of course rejected out of <em><strong>respect for my own work</strong></em> (I paid for the entire conference myself, including venue, printed notes, travel, hotel, food, and generous compensation for the presenters) and also <em><strong>respect for my graduate students, some of whom were single mothers working up to 2 jobs to pay for their tuition</strong></em>; later that year, IFM announced my replacement on Facebook but never had the courage to tell me directly. <em><strong>So much for my 11 years of nonprofit &#8220;service&#8221; and helping grow the organization from a time when they could not even pay their faculty!</strong></em></p></li></ul></li></ul><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Spirituality and Community&#8221; sent me a hyperarrogant email <strong>demanding free access to <a href="https://inflammationmastery.substack.com/api/v1/file/9034a1df-f695-403e-ab53-f6820f51d673.pdf">my 2013 International Conference on Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine</a></strong>, which I of course rejected out of <em><strong>respect for my own work</strong></em> (I paid for the entire conference myself, including venue, printed notes, travel, hotel, food, and generous compensation for the presenters) and also <em><strong>respect for my graduate students, some of whom were single mothers working up to 2 jobs to pay for their tuition</strong></em>; later that year, IFM announced my replacement on Facebook but never had the courage to tell me directly. <em><strong>So much for my 11 years of nonprofit &#8220;service&#8221; and helping grow the organization from a time when they could not even pay their faculty!</strong></em></p></li></ul></li></ul><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

of course rejected out of <em><strong>respect for my own work</strong></em> (I paid for the entire conference myself, including venue, printed notes, travel, hotel, food, and generous compensation for the presenters) and also <em><strong>respect for my graduate students, some of whom were single mothers working up to 2 jobs to pay for their tuition</strong></em>; later that year, IFM announced my replacement on Facebook but never had the courage to tell me directly. <em><strong>So much for my 11 years of nonprofit &#8220;service&#8221; and helping grow the organization from a time when they

of course rejected out of <em><strong>respect for my own work</strong></em> (I paid for the entire conference myself, including venue, printed notes, travel, hotel, food, and generous compensation for the presenters) and also <em><strong>respect for my graduate students, some of whom were single mothers working up to 2 jobs to pay for their tuition</strong></em>; later that year, IFM announced my replacement on Facebook but never had the courage to tell me directly. <em><strong>So much for my 11 years of nonprofit &#8220;service&#8221; and helping grow the organization from a time when they

thereby contributed to America&#8217;s opioid crisis which has <span data-color="#980000" style="color: rgb(152, 0, 0);">killed more than ONE MILLION AMERICANS</span>. </h2><h3>As such, the simple math is that the <span data-color="#ff00ff" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">AMERICAN PAIN SOCIETY received ONE DOLLAR FOR EACH AMERICAN KILLED</span> by the opioid addiction crisis that it created. </h3><blockquote><h4>Since tracking began in 1999, <strong><mark data-color="#ffff00" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span data-color="#ff0000" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">drug overdoses have killed over 1.25 million people in the United States, with opioids accounting for roughly 75% to 80% of those fatalities </span></mark></strong>in recent years. </h4><ul><li><p><em><strong>DEATHS</strong></em>: <strong>Over 1 million Americans have died from drug overdoses since 1999, with opioids driving the vast majority of the surge</strong>.</p></li><li><p><em><strong>ANNUAL</strong></em>: In recent peak years, total drug overdose deaths surpassed 105,000 annually, with about 54,000 to 80,000 of those deaths specifically involving opioids (prescriptions, heroin, synthetic opioids like fentanyl).</p></li><li><p><em><strong>DAILY</strong></em>: At the height of the epidemic, roughly 220 people died each day from an opioid-related overdose.</p></li><li><p><em><strong>OVERDOSES</strong></em>: For every fatal overdose, multiple non-fatal overdoses require emergency medical intervention, hospitalization, or the administration of reversal medications like naloxone.</p></li><li><p><em><strong>ADDICTION</strong></em>: Millions of people suffer from opioid use disorder (OUD) or misuse prescription and illicit opioids annually&#8212;estimated at nearly 9 million individuals in the U.S. alone</p></li></ul></blockquote><h3><mark data-color="#ffff00" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span data-color="#980000" style="color: rgb(152, 0, 0);">Everything we see in the mainstream news and medical headlines is always the printable and acceptable &#8220;tip of the iceberg&#8221;</span></mark>&#8212;by the time a systematic <span data-color="#ff00ff" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">multibillion-dollar scandal</span> is made known to the public, <mark data-color="#00ff00" style="background-color: rgb(0, 255, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">the news made public is the whitewashed version acceptable to the power structure</mark> because&#8212;obviously&#8212;the self-same power structure owns the means of &#8220;news&#8221; and historical documentation. </h3><h4>In 2019, the medical organization AMERICAN PAIN SOCIETY (APS) was forced into bankruptcy and dissolution because of relentless legal attacks against the organization for receiving bribes from the drug/opioid industry and then misleading doctors, patients, hospital systems and government departments into thinking that pain treatment deserved holy priority in healthcare and that opioids were &#8220;safe, effective, and nonaddictive&#8221;&#8212;the complete reverse/opposite of the truth. </h4><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

</h3><ol><li><p><strong>The problem is the <mark data-color="#ffff00" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">doctors</mark></strong>: Doctors are overly willing to sell any drug that is easy and &#8220;approved.&#8221; Hirsch of course gives doctors a beneficent pass for their contribution to this crisis because he assumes they are innocent and simply participated from the goodness of their heart. Hirsch can&#8217;t bring himself to talk about indoctrination, adoration of the drug paradigm, and doctors&#8217; laziness to prescribe whatever is easy and approved so they can get paid and go home with the most profit and least effort possible. Of course, Hirsch makes no mention of <a href="https://www.inflammation-mastery.com/p/download-the-digital-version-of-inflammation"><span data-color="#0000ff" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">nutritional alternatives to pain management because he himself is deaf and blind to such concepts, let alone their tactical implementation</span></a>. </p></li><li><p><strong>The problem is the <mark data-color="#ffff00" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">drug industry</mark></strong>: The drug industry will do whatever it wants to do and break whatever laws are available in order to make more money in the short term for it owners, administrators, and stockholders. The financial system &#8211; especially in the United States &#8211; incentivizes death, damage, and destruction in exchange for short-term profiteering. They will not hesitate to bribe a politicians, medical organizations, and individual doctors in order to sell their drugs.</p></li><li><p><strong>The problem is the <mark data-color="#ffff00" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">medical organizations</mark></strong>: We're not surprised that medical organizations will sell whatever drug in order to make some money on the side;  <strong>the only surprise here is that it took such a small amount of money&#8212;only about $1 million&#8212;in order to destroy this organization after they took the bait and ruined their claim to ethics and professionalism.</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>The problem is the <mark data-color="#ffff00" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Hospital accreditation and insurance reimbursement cabal</mark></strong>: After doctors and medical organizations have been bribed by the drug companies, now these policies begin to take take on formality because they become part of the new "standard of care&#8221; which may have started as a <strong>suggestion</strong> and then became a <strong>habit</strong> and then became a <strong>routine</strong> and then became <strong>the law of the land</strong>. Stupid is as stupid does and now hospitals will be forced to enforce the fakery and bribery imposed by the drug companies.</p></li><li><p><strong>The problem is the <mark data-color="#ffff00" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">profiteering patient-advocacy groups</mark></strong>:  Now we are going to complete our hall of mirrors and echo chamber by creating fake "patient advocacy groups" that appear to be grassroots organizations, but in fact are just extensions of the marketing department of drug companies. Everybody wants money and&#8212;like I've said since 2019&#8212; the drug companies have more cash available to them then most national governments so they can buy whatever they want, and obviously patient advocacy groups love to gain some official recognition and usable cash by gaining the endorsement of drug companies and medical organizations.</p></li><li><p><strong>The problem is the <mark data-color="#ffff00" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">government enforcers of corrupt policies</mark></strong>: Getting government organizations to enforce bogus drug policies is easy because most politicians are already friendly to drug companies and heavily invested in their stocks, as well as being the recipients of bribes which Americans call "lobbying.&#8221;</p></li></ol><p>Overall, I think Hirsch did a great job in this outline. And his ignorance about and therefore failure to mention nutritional alternatives for chronic pain management would've been a nice addition, but we can't expect him to be integrative. You would expect him to be ignorant about his own blind spots from his own education, and so his failure to mention anything about nutrition is ironically appropriate.</p><ul><li><p>Hirsch makes no mention of <a href="https://www.inflammation-mastery.com/p/download-the-digital-version-of-inflammation"><span>nutritional alternatives to pain management because he himself is deaf and blind to such concepts, let alone their tactical implementation</span></a>. </p></li></ul><h3><span data-color="#980000" style="color: rgb(152, 0, 0);">Now, to take this exercise another step farther, I want you to go back and look at that list of six items&#8212;6 points of corruption&#8212;but instead of thinking about corruption in pain management, I want you to think about corruption in </span></h3><h3><span data-color="#980000" style="color: rgb(152, 0, 0);">1. psychiatry&#8212;the horrid overuse of drugs known to increase the risk for suicide, especially in children, and then </span></h3><h3><span data-color="#980000" style="color: rgb(152, 0, 0);">2. cardiovascular disease prevention&#8212;statins for the masses, and then </span></h3><h3><span data-color="#980000" style="color: rgb(152, 0, 0);">3. government endorsed experimental injections for 80% of the global population starting in 2020: No benefit, billions of dollars in wasted effort and millions of injured patients, hundreds of thousands of suicides, divorces and bankruptcies and countless trillions of hours and years of lost education, occupation, and human advancement.</span></h3><h1><span data-color="#9900ff" style="color: rgb(153, 0, 255);">You will see that this same six-point structure of incompetence, corruption, and damage to the public applies across the board to many if not every aspect of medicine and public health.  </span></h1><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.inflammation-mastery.com/p/corruption-in-chronic-pain-management?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.inflammation-mastery.com/p/corruption-in-chronic-pain-management?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><blockquote><h4>American Pain Society accused of being pawn of big pharma&#8212;Group took nearly $1m from leading opioid manufacturers: </h4><p>A leading medical society, described by a US Senate report as a pawn of the pharmaceutical industry for its prominent role in pressuring doctors to prescribe opioids, is to shut down in the face of lawsuits blaming it for America&#8217;s worst drug epidemic. &#8230; Last year, a Senate report named the APS as part of a web of organizations it said were turned into &#8220;cheerleaders for opioids&#8221; by drug manufacturers&#8217; money. The society took nearly $1m from the leading opioid makers over the five years to 2017, including Purdue Pharma, the manufacturer of OxyContin &#8211; the drug that kickstarted an epidemic that has claimed more than 400,000 lives.</p><p>In 1996, the society issued an influential statement saying opioids were safe and effective for treatment of chronic pain and that the risk of addiction was low, a claim that has since been discredited. The co-author of the statement and chair of the committee that agreed it was a <strong>doctor, David Haddox, who was a paid speaker for Purdue Pharma.</strong></p><p><strong>Former APS presidents include Dr Russell Portenoy,</strong> a pain specialist who has since admitted to overstating claims for the safety and effectiveness of opioids in order to break down what he regarded as unwarranted resistance within the medical profession to prescribing them. <strong>Portenoy was then paid by Purdue Pharma to help drive sales of OxyContin.</strong> He has now agreed to testify against the drugmaker and other companies, and accused them of overstating the benefits and understating the dangers of opioids.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM"

But a diet-centered approach did not maximize drug profiteering, so the condition was renamed &#8220;<strong>syndrome X</strong>&#8221; (eg, <strong>Syndrome X: is it for real?</strong> <em>Genet Epidemiol </em>1998) in the 1990s and then renamed to &#8220;<strong>insulin resistance</strong>&#8221; to complicate the understanding and then sell more drugs, especially pancreas-pushing Sulfonylureas&#8212;given as pills to force the beta-cells in the pancreas to produce and release more insulin. Later, &#8220;<strong>bariatric surgery</strong>&#8221; was pushed as the definitive treatment, but only after many years of drug pushing to maximize profits from both.

not tell anyone anything except that it is something painful and that it is &#8220;complex&#8221; which is the entire goal of the nomenclature&#8212;make doctors think the condition is too complex to understand so they will be intimidated and passive so that they just quit thinking, quit searching, and just use the drug buffet guidelines to keep these patients on drugs for the rest of their lives,

Or, to leave metaphors and take a concrete example, imagine a man swayed and driven by a strong passion, whether for a woman or a theory. His world is quite altered. He is blind to everything behind him, new sounds are muffled and meaningless; though his perceptions were never so intimately felt in all their colour, light and music, and he seems to grasp them with his five senses together. All his judgments of value are changed for the worse; there is much he can no longer value, as he can scarcely feel it: he wonders that he has so long been the sport of strange words and opinions, that his recollections have run around in one unwearying circle and are yet too weak and weary to make a single step away from it. <em><strong>His whole case is most indefensible; it is narrow, ungrateful to the past, blind to danger, deaf to warnings</strong></em>, a small living eddy in a dead sea of night and forgetfulness. And yet this condition, unhistorical and antihistorical throughout, is the cradle not only of unjust action, but of every just and justifiable action in the world. <em><strong>No artist will paint his picture, no general win his victory, no nation gain its freedom, without having striven and yearned for it under those very &#8220;unhistorical&#8221; conditions.</strong></em> If the man of action, in Goethe&#8217;s phrase, is without conscience, he is also without knowledge: he forgets most things in order to do one, he is unjust to what is behind him, and only recognizes one law, the law of that which is to be. <em><strong>So he loves his work infinitely more than it deserves to be loved; and the best works are produced in such an ecstasy of love that they must always be unworthy of it, however great their worth otherwise</strong></em>.</p></blockquote><p>I am fortunate to have been able to attend the educational programs that I did, with medical school arguably being the most important in terms of &#8220;social esteem&#8221; (but not clinical value). Sure, I was lucky &#8212;and happy, or at least enthusiastic while losing my naivety&#8212; for the most part, but I was also working my ass off within a sadistic educational model that mostly had us jumping through hoops and not really learning what we needed to learn to be good clinicians. How unfortunate that jumping through worthless hoops in service of the drug paradigm would be seen as something worthy of high social esteem; for me, medical school was more like visiting an alternate reality for the sake of experience, with the added benefit of resulting in some tangible professional benefits: </p><ol><li><p>I went to medical school for the <em><strong>professional reason</strong></em> that I wanted more opportunities especially as I was then planning to continue my clinical practice in Texas, which had a very narrow range for chiropractic practice and zero licensure for naturopathic medicine.</p></li><li><p>I went to medical school for the <em><strong>personal reason</strong></em> to see, experience, and deconstruct-so-that-I-could-later-reconstruct-and-improve the educational model of famously known as &#8220;medical school.&#8221;</p></li><li><p>I went to medical school for the <em><strong>emotional reason</strong></em> to put myself though the most difficult experience I could find, with the hope of losing my naivety, with the hope of becoming less emotional, with the hope of seeing and acting with greater clarity.</p></li></ol><p>After dedicating myself to achieving the career of my dreams for 20 years, I did finally achieve that position in my early 40s. On paper, I had the perfect position at the perfect school in the perfect city and I should&#8217;ve been perfectly happy. In retrospect, of course, those were the most overworked and gaslit years of my life and I suppose in some way I was lucky that I was fired unceremoniously overnight by email and relieved of my misery.

by schools and educational organizations. I&#8217;ve had 2 two accounts starting in about 2011, but with the start of the globalist-plandemic censorship in 2020, Vimeo started transitioned from the &#8220;video platform for <strong>creators</strong>&#8221; to the video platform for <strong>censorship</strong>. Recently in March of 2025, I noticed that they started deleting my videos, without any warning, without any communication whatsoever. </p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.inflammation-mastery.com/p/ongoing-pharma-censorship-in-2026?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.inflammation-mastery.com/p/ongoing-pharma-censorship-in-2026?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><p>As I mentioned recently, I&#8217;ve been able to salvage some but not all of the videos from their platform, and of course I have them archived in external hard drives, but even those fail over time.
