It is unbelievable and maddening how brazen the DOJ is now at criminalizing good, compassionate doctors. They have it down to a science. The right words—the propagandizing media—and a law-abiding citizen could become a convicted felon. Steven R. Henson, MD, 54, of Wichita, KS is another potential casualty in the illegal attacks on doctors. WE have to stop it!
Back in January, 2016, Dr. Henson was indicted on 31 counts of operating a “prescription drug operation”. The DOJ has turned the criminal code Title 21 or Controlled Substances Act against doctors instead of the foreign drug cartels it was designed for—for MONEY!! When they can create crime where there is no crime, against doctors, against investment firms like Enron, or accountant agencies like Arthur Andersen, who’s to say they won’t figure out a way to get you next? America—wake up!! In order to attack doctors with the CSA, they use the phrases like they used against Dr. Henson—“laundered funds”, “diverting prescription drugs to the streets”, “conspiracy to distribute” “unlawful distribution”. You see, they have to make the “crime” fit the “law”—in this case, the Controlled Substance Act.
Another problem is that the DOJ feeds the media with only what they want people to believe—to set the doctor up. In the media releases, Dr. Henson is described as a physician at the Kansas Men’s Clinic. Part of their plan is to turn public opinion by making them think that he was inappropriately writing controlled substances at a urological facility where opioids would not usually be necessary. But what they don’t tell you is that he also worked at a pain management clinic in another part of town, only identified on the indictment as “a location at 1861 N. Rock Road”. In order to try to force doctors into copping pleas, they also fabricate the worst possible charges. For example—the death of a patient. Just the idea of a possible 20 year sentence is enough to make most doctors, even though innocent, accept a plea of guilt. Just look at the list of physicians I have found that did just that here: https://doctorsofcourage.org/index.php/list-of-doctors-charged/. They’ve done that to Dr. Henson, charging him with the death of N.M. But what they don’t tell you is that N.M took all of his pills at once, including a prescription from another physician. Folks, this was purely an act of suicide, and no doctor is responsible for that. And how does the DOJ lie about this case? They claim in their indictment that Dr. Henson “diverted prescription drugs to the streets” causing his death. This label of a “street drug dealer” is how the DOJ uses the CSA against doctors, even though the prescription is received by a legitimate patient being evaluated by a practicing physician in his office. It is pure fabrication of a crime to fit the law. And yet the Supreme Court has stated, in Boyd v. U. S., the disputed question is whether the defendant issued the scripts in good faith in the course of his professional practice. The court stated that if they were issued in good faith “for the purpose of curing disease or relieving suffering”, the defendant should be acquitted.
In Jin Fuey Moy v. U. S., the phrases ‘to a patient’ and ‘in the course of his professional practice’ granted immunity to a registered physician in dispensing controlled drugs strictly in his professional practice. But the DOJ ignores that in District Court, and the Supreme Court turns a blind eye to what is going on, because this illegal activity is reaping billions of dollars in forfeited assets. Doctors spend up to 10 years in school, only to have everything they finally are able to earn be confiscated by a crooked Justice Department.
And then there is the standard “confidential source” or undercover agent—someone who fraudulently poses as a patient. The DOJ comes to court after the fact and saying that doctors are treating people “without legitimate purpose” because these fakes don’t really need the pills they are prescribed. But doctors aren’t mind-readers. These “fakes” give a history of pain as their primary complaint. So are doctors now supposed to consider every new patient as a liar, or be guilty of a criminal act? Come on, people! Get real! The primary doctor/patient relationship is one of trust. Without that, a doctor can’t practice.
Dr. Henson is also indicted for the alleged actions of some of his patients who allegedly sold some of their prescribed medications. Again, doctors don’t have crystal balls and can’t be responsible for what people do with their legitimately prescribed medication.
Another standard MO of the DOJ is to attack how the doctor charges for visits. This is a “damned if you do and damned if you don’t. If you take insurance, as Drs. Couch and Ruan in Mobile, Alabama, they charge you with insurance fraud with “unnecessary billing”. And if you don’t take insurance so that you can be affordable to everyone (because insurance dictates that all patients must be billed the same amount), then they charge you with “illegal drug trafficking and money laundering” by using the term “cash-paying patients” in court like that is a crime.
So now, a word to you citizens of Kansas. It is my prayer that Dr. Henson maintains his innocence and that you see through these illegal charges. Fill the courtroom with support. Don’t believe what the media tell you. They are simply the government propaganda machine.
Addendum
March, 2019, Steven Henson, MD was convicted of unlawfully distributing drugs, even though they were for legitimate patients with pain. He was sentenced to life in prison. He can only be released by the country realizing that no drug causes addiction, get the laws changed, and get all doctors convicted of prescribing opioids and other controlled substances released and exonerated. Join the fight. We are taking these atrocities of human rights violations to the United Nations. Join us.
Thanks to the Supreme Court Decision in Ruan and Kahn, Dr. Henson’s conviction was reversed. Thanks to the efforts of his lawyer, Beau Brindley, Dr. Henson is now released from prison, a free man with no record. May more doctors receive this blessing.
Anyone in communication with him, please tell him to work on forgiveness and when he is ready, join us in the effort to restore humanity to the nation.
Addendum from the author:
I have failed in my mission to end these attacks on doctors and pain patients. Through John Bevere’s book The Bait of Satan, I have figured out why—my lack of forgiveness to those who attacked me. As in Mark 11: 24-26:
“Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.”
And when you do not do the will of the Father, you are estranged from him and he will ignore you. So we all must forgive the agents who attacked us in order for things to be made right through any of our works.
Jesus said
“Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”
But we cannot lay down our lives for God unless we know Him well enough to trust Him. We must have the assurance that He would never do anything to harm us. He always looks out for what He knows is in our best interest. As a nation, those of us suffering from these attacks must understand that we are serving as God’s messengers of love. We must forgive those who persecute us and love them instead, following God’s will for us. Then and only then will we see fruits from our labor.
So I hope that everyone who has suffered from what happened to the doctor can trust the Lord, forgive those who have hurt you, and help bring this country back to the God-fearing country that our forefathers founded. Then, and only then, can you be a part of the effort to stop these attacks. I look forward to that day.

Hey Dr Henson!
First, I want you to know that I have always had the upmost respect for you. The best DOC I’ve ever served with. Watching you with staff & patients! I am honored to have served you in caring for patients & being a part of your staff. You were relentless on my political views but we always had fun with Hillary. Just know I would LOVE to see a woman as President!! 😊 You would be proud of me for waking up to the evil in our government agendas & how much I’ve grown in educating myself with current political issues. I still can’t believe that you are in this situation. It is hard for me to know what you & your family are going through. This is injustice. You should’ve never been convicted. Somebody’s career advanced from this injustice.
Second, know that I remembered our crazy political conversations we joked about that turned into ER unit overall conversation. Mike is NOT my boyfriend lol! His self love is over top. I am so sorry that you are where you are. I am writing Kansas at tourney general & President Trump to have your case looked into. I believe you were wrongfully convicted. God bless you & your family.
I was a patient of Dr.Henson he seemed to me a very concerned doctor. Making sure I was able to move during the day. I have had 5 back surgery. And just to get up and move was difficult. At the time I was sure glad Dr. Henson was there for me.
Dr Hensen is a great person and I’d be his patient if I were there. He is a wonderful person and I’d go to bats for him w what I know. He is a wonder Christian . God Bless you Dr Henson .
Dr. Henson is at Leavenworth USP. His address is:
Steven R Henson #27550-031
USP Leavenworth
U.S. PENITENTIARY
P.O. BOX 1000
LEAVENWORTH, KS 66048
I’m sure Dr. Henson would appreciate hearing from his patients and supporters. Write letters on plain paper. They might be one of those prisons that copy the letter and give the resident the copy. That is to stop the trafficking of fentanyl soaked on paper into the prison. Can you believe that putting people in prison for drugs hasn’t stopped drug abuse? Even prisoners get drugs.
I am a pain patient of 12 years, a veteran disabled by a botched spine surgery. The VA, bowing to pressure from lawmakers in a knee-jerk reaction to media stories of “vets strung out on opioids,” discontinued nearly all veterans off opioids, myself included. I sought out a private pain clinic to take over my care, but now they have also abandoned me. Where do I turn? I can’t live with this pain unchecked.
I’m sorry for your predicament. Keep looking for a pain clinic. But remember covering the pain does not get to the cause of the pain. Neither does spinal surgery. Try to find a prolotherapist in your area. That procedure can get to the cause. You can learn more about prolo on my website http://www.sevenpillarstotalhealth.com or http://www.caringmedical.com (Dr. Hauser in Chicago). I also have a DVD available on it, or if you can get a group of people (maybe vets in your area) that would be interested, I can do a webinar on it. For immediate pain, you could try Arnica montana homeopathic.
If your in or near Lexington Kentucky there’s a fantastic doctor named Timmothy Mimms. If you don’t live there or near it maybe you can call one of the airplane charities. I’ve used Angel Flight East and they are just amazing people. I have CRPS and doctor that doesn’t understand it. I’ve been in unbearable pain for 10 years with a pump that’s not up high enough to work. This might be my next step too if my lung and heart doctors think I have more than 3 months left. I hope this helped you.
It is all about money. NOT justice. Keep letting the public know what is going on.
First they came for the mentally ill addicts, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a mentally ill addict.
Then they came for the empathetic prescribers, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not an empathetic prescriber.
Then they came for the Pharmacists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Pharmacist.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me
Thank you Dr Cheek.
You are the Joan of Arc of medicine.
