#fentanyl #opioids #ccp In Episode 231, I invited Andrea Thomas, mother of Ashley who died of fentanyl poisoning, creator of Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day, each August 21st and of Facing Fentanyl to join me once again. We discuss the findings of the China Select Committee on April 16th in the House of Representatives in DC and share the confirmation that the CCP is intentionally manufacturing fentanyl and shipping it through Mexico into the US killing 76,000 of our children in 2022.For perspective, according to National Archives, between 1955-1975, over 58,220 men and women were killed in the Vietnam War - a 20 year period.According to the FBI Crime Data Explorer, in 2022 covering 75% of the US population, 15,047 homicides were recorded by law enforcement agencies.It is estimated that in 2023 more than 100,000 young people in the US were killed by fentanyl in counterfeit pills or added to marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and other drugs with either partial or complete fentanyl. Pills that resemble Xanax, Oxycotin, Adderall, Percocet and others are killing our young people within minutes because all these are counterfeit pills and that person has no idea what is in them.Please, please educate yourself and your family. Fentanyl is now the leading cause of death among 18-45 year olds.Watch the video version of my conversation here - https://youtu.be/lZm3jIMFY10Watch the complete hearing in the US House of Representatives China Select Committee here - https://www.youtube.com/live/bkzJ0nJEuus?si=tyasM1UJnxZ2Iti2And read my extensive corresponding blog -https://marymac.info/2024/05/05/the-mary-mac-show-death-by-fentanyl-podcast-series-china-0-usa-76K-how-ccp-using-fentanyl-to-kill-our-children-ep231/ where you can read a recap of that day where many families flew to DC to appear on behalf of their loved ones who died of fentanyl poisoning, all at their own expense.You can also go here to learn more - https://facingfentanyleducation.my.canva.site/families-demand-executive-action-in-face-of-fentanyl-crisisPlease subscribe to my channel here to learn more about grieving a loved one's death and the podcast series "Death By Fentanyl".

According to NIH, "Opioid use disorder and opioid addiction remain at epidemic levels in the U.S. and worldwide. Three million US citizens and 16 million individuals worldwide have had or currently suffer from opioid use disorder (OUD). More than 500,000 in the United States are dependent on heroin."John Watson was seventeen when his best friend was in an accident and given Oxycotin for the pain. Kids being kids, John and his friend discovered that this pill made them feel very good. At the time, no one knew the addictive nature of these drugs and John thought he was just having fun and experimenting. Eight years later, he realized he was trapped and could not stop using on his own. When he couldn't find any on the street, he turned to heroin, something he said he would NEVER do. Listen to John tell his story about how opioids highjacked his brain, stole years of his life and almost killed him. Despite knowing he was on a downward spiral for years, his family never turned their back on him. If you want to better understand the realities of opioid addiction and gain hope when it seems all is lost, listen to John Watson's story and you will know that everyone can recover.

We lost a legendary figure in the Jackson area over the weekend, former City Of Jackson City Commissioner Doug "Coach" Shanks lost his battle with cancer over the weekend. I spend the first segment of the show discussing his importance to my life and career. 2. Deion Sanders got a massive win in his first game as the head coach of the Colorado Buffalo's over TCU this weekend, but instead of making it about the kids and him proving the doubters wrong he made it about his blackness.

It seems this country has become numb to the Opioid Crisis. We can not bury our heads, mandate it away, or think it only happens to bad people. Hopefully, it won't take a personal tragedy in someone's life to understand that this crosses all demographics. We have had Hamilton on before to discuss his alcohol use disorder, but today he will tell us how a back surgery led him to a long relationship with opioids. Let's stop stigmatizing this crisis and come together for solutions as this affects everyone.Hamilton Baiden is Youturn Health's CEO. Prior to joining Youturn Health, Hamilton was Executive Vice President of Sales at Avella Specialty Pharmacy where he oversaw the growth of the business from a small regional pharmacy to the largest independent specialty pharmacy in the nation. His knowledge and understanding of the pharmacy industry were developed throughout his professional career, working in various roles for prominent pharmaceutical manufacturing companies, including MedImmune, Serono, Daiichi, and Sanofi. A graduate of The Citadel in Charleston, SC, with strong ties to his community, Hamilton served as Chairman of the Board of Directors for a nonprofit organization dedicated to animal welfare, Altered Tails, and currently serves on the National Board of the American Liver Foundation Southwest Division. Hamilton is also in recovery and committed to helping others.

Chaque jour, aux Etats-Unis 187 personnes décèdent à la suite d'une overdose d'opioïdes. Cette addiction a causé plus de 100 000 morts en 2021 et près d'un million depuis 1999. Plus de trois mille plaintes ont été déposées contre les fabricants de ces opioïdes. Au premier rang des accusés on trouve la famille Sackler et sa firme Purdue Pharma qui a empoché plus de 35 milliards de dollars avec son Oxycotin. Le laboratoire J&J est également sur la sellette avec son Fentanyl, le nouveau cauchemar des familles américaines et qui a aujourd'hui été retiré des pharmacies américaines. Des distributeurs pharmaceutiques, des médecins ont également été poursuivis. Tous ont été condamnés lourdement mais l'épidémie n'est pas pour autant terminée. Pourquoi en est-on arrivé là ? La justice peut-elle encore frapper ? Comment les Etats-Unis peuvent-ils s'en sortir? Pourquoi la France a-t-elle été épargnée ?

After over 20 years in addiction, Isaiah House Client Care Navigator Brittany Moody isn't just talking the talk of recovery from substance abuse, but is walking the talk! Raised in surroundings birthing her addiction, Brittany was thrown into a life of dysfunction, leaving school at 15 while in foster care and starting her life in the madness at age 12. Starting with marijuana and alcohol and graduating to Oxycotin and heroine, life spiraled out of control. Listen in to her story to hear how divine intervention set her onto a course of new beginnings and a new life addiction free!

The road to redemption alot of times can be turbulent...potholes, accidents, and at times, life threatening encounters. For Isaiah House Treatment Center client care navigator Stephen Roberts, it took a journey of drugs, overdose, and a double life to bring him to his knees...experiencing the difference between religion and relationship. Listen to his story to find out when the party ended and new life began.

Hosts Dr. Terry Sellers & Jared Miller (CASUDC), discuss a news article published on tabletmag.com on August 30th, 2022 titled "How Weed Became the New Oxycotin". This article addresses the similarities between the fairly new movement of "Medical marijuana" to the past booms of big tobacco & big pharma. Similarly to how big tobacco was marketed to teens & young adults, as well as how Purdue Pharma marketed Oxycotin as "non-addictive", we see the current boom of the marijuana industry using the term "medical" to market to consumers (there is no distinction inside cannabis dispensaries). Host Jared Miller acknowledges that more research needs to be done & points out the undeniable benefits of CBD properties vs the psychoactive effects of THC properties. The hosts are aware this is a heavily debated/controversial topic & do their best to approach it from the context of the news article. Regardless of where you stand on the use of marijuana, this is a very informational podcast episode, we hope you enjoy it! 

Tony Hoffman is one of the most sought-after substance abuse speakers in the country, traveling over 200 days per year touching lives with his transformational journey "from prison to the Olympics".By the time he was in high school, Tony had been a top-ranked BMX amateur with multiple endorsements, but after getting into alcohol, marijuana and prescription painkillers like Vicodin and Oxycotin, his life took a a devastating turn. He found himself in the depths of addiction, living homeless on the street, and ultimately serving time in prison for armed robbery. After paroling prison in 2008, Tony transformed his life completely. He returned to BMX, placed 2nd at the 2016 World Championships and coached one of his athletes to the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.In addition to his speaking tour which spans across schools, healthcare, government, faith-based organizations and the TEDx stage, Tony is also the co-founder of a groundbreaking new treatment facility in Southern California called pH Wellness.In this episode, we discuss:The root cause of addictionThe impact of stigmaHomelessnessHow to treat addiction effectivelypH Wellness's FIT For Life sobriety model - Fitness, Inventory Work, Transferable Life SkillsTony's Micro-Process that took him from prison to the OlympicsPersistent Flexibility I highly recommend checking out more of Tony's work on his website and connecting on Instagram:Tony Hoffman SpeakingInstagram: @tonyhoffmanpH Wellness Website____For more resources and sober community, visit the Sun & Moon Sober Living Website and be sure to follow along on Instagram @sunandmoon.soberliving.

Monologue about Aaron Rodgers and his admittance of using psychedelic drugs during his MVP season last year.

Do not pass Go, do not collect $200, just hit play. Now. Please. Teen idol, Willie Aames, shares heart, romance, love, sensitivity, thoughtfulness, emotional intelligence, great ideas, humility, humanity, forgiveness, speaks of destiny, success, bottoming out, addiction, recovery, reinvention, study, diligence, persistence, getting everything, losing it all, rebuilding, and, in the end, winning… Winnie. One of the greatest love stories ever told, coupled with one of the most sobering tales of abuse and excess which took an overachiever and kicked him to the curb. From TV screens at 9 - The Courtship of Eddie's Father, The Odd Couple, Medical Center, hanging around soundstages with Lucille Ball and John Wayne, to co-starring on Family, Eight is Enough, Zapped. Paradise, Charles in Charge, to Bibleman, Willie had it all and then was suddenly uncastable. An injury led to Oxycotin which led to losing everything–– money, his marriage, children, his home… and how he rebuilt his life, studying, training, and becoming a financial investor, to cruise ship director, full circle back to writing, and acting, coupled with the destined love of his life—happier than he's ever been. Winning with Winnie. I loved every second of this time with Wille, there are so many takeaways. I'll be listening to this again, and again, and will remain forever thankful to now count Willie Ames as a friend. I'll introduce ya.

Today on the Naturally Inspired Daily Clip Tammy Talks About: Purdue Pharma and the new series "Dopesick" on hulu.  

When an Angel Whispers     Over the last few weeks, I have been having an existential crisis. Do I want to continue my work as a divorce lawyer? Or do I hand in my license to practice law and close the doors of my successful law firm? The work we do as divorce lawyers is tough. Really tough. This work can be nothing short of punishing. I think of a 19-day Supreme Court trial I did. It was and I am sure remains a very high-conflict matter. Yes, both the parties, in that case, are assholes. Had I known my client was such an asshole, I never would have taken on the case. I worked my butt off for that case, it consuming weeks of my life. The point is that this matter could have been resolved in a mediation/arbitration setting within a few days. It would have saved the parties days and days of their lives (not to mention their lawyers the same) and countless thousands of dollars. Neither party involved in that fight is ever going to recover financially, and their children will continue to be stuck in the middle of their parents' toxic relationship. I have another case where one of the lawyers on the case said that I was grilled so hard by the Judge that I had “Grill marks” on my face. I have had a client murder his wife, child and parents-in-law before committing suicide himself. I woke up at 2:04 am on the dot for many months. It was the exact time the police said that my client broke into the residence of his sleeping wife, and child. When I represent clients, I put my whole heart and soul into it. I mean every bit of me. Although it is hard work, I pride myself on doing the right thing for families and their children, even if it means taking on that very hard case. Yet, so much of it seems thankless. When I say thankless, I think of the client where I did a gruelling lengthy trial and ultimately saved him millions of dollars of the money his ex-spouse was after. He accused me of being manipulative when I wanted to be paid the balance of funds he owed me. On top of all of it, I have issues with my Law Society, and there is no end in sight to the financial and emotional stress I experience as a result. I have experienced intense shame and embarrassment. I have spent hours suffering in silence and in shame. I have experienced gutting fear all the while wanting to protect my livelihood. I have been buried in legal fees and buried in stress. But why protect my livelihood? Why would I continue in the face of such adversity? So, I have been asking myself . . . why do I do it? I have been disheartened. I have been asking myself, why would I continue doing this tough, stressful, and sometimes thankless work?! And then I am reminded of the story of who I will call Andy. Andy was having a great life with a young family and things were going along swimmingly. He ran a construction company. He won awards. He and his partner had two small children. Then he got hurt on the job, very hurt. He was prescribed Oxycotin. Although Oxycotin is legal, some people describe it as heroin in a pill. The destruction it has caused to families on this planet is well known and documented. Andy's life unravelled in a huge way. He, and the mother of his children, I will call her Narcissa began to engage in a significant drug-taking lifestyle. I act for Andy's Dad, who I will call Peter. Although it is Peter that is my client, I have gotten to know Andy's sister and brother and Andy's Mom, even though she and Peter have been divorced for many years. The entire family is aligned in terms of ensuring these young children have a relationship with their paternal family. The children are loved deeply by their paternal family and the Children know it. Peter speaks German to them, tells them wonderful fairy tales, and yes, sometimes he makes them eat their veggies. He was the primary caregiver to the Children while Andy and Narcissa were doing drugs (unbeknownst to Peter). Ultimately, Andy and Narcissa broke up and Narcissa has spent more than six years doing everything, and I mean everything possible to cut the two young children, now 9 and 11 years old out of Andy's life and that of his family's. Tragically, Andy passed a little less than a year ago from a drug overdose. This was profoundly devastating to Peter and his family. Yet, they wanted to ensure the children could continue a relationship with their paternal family. They want to ensure that these children have an ongoing connection to their Dad even though he is now gone. Despite Andy's passing, Narcissa's campaign has continued for whatever reason (I do think the name I have chosen for her has something to do with it, just sayin'). She continues to do everything possible to keep these children from Peter and the extended paternal family. This is even though the children love to spend time with them. Over the years, she has made many false and serious allegations. The allegations have been investigated by police, by child services, and despite her many attempts, the allegations are not found credible by anyone, including the investigating authorities. And this is why I know that the work I do is important. After our last court date and two days of gruelling argument, the children still get to see Peter and their cousin, their grandma, their Aunt and their Uncle. This is in spite of Narcissa's objections. This is what Peter's daughter sent to me in an email (I have changed a few words and the names to protect confidentiality). It is, however, printed with her permission and blessing: I wanted to tell you that after the first court date, I texted you to say what a great job I'd thought you'd done. After a small exchange, you sent me 5 red hearts. When you sent me the 5 red hearts a weight was lifted. Andy had a strong favourite number and favourite colour: Red Five. Andy and I talked about it all the time. And every day since he left, me and my mom send each other 5 red hearts. So thank you for intuitively knowing that . . . or maybe Andy gave you a little whisper :) That my friend is why we continue to do this work. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Val   In this Episode: Being a Divorce Lawyer is very hard [00:01:04] When I represent clients, I put my whole heart and soul into it. [00:02:58] I have been asking myself, why would I continue doing this tough, stressful, and sometimes thankless work? [00:03:48] The story of who I will call Andy [00:05:35] Red Five :) [00:09:30]

In this episode Stuart and Randall attempt to distract you from your woes by discussing the story of Purdue Pharma, and the ensuing opioid epidemic. Enjoy? 

Join me and Cammie Wolf Rice to get an in-depth insight into the long-raging US Opioid Crisis, causing thousands of deaths each year. Around 1/3rd of these deaths are due to Prescription Drugs alone. Cammie tells us her personal story and how she lost her son Christopher as his MD prescribed highly addictive painkillers after an operation. She feels that the US Health Care System, the Government and the Pharma Industry fail society, by not providing adequate education and warnings about the dangers of prescribed Painkillers. To fight this reality and in honor of Christopher, Cammie founded The Christopher Wolf Crusade (www.CWC.ngo) in 2018. The CWC's mission is to spare preventable deaths and save lives worldwide, by providing preventative solutions, education, and advocacy for the American opioid epidemic. Cammie warns, we all are exposed to the danger of becoming addicted to hard drugs by first taking prescription Painkillers such as Oxycotin, Vicodin, Demerol (etc.) and even Ritalin - often prescribed to children with ADHD. The stigma attached to addicts is utterly wrong – anybody can fall prey to drug addiction. About 75% of Heroin Users started their addiction by first becoming addicted to Prescription Drugs given by their MDs, often for minor ailments, she tells us. Since the start of the Covid19 Pandemic, total deaths caused by drug overdoses has shot up by 30% in some US states. Each year Prescription Opioid Misuse costs the US economy almost 80bn USD, according to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). The system has to change and the spotlight is on Policy Makers, Big Pharma, Education for Medical Professionals, but also on Patients themselves, to become less trusting towards any kind of prescription from their Medical Doctors.

The nation has been in the grip of a national crisis involving opioid addiction. One of the major manufacturers of opioids was Purdue Pharma—the makers of Oxycotin. Thanks to the efforts by Dr. Jason Beaman and team Oklahoma State University (OSU) secured a windfall from a settlement with opioid maker Purdue Pharma earlier this year. OSUs quest to become a major hub for addiction research just got more serious as the company also handed over thousands of proprietary molecules, patient samples and other data. Listen as Dr. Beaman discusses this and some initiatives they are looking into. You can follow Dr. Beaman on twitter here OSU Medicine Opens Addiction Medicine Clinic

So, I never do this. I don't usually go on other peoples podcasts, but when my new podcast advisor tells me to do something I do it. So he connected me to Sean and Cass from the Very Ape Podcast, two psychonauts who are also on the Mind Pod network I am in, I scheduled a meeting with them the very next day.  Full warning, this podcast, was a huge departure for me in many ways, mostly, because I have never done a joint interview in this way, but predominantly because I talked about many, many personal things that I usually keep in a tiny pandoras box inside my tummy. The next morning I experienced a "vulnerability hangover" so intense that I just wanted to crawl into a ball and expire.  So...I have nothing but intense love for these two. Sean and Cass are documentary film makers (all of their films are available for free HERE where they tackle such topics as Oxycotin, addiction, fandom, Americana, Jugaloo's  thrupples (a working relationship involving three loving equally loving partners) Trump, cam girls, all the good stuff. So I arrived to their gorgeous Greenpoint apt super late on a Monday night after 12 hours of incredibly confusing work, and a brain that literally had been reduced to Bisquick batter and we sat in their living room surrounded by candles and talked for literally hours. I didn't know anything about them and to say that our worlds line up and our values are in complete balance is a wicked understatement. More to come from our new friendship thrupple. Maybe, just maybe, they can teach me how to not ruin scissoring. Fingers crossed!  THANK YOU SEAN AND CASS  Music: Noah Lampert: Wicked Games (remix)  Live Makosa Mungongo Bwiti check out his podcast HERE. He rocks.

There is a anepidemic as it relates to drugs and alcohol within our youth. As an adult and parent we have a moral responsibility and personal responsibility when it comes to our children or the children in our care. A parent is a role model and one of the most important person in a child's life. With that being said, it was documented in the Huffpost that, " If you think your teen is not using, or at least experimenting with drugs, you need to wake up." According to the National Center On Addiction and Substance Abuse, 75% of high school students have used an addictive substance and approximately 16% of the U.S. population ages 12 and over met a clinical  diagnostic criteria for addiction to nicotine, alcohol and other drugs. Drugs appear to be easy to come by, with 44% of high school students indicating that they knew a classmate who sells drugs. Drugs are in the home and communities of our youth. There are children in elementary school that have knowledge or have been exposed to drugs or alcohol. In 2016 alcohol remained the most common substance abused among teens. Marijuana came second then prescription drugs. was the most popular. Then there was Oxycotin and Vicodin. Sadly there are about 1600 kids trying prescription drugs for the first time every day. Let's not forget about the synthetic drugs and vaping is also on the rise.  So what is a parent to do? Many parents are clueless when it comes to drugs or alcohol. Let's start a conversation and keep it going to educate, prevent, empower and save our children's life before another beat us to the punch. Learn the warning signs. Obtain information as to why children start using drugs and alcohol. Please don't ignore this conversation as your child may be at risk.  All callers are welcome live 7/30/18 at 12pm Pacific. 516 387-1914. You can also listen at anytime. This is a conversation that you may not want to miss. 

Is the karma of requesting greater gun control the answer? Are there other threats? Is fear being fanned in each of these situations? Is there more to any of these stories than we think? IS banning guns treating the symptom? Who is treating the cause instead of the symptom of violence?

Our guest this week is Christopher Glazek of Esquire Magazine, who's piece titled "The Secretive Family Making Billions from the Opioid Crisis," focuses on the Sackler Family. Forbes Magazine put the family's wealth at around 14 billion in 2015. Most of that comes from Purdue Pharma, which makes Oxycotin. Now our discussion about the Sackler family and ties to the opioid crisis facing America. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
