“REPUDIATION OF CBC GUIDELINES”
Critiques of US Public Health Pain Policy
The compendium below, authored by Richard A. Lawhern et al., comprises 23 papers that critically examine US public health policy on pain management and addiction.
Dr. Lawhern argues that current policies, driven by what he views as misconceptions about the “opioid crisis,” have negatively impacted patients and healthcare providers.
Specifically, the papers challenge the scientific basis of prevailing anti-opioid bias and highlight alleged flaws in the 2016 and 2022 CDC and VA guidelines, suggesting they were based on known misinformation.
These authors further contend that these policies have led to patient suicides and the unjust prosecution of clinicians, advocating for the withdrawal of the guidelines as the only ethical course of action.
THE WEAPONIZATION OF FLAWED SCIENCE
For years, a prevailing narrative has driven public policy and law enforcement action, resulting in the adversarial prosecution of physicians.
In the cross-sectional study, the predominant use of an ER/LA opioid was linked to a significantly lower risk of prescription opioid misuse, and exposure to ADFs was associated with a reduced risk of both prescription opioid misuse and abuse.
This paper dissects that narrative, arguing that legal and administrative actions against clinicians based on the 2016 and 2022 CDC and VA opioid prescribing guidelines are fundamentally unfair. These actions rest on a scientifically unsupported basis, overlook a substantial body of conflicting evidence, and ultimately penalize doctors for fulfilling their professional duties to their patients.
“Under this reading of the outcomes of the PMRs, no further restrictions on availability of ER/LA opioids can be justified. The author strongly recommends that this finding be incorporated in the drug information leaflets provided with dispensed prescriptions of Long Acting Extended Release opioid analgesics.”
These findings are important from a risk management perspective, to inform prescribers regarding appropriate use of long-term opioid analgesic therapy and monitoring for at-risk patients.” Clinicians are being placed in direct conflict with their professional duties by the enforcement of scientifically insupportable public health guidelines.
The core thesis of this paper is that US public health and law enforcement policy on pain management is based on provably false assumptions regarding the so-called “opioid crisis.” This misdirected policy has led directly to the malicious prosecution of clinicians who are, in fact, guilty of no crime.
This paper posits that it is the public health “authorities” themselves who, through their intransigent advocacy of these fatally flawed guidelines, bear direct responsibility for the resulting public health catastrophe.
THE MEDICAL FIGHT FOR PAIN CARE HUMANITY
================
I particularly want to give credit to Monte Goddard, Tamera Stewart, Andrea Anderson and Bev Schechtman for their efforts to widely encourage patient and expert comments in this vitally important issue.
