These Assistant DAs are real jerks, aren’t they? They are also fundamentally wrong on facts. A perfect illustration of the observation of Shakespeare that the public good might benefit from hanging all the lawyers.
Be aware that the American Medical Association published Board of Trustees Study 22 in June 2019, in which they identified the practice of issuing “high prescribing letters” as an effort to blacklist doctors and their most vulnerable patients and a violation of legal due process. I can find that study if you need it.

Major Paper Published as the lead article in “Medical Research Archives” for September 2023, in the Journal of the European Society of Medicine debunks CDC opioid guidelines used BY dea-doj
THE CRIMINALIZATION OF MEDICINE
“Mr David Abrams is a very tough man with thick skin, and he, like his many other prosecutorial brethren, has been very effective in their courtroom presentations.
However, when one sheds light on their methodologies, which go against the basic foundation of criminal law within the United States and supported by a Foundation of Junk Science they all run like Cockroaches.”
…norman j. clement rph, dds., terence sasaki, md
This Critical Policy Review by Richard Lawhern, Ph.D. briefly outlines US public health policy’s history on regulating prescription opioid pain relievers. The author then compares recommendations and data sources of the updated November 2022 CDC guidelines against findings from a wide range of pertinent clinical literature.
Lawhern et al. found that the most recent effort by the CDC is fatally flawed by weak evidence and methodologically unsound research, disproportionate emphasis on risk, and failure to address genetically mediated variability in minimum effective opioid dose between individuals.
This major publication called “US Opioid Guidelines 2022- More and Less Than Meets the Eye,” points out:
“The United States is currently embroiled in a contentious and multi-dimensional public conversation about addiction-related mortality, chronic pain, and government regulation of clinicians who employ opioid analgesic pain relievers in treating pain. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has published an updated guideline to clinicians concerning appropriate practices for managing severe chronic pain utilizing opioid analgesic pain relievers.
Compounding these difficulties are indications of professional conflicts of interest and persistent anti-opioid bias by authors of the most recently released CDC guidelines.”
HOWEVER GROWING UNDER MR. ABRAMS’ DISHONESTY TREE IT WAS DISCOVERED
BY HIS USE OF MORPHINE MILLIGRAM EQUIVALENCE(MME) JUNK SCIENCE AND HIS FAILURE TO DISCUSS THE DISEASE & DISEASE STATE PATHOLOGY, DAVID ABRAMS, ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NEW YORK STATE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OWN VIDEO BELOW MORE THAN DEMONSTRATES HIS METHODOLOGIES TO BE COMPLETELY FRAUDULENT
” …Effects of clinical prescribing get lost in the noise of illegal street drugs. Over-prescribing never was and isn’t now the source of our US “opioid crisis…”
PROSECUTORIAL DISHONESTY
!!!ALARMING ABOVE VIDEO, SHOWS PROSECUTOR DAVID ABRAMS, USE OF DEBUNKED JUNKS SCIENCE TO GAIN CONVICTION OF DR. BARRY SLOAN!!!
DR. BARRY SLOAN, DO 49 YEARS SENTENCE MUST VOIDED AND HE MUST BE RELEASE!!!
LAWHERN STUDY DEBUNKING DOJ-DEA ENFORCEMENT FALSE NARRATIVE AND METHODOLOGIES
The Study is concluded as follows:
“Overall, the most significant – and methodologically fatal – error of CDC-2022 may be its failure to address the genetics of opioid metabolism. Genetic polymorphism in an expression of CYP450 liver enzymes introduces a wide range in opioid minimum effective dose and sensitivity to side effects between individuals. None of the outcomes reviews referenced in CDC- 2022 even acknowledged such variations, rendering their findings of very limited value, if not outright biased.
Of secondary import are persistent over-emphasis on “risk” and a naïve over-generalization of the supposed benefits of non-opioid or non-invasive therapy modalities as substitutions for opioid analgesics.
Taken in combination, these factors may warrant the repudiation of both CDC-2016 and CDC-2022 and withdrawal of CDC from policy-making roles in the practice of pain medicine.”

Rajendra Bothra, MD, writes:
I truly appreciate your time today listening to my concerns about India, and your investigative journalism can be very helpful in exposing the truth behind the “Racial Harassment” and targeting done by certain FBI agents and Prosecutors of the US Government. Human rights violations are happening here, right on this soil of America.
Please see our info and Indictment. 28 years of our business have been targeted and criminalized us and the government used RICO conspiracy charges to chain us and snatch the properties that we built with our hardworking family business. As we dive deeper, we see a widespread targeting issue beyond our family business, and many Indians and Asians have been targeted and continue to do so.
For Doctors and pharmacists, the government uses several agencies and mainly colludes with major insurance carriers like Blue Cross Blue Shield (a Major Insurance provider in the USA), U.S. Healthcare, etc.,”

Clinical practice: Emergency Medicine, Family Practice, Pediatrics, Pain Management, 1975-2006
MEDICAL DOCTOR, PH.D., BOARD CERTIFIED EMERGENCY MEDICINE, PAIN MANAGEMENT FELLOWSHIP TRAIN, 4 LIFE TERMS
VOLKMAN’S PRE-COG SUMMARY
Paul H. Volkman, MD, Ph.D., is a 76-year-old MD (The University of Chicago, 1974) with a Ph.D. in Pharmacology and Toxicology (The University of Chicago, 1972), board-certified in Emergency Medicine, Pediatrics, and Pain Management, and Fellowship Trained in Clinical Pharmacology (The University of Chicago, 1975-77).
Dr. Volkman has been in federal prison for 12 years for purportedly issuing controlled substance prescriptions to my pain patients “without a legitimate medical purpose.” However, The United States Supreme Court cases of Drs. Xiuli Ruan and Shakeel Khan overturned his convictions and held Section 841’s “knowingly or intentionally” mens rea applies to the statute’s “except as authorized” clause. Once a defendant meets the burden of producing evidence that his or her conduct was “authorized,” the Government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant knowingly or intentionally acted in an unauthorized manner. Pp. 4–16.. [ref.1]
Dr. Paul H. Volkman, MD., practiced Emergency Medicine, Pediatrics, Family Medicine, and Pain Management for 42 years, and despite the facts, he provided overwhelming expert testimony in medical malpractice lawsuits for 15 years. He was convicted of “Drug Trafficking and was sentenced to 4 life terms (totaling 850 years).
The Case of Paul H. Volkman, MD, Ph.D. The Government’s pre-crime criminal forensic, computerized, artificial bits of intelligence cannot measure or determine scienter; no published documents verify the validity and reliability of an artificial intelligence’s measure of a human mind’s scienter.
“We normally characterize this interpretive maxim as a presumption in favor of ‘scienter,’ by which we mean a presumption that criminal statutes require the degree of knowledge sufficient to ‘mak[e] a person legally responsible for the consequences of his or her act or omission.’ (quoting Black’s Law Dictionary 1547 (10th ed. 2014), brackets in the decision).
Most importantly, an article, “The Misinformed & Misguided Prescription Abuse Prevention Act: A Response to Delfino,” by Robert Capodilupo and Jacob James Rich, published in “Yale Law and Policy Review” — Inter Alia (Spring 2023), the authors pointed out that, while opioid prescribing has declined over the past decade, total opioid deaths have skyrocketed because of a spike in illicit opioid overdoses.
QLARANT DEBUNKED
Artificial intelligence may influence whether you can get pain medication.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated “that in 2021, about 52 million American adults suffered from chronic pain, and about 17 million people lived with severe pain that limited their daily activities. To manage the pain, many use prescription opioids, tracked in nearly every state through electronic databases known as prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs).”
From Market Place.org:
“Database-driven tracking has been linked to a decline in opioid prescriptions, but the evidence is mixed on its impact on curbing the epidemic. Yet, overdose deaths continue to plague the country, and many patients have said the monitoring systems leave them feeling stigmatized and cut off from pain relief.
Mapp said that “Qlarant’s algorithms are considered proprietary and our intellectual property” and that they have not been independently peer-reviewed.
“We do know that there’s going to be some error percentage, and we try to let our customers know,” Mapp said. “It sucks when we get it WRONG!!!!The Diversion Investigators merely rely upon unquantified suspicions. Assuming arguendo, the behaviors characterized as red flags by the DEA are indicators of criminal conduct for some and yet do not prove the substantial likelihood of “imminent harm to public health and safety” required by the statute.
ALGORITHM FRAUD GONE UNTOUCH BY CONGRESS
One firm, Qlarant, a Maryland-based technology company paid billions of dollars by State and Federal Government Agencies, said it has developed algorithms “to identify questionable behavior patterns and interactions for controlled substances, and for opioids in particular,” involving medical providers.
The company, in an online brochure, said its “extensive government work” includes partnerships with state and federal enforcement entities such as the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General, the FBI, and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
“…NarxCare’s risk scores are also susceptible to automation bias given that prescribers increasingly fear potential legal repercussions…”
In a promotional video, the company said its algorithms can “analyze a wide variety of data sources,” including court records, insurance claims, drug monitoring data, property records, and incarceration data to flag providers.
William Mapp, the company’s chief technology officer, stressed the final decision about what to do with that information is left up to people — not the algorithms.
Mapp said that “Qlarant’s algorithms are considered proprietary and our intellectual property” and that they have not been independently peer-reviewed.”
VIDEO INDENTIFIES HOW NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERALS AND DOJ-DEA SYSTEMS USES FRAUDULENT DATA TO CONVICT HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS
That data can be fed into NarxCare, a separate suite of tools to help medical professionals. Artificial intelligence may influence whether you can get pain medication and make decisions. Hundreds of healthcare facilities and five of the top six major pharmacy retailers also use NarxCare, the company said.
The platform generates three Narx Scores based on a patient’s prescription activity involving narcotics, sedatives, and stimulants. A peer-reviewed study showed the “Narx Score metric could serve as a useful initial universal prescription opioid-risk screener.”
NarxCare’s algorithm-generated “Overdose Risk Score” draws on a patient’s medication information from PDMPs — such as the number of doctors writing prescriptions, the number of pharmacies used, and drug dosage — to help medical providers assess a patient’s risk of opioid overdose.
Bamboo Health did not share the specific formula behind the algorithm or address questions about the accuracy of its Overdose Risk Score but said it continues to review and validate the algorithm behind it, based on current overdose trends.
NarxCare’s risk scores are also susceptible to automation bias given that prescribers increasingly fear potential legal repercussions related to prescribing opioids and other controlled medications.
For example, a prescriber who sees a report with a moderate to high NarxScore or overdose risk score very likely could, without further investigation of the patient’s health record, interpret the score as a “do not prescribe” directive and decide not to prescribe an opioid medication to a patient with pain.
CONVICTION DEBUNKED
FROM THE REPROBATES, A CULTURE OF CORRUPTION, “PRE-COG SUMMARY,” OF TERECE SASAKI, MD
Recall that in the story of Dr. Terence Sasaki’s case, no evidence was presented that any person had died, overdosed, or succumbed to addiction. In “The Reprobates,” Dr. Terence Sasaki, MD of Hawaii, went to New York University Medical as a Resident in Neuro-Endo-Vascular Surgery. [ref. 2.]
He is charged with crimes in places he had never been for the prescription he had never written and supposedly confessing to a 2005 crime in a 2007 interrogation the DEA claimed was unrecorded; Dr. Sasaki was indicted (2010) and then convicted (2012) of conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and launder money.
The article further documents the culture of persecution and corruption propagated by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), a rogue agency within the United States Judiciary, making up facts when they don’t exist and laws where there are no laws.
Most importantly, whose DEA’s actions have been sanctioned and tolerated by our government, threatening both the rules of law while undermining healthcare delivery, which begs to answer: Who dictates medical healthcare protocols, medical science or law enforcement?
For example, in the case of United States vs. Dr.Terence Sasaki, MD, the attached Ex. 1 DAWN (Drug Abuse Warning Network) Report, which supposedly showed the increasing danger of prescription drug misuse, exemplifies the pseudo-science used to support those lies.
Thus, Dr. Sasaki is more a victim of the Pre-crime ideology, a temporal paradox, suggesting that a crime has not occurred and that the crime has not occurred is a foregone conclusion.
As Dr. Terence Sasaki, MD., pointed out:
” If you look at the fine print, you see, “A drug misuse death is defined as a drug-related death caused by drugs, overmedication, all other accidental causes, and where the cause could not be determined” (pg1 of 4). This means that if a piano falls on top of you, you are counted as a drug misused death.1
If that were not enough,
“This report also includes all deaths related to drug misuse where an opiate (including natural and synthetic opiates) contributed to the death.
Opiates include prescription pain medications and heroin, which is included because its metabolite cannot always be distinguished from the metabolites of other opiates.” This means that EVERYONE who died of heroin is assumed & included in statistics for drug misuse death that SAMSHA & the DEA claim was due to prescriptions written by physicians.
But that’s not all because “The drugs acquired through legitimate prescriptions cannot be differentiated from diverted prescription medications or illicit drugs because information on the source is unavailable.”
LESLY POMPY, MD, FOUND NOT GUILTY
As reported in Market Place Tech;
“Some doctors who treat chronic pain patients say they too have been flagged by data systems and then lost their license to practice and were prosecuted.
Lesly Pompy, a pain medicine and addiction specialist in Monroe, Michigan, believes such systems were involved in a legal case against him. His medical office was raided by a mix of local and federal law enforcement agencies in 2016 because of his patterns in prescribing pain medicine.
A year after the raid, Pompy’s medical license was suspended. In 2018, he was indicted on charges of illegally distributing opioid pain medication and health care fraud.
“I knew I was taking care of patients in good faith,” he said. A federal jury in January 2023 acquitted him of all charges. He said he’s working to have his license restored.”
