every fiber of the. back in 1906 the 1st promotional campaign for it was broadcasted we found it. we doctors were wrong in thinking that opioids can't be used long term they can be and they should we used to think they'd stop working all the patients would become addicts although. these 6 cases show how wrong those fears were. in this little film the public was assured with certification. of addiction despite its high concentration in opium to make it believable a real doctor and real patients' bill witness. that this treatment usually reserved for patients in the terminal phase of cancer can be used without any danger for common pain. can enjoy every day you know you

can really enjoy must say i have been on this new pain medication i have not missed one day of work and this medication does not turn you into a zombie it is turned me into an active person again. whereas addiction is the 1st known risk of an opioid the figures shown by pretty farmer a purely and still be unreliable some patients may be afraid of taking opioids because they're perceived as too strong or addictive. but that is far from actual fact less than one percent of patients taking opioids actually become addicted. since 1988 doctors have observed patients developing addiction yet in this internal memo a laboratory keeps on encouraging us representatives to sell the cost that miracle pill using bonuses premiums and all sorts of gadgets in only 5 years oxycontin

went from 600000 prescriptions a year to more than 6000000. nowadays 30 pharma is the 1st company standing in its used in the lawsuit filed by the state of oklahoma in order to prove its responsibility the team relies on doc to kalani. in the 1st 6 years of the release of oxycontin produce sponsored 20000 educational programs across the united states they gave money to the professional societies to advocate for more opioids the organization that regulates hospitals took money from them the organization that regulates doctors in different states took money from them from all of these different directions we were told to prescribe much more the opioid lobby the manufacturers and distributors of opioids spent 880000000 dollars over

a 10 year period the walking efforts for more cautious prescribing that they spent 8 times more than the gun lobby in the united states in has spent in trying to block gun regulations. the manufacturers of opiates are spending more money trying to block regulations on opioids. and is disseminated year after year during that time the epidemic takes root hidden in the shadows for so long the addiction of a 1000000 american citizens suddenly comes to light these days with the most people showing up for treatment saying they're addicted to the pills show up as read. and this is 99. 2001. 2003. 200-520-0720 extension 09 what you can see is that

in every state in the united states we've seen a very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids big companies were aware that these pills were dangerous addictive of course and could kill people of course they would yes they were aware of or they put out their drug and one of the drugs started to get prescribed it was very clear early on there was a public health problem associated with this so there was overwhelming evidence that the products that were making them rich were killing people. back we wanted to find the patients that testified in this that really johnny passed away in 2008 in an accident caused by oxycontin his wife confided he had become addicted to it lauren was addicted for years now she's free if it became addicted and was also

found dead of a cardiac arrest 3 patients out of 6 had become addicted as for the doctor who appeared in the film here is his answer. it's not acceptable to say i don't believe in using strong pain medications for chronic pain we need to stop saying this. stuff. that we follow it thank you for the mill we have we love you so much. over and all my family in jesus christ i'm a pray same at. 66 you hear little me chelsea come here a lot but i just feel like she's here with me every time i come here i just feel

her presence you know it makes me shine if i was trouble with this whole it's a daily thing you gotta let it go people say you have to let it go tell us tell us how you do time don't know. if it happened to one person you know ok it was an accident this is 5. that's right . i mean i don't know what our thinking was i really don't i would like to know what you're thinking was how did she think that was helping. chelsea was 21 when she passed away the same age as kyle who still struggling for his life. kyle has begun his 1st days of therapy at the center. in his struggle against the addiction only speech seems to be the hyper serenity. so what i want to do today is incorporate

a little bit the stuff that we this morning every single one of us through. all of us have to see through. several of the. guys that i that are in here were athletes. they got injured that introduced him to the opiates and whenever they take the opiates they find out hey not only does this make me physically feel better but emotionally i feel better . so what of opiates. made me feel like a better person. like i'd be in the house all day and then once i got high i could go out and do whatever on a new. there for. everybody

else here is still the same thing and you know i can relate to a lot of these people stories and it's just. a lot of a lot of love i don't feel alone anymore so. that's that's going to feel lot better . on day 15 of his treatment col relapsed.

one of the patients who brought in heroin secretly. he couldn't resist. after he plunged back he was sent to this facility. monitored under high surveillance away from his family and son he's following his treatment to be able to go back to the ranch. here every fall we thank you for this day look we think this were about to receive we think this is just being on a 4 year stretch with it and i just can't seem to stop and. yeah it's highly addictive. why is it so hard to be sober because you have pain i guess is just now i'm so over a half feelings. and. i mean to see how i would just get high and pass

out. back. i mean. are you done. for me went to church this morning you know the. problem. oh ok. well it's almost 12 so i'm going to run by and pick up cash and come out there to you so you can spend some time with him. good luck. to and i'll give you a call here after a little bit. ok bye. he said on better.

his relationship with me his relationship with his brother his relationship with the son cows burned every bridge possible. even though he's her us the most we saw after this one and still be there for him and we don't there's times we don't want to sell we have to set our feelings aside and support him. i think the really the most difficult as far as anger is just knowing. all the all these companies know what their drugs are doing and they will say that they are so helpful in the ruling more lives in the world and.

certainly when you are entering a completely new stage in college as sas. not just the progress but needs to humankind i think we. already passed the peak of this willingness to be most global and most open progress in terms of development development of technologies we can do that album of communication i don't think it can be stopped so. this controllers are going to addiction between the sea for life and all grist will share but it will not this if you. don't want to clip of shoulders no use to you. but the way it's always at the k.

it was a. moment. you know he didn't see me that. they can put us in the mood at that point pulled up by the smithsonian bush here in the capital clinton look at the way i. see the way yes look he. he yes but. i think the only time we've ever had in these sort of opiates in my house was after my surgery last year. at that time we knew about it way ahead yeah we did yeah i assured my mom when you might need to take the microscope and i was so scared that's what they prescribe him he had the same exact stuff that my brother got

addicted to oxy go to our cars. which the street name for that is roxy city and they give you the exact same effect as heroin and according to my brother there even were addicting one and he had legitimate surgery and i freaked out i was like no you can't take these and here he had just had his appendix taken out he needed the hump and i didn't want him taking them because i wasn't going to go through this again. just like call's family the whole country is in a state of awareness wanting to change things and contain the epidemic.

at the oklahoma university and then seen an aggressive alliance was formed researcher. andrew called out me lawyer richie with you and doc to jason beam and they've all gathered to establish a common fight plan against every single laboratory. case. dr beaman has created the 1st college education program of the country on pain killers addiction. and also what provide education to all of the 1st drivers from dentist doctors invent myriad right then and there. we think that that will do more to the result you were prescribing than any of our other initiatives i think the overwhelming response has been that the doctors that are graduating now and going out into practice are not person and we've seen over 20 percent decline in prescriptions in oklahoma over the last 2 years my medical students will never be

involved in this over. behavior and there are definitely some doctors have knowingly contributed to this problem they saw an opportunity to make money and they went for it but that's that's a very small minority boko haram is department of justice is also trying to stop those who are responsible like one of the richest families in the country the one that funds and controls the purse and. article i wanted to show you that appeared for bush about the sackler family and back in 2015 they had 14 bay and one of the richest families in the united states and they've sold more than 35000000000. dollars worth of oxys since it was really just. it was boarded $952.00 by the secular brothers both documents until then their name was now known to the general public nowadays that billionaires and very much

appreciated by. the secular dentist he made itself known as the patrons of museums such as the. well the guggenheim but without anyone making the connection between their fortune and their company michael barrett intends to make this truth known. do you think they knew what they were doing show they knew what they were to. exactly what they were doing they pleaded guilty to crimes for alternately with and . knowingly crossing remarkably. that's. one thing. i mean dollars and they didn't hear. what damage occurred in 2007 the company pleaded guilty to the federal accusations of misleading marketing and false advertising condemned they paid over $635000000.00 in penalties and continue to sell opioids.

the sacco's would never have been able to market this product without authorization the f.d.a. has to control and regulate every single drug put on the market it authorized the use of oxycontin as a painkiller without a problem. some of the same f.d.a. officials involved in regulating the drug. would wind up leaving f.d.a. and taking higher paying jobs for purdue pharma and other drug companies we call that the revolving door i think they should have figured out earlier than what was going on and to this day some of these same f.d.a. officials are still at the f.d.a. and rather than saying we made a horrible mistake we have to change our policies they haven't changed their policies they keep approving more opioids.

it's a big day for oklahoma the attorney general's teams are facing the lawyers of the 4 companies being seated a judge has to rule whether there's enough evidence to go to trial. proof pharmaceutical after johnson and johnson we sued the ones that we knew about the business and falsely marketed oklahoma my goal was to let the trees come out i really hope this case goes to trial it's an enormous amount of money and they're going to fight for that this is what they've indicated. to to try to show that they didn't cause us they're probably going to blame this on doctors and they're probably going to blame it on people like myself who got sick. we've probably got at least $20.00 for you know they have been insta spend on the fancy billions to spend on lawyers and they have no limit on what they'll spin in these

cases and they ship lawyer they out here from the east coast and they try other the law as much as they can. it took years of investigation and hearings for the course of history to change but the time to reckoning is common for the 1st time for laboratories will be judged. as being responsible for the crisis. one day i think they would like us to stop. and go away we're not we can't wait it's trouble may of 2019 we're going to have her trial and we're looking forward to we believe in our case i believe in her case with every fiber of my being that look forward to trying this case if i were the 1st case in the nation set for trial and we've been getting calls from others. we will set the precedent if i will might some history on that matter. good history. the lawyers of the full

laboratories duchesse despite our repeated demands for now none of them has accepted to meet with us. they were smiling how does that make you feel maybe you could come back from that jury verdict genesee i'm not sure. that's a better answer to that and i'm not going to. phase them out of. that and ever. will. and that was. all. i don't know would spend of all. since you were mobbed voice. police are scared of getting hooked on drugs you know. 'd that's my biggest worry right now a prayer that i don't. ask god. it's been 3 months since

cali integrated the ranch. is coming to an end he now has to leave find a new routine where paying kelis don't exist. so now i'm sober and off to a lot better more confident. like my body doesn't hurt any more healthy. after he left the ranch moved in with his mother for a while. he's now found a job and rents a flat where he can accommodate his son every day is a struggle. this is the final battle the one that gets to decide the fate of dr nichols her lawyer

asked for just missile accounts. the state of oklahoma once the lawsuit to go before a criminal court. i think she acted extraordinarily recklessly so what my goal is is to berks file a motion to allow that for the jury to hear all the other victims that died as a result from that which is so the jury can get a picture of what she was doing here there are many. women dying there's no reason why she should have been on that type of medication and each one especially diabetic. you think would be evidence has absolutely failed to show. this and. the law is very clear about what is a murder case and what is not there is other cases involving doctors frankly with. egregious conduct in this. meeting you just see that make those or you just dismiss it so are you confident absolutely. you're waiting for the doctor. should

be brought in could lee had an interview with her maybe later as soon as the case dismissed it. all along the hearing dr nichols seems detached from the events surrounding her but they can look on her face. she will never speak as if none of this were her concern . if the judge has reached a ruling. dr nichols will be tried for murder. it's an exceptional decision on the part of the american justice system the trial has to happen in a year or less from now on she's banned from practicing. dr nichols and her lawyer have decided to plead not guilty.

i think it's a good thing she's going to have to go to worst and have to answer for what she did wrong. it's going to have to answer in front of the jury my knowing that a manslaughter better at least he didn't dismiss it she deserves she deserves you know to go before a jury trial and see and see what's going to happen with their you know my daughter to serve that they used to prescribe all kinds of dangerous drugs that we now know were dangerous about at the time they were doing the best they could to treat their patients and now they're blaming one of their own victims. for doing the best she could with the medical knowledge she. will love you. i miss you.

i miss you hear me. i believe you hear me. chills see. mr tore. through this. i can. this was a help somebody else. and that's what i see you're. ok i figure. i think you're really there were she here. we are yes i do know if you're here. since that case happened dozens of american doctors have been sentenced in a court of law for overprescribing opioids. and $27.00 states is suing the laboratories for financial losses the clergy pharma

company is now looking for new clients for its opioid it has created subsidiaries and asia and south america. everywhere opioid consumption is on the increase despite patients knowing the truth.

here. thinking of getting abused coming once we got in our shells from iraq was he didn't know until he was trapped in this tiny little wired how much we don't need a crate with him the wall just. freaking out and she won't let us bring him anywhere near and thousands of leading dogs are changed in inhumane conditions on puppy farms i mean 67 years you know they've been locked up in a cage outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the courtier the rain the snow the funder nothing they have no protection. to get what you. know it's ok. across the u.s. cruel puppy mills are supported by dog shows and pet stores most of the puppies are

coming from this large scale factory farming kind of operations are being sought and at stores even joined a good businesses are involved like cargill the mom center there has been a shocking amount of organized opposition to efforts to increase the standards of care for dogs bred in commercial rating for so many most of that opposition is coming from huge agricultural groups and industries that have nothing to do with jobs don't buy dog on a routine. ah no no crow. no shots both. factions well to be. no 1st to. point your thirst for action.

on. wall. i don't know welcome to worlds apart in just one comment 9. politics has replaced geopolitics or rather has become it's inescapable. war engines are now the order of the day while the careful citizens health has reminded equal politicians are carefully calibrated or even explained our policies.
