The Illegal Heroin and Fentanyl brought in from China & Mexico Created Overdose Epidemic & Rise in Drug Overdose Deaths Creates INCREASE IN ORGAN DONATIONS / Organ Harvesting/Transplants-2016
In many circumstances, those who die from drug overdoses tend to be younger and otherwise in good health. This makes them good candidates for organ donation…. there has been a notable increase in the past four years. In 2015, and so far in 2016, more donors have died as a result of drug intoxication than gunshot wounds.
Reminds me of Haiti when a CNN reporter held up a box of eye corneas…now what would the dying people of haiti need eye corneas in an immergency?
Drug overdoses contribute to record number of organ donors

Fabricated Tech Bubble Created for profit, Fabricated Housing Bubble created for profit & NOW a Fabricated RX Opioid crisis Created and Perpetuated for Profit & Gun Confiscation & other political agendas….
Just imagine the "Kick Backs" in the form of Campaign Contributions, PACS and the $$$ Amount to the politicians, & why they won't or have any desire to fix it.
STOP the Lies!
Call it what it really is!
It is & always was an illegal heroin & illegal fentanyl flooding of the USA.
Not a Doctor prescribed opioid epidemic!
Follow the money, who profits by restricting Doctors from prescribing pain meds to their patients with chronic pain!
FACT: The harder it becomes to get pills, the more people flock to illegal heroin and illegal fentanyl.
FACT: It’s now indisputable that most recent opioid deaths result from illegal heroin/fentanyl, not physician prescribed pain pills.
This is Insane!
We have the DEA raiding and seizing all financial assets of Physicians treating chronic pain patients, relieving their pain successfully and without addiction. But yet these physicians are in prison for helping pain patients relieve their pain
But we have illegal immigrants running around free that were caught at the border committing a felony, drug smugglers, child sex traffickers, M-13 gangs?
And will live off the tax payers with welfare and tax credits!
PATIENT BROKERING
Lead Selling: Paying brokers a per-head finders-fee or kick-backfor referring patients to their treatment facility (e.g. financial compensation ($500-$1000 per patient) or special future consideration. This type of patient brokering is not only happening with patients new to treatment, but also in agreements made between recovery residences (e.g. sober houses) and treatment centers, or between two separate treatment centers.
Lead Buying: When treatment centers bid for patient referrals and leads. Call centers are set up to generate commission based on their number of placed referrals, with call center agents posing as caregivers, and unbeknownst to the patient, auctioning off the patient to the highest bidding treatment center. Treatment facilities that appear as separate actually may all route to the same call center.
*Patient Brokering often entails what is called “Addiction Tourism,” which is the practice of sending a patient out of their home state to receive treatment at a facility in a different state.
Psychiatrist Andrew J. Kolodny of the CDC: Narcotics Nazi Division
Psychiatrist Andrew J. Kolodny is a quack.
He is NOT qualified, licensed nor Board Certified in Pain Management and has NO medical expertise in the field or treating chronic pain patients, whatsoever.
Psychiatrist Kolodny makes his money off of addiction, addiction centers and addiction therapy drugs (tagged the treatment drug for life) which is considered more addictive, more severe withdrawal symptoms, more severe side effects than RX opioids, in addition to being more expensive.
Psychiatrist Andrew J. Kolodny, is the founder and Executive Director of PROP, an anti-opioid extremist on steroids, who ran the Phoenix House chain of so called “non-profit” addiction treatment centers and is responsible for the 2016 CDC Guidelines, increasing the pharmaceutical levels of all opioids, reclassifying them to insane levels.
He also makes money from court cases.
CAN THE QUACK!
When the Trump administration announced new restrictions on opioid prescriptions covered by Medicare, the plan drew strong criticism from patients and physicians across the country.
The proposed rule, which would have required insurer approval of prescriptions totaling 90 or more morphine milligram equivalents (MME) per day, generated nearly 1,400 online comments and they were overwhelmingly negative. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) noted two months later, in April 2018. “Physician groups opposed the forcible/non-consensual dose reductions due to the risks for patients of abrupt discontinuation and rapid taper of high dose opioid use. Similarly, we received hundreds of letters from patients who have taken opioids for long periods of time and are afraid of being forced to abruptly reduce or discontinue their medication regimens with sometimes extremely adverse outcomes, including depression, loss of function, quality of life, and suicide.”
Which went completely ignored.
Narcotic Nazis" at the CDC…are the Cancer destroying millions of lives, with their lies.
And President Trump…why are you perpetuating our suffering?
T4 Program, also called T4 Euthanasia Program, Nazi German effort—framed as a euthanasia program—to kill incurably ill, physically or mentally disabled, emotionally distraught, and elderly people. Adolf Hitler initiated the program in 1939, and, while it was officially discontinued in 1941, killings continued covertly until the military defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945.
Tiergartenstrasse 4—involved virtually the entire German psychiatric community. A new bureaucracy, headed by physicians, was established with a mandate to kill anyone deemed to have a “life unworthy of living.” Some physicians active in the study of eugenics, who saw Nazism as “applied biology,” enthusiastically endorsed this program.
An important criterion was economic. Nazi officials assigned people to this program largely based on their economic productivity. The Nazis referred to the program’s victims as “burdensome lives” and “useless eaters.”
The program’s directors ordered a survey of all psychiatric institutions, hospitals, and homes for chronically ill patients.
While the program’s personnel killed people at first by starvation and lethal injection, they later chose asphyxiation by poison gas as the preferred killing technique. Physicians oversaw gassings in chambers disguised as showers, using lethal gas provided by chemists. Program administrators established gas chambers at six killing centres in Germany and Austria: Hartheim, Sonnenstein, Grafeneck, Bernburg, Hadamar, and Brandenburg. The SS (Nazi paramilitary corps) staff in charge of the transports donned white coats to keep up the charade of a medical procedure. Program staff informed victims’ families of the transfer to the killing centres. Visits, however, were not possible. The relatives then received condolence letters, falsified death certificates signed by physicians, and urns containing ashes. The murder of the handicapped, intellectually or physically disabled and emotionally disturbed Germans who by their very existence violated the Nazi ideal of Aryan supremacy. They were termed “life unworthy of life.” An economic justification was also employed as these Germans were considered “useless eaters.” was a precursor to the Holocaust.
https://www.britannica.com/event/T4-Program
Nazi policies and practices also sought to repress civilian gun ownership and eradicate gun owners in Germany and occupied Europe.
The registration of all firearms and the confiscation thereof, was required for “public safety.
Constitutional rights were suspended, mass searches for, seizures of guns and dissident publications ensued. Police revoked gun licenses of those who were not “politically reliable.”
They all knew that it was never a Doctor Prescribed Opioid Crisis, it was always an illegal heroin & illegal fentanyl flooding of the US.
78% of the Oxycontin overdoses were NOT Doctor Prescribed… but purchased on the black market illegally, etc. They have known this since 2009.
And how many chronic pain patients that have undiagnosed cancer or other fatal illnesses that could be treated….are too afraid of mentioning other painful symptoms, because they may be dropped by their Physicians or have already been dropped and have no Doctor to go to?
Your ignorance has dire consequences!
The meme is so true, BE BEST…Enough Talk, get it done!
The outragiously unscientific CDC Narcotic Nazi Guidelines are causing doctors to leave their practices all over the US, for fear of DEA Gestapo malious prosecution & Asset Forfeiture if they exceed an arbitrary and unscientific “one size fits all” policy while trying to treat their patients effectively and as individuals.
Patients are being deserted by their doctors after they have used opioids as directed, safely and effectively for years to maintain the quality of their lives.
Chronic pain patients left with two alternatives buy pain relief illegally on the streets or end the pain for good by committing suicide.

Prohibition Never Works
Notable Notable
Border officials say the illegals know if they show up with children they will not be turned away at the border, but instead will be permitted to stay, file a phony asylum claim, and then be released to disappear.
END THE RIDICULOUS ASYLUM LAWS THAT AID ANY ILLEGALS! EVERY DAMN ONE OF THEM!
Trump: I’ll Close Border If Mexico Doesn’t Stop Illegal-Alien Invasion. 1.5M Expected This Year-Friday, 29 March 2019
President Trump says that if Mexico does not stop the illegal-alien invasion that has overwhelmed U.S. immigration authorities and is costing taxpayers millions of dollars, he will close the border.
That threat landed with a report from Breitbart that the country faces a tidal wave of illegal aliens this year if things don’t change. And it doesn’t look like they will without a wall.
Central Americans are flooding the border in unimaginable numbers, as The New American has reported repeatedly in the last few months.
They show no sign of stopping their illegal invasion.
Trump’s Threat: The president threatened to close the border in three tweets this morning at about 8:30.
The DEMOCRATS have given us the weakest immigration laws anywhere in the World. Mexico has the strongest, & they make more than $100 Billion a year on the U.S. Therefore, CONGRESS MUST CHANGE OUR WEAK IMMIGRATION LAWS NOW, & Mexico must stop illegals from entering the U.S….
….through their country and our Southern Border. Mexico has for many years made a fortune off of the U.S., far greater than Border Costs. If Mexico doesn’t immediately stop ALL illegal immigration coming into the United States through our Southern Border, I will be CLOSING…..
….the Border, or large sections of the Border, next week. This would be so easy for Mexico to do, but they just take our money and “talk.”
Besides, we lose so much money with them, (especially when you add in drug trafficking etc.), that the Border closing would be a good thing!
That’s tough talk, but Trump isn’t afraid to follow through. He warned Congress that if it didn’t provide money to build a border wall, he would declare a national emergency to build it himself.
He declared that emergency, vetoed a bill to overturn his declaration, and last week took the first $1 billion of a projected $8 billion to begin constructing a barrier to stop the flow of illegal aliens.
1.5 Million This Year: Meanwhile, Breitbart.com reported some shocking data that show just how massive a problem the country faces.
The administration’s catch-and-release policy, it reported, “is on track to release roughly 434,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into the country by the end of the year.
This projection is based on current estimates that more than 36,000 border crossers and illegal aliens have been released from DHS custody every month since the beginning of the year.”
Even worse, Breitbart reported, another estimate from Princeton Policy Advisors researcher Steven Kopits predicts 500,000 illegal aliens sloshing across the border “undetected by Border Patrol agents.
These are foreign nationals whom federal immigration officials are unaware of and are usually only deported after they commit a crime in the U.S.”
Visa overstays present another avenue for illegal-alien depredations. Should this year’s levels “continue at the same pace as in Fiscal Year 2017, there could potentially be about 630,000 illegal aliens added to the U.S. population after overstaying their visas.” But Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies told Breitbart News to expect between 300,000 to 400,000
Those projections total about 1.5 million. Annual illegal immigration costs American taxpayers $116 billion, Breitbart noted.
So Far This Year: Top officials at Customs and Border Patrol have repeatedly warned that the border is in crisis.
In El Paso earlier this week, CBP chief Kevin McAleenan predicted that 100,000 illegals will cross the border in March.
Through February of this fiscal year, CPB data show, agents have collared 318,407 illegals, including 158,118 as families and 28,976 children. Last year’s total was 187,097. Agents apprehended 76,013 in February alone.
Where is CBP keeping them all? It isn’t.
It’s dumping this mass of humanity into communities in the American southwest, Breitbart reported on Tuesday. In the last three months, the Department of Homeland Security has dumped 108,500 illegals upon unsuspecting Americans. It unleashed 24,000 between March 5 and March 20 alone.
Also unprecedented is the number of families.
Border officials say the illegals know if they show up with children they will not be turned away at the border, but instead will be permitted to stay, file a phony asylum claim, and then be released to disappear.

NANNY STATE MEDICINE YOU'RE NEXT! ==
The lack of actual Medical expertise in this administration astounds me!
First we have the infamous quack Psychiatrist Dr. Andrew J. Kolodny, who has never been board certified or licensed to treat diseases that cause excruciating pain or pain management. In fact he's one of PROP's radical idiots on steroids. Why is this quack even on the CDC or writing guidelines defies any intelligence or logic. Especially when he profits from drug rehab centers and opioids rehab drugs that are more addictive, expensive and have worse tapering off side effects than other opioids. Which is why they're labeled the therapy drugs for life.
Then we Dr. Ben Carson, who I previously admired…giving exemptions for only terminally ill or cancer patients…but ignoring the most excruciating painful diseases…example, cluster headaches are not nick named 'suicide headaches' for nothing, what about Shingles, Kidney Stones, Brain Injuries, Multiple Skull Fractures & Concussions, Rheumatoid & Osteoarthritis, Fibromyalgia, Migraines, Cluster Headaches, Severe Burns, Peritonitis, Dercum's Disease, Trigeminal Neuralgia, CPRS, Lupus, Gulf War Syndrome, A list of types of injuries & diseases of the spine, etc. etc. or a combo of multiple conditions,
etc, etc. And the fact that PAIN exacerbates these diseases. Besides multiple studies that link Pain & Stress to the development of Cancer.
There are an estimated 25 million of us and we have daily reminders of how insane this administrations' witch hunt on us and our physicians is and the suffering that we have been through.
Yes, we are or possibly were Trump supporters before he officially even ran and know this was created by the Obama Administration by knowingly letting the floods of illegal heroin and illegal fentanyl into the USA. Obama's administration's DEA were the first ones to target Physicians prescribing opioids to restrict the supply, while demanding Oxycontin makers reformulate Oxycontin so that it could no longer be injected or inhaled by recreational users. We also know that Obama's administration lacked enforcement of our borders, aiding in fast n furious "guns for drugs" with the Mexican Cartel, etc. etc. as if there were several agendas to their created opioid epidemic, one being Billions in profits by big pharma, rehab facilities, rehab drugs, drug testing, kick backs in campaign contributions with the taxpayers money, others organ harvesting, white genocide, suicide of the ill or elderly in pain, etc. etc..( similar to those playbook tactics by Hitler's genocide of the mentally ill, elderly, diseased, etc.of actual Germans, not just Jews).???
President Trump can end this witch hunt on chronic pain patients and their physicians immediately.
Prohibition never works…restrictions only aid in the explosion of more illegal drugs being manufactured and smuggled into the US by any means necessary.
Limiting the demand for illegal opioids will only work. And none of us want government in the room with our physicians at our appointments…our doctors know what is best for us…certainly not big pharma, not policy makers, not the Corrupt CDC, FDA, asset seizure profiting DEA, certainly not the quack Psychiatrist Dr. Andrew J. Kolodny, politicians, lobbyist, etc.
-When we voted for Trump, we did not vote for suffering of chronic pain patients or their Doctors to live in fear of writing any scripts for opioids,
-we did not vote for prohibition,
-we did not vote for nanny state medicine,
-we did not vote for invasion of our privacy,
-we did not vote for absurd contracts & erroneous false positive ridden drug testings,
-we did not vote for being be dropped by our doctors,
-we did not vote to worsen or exacerbate our medical conditions,
-we did not vote to be treated like drug addicts or our Doctors to be treated like Drug Dealers,
-we did not vote to be left alone to suffer in silence or forced to go to the black market for pain relief or commit suicide to end the constant pain.
We voted for Trump to end the obama created nightmare, not to perpetuate our suffering & the suffering of other patients in pain.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is introducing federal legislation to promote "red flag" gun prohibition and confiscation order schemes. Sadly, this legislation was encouraged by President Donald Trump, who once famously said, "take the guns first, go through due process second."
This may be the most dangerous anti-Second Amendment legislation in the 2019-2020 congressional session – not only because of what it would mean for gun owners, but because it is widely supported by anti-gun Democrats and Republicans alike.
"Red Flag" laws allow people to secretly petition a judge to have your guns taken away WITHOUT due process. The petitioners do not have to prove you have committed a crime – they can take your gun rights away, followed by a warrant for confiscation of firearms, ammunition, magazines, and gun parts.
And these petitions can sometimes be ex parte – without you even having notice or being present to defend against the petition.
In fact, in some states, a court “may consider any other evidence of an increased risk for violence, including, but not limited to….[e]vidence of recent acquisition of firearms, ammunition, or other deadly weapons.” In other words, if someone recently exercised their Second Amendment rights, that could be construed as evidence that they are an “increased risk for violence” and should have a "red flag" order issue against them.
In an ex parte situation, the subject of an order might not even know about it, let alone voluntarily decide to give up their property once they do know. And if it’s an order issued after notice and a hearing, then that subject, if they really are dangerous, gets to maintain possession of weapons until someone takes their weapons from them—if they can find them—or until there’s a warrant, search, and seizure of property.
While a firearm is, of course, personal property, the interest at stake here is far more substantial than the deprivation of a mere possession. “[T]he right to keep and bear arms” is “among those fundamental rights necessary to our system of ordered liberty.” McDonald v. City of Chicago, 561 U.S. 742, 130 S. Ct. 3020, 3042 (2010). And by establishing a scheme that would prohibit possession (and allow for seizure) of firearms, "red flag" laws strike at the core of the Second Amendment: the right to keep and bear arms in the home for self-defense. District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 630 635 (2008).
But it gets worse. "red flag" laws and their underlying statutes skip past due process. The Due Process Clause guarantees that “[n]o person shall . . . be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” (U.S. Const., amend. V.) Because “[t]he right to prior notice and a hearing is central to the Constitution's command of due process,” United States v. James Daniel Good Real Property, 510 U.S. 43, 53 (1993), the “general rule” is “that individuals must receive notice and an opportunity to be heard before the Government deprives them of property.” (Id. at 48.)
If someone is dangerous enough, due to criminal activity or mental health problems, to be a real threat to themselves or others, then there are many laws by which families, friends, or law enforcement can more appropriately and effectively respond to them.
But if the government does not have enough evidence to investigate or charge a person with a crime or hold them for a mental health evaluation, then the government has not met its burden for taking away rights and property under any scheme.
"Red flag" laws stand for the proposition that everyone is guilty unless they can prove their way out of an accusation. And "red flag" laws are unconstitutional and dangerous.
FPC strongly opposes “red flag“ laws on practical, policy, and constitutional grounds.
Please stand with us and OPPOSE this legislation!

CDC Guidelines & Psychiatrist A. J. Kolodny ARE AS FAKE AS FAKE NEWS! BUT TRUMP DOES NOTHING TO CORRECT IT
Ignorant Government bureaucrats continue to refuse to correct their own errors, biases, complete fabrications and lies. The 2016 CDC guidelines on opioid prescription in chronic pain — and misdirected doctor persecutions carried out by the Drug Enforcement Agency — are responsible for driving a significant number of Physicians out of Family Medicine and Pain Management practice and denying pain relief to people in agony ( The CDC does not collect suicide data specific to the denial of pain treatment or intentional suicides) Several case reports show that deserted patients have committed suicide because of provider abandonment, unrelenting pain, rapid opioid tapers, or a combination of all three.
Government bureaucrats have been informed repeatedly of their errors in public media. But they are passively refusing to do anything to correct them.
Multiple published studies and over 1.6 million patients maintained on doses over 200 MMED, reported by the Department of Health and Human Services in their 2017 Drug Outcomes Surveillance Report disprove the CDC & CDC's Guidelines's claim that RX opioid pain relievers don’t work for long term management of severe pain. The CDC & CDC Guidelines also claim that safe and effective non-pharmaceutical alternatives for pain management exist and are preferable to opioids. Details of a major outcomes study of the US Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality conclusiely disproves this obsurd claim, even while asserting that unproven non-opioid therapies should be tried as substitutes for proven opioid analgesics!
Was the Opioid Crisis Created by Over Prescription?
Published data of the CDC itself disprove this assertion. When State by State rates of doctor prescriptions for opioid pain relievers are compared to rates of opioid overdose related mortality, we find no relationship at all. Any contribution by medically managed opioids is so small that it gets lost in the noise of illegal street drugs that include opioids from licit and illicit sources, with or without other sedative hypnotics including alcohol.
If prescription opioids were substantially contributing to opioid-related deaths, then we should see higher mortality rates in groups which use more prescriptions. But this doesn’t happen, as seen in Analysis of US Opoid Mortality and ER Visit Data [CDC Wonder and AHRQ HCUP-US Databases. Opioid-related deaths among youth and young adults have skyrocketed since 2001, largely because of illicit fentanyl. But opioid deaths from all sources among people over 50 have been stable. Seniors are prescribed opioids about 250% more often than teens. Thus, the group that benefited most from liberalized prescribing policies of the early 2000’s has shown no increased mortality due to opioid drugs from all sources as seen in the link immediately above.
Also compelling is a direct quote from Dr Nora Volkow, Director of the National Institutes on Drug Abuse:
“Unlike tolerance and physical dependence, addiction is not a predictable result of opioid prescribing. Addiction occurs in only a small percentage of persons who are exposed to opioids — even among those with pre-existing vulnerabilities… Older medical texts and several versions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) either overemphasized the role of tolerance and physical dependence in the definition of addiction or equated these processes (DSM-III and DSM-IV). However, more recent studies have shown that the molecular mechanisms underlying addiction are distinct from those responsible for tolerance and physical dependence, in that they evolve much more slowly, last much longer, and disrupt multiple brain processes.”
Do Opioids Work Long Term for Chronic Pain?
Writers of the 2016 CDC guidelines “stacked the deck” against opioid therapy by unfairly rejecting any opioid trials conducted for less than a year, but including much shorter trials for non-opioid medications and behavioral therapy. They got caught at this fraud by their medical peers.

Are Safe and Reliable Substitutes for Opioids Available?
While it is appropriate for doctors to try non-opioid medications first before proceeding to opioid therapy, anti-inflammatory drugs have their own problems and side effects mostly related to gastrointestinal bleed, kidney dysfunction, and cardiac risk. Additionally, there are inherent toxicities and contraindication to all medications, including but not limited to various anticonvulsants, noradrenergic reuptake inhibitors such as certain antidepressants, anticonvulsants, skeletal muscle relaxants, and others.
In June 2018, the US Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality published a systematic outcomes review for non-invasive, non-pharmacological therapies in chronic pain. Among 4996 published trial reports for six categories of chronic pain, only 218 survived rigorous quality review. Quality of medical evidence was “weak” in more than 150. . However, AHRQ flinched from admitting the basic problem of the “alternatives” literature: none of the alternatives has undergone large scale Phase II or Phase III trials. Though most appear safe, we don’t know yet if they work any better than placebo.

== If a National Security has been called, why aren't are Borders sealed? Wouldn't a National Security Trump any other asylum laws? Which asylum laws need to be repealed for the future?
Tired of the Talk, Talk is cheap…let's see some action! NOW ==
Gun Grabber Lindsey Graham, Rubio, and other Rino Traitors.
But they have managed to keep legal Doctor prescribed drugs from law abiding citizens, or Doctors prescribing them or Pharmacies dispensing them…how ironic.

And years of excuses after excuses. Have any of our freedoms taken from us, even liberties, use of legal products in our homes, etc…ever been restored??? Nope!
Human torture for profit…CDC, DEA, Politicians in DC & Trump…It start with Ovomit, and perpetuated by Trump's Adm. for profit
Follow the money and who is profiting by restricting Doctors from prescribing pain meds to their patients with chronic pain!
DEA asset forfeiture laws let them take all and share the wealth.
Human Rights Violations by our own Government! God will Judge & so will we in the next election!

THEY KNEW BACK IN 2009, that 78% of OxyContin abusers never received a Doctor's prescription for them and had purchased them illegally on the black market, as counterfeits.
When the Trump administration announced new restrictions on opioid prescriptions covered by Medicare, the plan drew strong criticism from patients and physicians across the country.
The proposed rule, which would have required insurer approval of prescriptions totaling 90 or more morphine milligram equivalents (MME) per day, generated nearly 1,400 online comments and they were overwhelmingly negative. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) noted two months later, in April 2018. “Physician groups opposed the forcible/non-consensual dose reductions due to the risks for patients of abrupt discontinuation and rapid taper of high dose opioid use. Similarly, we received hundreds of letters from patients who have taken opioids for long periods of time and are afraid of being forced to abruptly reduce or discontinue their medication regimens with sometimes extremely adverse outcomes, including depression, loss of function, quality of life, and suicide.”
Which went completely ignored.
CDC Guidelines & Psychiatrist A. J. Kolodny ARE AS FAKE AS FAKE NEWS! BUT TRUMP DOES NOTHING TO CORRECT IT
Ignorant Government bureaucrats continue to refuse to correct their own errors, biases, complete fabrications and lies. The 2016 CDC guidelines on opioid prescription in chronic pain — and misdirected doctor persecutions carried out by the Drug Enforcement Agency — are responsible for driving a significant number of Physicians out of Family Medicine and Pain Management practice and denying pain relief to people in agony
“A Catastrophic CDC, DEA, FDA, Politician & Administration Failure”
All it would take…but no, nothing….

DEA still going after Doctors and not drug dealers (asset forfeiture laws…lucrative and don't shoot back) CDC Guidelines based on Junk Science if you can even call it science written by someone who isn't even remotely an expert…
Nothing done, totally ignored and we've waited and waited hoping the nightmare would end.
Human torture for profits…yeah, these people are sick
President Trump…why are you perpetuating our suffering?
Psychiatrist Andrew J. Kolodny of the CDC: Narcotics Nazi Division
Psychiatrist Andrew J. Kolodny is a quack.
He is NOT qualified, licensed nor Board Certified in Pain Management and has NO medical expertise in the field or treating chronic pain patients, whatsoever.
Psychiatrist Kolodny makes his money off of addiction, addiction centers and addiction therapy drugs (tagged the treatment drug for life) which is considered more addictive, more severe withdrawal symptoms, more severe side effects than RX opioids, in addition to being more expensive.
Psychiatrist Andrew J. Kolodny, is the founder and Executive Director of PROP, an anti-opioid extremist on steroids, who ran the Phoenix House chain of so called “non-profit” addiction treatment centers and is responsible for the 2016 CDC Guidelines, increasing the pharmaceutical levels of all opioids, reclassifying them to insane levels.
He also makes money from court cases.
CAN THE QUACK!

AMY LIED
Fabricated Tech Bubble Created for profit, Fabricated Housing Bubble created for profit & NOW a Fabricated RX Opioid crisis Created and Perpetuated for Profit & Gun Confiscation & other political agendas….
Just imagine the "Kick Backs" in the form of Campaign Contributions, PACS and the $$$ Amount to the politicians, & why they won't or have any desire to fix it.
Remember Amy Klobuchar's Chronic Excruciating Pain Tax?
Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Angus King (I-ME), Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Bill Nelson (D-FL) are co-sponsoring a bill that will….
TAX 95% of those who suffer from the most excruciatingly painful and sometimes chronic diseases and conditions: Cancer, Shingles, Kidney Stones, Rheumatoid & Osteoarthritis, Fibromyalgia, Migraines, Cluster Headaches, Severe Burns, Peritonitis, Dercum's Disease, Trigeminal Neuralgia, CPRS, Lupis, Gulf War Syndrome, Injuries, Broken bones, etc…as if those patients haven't suffered enough. They happen to be some of the poorest Americans and Veterans, too.
Meme:
“The Doctor's Office is just around the corner. And He wrote 20 perscriptions for Robitussin AC Cough Syrup, last month.”
“Wasn't that cold season, Sir?”
“Who cares! It's a NARCOTIC! Just think of the financial assets we get to keep.”
Doctors don't shoot back and Doctors also often aren't aware of DEA "Asset Forfeiture Laws".
-A physician's considerable assets can be divided up among the various law enforcement agencies investigating him before he's ever brought to trial.
-Over the last several years, hundreds of physicians have been put on trial for charges ranging from health insurance fraud to drug distribution, even to manslaughter and murder for over-prescribing prescription narcotics. Many times, investigators seize a doctor's house, office, and bank account, leaving him no resources with which to defend himself.
-Even if criminal charges are never filed a police dept can still bring a civil action against a suspected medical professional to recover the cost of an investigation.
In the 21st Century, we have gone backwards in Medicine, not forward. Doctors are put in prison for treating their pain patients humanely….sickening…the politicians are the ones to blame. Follow the money, the ads and who profits by restricting Doctors writing they same scripts they have for the last 30 years successfully treating their patients' pain or reducing it…so they too can have a decent quality of life.
Jay Lawrence, a former truck driver, is a case in point. When his doctor refused to continue his medication in early 2017 — even though he had severe pain from spinal cord injuries and was not addicted — he told his wife that he’d had enough. In a park where they’d recently renewed their wedding vows, he fatally shot himself in the chest while she held his hand.
Thousands of pain medication recipients have had their doses reduced or eliminated. But this attempt to save people from addiction is leaving many patients in perpetual pain — and thus inadvertently ruining, or even ending, lives.
A Veterans Health Administration study found alarming rates of suicidal acts “following discontinuation of opioid therapy.” Human Rights Watch recently released a report detailing the struggles of chronic pain patients in the United States to find relief and care as a result of government efforts to reduce prescriptions.
Prescribing outside the C.D.C. guidelines can lead to scrutiny by medical boards and even the Drug Enforcement Administration — and the result has been that many doctors have either quit prescribing entirely or tapered patients’ doses to fit the guidelines.
According to a 2017 Boston Globe survey, nearly 70 percent of family and internal medicine doctors nationwide reported having reduced their prescribing in the previous two years — and nearly 10 percent reported stopping prescribing pain medication entirely.
The State of Oregon is considering a proposal that would require that all Medicaid patients with certain forms of chronic pain be forced off opioids. But not all patients can manage without opioids and some — whether because of metabolic or genetic differences, or tolerance from long-term use — will always need higher doses than the C.D.C. recommends.
By working to reduce prescribing, government regulators, insurers, law enforcement officials, legislators and other policymakers have ignored the genuine dangers of leaving people in agony, including suicide and increased risk for heart attacks and strokes.
And with the Trump administration having pledged to cut the manufacturing of opioids by pharmaceutical companies by an additional 10 percent, even more patients are at risk.
But while medical opioid use has fallen by nearly one-third since peaking around 2011 — and deaths associated with prescription opioids have stabilized — overall opioid overdose fatalities have recently hit a high as more potent, illegally manufactured opioids hit the streets.
Indeed, as prescribing fell, deaths connected to illicit opioids skyrocketed. From 2010 to 2016, heroin overdose mortality rose by nearly 500 percent — and mortality associated with illegally manufactured fentanyl jumped 600 percent from 2013 to 2016 alone.
Officials with the Centers for Disease Control admit that they do not specifically track suicides by patients who have lost medical access to pain relievers, so we don’t really know how many people are killing themselves because they can’t live with their pain.
In the rush to reduce opioid misuse, it is easy to forget that millions of people have safely taken these drugs for years. Data show that less than 8 percent of chronic pain patients become addicted, according to a study that has the director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse as a co-writer. And overwhelmingly, prescription opioid addiction doesn’t begin with a doctor’s prescription: About 80 percent of people who start misusing these drugs are getting them from family, friends and other people’s medicine cabinets — not from legitimate pain treatment.
It is true that long-term, high-dose opioid use is associated with increased overdose risk. But proponents for cutting pain medication use often fail to recognize that simply reducing or ending pain pill prescriptions can be risky, too.
A 2017 study of about 500 veterans who were forced to taper found that 9 percent became suicidal and 2 percent actually acted on those thoughts. Other research recently presented at a major health services conference showed that 30 percent of those who were made to taper completely were dead within six months, though the data didn’t show the cause of death.
After years of complacency, doctors are finally starting to fight back. Dr. McAneny cited her experience to support a resolution, subsequently passed by the medical association, that warns against “misapplication” of the guidelines. The group stresses that dose alone is not a reason for insurers or pharmacists to block access — and that doctors with good clinical reasons for variance should not be investigated or prosecuted.
