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.

SCAM ALERT SCAM ALERT

-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 much 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.

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.

Meanwhile, like a broken record, policymakers are intent on further reducing opioid prescriptions, as if that will do anything other than exacerbate matters. Forcing Chronic Pain Patients to live in Hell, buy them illegally or commit suicide. And Physicians are leaving their practice or dropping patients.

Columbia University researchers last month found evidence that the present restrictive opioid policy is not lowering overdose rates, but merely pushing non-medical users to more dangerous drugs, making patients suffer in the process. This comes after two earlier studies came to similar conclusions.

Doctors and patients are the wrong targets. When will the insanity end?

Psychiatrist Dr. Andrew J. Kolodny is a quack.

He is NOT qualified, licensed nor Board Certified in Pain Management that 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 drug therapy (the treatment drug for life) which is considered more addictive, worse side effects, are far worse withdrawal symptoms than RX opioids in addition to being more expensive.

Psychiatrist Dr. Andrew J. Kolodny, is the founder and Executive Director of PROP, an anti-opioid extremist on steriods, 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!

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!
