(MYRTLE BEACH) CNN has been accused by the U.S. Pain Foundation, a lobbying group for pharma in catering to the needs of chronic pain patients in their use of long term opioids, at stigmatizing the pain patients. Paul Gileno, Founder and President of the foundation was “deeply troubled and disappointed by the one-sided, biased discussion surrounding pain medication that completely disregarded the voices of people living with debilitating pain” during the broadcast.

Over 28 Million Africans have been enslaved in the Muslim world during the past 14 centuries While much has been written concerning the Transatlantic slave trade, surprisingly little attention has been given to the Islamic slave trade across the Sahara, the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean.
While the European involvement in the Transatlantic slave trade to the Americas lasted for just over three centuries, the Arab involvement in the slave trade has lasted fourteen centuries, and in some parts of the Muslim world is still continuing to this day. A comparison of the Muslim slave trade to the American slave trade reveals some interesting contrasts.
Corruption in the FDA worsens as child death toll mounts in drug epidemic
Robert Rappaport, MD,
The corrupt behavior of the FDA’s employees is begging for an investigation.

(MYRTLE BEACH) On November 10, 2014 I wrote an article for Global News Centre regarding Robert Rappaport, MD, Division Director of Anesthesia, Analgesia and Addiction Products retirement from the FDA http://www.globalnewscentre.com/bob-rappaport-md-division-director-of-anesthesia-analgesia-and-addiction-products-at-fda-retires/#sthash.oHFov3R7.dpbs. One of Dr. Rappaport’s biggest “contributions” to the American people before the FDA announced his retirement was approval of an opioid called Zohydro ER. Zohydro ER was the first hydrocodone-only opioid in doses of 5 to 10 times more heroin-like narcotic than Vicodin. The FDA disregarded their own Advisory Committee who voted 11-2 not to approve the opioid because of the Committee’s concerns about the potential impact on public health. How could the FDA approve Zohydro ER when there is no abuse deterrent built into the drug so when it is crushed, chewed or mixed with alcohol — the high probability of death exists? Didn’t the FDA violate their own directive that opioids would only be approved by them if there were a built-in abuse preventative in the drug?
Evolution of Soul: A Journey Through Poetry

Toney’s style is a blend of Free-versing, Slam, Spoken word, and Traditional. In his first collection, Author Toney’s book “Evolution of Soul: A Journey Through Poetry”, his verses splatter a metaphoric mind pictorial, painting visuals of love, consciousness, sensuality, darkness, inspiration, and more. Indeed, there are parallel subjects from similar poets, both historical and modern day; however, Toney’s perspectives are inked in an assortment of American vernaculars depicting his own life’s journey.
