“How ironic but boldly candid. Hospitals are now a function of corporate medicine, which prioritizes profits over patient care. The humanism element of medical care has no place in the formulaic algorithms that AI generate. What’s love got to do with it, like what’s healing the sick got to do with it? Just a second-hand commotion. An honorable profession is being gutted before our eyes.”

MME: No Clinical Application in Medical Science
This online article from “The Wrenn Wrap Report Speaks” argues that Morphine Milligram Equivalents (MME) are not clinically useful, asserting they fail to account for drug absorption or the complexities of addiction.
Authored by a team of medical professionals, the piece criticizes the current understanding of opioid receptors and the belief that addiction is solely dose-dependent, suggesting that liver detoxification rates are a more significant factor in increased dose needs.
The authors draw a parallel to diabetes treatment, highlighting how a better understanding of physiological processes leads to more effective interventions, and advocate for a similar approach to opioid addiction, using Suboxone as an example of a medication that functions by engaging opioid receptors without activating the euphoric phase.
The article ultimately calls for a more nuanced understanding of opioid physiology to improve treatment outcomes.
MME IGNORES THE FACTS
The problem with all the conversations about MME ignores the fact that no one knows what MME has to do with drug absorption and addiction. The lack of knowledge of opiate receptors and the belief that addiction is dose-dependent continues to be the missing link. The reason for the need for increasing doses in addiction is due to the increase in the metabolic rate of detoxification by the liver.
A. ( Does anyone see this and understand what I am pointing out?)
We treat diabetes better because we now understand what happens when we ingest food. As a result, we have metformin that keeps the liver from making sugar between meals. We have insulin when our beta cells become depleted.
B. We have medications to excrete sugar in the urine to decrease circulating sugar not taken up by the mitochondria. Why not understand the physiological process of opiates?
Suboxone works by attaching to the opiate receptors and preventing any other opiate from doing the same. The naloxone portion of Suboxone prevents the overdose process. Euphoria is avoided because that phase of the Mu receptor is not activated. Because of the ceiling effect, u can’t give too much Suboxone.
However due to the need for higher plasma levels of buprenorphine to prevent cravings high enough doses than are presently prescribed are needed. When we analyze a medication and process it correctly we will have more success in treating opiate addiction just as we do in treating diabetes.

Challenging DEA Opioid Policy and Advocating Medical Reform
1. What is the central argument made against Morphine Milligram Equivalents (MME)?
The central argument is that Morphine Milligram Equivalents (MME) have no practical application in clinical medical science. The author, Dr. Walter F. Wrenn III, argues that MME ignores crucial facts about drug absorption and addiction, specifically the lack of understanding regarding opiate receptors and the misconception that addiction is solely dose-dependent.
2. Why does the source claim MME “ignores the facts”?
MME is criticized for ignoring the fact that there’s a lack of understanding about what MME truly signifies in relation to drug absorption and addiction. The source highlights a knowledge gap concerning opiate receptors and the incorrect belief that addiction is simply a matter of dose. Instead, it suggests that the need for increasing doses in addiction is linked to an increased metabolic rate of detoxification by the liver.
3. How does the source draw a parallel between treating opiate addiction and treating diabetes?
The source uses the treatment of diabetes as an analogy to illustrate how opiate addiction should be approached. It points out that diabetes treatment has advanced because there’s a better understanding of the physiological processes involved (e.g., how the body processes food, the role of the liver, beta cells, and mitochondrial sugar uptake). The author argues that a similar in-depth understanding of the physiological process of opiates is needed for more successful treatment of opiate addiction, just as metformin and insulin revolutionized diabetes care.
4. What is the author’s perspective on Suboxone and its current prescription practices?
The author views Suboxone as a medication that works by attaching to opiate receptors, thereby preventing other opiates from binding and activating the euphoria-inducing phase of the Mu receptor. The naloxone component helps prevent overdose, and Suboxone also has a ceiling effect, making it difficult to administer too much. However, the author believes that higher plasma levels of buprenorphine (the active ingredient in Suboxone) than are currently prescribed are necessary to effectively prevent cravings and achieve greater success in treating opiate addiction.
5. Who are the key contributors and what is the overarching mission of the “youarewithinthenorms.com” blog?
The “youarewithinthenorms.com” blog is presented as a platform for “Medical Advocates: Dentistry, Pharmacy, Physicians,” with a mission to “expose the abuses and tyranny of United States Drug Enforcement Agency.” The list of contributors includes a diverse group of professionals and individuals, emphasizing a collective effort to bear witness to and hold the system accountable for perceived injustices, drawing a parallel to Darnella Frazier’s video of George Floyd’s murder.
6. What broader issues does the “youarewithinthenorms.com” blog address beyond MME?
While the provided excerpt focuses on MME, the categories and tags associated with the blog indicate that it addresses a broader range of issues. These include “Advocacy and Action,” “CHRONIC DISEASES: Pain-Anxiety,” “Prosecutorial Misconduct,” and “JUDICIAL MISCONDUCT.” Tags also highlight concerns such as “pill mills,” “black license,” “jimcrow,” and general issues with “opioids” and the “dea.” This suggests a focus on medical advocacy, particularly concerning pain management, and exposing systemic abuses within the legal and regulatory frameworks.
7. What is the significance of the phrase “YOU ARE WITHIN THE NORMS” to the blog?
“YOU ARE WITHIN THE NORMS” appears to be the core philosophy or motto of the blog, used repeatedly and even serving as part of its URL. While not explicitly defined in the provided text, the context suggests it’s a defiant statement. It might imply that the actions or perspectives presented by the blog’s advocates, despite being seen as unconventional or rebellious by authorities, are actually aligned with proper medical and ethical “norms,” while the established systems are deviating. It could also be a sarcastic commentary on how the system forces individuals to conform, or a rallying cry for those who feel unjustly targeted.
8. What is the implied relationship between law enforcement (DEA) and medical practice, according to the source?
The source strongly implies an adversarial relationship between the United States Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and medical practice, particularly concerning pain management and opioid prescribing. The blog explicitly states its mission is to “expose the abuses and tyranny of United States Drug Enforcement Agency,” suggesting that the DEA’s actions are detrimental to patients and healthcare professionals. The critique of MME and the calls for better understanding of opiate physiology can be seen as a direct challenge to what the authors perceive as overly simplistic or misguided regulatory interventions by entities like the DEA.
