NOTABLE NOTABLE NOTABLE

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.

ps…I have never ever tried, asked for or have been on Oxycontin, nor do I want to…but I am not willing to limit or restrict it for those that it helps. Same with Med. Pot or even Big Pharmas' wish to peddle their own brands of Pot for billions. I will never use it but I neither want to limit it for those who it does help. Just note that the gun owning restrictions haven't even been lifted by Pres. Trump. Why not I wonder? I thought our guns were safe…so far, they are not.

POLITICIANS PRACTICING MEDICINE WITHOUT A LICENSE FOR PROFIT!

IT IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN AN ILLEGAL HEROIN AND ILLEGAL FENTANYL FLOODING OF THE USA. NOT A DOCTOR PRESCRIBED OPIOID EPIDEMIC!

FOLLOW THE PROFITS, ADDICTION DRUGS, REHAB CENTERS, DRUG TESTING, DEA ASSET SEIZURES, KICK BACKS TO POLITICIANS IN FORMS OF CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS, ORGAN HARVESTING, ETC.

WHO PROFITS BY RESTRICTING PRESCRIBED OPIOIDS AND DOCTORS PRESCRIBING THEM FOR THEIR CHRONIC PAIN PATIENTS?

Why the Continued War on Chronic Pain Patients & Their Doctors when Physician Prescribed Opioids deaths: 17,029 (could even be lower)Per CDC…

Because it is an estimated Multi-Billion Profit Scam…funded mostly by the tax payers.

Just imagine the $$$ in kick backs to politicians

Call it what it really is!

STOP the Lies!

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!

PROHIBITION FOR PROFITS!

-Despite frequent robberies and burglaries of pharmacies, doctors' offices, and warehouses where prescription medications are stored and sold, the DEA has focused a troubling amount of time and resources on the prescriptions issued by practicing physicians. It's easy to see why. Doctors keep records. They pay taxes. They take notes. They're an easier target than common drug dealers. Doctors don't shoot back and Doctors also often aren't aware of 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.

But The DEA & SAMHSA (The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) Give “Carte Blanche” & “Waivers to prescribe higher doses/limits of controlled substances” to Providers that prescribe “Addiction Therapy Drugs” that are more addictive, controlled substances, tagged the “lifetime therapy drug”, more severe withdrawal symptoms, more side effects and more expensive!

-Addiction Drug Therapy buprenorphine $115.00 per week or $5,980.00 per year. Suboxone sells for $560 at CVS and $553 at Target for a 30-day supply, according to GoodRx.

-Addiction Drug Therapy naltrexone ( Vivitrol ) – up to $1200 to $1,176.50 per injection $1,176.50 per month or $14,112.00 per year.

-Addiction Drug Therapy Methadone $126.00 per week or $6,552.00 per year.

GO FIGURE!

Politicians Practicing Medicine Without A License For Profit!

Where is the war on "-Unintentional fall deaths: 34,673"

Where is the war on STDs " STD related bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, and at least 23,000 people die each year as a direct result of those infections”-CDC 2013

Where is the War on Alcoholic liver disease? Alcoholic liver disease deaths: 21,815

Why the Continued War on Chronic Pain Patients and Their Doctors when Physician Prescribed Opioids deaths: 17,029 (could even be lower )Per CDC…

Because it is an estimated Multi-Billion Profit Scam…funded mostly by the tax payers.

Would it surprise you to know that the market for the addiction recovery industry is well in excess of $35 billion a year?

That is a 44% increase since 2009. By 2020, spending in estimated to reach $42 billion, representing a jump of another 20%. (my opinion, total profits from the fabricated profit created opioid scam is over $100 Billion…)

How much money can be made on a single patient?

-Professional intervention – $2500, plus expenses

-Residential drug detox – at least $500 per day, lasting anywhere from 3 to 14 days

-Inpatient drug rehab – between $6000 and $32,000, depending upon location and amenities. In fact high-end, “luxury” rehabs can cost over $100,000 for a 30-day stay.

-Intensive outpatient programs – up to $10,000 per month

-Partial hospitalization programs – between $350 and $450 per day

-Sober living facilities – up to $2500 per month

-Once-monthly administrations of Vivitrol – up to $1200 per injection

-Sober coaches – up to $1900 per day, plus expenses and travel, usually with a five-day minimum

In addition to “addiction therapy Drugs”, is the multi-Billion Frequent Drug Testing Industry with an absurd failure rate. Etc

End the War on Chronic Pain Patients and their Physicians…This was never the cause of the fake RX prescribed opioid crisis for profit.

We all know that it was illegal heroin & fentanyl brought in from Mexico and China by the previous administration.

To delay the end to this witch hunt defies logic and humane decency….unless there were never plans to end it.

Cruel and Inhumane Treatment & Unusual Punishment

FACT:

-The overall mortality rate for prescription opioids is comparable to the fatality risk of one year of daily aspirin use! (From SAMHSA own 2017 estimates )

-In 2017, illegal heroin & Fentanyl accounted for more than three-fourths of all opioid overdose deaths.

The non-opioid antipsychotic drug Clozapine was found to have a sudden death rate of 0.71 percent for those treated with the drug in the sample …more dangerous than RX opioids!

Joshua T. Cohen and Peter J. Neumann, “What’s More Dangerous, Your Aspirin or Your Car? Thinking Rationally about Drug Risks (and Benefits),” Health Affairs 26, no. 3 (2007): 636-46. The authors find that daily aspirin use has a fatality risk of 10.4 per 100,000 person years, which translates to a 0.000104 fatality risk per year.

Our goal in this paper is to add to the policy debate about drug risks by comparing the mortality risks of common drugs with other risks people confront related to work, transportation, and recreation. Comparing risks in this way can provide a more intuitive sense of the magnitude of drug risks than stand-alone estimates can not.

To the Editor: Recently, we examined our current files to determine the incidence of narcotic addiction in 39,946 hospitalized medical patients' who were monitored consecutively.

Although there were 11,882 patients who received at least one narcotic preparation, there were only four cases of reasonably well documented addiction in patients who had a history of addiction. The addiction was considered major in only one instance. The drugs implicated were meperidine in two patients, Percodan in one, and hydromorphone in one.

"We conclude that despite widespread use of narcotic drugs in hospitals, the development of addiction is rare in medical patients with no history of addiction."

JANE PORTER & HERSHEL JICK, M.D. Boston Collaborative Drug Surveillance Program Boston University Medical Center

1986 paper on the "chronic use of opioid analgesics in non-malignant pain" by Dr. Russell Portenoy and Kathy Foley in Pain, the official journal of the American Pain Society.

"We conclude that opioid maintenance therapy can be a safe, salutary and more humane alternative to the options of surgery or no treatment in those patients with intractable non-malignant pain and no history of drug abuse," Portenoy and Foley wrote.

Long-Term Use and Addiction

The claim that long-term medical use generates addiction is the opposite of the consensus that began to emerge in the 1980s, which held that long-term medical use rarely generates addiction. Proponents of the standard explanation argue that, in coming to this more benign view of opioids, physicians and pharmaceutical companies relied excessively on a 1980 letter to the editor of The New England Journal of Medicine, which stated:

Although there were 11,882 patients who received at least one narcotic preparation, there were only four cases of reasonably well documented addiction in patients who had no history of addiction. . . . We conclude that despite widespread use of narcotic drugs in hospitals, the development of addiction is rare in medical patients with no history of addiction.

Advocates of the standard view argue that this letter provided insufficient grounds for the conclusion that long-term opioid use poses little risk of addiction, noting the letter’s brevity and limited peer review.

Studies since the 1980s, however, have consistently found only a modest risk of addiction or dependence from the medical use of opioids, in the range of 0 to 5 percent.

== A 2018 study of more than 568,000 patients receiving opioids between 2008 and 2016 found a “misuse” rate of 0.6 percent.

Reports of opioid abuse did not increase in the 1990s despite increased medical use. A substantial fraction of patients who exhibit addiction after medical use have a preexisting psychological disease or history of addiction According to the medical handbook Clinical Drug Data,

“addiction does not occur when these drugs are used for legitimate painful conditions.” ==

SICKENING: Taking Your Rights Away & Your Right To Defend Yourself, Even If You've Never Committed A Crime!

New Laws Force Drug Users Into Rehab Against Their Will~2017

Her only “crime,” Debra Hicks says, was having a bad reaction to her doctor-prescribed opioid medication. And a psychiatrist she’d never met involuntary committed her

Hicks claims she had been placed in five-point restraints and “forcibly and unwillingly subjected to the use of strong antipsychotic medications”

When Hicks attempted to leave the hospital—a full 24 hours after being released from the ER—she was chased down and brought back by local police and hospital security guards.

According to the National Alliance for Model State Drug Laws, 37 states already have statutes that allow substance abusers who have not committed a crime to be briefly detained against their will. In most cases the legal bar is high. Passing a new measure that allows individuals with substance abuse problems to be held up to 90 days against their will. Some with just "reasonable cause".

Meanwhile, detaining a person who has committed no crime based on what they might do in the future has potentially severe long-term repercussions.

“Involuntary commitment gives someone a lifelong marker that interferes with their ability to get health care coverage or OWN A FIREARM, and it could prevent them from getting certain jobs, like federal employment,” said Mary Catherine Roper, of the the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania.

Once a civil commitment is on a person’s record, Roper says, it’s nearly impossible to get it expunged.

Shingles causes a painful rash that may appear as a stripe of blisters on the trunk of the body. Pain can persist even after the rash is gone (this is called postherapetic neuralgia).

>>5861240

At its peak, my shingles pain was off the charts,” says Iverson. “The skin along the path of my rash felt like there was a hot cast iron skillet on me. My bones ached, and the pain would have been unendurable without medication.” His doctors immediately prescribed antiviral and pain medications which helped treat and heal his rash and pain.

PS…one should trust today's vaccines, like they trust politicians.

>>5861557

Sorry that you had to experience that…it can be really nasty. But my point is that chronic pain patients feel that way every day…and either they have had their pain meds dropped to a third, or their doctors have dropped them all together out of fear (which is real…doctors are going to prison for treating chronic pain patients.) and chronic pain patients have 2 choices…buy illegal drugs on the black market and risk a lethal dose of fentanyl or commit suicide to end the pain.

There is no doctor prescribed opioid epidemic, the CDC lied, Politicians lied …it is and always was an illegal heroin & illegal fentanyl flooding of the USA…

Exactly…no gun rights have been protected…in fact they made it easier to confiscate them. No rights have been restored, period.

Our rights and freedoms are not taken away overnight…there would be a revolt if they were. But our rights and freedoms have been eroded, watered down, striped of their essence bill after bill over the decades. Never to be restored.
