   The Truth Is Out There; other countries and educated people such as Noam Chompsky,[ 911 book], Michael Ruppert, [deceased], Politicians, and, especially The CIA,, as they helped create-it.

   Thank you George, doctor Ziegler, and Steve for everything you do to continue fighting for the rights and dignity of people that do their best to live with chronic intractable pain.

   I pray that with your diligent work one day a viable compromise will be made among policy makers, addiction specialists, and pain management specialists so that patients who require low to ultra high dose opioid therapy will be able to access the medication they need in order to maintain a better quality of life without having to dread every interaction with providers to dispensaries.

   Furthermore, I hope chronic pain patients will once again be able to speak openly with their physicians about their pain without the fear of being disrespected, shamed, belittled, and made to feel like a criminal. It is shameful that patients who require high doses and who are (perceived to be), low income are suspect of being willing to commit a crime just because they are without adequate financial means. Poverty does not mean a person lacks a moral compass nor does it mean a person would choose to place another human being in harms way. I strongly believe this narrative must change among our policy makers as some have flat out accused chronic pain patients on high doses of defrauding the American government. I refuse to believe patients have been the major cause of diversion! I believe diversion has been primarily the act of drug cartel, traffickers, “last mile” heists, direct via manufactures, bulk thefts from pharmacies, hospitals, nursing homes and so forth. It is time to change the narrative! So, again, many thanks to the three of you for speaking up for those too weak to speak for themselves.

   Thank you once again Mr Knapp. We can only hope your colleagues across the planet will see the work you are doing to uncover the myths, and the facts, surrounding the plight of the chronic-intractable pain community.
