Vice President Harris,
There is something you must do, not only to ensure winning the election, but to not be a hypocrite.  Your message has been that the government should stay out of control of our body and out of the doctor’s office.  You say this in connection with the abortion issue.  But there is another issue that is much broader and more devastating.  And, in fact, you’ve been a party to it in the past.  That is the War on Drugs.  You also need to support the repeal of the Controlled Substance Act.  No drug causes addiction. The War on Drugs was simply a racist agenda to disenfranchise minorities.  However, in the last 20 years it has been turned against good, compassionate medical practitioners treating legitimate patients, simply to confiscate their assets and give the government agents their salaries. This must end. President Biden spoke about the freeing of innocent citizens when he made the deal with Russia to release 7 prisoners recently.  But we, in America, have incarcerated hundreds of thousands of innocent citizens, ruining their lives and those of their families, destroying people for generations to come.  Please don’t be a hypocrite.  Put in your platform the repeal of the Controlled Substance Act and the exoneration of all those attacked illegally by the government based on what they do to their own body.

Here is a list of almost 100 medical professionals whose life you affected illegally, even to the point of death. As you can see, most of those targeted are minorities. And the repercussions will affect their progeny for four generations due to the stress in their lives.

As part of the DOJ, you know that they work now on a “Do whatever works to win” agenda, including illegal misconduct such as creating a crime that doesn’t exist, forced perjury, withholding exculpatory evidence, and actual law-breaking.  You were probably even part of that as the Attorney General.  After all, it got you the Senate seat.  But this immoral, undemocratic behavior must end. And if it continues, there must be repercussions.  To that end, you should add to your platform the removal of actual or implied immunity from government officials who break the law.

Vice President Harris,

On Sept 4, a 14 y/o boy went on a shooting rampage at a Georgia high school. The cause of this behavior can be explained.  It is the same cause as the increase in addiction and other chronic diseases in the country and the world.  It is explained though my videos on www.doctorsofcourage.org/videos.

The cause of these increases in abnormal behavior in the world is toxicity.  It isn’t explained through conventional medicine and cannot be cured with conventional medicine.  It is explained through the most scientific medicine ever studied, but we in America ignore it.  The science is homeopathy. I also explain this in my videos.

Attacking guns isn’t the answer.  Sick people will find a gun.  Just like attacking abortion isn’t the answer. Women with unwanted pregnancies will find an abortion doctor in a back alley, like it was 50 years ago.

If you would recognize the things I’ve passed on to you, the freedom of choice when it comes to drugs, food, drink, etc., and the importance of learning more about how toxicity affects our health and future, you could win a lot of votes.

If you need more information from me on this, I would be happy to give you a personal presentation.

Aug 23:

I am a representative of Doctorsofcourage.org and represent a large population in your state, of doctors illegally attacked for treating legitimate pain and patients now suffering and dying because of illegal government overreach into medicine. It is imperative that Democrats take over the House, and we want to support you.

I can tell you a way to gather the majority of your state voters around you. Democrats are rallying around the cry of reproductive freedom for women, saying that the government has no right to decide what a woman does with her own body.  We say there is even a more important area of freedom that has been usurped by the government. That is the freedom of every American to decide what to eat, drink, or smoke.

The War on Drugs is unconstitutional, and we need you to stand on that for your campaign. The War on Drugs has created the black market, the poisonous illicit drugs, the overdoses, and the border crisis.  All of these problems will end with the legalization of all drugs in addition to the savings of billions of taxpayer dollars chasing the rabbits. Learn from prohibition. If you will stand on ending the use of the Controlled Substance Act against physicians and pain patients, you will win the election.

If you need to understand that no drug causes addiction, to fight the propaganda created by previous Republican administrations, you can find the truth on our website. I do hope that you use this to achieve a win so that we can create a democratic Congress that will then pass laws to end the government overreach in medicine, for the future of this country and the world.  Thank you.

 

Sept 6, 2024

On Sept 4, a 14 y/o boy went on a shooting rampage at a Georgia high school. The cause of this behavior can be explained.  It is the same cause as the increase in addiction and other chronic diseases in the country and the world.  It is explained though my videos on www.doctorsofcourage.org/videos.

The cause of these increases in abnormal behavior in the world is toxicity.  It isn’t explained through conventional medicine and cannot be cured with conventional medicine.  It is explained through the most scientific medicine ever studied, but we in America ignore it.  The science is homeopathy. I also explain this in my videos.

Attacking guns isn’t the answer.  Sick people will find a gun.  Just like attacking abortion isn’t the answer. Women with unwanted pregnancies will find an abortion doctor in a back alley, like it was 50 years ago.

If you would recognize the things I’ve passed on to you, the freedom of choice when it comes to drugs, food, drink, etc., and the importance of learning more about how toxicity affects our health and future, you could win a lot of votes. 

If you need more information from me on this, I would be happy to give a personal presentation to a group of 10 interested people, or more.

Democrats can’t be hypocrites. Declaring “freedom” and “get the government out of the doctor’s office” when innocent doctors are in prison cells and patients are dying doesn’t cut it. So let’s get on the freedom train for ALL!  We must end the War on Drugs, repeal the CSA, exonerate all those illegally attacked by the government through unconstitutional attack. No drug causes addiction. The constitution does not give the federal government control of our body. Learn the truth on Doctorsofcourage(dot)org.

 Sept 6:

Please learn the REAL Cause of Drug Abuse because it is also the cause of the increased gun violence and other abnormal behavior problems we now face in America. We must accept this knowledge and learn the solution. Chasing gun restriction isn’t the answer. Putting 14 y/o boys in prison for life isn’t the answer. Getting to the cause and treating it before violence occurs is the answer. We hold the key on DoC.

Ryan Melton: Thanks for sharing!  I have posted on my socials regarding the failure and bad intentions of the war on drugs, and certainly support reproductive rights and the legalization/decriminalization of marijuana, so it seems like we’re on the same page.
Blaine Miller:  I agree
Adrienne Selena of Walworth County Dems:  You make a passionate argument for reforming drug policies and protecting individual freedoms. Here’s a summary of your points:

1. Consistency in advocating for freedom and limited government intervention.
2. Concern for doctors imprisoned and patients harmed due to current drug policies.
3. Call to end the War on Drugs and repeal the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
4. Exonerate those unjustly targeted by the government.
5. Emphasis that drug addiction is not caused by substances, but rather complex factors.
6. Assertion that the Constitution does not grant the federal government control over individuals’ bodies.

You also recommend (link unavailable) as a resource for learning more about these issues. I’m here to provide information and facilitate discussions. If you have specific questions or need help finding resources, feel free to ask!

We, Doctors and Patients of Courage, represent the 100 million Americans who have legitimate pain or the doctors who are trying to treat them. We are looking for legislators—of which you could be one—who will put the country’s interest over his/her own. As a newly-elected representative, we would like to help you understand a major problem the government has caused. We are asking you to help fix the ignorance of the government and the standard jumping into a quagmire of ineffective solutions that they are so good at creating. The problem, as we see it, is one of money. More money is being spent than is being recovered, but the organizations recovering the money spread the lies and throw the blame on others, to justify their own existence.

We are throwing money away because of a government-created, fake “crisis” with the only intent of making money for special interest law enforcement groups and agencies. Read Ronald Libby’s masterpiece “The Criminalization of Medicine” and learn the history of what you have walked into. Learn the truth on www.doctorsofcourage.org. The government is

actually creating addiction by the increased anxiety of legitimate patients who need legitimate medicines to maintain a quality of life. We can give you the information on how government ignorance and mishandling of the facts is actually creating the problem you are attempting to control, and won’t with your current methods. The centuries-old percentage of addiction has always been 1%. It was 1% when the fake government agencies decided to criminalize the legitimate use of opioids in the 1990’s. It is now climbing (slightly, to 1.3%) due to government-created anxiety (the #1 acidifier of the body) in legitimate patients now being tortured with lack of treatment.

Please become a supporter of stopping this never-ending waste of taxpayer’s money. Learn what WILL work. Stop destroying the lives of 33% of the citizens over the 1% that you aren’t helping anyway. Learn how you can help be learning the REAL cause of Addiction and Drug Abuse, which can be seen on a video on https://www.doctorsofcourage.org/videos/.

Linda Cheek, MD, the president of Doctors of Courage, is happy to speak to any group that would like to get together to work on what will really solve the problem. Her website is www.lindacheekmd.com

Tips for Writing Your Patient Testimony (PT):

We ARE being judged – although affected by our pain or disability, we may be thought to be impaired by ‘drugs’ if our letters are rambling, lengthy or off topic.

• Be brief as possible, polite, clear, concise.
• Explain your pain condition/diagnosis – 3 or 4 which most affect your life
• Discuss failed treatments: PT, OT, Chiro, Devices, Surgeries, Procedures, etc,
• Non opioids ineffective – Nsaids, mood stabilizers, anti epileptics, etc
• Discuss how your function/life affected – work, driving, chores, entertainment, self care, travel, finance, family, etc.
• Explain all treatments, non opioids failed and medication/PM was a last resort and that you are incurable and your condition will likely worsen with aging
• Mention if inadequate pain control has been detrimental to your health – high BP, stroke, other physiological problems.
• Share how you have been a model patient on a strict pain contract with regular UAs, pill counts, utilizing one pharmacy, etc.
• Explain if you have to travel long distances, difficulties with paying for additional appointments and pharmacy co-pays
• If cut from meds/dropped by doctor – explain the above and how your function and life has been affected
• If you still have meds, discuss what your function/life would be like without
• Please do NOT use the words ‘drugs’, ‘narcotics’ or ‘addicts’. It’s been suggested to us that we use ‘people with addiction’. *Avoid ‘opioid’ or ‘opiate’ when possible, using ‘pain reliever’ or ‘pain relief’. Try not to use acronyms (UA, PM, etc.) as others may not understand.

To all letter writers, the guidelines above were about patient testimonies. What we are communicating may be a little different.
Think of WHO you’re writing and what you’re trying to convey to them while remembering, in the guidelines above, the basic rules that must apply, ex.(no profanity, clear & concise, not too lengthy). If you’re mentioning your diseases or injuries don’t write a novel. State the main ones and move on, or you risk losing the reader.

Remember that this first letter will be the most difficult to compose. It may take some time to think about what you’re trying to convey.
But once you’re done, the hard part is over. If you compose this on your computer or phone SAVE YOUR WORK!!
Then with the next target, if changes are needed, it’s easy to change it and SAVE!
In the above guidelines where it’s telling you how to write a testimony, for this project you may want to do that or you may have other information you’re trying to convey.

Here is a letter by Heather on Medium that is worth copying and using by both chronic pain patients and professionals.  I would break it down, however, and send it in several separate letters. A letter this long would not be read by health staff or the legislator.  Put the main point you want to get across in the first paragraph. Then expand on it, but not more than a page long.

An Open Letter To All Who Hold Public Office in America From Painful Disease Patients

Described by Doug Marsh of Chronic Pain Sufferer Rights Leadership Commission. Feel free to use any of these descriptions in your letters to Congress.

 

Chronic Pain touches us all in so many different ways.

Physical Effects

Far too often after an illness or pain caused by an injury, we believe the treatment or therapy originally given to us has cured us. But then later on down the road the pain starts again, most of the time as a dull and periodic annoyance, just slightly more irritating than a common headache or another pain we might take an Aspirin for. As time progresses this inconvenience starts to become a more noticeable annoyance happening more and more frequently. To deal with this pain we start taking more and stronger over-the-counter pain relievers like Ibuprofen, Tylenol and Aleve to deal with this irritation or simply just to do our jobs, or even play with our children.

Eventually, the irritating pain starts becoming an interference effecting how we all do even simple tasks like making the bed or carrying out the garbage or even taking a walk. We start do things like favoring different parts of our bodies, posturing or carrying ourselves differently in an attempt to feel less pain. Most of the time we do not even realize that we are walking bent over or slouching while we are standing or sitting. All we know is that we don’t hurt as much at this time.

Next this interference caused by our pain starts to become a disruption, effecting our lives in various ways until one morning we wake up and can’t move without experiencing excruciating pain. We start missing work or backing out of social activities because we just don’t feel well enough to participate. We don’t know what’s happening to us—all we know is that the pain we are feeling has been getting worse every day.

Our employers start to become disappointed with our performance along with our work attendance and we can’t explain it to them. Now, every aspect of our lives has become difficult and our abilities and actions become more difficult and life itself is interrupted. What was once a reflex or a simple action now takes thought and planning to do because we want to avoid the pain every action now causes.

We want answers. We want an explanation other than “as we get older our aches and pains get worse”. So we seek the explanation by going to doctor after doctor to have tests done and seek relief.  We subject ourselves to torture simply to find out what is causing our everyday pain. We are jabbed to the bone with needles that they then put an electrical current though in order to test our nervous systems. We are given steroid and epidural injections, spinal cord stimulator implants and other surgical procedures in an attempt to alleviate the pain and get our lives back to normal. Then, after all that fails we are prescribed everything from massive amounts of ibuprofen, gabapentin or Lyrica to opioid pain medications to manage our pain. But still no one can fix our ailments or injuries. Finally we succumb to our ailment or injury because we have come to the realization that pain now controls our lives.

Financial Effects

For years we took pride in our jobs and worked as hard as possible to get raises and promotions. We always showed up to work, even sick at times because we had families to support. There is no way we will ever ask them to go without.

Then one day our pain starts causing us to miss work, or it starts effecting our job performance. Our paychecks start suffering and our medical bills start adding up. We have family medical leave (FMLA) and short term disability, but that starts running out after 90 days. So we beg our doctors to release us and attempt to return to work so we don’t lose our jobs.

What we find out is that these injections and surgical procedures that were supposed to alleviate our pain only succeeded in making it worse and we start having to go home early and calling off work once again. Then when our employers can no longer afford to carry us anymore, we lose our jobs.

So now we have lost our employer sponsored health insurance, our income, and our sense of self-worth. Our pain won’t allow us to work and we have to go to court and fight tooth and nail for what is rightfully ours. Our Social Security Disability that we have paid into for all the years we were in the workforce often takes years to get. So now we are disabled, have no income and no health insurance. Our medical bills are adding up, and we have spent through our savings nest eggs or cashed in our 402k retirement, but still we have to wait on the federal government for our SSDI and do back flips through hoops to get what is rightfully ours. We are both physically and financially broken at this time.

Emotional effects

Because we are stubborn, we refuse to let pain slow us down. We stay positive and hopeful even though we are miserable. We force ourselves out of bed every day and go to work in agony. While at work, we put on our best, “I’m ok face and work through the pain but fight internally with ourselves daily on how much longer we can work.

We are gullible by believing and going through painful and expensive testing, along with surgical procedures that are supposed to make our lives great again.
We see the ads on television and we believe what pain doctors tell us about miracle surgeries and magical implants so we agree to it all.
We are embarrassed by being taken by these doctors who promise us a pain free future.
We start feeling helpless when we can’t work anymore because of our pain. Our desperation grows when we can’t earn the money to pay our bills.
We get depressed and we start feeling as if we are letting our families down.
We feel inadequate and irritated because we have to spend our life savings to put a dent in the medical bills. Then we feel anger at ourselves and depressed because we feel we are the cause of all the above.
Finally beaten by the pain, the financial and the emotional problems caused by our pain, we accept our future no matter what the outcome.
We are entirely broken now and totally unsure of our future.
Our bank accounts suffer and our relationships are stressed. Our lives are in complete turmoil and we are finding out that few really care.

Here is a copy of a letter that can be modified to fit your needs and sent to your representatives:

(To whom it may concern)
Dear____

My name is ______ and I am writing this letter on behalf of myself and the countless others I am connected with who also suffer from Chronic Pancreatitis (ChP). According to Dr. David Whitcomb from the University of PA, Chronic pancreatitis is more painful than cancer, diabetes, and most other chronic illnesses. I have suffered from this disease due to gallstones for 14 years and I can attest to the debilitating level of pain it incurs. But more than just pain, ChP affects other organs sharing nerves with the heart and a blood supply with the spleen.

Any time we have a flare it can mean death for those of us who suffer with pancreatitis. We also suffer with mal-nutrition, PTSD and many have other conditions like GERD, diabetes, etc as well.
There is no curative treatment for pancreatitis other than transplant surgery which is not covered by most insurance companies. Controlling the symptoms is the only way to have ANY quality of life I no longer have the pain relief needed to allow me to function even in the most minimal part time job. every day,. I am actively being harmed by the unscientific and biased treatment standards being forced on my doctors, insurance companies and pharmacies by both the federal and state levels of government. I want to live a productive life despite the challenge of a very painful disease. However, my quality of life has been taken away from me due to government overreach. The current “opioid epidemic” has been vastly mischaracterized and misdirected in the dominant public narrative.

The federal government, in deciding to stop people from becoming addicted to opioids, has chosen to make it extremely difficult for people with chronic pain conditions to continue getting the very medications that make life tolerable and worth living. There are many politicians and government departments who have made our lives miserable. For example, the CDC has written opioid treatment guidelines which are now known to be fraudulent. (Cite?) The guidelines were based on “research” that was deliberately biased to over-emphasize the real risks of treating chronic pain with opioids (Cite?). Thus, it denied the reality that opioids are currently the MOST effective means of safely and reliably treating millions of people who would otherwise be totally disabled by pain.

The guidelines are also being enshrined in highly restrictive state laws with a record of malicious and unwarranted prosecution of doctors by the DEA. (Cite) The DEA has completely ruined the “doctor-patient relationship” that I used to receive in treating my painful disease. Now doctors fear for their licenses instead of caring for patients. The FDA and Dept. of Health & Human Services have also become involved in this travesty. There are legislators and lobbyists that have become involved as well, and all of them are directly responsible for denial of effective pain management to tens of thousands of patients. Chronic pain patients are being involuntary denied medications that have been effective and safe for them for decades. They face reluctant doctors, wary pharmacists and insurance companies, and the frequent demand to prove that they are not addicts.

Suicides due to overwhelming pain have already happened and more are anticipated. (Give examples) It is not fair to punish one group of society in an effort to improve another group that chooses to abuse the medications we need to live our lives in a productive way. Our lives literally depend on these medications to function. All of this has also caused undue financial stress on an already stressful situation which intensifies our symptoms. My last Urine Analysis was $1500.00, twice a year makes it $3000.00 more on top of an already tight budget. It is $220.00 every time I walk into my pain specialist office. In addition, now my state wants to make us get our medications filled every 7 days which again places undue financial burden upon my family as well as stress on my already weary body. We are not criminals, we are only seeking relief from severe pain.

It is my plea that you do everything possible to stop the war against chronic pain patients immediately. The only ethically and medically sound way forward is immediate withdrawal of the CDC guidelines. They then need to be immediately replaced by better qualified stakeholder groups including both pain management specialists and chronic pain patients. The DEA should also be required by Congress to cease prosecution of doctors whose only “crime” is an attempt to serve the medical needs of their patients.

I have been advocating for and supporting those with chronic pain for 10 years and it is my conviction that those who have no experience suffering from debilitating pain have no right legislate pain management restrictions. Because for us, it is not about getting high, it is about getting by.

Meeting with your members of congress is one of the most effective ways that you can influence the legislative process. Members are more likely to support positions that their constituents feel strongly about, and there is no better way to display your passion for an issue than by taking the time to have a face-to-face meeting. This is especially important on issues where the opposition, such as the Department of Justice and DEA, is lobbying strongly against legislation you support, or on issues that are relatively new, complex, and sometimes controversial, such as the “opioid crisis” where there is an opportunity to educate policy makers. Meeting with your legislators can be easy and fun. You can meet one-on-one or you can plan a meeting with other activists in your area.

Setting up a meeting

1. Plan, Plan, Plan. If you are willing to invest the time to get a face-to-face meeting with your legislator, be willing to think through what you hope to accomplish from the meeting and how best to go about reaching your goal. Consider what issue you most want to focus on and what your main message on this issue is. What is your legislator’s position on that issue and what do you want your legislator to do after the meeting? It is also important to consider whether having other people join you in the meeting would help you to convey your main message. Bring any relevant materials regarding your topic to leave behind.
2. Find a date and location. If you are meeting with a federal legislator, you will need to find out when your legislator is back in the district. Check their website for the most current information about when they are on recess. If you plan to meet with a state or local legislator, be sure to check their website for details about where the office is.
3. Request the meeting.Your request for a meeting should be initiated by mailing or faxing a letter to the legislator’s scheduler. Call the local office and ask for the names of the legislator’s scheduler. Next, fax or mail a letter requesting a meeting, putting it to the attention of the scheduler. You should indicate how flexible you are with the time of the meeting, as this will increase your chances of getting a meeting during busier days. In a toggle below there is a sample meeting request letter
4. Follow-up by phone. Within 24 hours of sending the fax or when you think the letter will have arrived, call the scheduler and confirm his or her receipt of the note. If you have not heard back in three to four days, call the scheduler again and ask if a meeting has been arranged.

 

Additional tips and resources

1. Consider meeting with the health issues staff person. If the legislator is unavailable to meet, you could actually benefit by meeting with the health issues staff person instead, especially as more people join the cause and also communicate with him/her. The health issues staff person is the office “expert” on the issue and thus has influence with the legislator. If you are persistent and effective, you may be able to parlay a first meeting with an aide into a long-term relationship with that office and/or a meeting directly with the legislator.
2. Have Reasonable Expectations. Don’t expect your legislator to change his/her position after your 20-minute meeting. You should view your meeting as one critical step among many to engage your legislator on the issue.

How to Have an Effective Visit With Your Policy Maker

 

Once you have your meeting set, you’ll need to prepare and know what to expect. Here are some tips to ensure you have a productive meeting:

Getting the most out of your meeting

1. Identify your main message. Before the meeting, determine what the main message that you want to convey to your legislator is. For instance, “please play a leadership role in advancing policies to stop government overreach into medicine” or “please vote for bills that will ensure proper pain management for chronic pain patients.”
2. Determine roles for participants. If more than one person is meeting with the legislator designate a group leader to open and close the meeting and a different person to present each issue or main message.
3. Prepare and practice for the meeting. It’s always a good idea to run-through what you intend to say before the meeting itself. If you are meeting with a group of people, have each person practice their part in front of the group. Time permitting—hold a dry run of the entire meeting. Remember to dress nicely, business attire is appropriate. If you are meeting in Washington, D.C. business/formal dress is required in the Capitol building.
4. Introduce yourself. Tell your legislator or staff person your name, where you are from, and that you are a constituent. If you represent an organization, note its name, where the group is located, and the size of its membership. If you are associated with a specific institution, identify it and your field of study (i.e. pain management). If you have any family, social, business, or political ties to the legislator, mention them as well. If possible, thank the member for a good stand they recently took on an issue and/or mention if you voted for the member. At a minimum, thank them for taking the time to meet with you.
5. Take the initiative. State clearly and concisely what issue you want to discuss, what your position is, and what action you want the member to take. Follow this with facts about why they should take your position. Ask questions the legislator can respond “yes” or “no.” Press politely for a commitment, unless the member is clearly opposed to your position or to making a commitment.
6. Make a local connection. Stress how the issue will affect the legislator’s district or state and, if possible, tell a personal story that highlights your experience with the issue and why you care about it.

Additional tools and resources

1. Follow up. Always follow up with a prompt thank you letter. In the letter, reiterate your key points and any commitments the legislator made to you. Include all follow-up information you promised to provide.
2. Let us know how it went. Be sure to let us know the results of your meeting. The more details you can provide us with the better.
3. Bring a “leave-behind” document. Give the legislator a brief fact sheet (one to two pages) that outlines your position and explains what the bill does (if there is one) and why they should support your viewpoint.
4. Drop names. Mention any other organizations, important individuals, government officials, and legislators that support your position.
5. Don’t answer what you don’t know. It’s okay to not know all the answers. Answer questions to the best of your ability, and if you don’t know an answer, admit it. This ensures you maintain credibility and it provides an opportunity for a relevant follow-up letter to provide any additional information.
6. Don’t get discouraged. Members of the legislature are very busy and could be called out of the meeting—or not available at all—leaving you with their legislative aide that handles the issue. Don’t let this discourage you. Meeting with a staff member can be equally or even more productive than meeting with the member. Staff can have tremendous influence over legislators and in many cases know far more about the legislation than the legislators themselves. Be sure to ask the staff person to convey your views and legislative requests to their boss.

Stay on topic. The legislator may hijack the agenda or waste valuable time by bringing up unrelated issues. While it is important to be cordial and flexible, this is a meeting for you to relay your concerns to an elected official. Quickly acknowledge and address their issue and redirect the discussion back to the agenda. Don’t let them take you off-course for more than a moment.
