foam! Nothing! Then I ordered this one hoping it would at the very least be foamy. It is, and it smells wonderful, and it cleans hands perfectly. It also rinses off well. FIVE STAR! I will be buying all of these! The lavender is probably my favorite scent, The Satsuma & Eucalyptus is excellent too, and I will be ordered others when they are available.
