Photo ops with a Surgeon General exposed for a bogus report will do nothing to slow down the deaths to prescription opioid “addiction” — and yes that is the disease killing your kids.

(MYRTLE BEACH) Recently President Trump relieved the Surgeon General of his prestigious position within the administration.  Many supporters of Dr. Murthy were unhappy with Trump’s decision.  After all a report had been issued entitled “Facing Addiction in America - The Surgeon General’s Report on Alcohol, Drugs, and Health”.  Considering that the Obama administration all but ignored the massive prescription opioid epidemic in the country, Murthy actually issuing a report was monumental.  So too was the length of the report — approximately 500 pages.

I went through the trouble of printing out and actually reading the Surgeon General’s report.  It was tedious, but I had to read for myself how Dr. Murthy was going to tackle the insurmountable destruction of life to the prescription opioid epidemic.  This was a priority to me in my 15 years of research, writing and exposing the criminal activity as relates to this epidemic.  What new information was in this report and what action was going to be taken immediately to at least slow down the epidemic?  I came away frustrated, but with a reaffirmation that this horrific epidemic generates massive revenue for many people, politicians and organizations.

Since the title of the Surgeon General’s report was “Facing Addiction in America” and the “non-profit” organization entitled “Facing Addiction” was quick to take credit for collaborating with the Surgeon General on the report, I read furiously.

My interest, of course, was peaked because I had written about the organization entitled “Facing Addiction” and their founding pioneer, George Soros.  Many know that Soros has been referred to as the most evil man in the world and has promoted the legalization of all drugs in the U.S. — legal and illegal.  So why would the Surgeon General be associated with an organization founded by Soros? Maybe President Trump questioned it also.  Here is a link to my article on this “non-profit” http://www.globalnewscentre.com/george-soros-evil-destroyer-of-us-and-his-contribution-to-partnership-for-drug-free-kids-and-facing-addiction-non-profit-organizations/#sthash.xdsAkZ1Y.dpbs.

So all you supporters of Dr. Murthy who were impressed with his report, ask yourselves these questions.  Is addiction considered a disease?  Is substance use disorder considered a disease?

If you need to know, the primary difference between suffering from a substance use disorder and addiction, it is that a person can have a use disorder without being addicted to a substance.  Confused? Well don’t feel bad, obviously the Surgeon General was also confused while collaborating with “Facing Addiction” and writing this bogus report.  Remember “addiction” is the disease just as cancer is a disease and diabetes is a disease.  They are not referred to as disorders.

In the Surgeon General Report and the Soros founded “Facing Addiction” report, the word “addiction” appears 462 times.  The word “addictive” 90 times.  The term “substance use” appears 1,328 times and the word “abuse” appears 568 times.  Remember addiction is the disease not substance use or abuse.

LP - green is not your color - Kermit green and Brains green is.  For all the love, faith, fun and surprise dips in the lake, I love you.

Global News Centre’s Marianne Skolek, is an Investigative Reporter who focuses on the Prescription Opioid/Heroin Epidemic in the U.S. and Canada. In particular, Marianne has covered the criminal marketing of OxyContin going back to 1999 and continuing to the present.

In 2002, Marianne lost her daughter, Jill to prescribed OxyContin which her physician referred to as “mobility in a bottle.” It was, in fact, death in a bottle. After doing extensive research on the maker of OxyContin, Purdue Pharma, Marianne began working with the Department of Justice in Virginia in their criminal investigation into Purdue Pharma and in July 2007 was asked by the U.S. Attorney John Brownlee prosecuting the case to testify against the three CEO’s of Purdue Pharma, Michael Friedman, Paul Goldenheim, MD and Howard Udell, Chief Counsel. The CEO’s pleaded guilty to misleading the medical profession about the dangers of OxyContin. Marianne also testified against Purdue Pharma at a Judiciary Hearing of the U.S. Senate in July 2007.

In addition, a dangerous and highly addictive opioid named Zohydro has been approved by the FDA against their Advisory Committee’s advice and Marianne continues to alert Attorneys General, Senators and Congressmen as to the FDA’s irresponsibility in the out of control prescription opioid/heroin epidemic killing and addicting in the tens of thousands each year. Zohydro has been referred to as “heroin in a capsule” and its lowest dosage (10mg) contains twice as much hydrocodone as found in a Vicodin pill. The highest single dose of Zohydro contains as much hydrocodone as 5 to 10 tablets of Vicodin or Lortab. Zohydro mixed with alcohol can be fatal and has no abuse deterrent built in which will make it easy to crush and deliver a fatal dose of the opioid.

Currently Marianne has been instrumental in calling for the termination of Margaret Hamburg, MD, Commissioner of the FDA as well as Bob A. Rappaport, MD and Douglas Throckmorton, MD for their lack of commitment to safeguarding the American public against the prescription opioid/heroin epidemic. Marianne’s research, writing and contact with government agencies and attorneys has also exposed the heavily funded pain foundations set up by the pharmaceutical industry and their paid physician spokespersons who convinced the medical boards in 50 states and Canada that dangerous opioids such as OxyContin were less likely to be addictive. These physicians — in particular Scott Fishman, MD, J. David Haddox, DDS, MD, Perry Fine, MD, Lynn R. Webster, MD, Russell Portenoy, MD also downplayed the risks of addictive opioids in books as authors. These books are still available for sale and promoted to the medical profession.

Here are links to Marianne’s involvement in exposing the national conspiracy of the prescription opioid/heroin epidemic, the FDA, the pharmaceutical industry, their pain foundations and paid physician spokespersons.
