John Michael Korzelius, MD, PhD, 68, of Camarillo, CA is the next victim of illegal government overreach into medicine through propaganda spread by the media.
ALL doctors take note:
ANY specialty is a potential target, if you have enough assets from your years of work, or you are a minority, or you are compassionate and treating the expendable populations.
Dr. Korzelius has 39 years of experience in medicine. His primary specialty was plastic surgery and reconstructive medicine. Graduating first in his medical school class, he finished his surgery residency at UCLS Medical Center and was acclaimed by becoming the Chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center. He has a lot of credits during his career—too many to be enumerated here in this post.
He has most recently turned his Medical Directorships into the fields of Corrections and Addiction Medicine. In Ventura County, he served from 2003 to 2012 as the regional Director for the medical group that contracts to provide medical services at county jails, detention facilities, and the Juvenile Justice Center where his innovative programs resulted in an enormous reduction of mortality. He has also provided medical services to Ventura County’s substance dependent, destitute and homeless population. His study of addiction medicine led to him being the director of a methadone clinic, as well as a provider of Suboxone treatment. He also worked as a provider at a legitimate pain clinic in Santa Ana.
But in spite (or maybe because of) his primary profession being a cosmetic surgeon (assets probably played a role in his becoming a target), Dr. Korzelius now has to face what so many compassionate doctors have faced—destruction in a few minutes of a lifetime of service and dedication, as well as reputation and respect.
What is the government propaganda being spread by the media against Dr. Korzelius? Folks, they have this down to a science. People have to start recognizing the catch phrases meant to automatically pin a doctor as “guilty until proven innocent” and ignore them.
| Propaganda | Truth |
| 439K pills over 2 years. | That’s a minimum amount needed for 150 patients. And multiple providers were responsible for the numbers reported, not just Dr. Korzelius |
| “high-dose oxycodone” | 30 mg is not “high dose”, but the media likes the propagandizing hype associated with that phrase. |
| “Narcotics trafficking ring” | A legitimate doctor treating legitimate patients is not narcotics trafficking. But that’s “where the money is” so that’s who they attack. |
| “Bogus pain clinics” | Real pain clinics with real patients |
| “illegal opioid prescriptions” | Any prescription written by a licensed physician for a patient on record is legal. |
| “Cash business” | There is nothing illegal about cash. More doctors need to do away with accepting insurance. Healthcare is cheaper that way. |
| “Medically unnecessary prescriptions” | Only the doctor can determine what is medically necessary—not the DEA or DOJ. |
| “patients” in quotes—trying to make people believe that they weren’t really patients. | The doctor can only work with the person as they present. If they come in with a complaint and are treated, they are a patient. No quotation marks, and no crime. |
The charges in this matter are the result of an investigation by the DEA into ChiroMed, a business which operates a group of chiropractic, medical and wellness clinics in Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino counties. Dr. Korzelius was indicted along with the other providers in the clinics with conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, possession with intent to distribute oxycodone, distribution of fentanyl and money laundering.

If you are a physician yet to be attacked, we need your support here at Doctorsofcourage.org. Because it won’t be long before your name is pulled from the hopper.
To end these attacks, restore pain management, and provide compensation to all the families that have been destroyed by government overreach, we must get the Controlled Substance Act repealed. Join Doctorsofcourage to get that done. Learn what we teach and spread the word. NO DRUG CAUSES ADDICTION!! Let’s end the War on Drugs, Doctors and Pain Patients, end the black market, solve the southern border crisis, and restore proper pain management. It CAN be done!
Addendum:
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 Dr. Korzelius 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.

A victim of prosecutorial misconduct and outright law-breaking of the government agencies DEA, DHHS, and DOJ, she hopes to be a part of exonerating all doctors illegally attacked through the Controlled Substance Act. She holds the key to success, as she can offset the government propaganda that drugs cause addiction with the truth: The REAL Cause of Drug Abuse.

Government hacks – let them face and treat the painful conditions: and, form a data base to restrict any pain meds for them if they become ill or injured. They are grossly confused to think we should send deserving patients out the door without appropriate pain control. They should be forced to keep their nose out of our business.
That is what Doctorsofcourage is all about. We hold the key to success. Join us and be a part of the change you want to see.
I was treated by Dr. Korzelius at his Methadone clinic. I had a problem with pain pills and this Dr. Helped me fix it. Not only that he made me feel human again when so many just look at you like another statistic. He encouraged me and helped me lower my dosage over the period of a few years until I was able to be normal again. Never once did he make me feel anything less than human. I’ve been clean for almost 11 years now.
