and psyllium reliable 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 the 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 it was 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 produced 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 all. the nice prints 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 this 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 before they put out their drug and when the drug 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 and 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. is. still. there we follow it thank you for the mil who we have we love you so much. over and all my family in jesus christ my prick. still 66 you hear me in chelsea came 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 by you. that's

right. i mean i don't know what are thinking miles 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 purpose right now. so what i want to do today is incorporate a little bit the stuff that we this morning. every single one of us to quote myself when we come in here all of us have a tissue for this particular thing. several of the guys 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 or. 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. everybody else here is dealing with the same thing and you know i can relate to a lot of these people stories and it's just. a lot imo i don't feel alone anymore so. that's that's going to fill lot better.

on day 15 of his treatment call 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. reading. your every move 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 it has when i see it i would just get high and pass out. 2 or. they maybe. carried on. for

me went to church this morning you know but i got problems. 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 by. history on better. his relationship with me his relationship with his brother his relationship with the son caus burned every bridge possible. even though he's her us the most we saw after this and once to be there for him and we don't there's times

that we don't want to so we have to set our feelings aside and support him. i think 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 they are so helpful in the routing more lives than their old. syria has been engulfed in civil war for almost 10 years it cost hundreds of thousands of lives and displaced millions more no one foresaw the peaceful protests of 20 of them is collating into a complex conflict between various only geopolitical interests rebel groups and

jihadists. are they on the on the book on this. but if you tell us if you say that in the hague because i'm. best at the short look cool. you know deep going to look. at them on the theatre and i was. an ordinary i sat down i. missed athens the other day and then was shot in what i do and i'm with the hague get a shot then he.

the world is driven by a dream shaped by from person. who dares thinks. we dare to ask.

i think the only time we've ever had any sort of opiates in the house was after my surgery last year. and at that time we knew about it was way ahead. we had yeah i assured my mom wouldn't let me 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 oxy cause. bush the street name for the season and they give you the exact same effect as heroin and according to them my brother they're even more addicting that one and he had legitimate surgery and i freaked out a psych now you can't take this 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. again. just like coles 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 and me lawyer richie with inducted jason bateman they've all gathered to establish a common fight planned against every single laboratory. case . dr beaman has created the 1st college education program of the country on pain killers addiction. and also let provide education to all of the 1st drivers from dentists doctors in baton areas right then and there. we think that that will do

more to the result you were describing 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 writing these and we've seen over 20 percent decline in a prescription in oklahoma over the last 2 years my medical students will never be involved in this overprescribing 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 classrooms 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 empire. article i wanted to show you that appeared for bush about. the sack or family and back in 2015 they had 14 bay and one of

the richest families in the. and they sold more than $35.00. dollars worth of since it was really just. boarded 952 by the circle brothers. until then their name was known to the general public nowadays billionaires and very much appreciated by. made itself known as the patrons of museums such as the movie all 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. remarkably. that's a result of one thing. i mean dollars and they didn't hear who

destroyed what damage it. 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 psychos 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 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 activists johnson and johnson we sued the ones that we knew about that did business and falsely market it in oklahoma my goal is to let the truth come out i really hope this case goes to trial it's an enormous amount of money and they're going to fight to the death 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. they have been a insta spend on the fancy billions to spend on lawyers and they have no limit on what they'll spin in these cases and ship lawyer they are here from the east coast and they try other lie as much as they can. to years of investigation and hearings 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. warm day i think they would like us to stop. and go. we're not we can't wait it's trial may of 2019 we're going to have her

trial and we're looking forward to it 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. we 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 can come back from that jury verdict didn't say how much or. that's a better answer. just a mouth. never. was. all.

i don't know what spin of all. since you were my voice. please you know i'm scared to get hooked on drugs you know. that's my biggest worry right now approaching that i don't think. it's been 3 months since calm reintegrated the ranch. is coming to an end he now has to leave find a new routine where paying kelis don't exist. now that i'm sober an awful lot better more confident. like my body doesn't hurt. healthy. after he left the ranch called lived in with his mother for a while. and rents a flat where he can accommodate his son every day is

a struggle. i . thought. this is the final battle the one that gets to decide the fate of dr nichols her lawyer asked for just muscle of counts. 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 the jury to hear all the other victims that died as a result of that which is so the jury can get a picture of what she was doing here and there are many. witnesses die as it was that she should have been on that type of medication and each one especially diabetic. you think of the evidence has absolutely

failed to show. this and. the law is very clear about what is a murder case and. there's other cases and. frankly with. egregious conduct in this. meeting you just see that make those or you just dismiss it it's very confident i'm sure. you're waiting for the doctor. should be brought in could we have an interview with her maybe later as soon as because dismissed it. all on 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 . the judge has reached. 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 lawyers 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 her you know my daughter to serve that they used to prescribe all kinds of dangerous drugs that we now know are 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. love you. i miss you. i miss you you hear me. i believe you hear me. chills see. mr hart. but through this through this i can spot and smile and say she's helped somebody goes. that's what i see through. i figure. i've read your your shooter virgie arthur you know i do know

if you're here. since that case happened dozens of american doctors have been sentenced in a court of law for over prescribing opioids. and $27.00 states is suing the laboratories for financial losses the bird you former company is now looking for new clients for its opioid it has created subsidiaries in asia and south america. everywhere opioid consumption is on the increase despite patients knowing the truth.

you. seem wrong when all all just all. get you all get to shape out. just to come out to and engage with equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart. choose to look for common ground. is you'll be via reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or remain in the shallows.

syria has been engulfed in civil war for almost 10 years it cost hundreds of thousands of lives and displaced millions more no one foresaw the peaceful protests of 20 of them is collating into a complex conflict between various armies geopolitical interests rebel groups just . how they are on the book on this. but if you tell us if you say in the hague because i'm. best at the look cool. idea of going to look. at them on. an ordinary i sat down i feel that it never

comes to mother and then the shame what i did on the step paid. the british prime minister faces a printing and parliamentary of the fossil record which condemned the government for its lack of action against must as a legit influence over the u.k. part of sex. the people of these 2 these countries didn't vote to leave the e.u. because of pressure from russia russia introduced the prime minister's subtleness report for 10 months and failed to.
