Gov. Christie`s Opioid Commission and the Nation`s Biggest Nightmare - J. David Haddox, MD, DDS

This should scare anyone involved in the prescription opioid/heroin epidemic.

(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) - J. David Haddox, MD, DDS is the "gate keeper" at Purdue Pharma and successfully downplayed the dangers of OxyContin in the late 1990's.

Haddox "coined" a word "pseudo-addiction" without scientific data. The definition of Haddox's word "pseudo-addiction" is A drug-seeking behavior that simulates true addiction, which occurs in patients with pain who are receiving inadequate pain medication.

US Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah and Congressman Tom Marino Exposed

Hatch has sealed the report and it has never been made public.

(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) - This is the email I sent to every Attorney General today and people in high places:

It has not been a coincidence that in the past couple of years my articles for Salem-News.com and Global News Centre.com have focused on US Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah and Congressman Tom Marino of Pennsylvania. They are now exposed for their contribution to the Tsunami of prescription opioid addictions and deaths ravaging our country.

Caught you US Senator Orrin Hatch! Now Release the Opioid Report!

Join the rally cry for release of the US Senate Finance Committee report.

(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) - In the 15 years I have been reporting on the prescription opioid epidemic, it has in some ways been frustrating to be a forerunner in exposing the criminal activity of pharma, the FDA, politicians, physicians, pain foundations and organizations profiting from the surging death and addiction rates -- while US Senator Orrin Hatch is allowed to obstruct justice.

In 2012, the US Senate Finance Committee began an investigation into the prescription opioid epidemic. When the report was finished, Orrin Hatch simply had the contents sealed closed.

Why Tom Marino Won`t be Confirmed as Drug Czar by the U.S. Senate

Marino's support of Trump in 2016 presidential election may have played into his appointment by the President as Drug Czar

(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) - President Trump announced that he was nominating Rep. Tom Marino (R) of Pennsylvania to head the Office of National Drug Control Policy for the second time.

Marino had cited personal reasons for turning down the prestigious position several months ago. His personal reasons "resolved" themselves and Marino was appointed for a second time by Trump.

Salem Couple Sentenced to Prison for Selling Heroin

Heroin is a killer. Use has been increasing among men and women, most age groups, and all income levels.

(DALLAS, Ore.) - Today, Polk County District Attorney Aaron Felton announced the conviction and sentencing of Jeffrey Bledsoe and Adrienne Santrizos.

The Salem couple was sentenced to prison terms of over 10 years and 7 1/2 years, respectively, for their roles in selling large quantities of heroin as part of an undercover drug enforcement operation.

Shingles Gets You When You`re Down

The painful virus is something most of us know nothing about, until it’s too late.

(SALEM, Ore.) - If the threat of a shingles diagnosis worries you, then you already know more than most people about this painful virus.

There are an estimated 1 million cases of shingles each year in this country. Almost one out of three people will develop shingles in their lifetime, and it is pretty awful.

Purdue Pharma`s Killer Surprise for American Children

Addicting 7 to 16 year olds to hard drugs is not a happy surprise.

(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) - On September 14, the FDA Advisory Committee will be holding a hearing on Purdue Pharma's new "blockbuster" opioid called Butrans. It is targeted for severe pain in children ages 7 to 16 years old.

There is not a doubt in my mind that once the FDA approves this latest killer opioid presented by Purdue Pharma, it will be off-labeled marketed as OxyContin was for all pain levels.

Trump`s Nomination of Tom Marino for Drug Czar is a Disservice to America

Rep. Marino withdrew his name back in May for the same position.

(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) - President Donald Trump has announced that he intends to nominate Rep. Tom Marino (R) of Pennsylvania to head the Office of National Drug Control Policy -- second time for nomination.

Marino has been a longtime supporter of the president -- so much so that Trump nominated Marino back in the spring for the same position -- drug czar.

The Dumbing Down of America in the Prescription Opioid Epidemic!

(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) - Social media is alive with the promotion of "International Overdose Awareness Day" on August 31 and a march in Washington, DC as well as events taking place throughout the U.S. and Canada.

International Overdose Awareness Day is funded and founded by the evil George Soros and his Open Society Foundation. Soros has been very vocal on his intent to make a difference in the United States by having all drugs including illegal ones made legal.

Opioid Epidemic Continues to Soar Despite All Reason

Who wears "white hats" and who wears "black hats" as the prescription opioid epidemic soars in addictions and deaths?

(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) - For those wondering why the prescription opioid/heroin destruction of human life surges out of control every day, you may want to consider this information published in the news relating to the wearers of "white hats" or "black hats". Feel free to draw your own conclusions.

Several years ago a pain clinic in Salt Lake City, Utah run by Lynn R. Webster was raided by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) when people began turning up dead after treatment.
