“In 2022, the CDC updatedthe guidelines after acknowledging that they had been misapplied.”
They are still being misapplied…and the harm to patients are not being tracked or addressed.

Earlier this year, my husband Abraham was diagnosed with a very rare bone cancer. This has been a challenging time for us and is hard to talk about. But so many of you have reached out asking how he’s doing, and sharing your prayers and well wishes with us. We made this video to share a little about what this journey has been like, and to update you on his recovery. Mahalo for all of the love and support 🙏🏽

Can we talk about the monthly hostage negotiation known as filling a legally prescribed full-agonist opioid?
Call too early to make sure everything is in order?
Suspicious.
Wait until the fill date?
Sorry, we’re out of stock.
Call another pharmacy?
Suspicious.
Don’t call around?
Risk reaching your fill date with no pharmacy able to fill it.
The prescription must arrive on precisely the correct day.
The pharmacy must have the exact medication and strength.
The prescriber must be reachable.
The insurance company must cooperate.
The calendar must align with weekends and holidays.
And the patient, who is allowed no meaningful cushion, must somehow coordinate all of it without appearing too concerned about the medication keeping them functional.
Then, every 30 days, a stable chronic-pain patient is treated like an entirely new and unexpected pharmaceutical emergency.
Continuity of care should not require a monthly obstacle course.
And planning ahead should not be mistaken for drug-seeking.

A couple of days ago I posted about a brand new NarxCare study, an FDA docket that is super important with a deadline of Aug 13, and how it all relates to our Citizen Petition to FDA regarding NarxCare.
I created a public post on Patreon explaining all of it, giving the links, and uploading pdfs of the information, including our petition.
Please let me know if you have any questions. This is really important.

Imagine a doctor tells you that you need heart medication. But they'll only be prescribing it at a 1/4 of the therapeutic dose that would keep you medically stable and ok.
This is happening to people in pain-only prescribed a fraction of the medicine they medically need to live.

If the Covid era taught us anything it is that the government should not be allowed to force their suspect ideas about health care onto free people. Gov is supposed to protect our inalienable rights, not remove them.

State-sanctioned pain patient torture and mass murder program still in progress, based on fraudulent claims about "prescription opioid medications!"

The easiest person to sacrifice in the opioid debate is the one already living in agony.
The people shaping this debate have microphones.
They have lobbyists.
They have conferences.
They have influence.
Pain patients have wheelchairs.
We have heating pads.
We have infusion chairs.
We have hospital bracelets.
We have bodies that demand every ounce of our strength just to survive another day.
We don’t have the luxury of spending our days walking the halls of Congress or state capitols.
So we write.
We post.
We tell our stories.
Year after year after year…
Yet where is the national leader willing to stand beside us?
Where is the physician with a national platform willing to risk criticism and say:
“People with legitimate, documented pain deserve individualized care, not medicine practiced through a legal lens instead of a clinical one.”
Pain patients are not acceptable collateral damage!

Here's what we know about the state-sanctioned pain patient torture and mass murder program:
• The FDA/NIH decided that informed consent for medical experimentation could be waived when the experiment posed "minimal risk;"
• Experimentation without informed consent began on the pain patient population at the VA and then expanded to the Medicare beneficiaries and then to the general population, to use "non-opioid alternatives" for pain treatment (except there ARE no effective "non-opioid alternatives;"
• The prohibitionist "addiction psychiatrists" helped label all pain patients on long-term opioid therapy as "addicts;"
• The government used the false narratives,manipulated data, and lies about "prescription opioid medications" to codify the need to use "non-opioid alternatives" to treat chronic pain (but this far has not FOUND any "non-opioid alternatives" that are effective;
• The DEA went crazy and decided that the definition of a controlled substance is "a substance that you cannot have anymore," and is ignoring the fact that these medications have legitimate medical uses for chronic, intractable, trauma, cancer, palliative, hospice, and surgical pain patients;
• The "public health emergency declaration in the opioid crisis" has allowed the health agencies and DEA to set aside any law they desire to proceed with their "public health initiatives.". These included inserting anti-opioid propaganda into medical school curriculums (unlawful, 42 USC § 1395), data-mining private patient data to find outliers who are prescribed more than what the government thinks is "excessive" (unlawful, HIPPA), prosecuting pain doctors for the "crime" of treating pain using "paid expert witness testimony" to convince Juries of guilt (unlawful, SCOTUs Decision in Ruan vs United States), and much more;
• Pain patients are now tortured, and are dying from medical complications, medical condition collapse, known increased risks of excessively high blood pressure that is non-responsive to BP meds, known increased risks of heart attack, stroke, and suicide after a forced-taper or loss of access to therapeutic doses of pain medications. Patient outcomes were NOT tracked when the agenda to restrict access to pain medication was rolled out, so we have no accurate data about the number of harms and deaths caused by these policies, although the evidence suggests that hundreds of thousands of patients may have died over the past decade as a direct result of these policies;
• No government official has responded in any way to repeated calls for reform, even though these policies have NOT reduced deaths from illicit fentanyl analog compound poisonings, the stated purpose of the policies. And the reason is that "prescription opioid medications" had nothing whatsoever to do with the parabolic rise in deaths from illicit drugs beginning in the early 2000's - the original Big Lie told to the public by the prohibitionists and captured health agencies;
• Dept of Health and Human Services has not responded in any way to the April 2025 filing of a legal Notice of a Request for Review of the Public Health Emergency Declaration in the Opioid Crisis, and has renewed that declaration twice since RFKJr was confirmed - and, has not returned the little green signature card from the post office from either the April 2025 filing or the resubmission Sept 30th, 2025;
• A District Court lawsuit will have to be filed in 2026 if we are unable to get the Dept of HHS to resolve our concerns about the corruption, false narratives, failure to protect patient safety, and all the rest of it - you can read the Notice here, which has numerous Sections that detail every known issue, problem, and LIE perpetrated by the health agencies upon the public -

CDC came out with the Opioid Prescribing Guidelines in March of 2016, Canada's Guidelines in November 2017. Pay attention to those dates, because this is something that has been hidden:
BC, Canada put the equivalent of US's CDC Guidelines into law in June of 2016 - well over a year before Canada's Guidelines were published and implemented. These "guidelines" (CDC) were codified as law in the province of British Columbia for two years, from June of 2016 to June 2018. They were repealed because there were too many suicides in the pain community. And yet, both the US and Canada moved forward in enacting the killing opioid prescribing guidelines, even with credible, irrefutable evidence of the serious harm to the pain population.
That's why Gov isn't tracking outcomes of the Guidelines - they already know disabled and Complex Pain patients are suffering and dying. We're disposable.
Prohibition is a multi-billion dollar industry. Pain? Costs too much, and you're saving people who will never "contribute" to society in any meaningful way again.

Ask the CDC why they stopped publishing data on suicides due to chronic pain in the US with a cutoff of 2014 in their 2018 report. They have since REFUSED to provide data they have the infrastructure to provide.
Why? Because their 2016 guidelines and bad data have killed a lot of people.

We have the huge gaping hole in the de-prescribing agenda of the health agencies refusing to track patient outcome. Now we know that the preliminary data showed the drastic increase of patient harm and death following the loss of access to proper, appropriate, clinically indicated pain medications. I now have the evidence I need that the health agencies' refusal to track patient outcome is deliberate and is meant to CONCEAL these patient harms and deaths from opioid de-prescribing. See you all in court.

A Pulitzer Prize awaits the journalist willing to break this story out into the mainstream - about the state-sanctioned pain patient torture and mass murder program still in progress, based on fraudulent claims about "prescription opioid medications" coming from inside the health agencies and their Advisory Committees - and they KNEW that the opioid de-prescribing agenda would cause harm and death to patients, yet they went ahead with it ANYWAY.
The continued refusal of the health agencies to track patient outcomes since the de-prescribing agenda was enacted is now PROVEN to be a deliberate CONCEALMENT of the numbers of harms and deaths caused to patients, because we now have evidence that they tracked patient outcome in a limited jurisdiction where these policies were implemented BEFORE the CDC Guidelines were published and before widespread implementation was carried out that showed drastic increase in patient deaths in that jurisdiction. An absolute national SCANDAL. Imagine, knowing that a "public health initiative" would cause widespread DEATH, yet carrying out that initiative ANYWAY. I have never seen anything like it in my entire life (other than the vaccine crimes). All based on FRAUDULENT claims about "prescription opioid medications!"
WE NEED LEGAL REPRESENTATION ASAP.
WE NEED CONGRESSIONAL ACTION ASAP.
WE NEED THE WHITE HOUSE TASK FORCE ON TOP OF THIS ASAP.
WE NEED THE FBI INVESTIGATING THE FRAUD BEHIND THESE POLICIES ASAP.

Start with Corey Mills in Florida, who is getting involved in the NO PAIN act and definitely getting money from the Journavx manufacturers through groups misrepresenting themselves as being grassroots groups.
He’s pretending opiates are overwhelmingly being offered to pain patients and purposely ensuring healthcare costs go up specifically to pay for patented, proprietary and non-generic medications that are proven to not be effective on their own and STILL require additional medication for breakthrough pain.
He’s part of the problem with both parties: they push costs up.

Dr. Richard Lawhern says:
"The ten minutes of public testimony captured by the Facebook posting distributed by Dr. Mark Ibsen (facebook.com/share/v/1DAdW8R…) offers what I find to be a good description for the state of the healthcare industry today. U.S. healthcare is a monopoly. It is run for the benefit of shareholders and corporate executives, not stakeholders. And its corporate structures fundamentally violate the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 and subsequent legal decisions that elaborate on that act for industries other than healthcare. Arguably, it may also violate the 10th Amendment of the US Constitution. But this has been allowed.
Isn't it time to ask who bribed our legislators? And who continues to do so via dark money campaign contributions? Follow the money!"

I suggest that EVERYONE use this letter, convert to into a Word file using free convert dot com, amend it to be addressed to YOUR Congressional Reps and Senators, and the two Committee members listed Guthrie and Cassidy, and file a request for a Congressional Inquiry about why patient outcome has not been tracked since the opioid restrictions were enacted:
