guess what I saw miley cyrus doing now?

miley cyrus seen using a bong, getting high, having fun and smiling, laughing is causing your young children to want to do what miley cyrus is doing.

What should you as a parent do to stop your children from doing what they saw miley cyrus doing?

At what age do your children need to be, for you to have a talk with them? Tween age that watches disney.

Sit down with your children and tell them it is wrong and that miley cyrus is reckless, careless and out of control. She could have been raped, killed or a close friend of hers could have made a video tape.

Guess what I saw miley cyrus doing now?

The friends that your children hang out with will not protect them, and in fact will blackmail you to make the video go away, and yet the video was still made public.

You have reason to be frightened.

PainKillers - Killed your children. Who do we blame?

Who do we blame for painkillers, killing our children?

Do we blame the doctor's who prescribed the medication? (recommended poison)

Do we blame the pharmaceutical company that made the gun and the bullets?

Do we blame the pharmacies for selling the drugs? (selling the guns and bullets)

Do we blame the parents for supplying their children with the money or insurance to purchase the drugs?

Blaming your children for dying because they took to many drugs you bought them, is an argument that should never have to be made.

In my blog, I have previously wrote to you about, Dr. Nathan Kuemmerle, who was arrested for possible over prescribing drugs to his patients. Well guess what?  Dr. Nathan Kuemmerle is not the only medical doctor who prescribed drugs to his patients, that may have contributed to his patients over dosing and dying.

You may or may not know about another MD in Kansas, who along with his wife ( a registered nurse) were responsible for the overdose deaths of at least 68 children, from pain killer medication. They call the duo "the doctor wife conspiracy", but prosecutors say no matter what you call it, what Dr. Stephen Schneider and his wife, Linda, did was against the law.

Now appealing their convictions in a case highlighting the medical treatment of chronic pain sufferers and prescription drug abuse.

If a jury does not know that taking prescription drugs may kill you, then they are already brain dead. Its like saying, I did not know a loaded gun is dangerous. (One potential juror was excused because he indicated in his questionnaire that he already formed opinions.)

A jury sent the couple to jail for conspiring to profit from illegally prescribing painkillers at a clinic linked to 107 overdoses, 68 of them deadly.

Dr. Stephen Schneider MD, 56, ran the Schneider Medical clinic near Wichita, Kansas. His wife Linda Schneider worked as a nurse.

Linda Schneider's lawyer said this of his client, which is a great description of the epidemic."Most doctors will look at this and think ... 'I am board certified. I have been trained. I can trust all my patients,"' Byers said. "And then the DEA comes through kicking their door, in ninja masks, guns in their faces - and they go away for 20 to life."

The Schneiders are involved in the blame game, which they are part of by default. While the blame could go to anyone of a number of guilty people such as the parents, the pharmaceutical companies, the pharmacies, the doctors. Take your pick as they are all guilty in my eyes. (We sometimes refer to them as enablers)

U.S. Attorney Lanny Welch had little sympathy for the Schneiders.
"The abuse of prescription drugs is a serious national public health concern," he said in a statement. "The evidence in this case of patients suffering from overdose and death points to the fact that when prescription painkillers are unlawfully prescribed, they can be as dangerous as illegal drugs."

Assistant U.S. Attorney Tanya Treadway said Stephen and Linda Schneider illegally prescribed painkillers that led to fatal overdoses of 68 patients. The couple is directly charged with contributing to the deaths of 21 people.

Approximately 100 potential jurors have been summoned to the federal courthouse in Wichita, after completing lengthy pre-trial questionnaires. ( The problem is that the jurors are just as guilty as the parents who ignorintly get their children hooked on prescription drugs at an early age. While you may call it brainwashing, or misinformation of the public with billions of dollars in advertising by the pharmaceutical industry that their drugs are safe, we see that this is simply not true)

U.S. District Judge Monti Belot is the Schneider case Judge.
Lawrence Williamson, one of the Schneiders' lawyers asked:
Would you automatically turn against Dr. Schneider if he was told 68 patients died while in Schneider's care?

What did Linda Schneider do wrong?
Linda Schneider is also charged with signing her husband's name on prescriptions when he wasn't in the office.

How quickly did children start dieing?
The same year the clinic opened, prosecutors say, patients began to die from overdoses of painkillers.
Prosecutors say the Schneider Clinic did not change its course of treatment and practices, despite the deaths.
The indictment claims the Schneider Clinic refilled prescriptions earlier and more often than they were suppose to and would continue to give dangerous mixes of narcotics amid signs that the drugs were making the patients worse.

This case should scare other doctors and hospitals who prescribe the same medications.
Other doctors and hospitals took notice."The abuse of prescription drugs is a serious national public health concern," U.S. Attorney Lanny Welch said in a statement

During the six years the Schneider clinic operated, prosecutors say, it billed more than $10 million for drugs and services.

HAYSVILLE DOCTOR AND WIFE SENTENCED IN DEADLY PRESCRIPTION OVERDOSES
WICHITA, KAN. – A Haysville, Kan., physician and his wife have been sentenced to federal prison for illegally distributing prescription pain killers to patients who overdosed on them, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said today.

Stephen J. Schneider, 57, was sentenced to 30 years. His wife, Linda K. Schneider, 52, was sentenced to 33 years in federal prison. U.S. District Judge Monti L. Belot pronounced sentence during a hearing in U.S. District Court in Wichita.
“The Schneiders put money before medicine,” U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said. “They illegally dispensed prescription pain killers without a medical purpose and without regard to the fact their patients were suffering from physical and mental conditions that made them vulnerable to the risks of addiction, overdose and death.”
“Judge Belot described it well,” Grissom added, “when he called it the story of an avoidable tragedy motivated by greed.”

In June 2010, after a trial that lasted eight weeks, a jury returned guilty verdicts against the Schneiders on charges including conspiracy, unlawful distribution of controlled substances, health care fraud and money laundering. They were taken into custody pending sentencing.
The government’s case focused on 21 of 68 patients who died of drug overdoses, and examined how the Schneiders illegally dispensed controlled prescription drugs, including Oxycodone (Oxycontin, Percocet), Fentanyl (Actiq, Duragesic), Morphine (Avinza), Methadone, Hydrocodone (Lortab), Diazepam (Valium), Alprazolam (Xanax), and Clonazepam (Klonopin).
During trial, the government’s case centered on the years from 2002 to 2008, when Stephen Schneider saw patients and Linda Schneider, a licensed practical nurse, managed the business of Schneider Medical Clinic at 7030 S. Broadway in Haysville. Prosecutors presented evidence that the Schneiders billed more than $4 million to Medicaid and other health insurance providers while they operated the clinic unlawfully, distributing controlled substances without a legitimate medical purpose, falsifying insurance claims, and engaging in unlawful financial transactions with the proceeds of the crimes.
The jury convicted Stephen Schneider on the following counts:
– one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud (count one)
– four counts of unlawful distribution of controlled substances resulting the death of a patient (counts 2, 3, 4 and 5)
– one count of unlawfully distributing controlled substances, (count 6)
– three counts of health care fraud resulting in a death (counts 7, 8 and 9)
– eight counts of submitting false claims to Medicaid and private insurers (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
– two counts of money laundering (counts 26 and 28).
Stephen Schneider was acquitted on 15 money laundering counts (counts 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33 and 34).
The jury convicted Linda Schneider on the following counts:
– one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud (count one)
– four counts of aiding and abetting unlawful distribution of controlled substances resulting the death of a patient (counts 2, 3, 4 and 5)
– one count of aiding and abetting unlawfully distributing controlled substances, (counts 6)
– three counts of health care fraud unlawfully resulting in a death (counts 7, 8 and 9)
– eight counts of aiding and abetting submitting false claims to Medicaid and private insurers (counts 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17)
– Fifteen counts of money laundering (counts 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34).
Linda Schneider was acquitted on two money laundering counts (counts 23 and 24)

Grissom commended the following agencies and individuals who worked on the case: The Department of Health and Human Services, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Kansas Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud and Abuse Division, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Tanya Treadway, Jon P. Fleenor, and Special Assistant United States Attorney Jabari Wamble, who prosecuted the case.

##





What kind of spin do the guilty put on the issues? Byers blamed the prosecutions nationwide of doctors such as Schneider on policy differences over opioid medications between the Food and Drug Administration that has approved them for pain and the Drug Enforcement Administration, which enforces the Controlled Substances Act. "It is a battle between the DEA and FDA – and the doctors are all the casualties," Byers said. Byers said he has talked to other doctors whose clinics were recently raided by the DEA. Along with conspiracy, the Schneiders were found guilty of five counts of unlawfully writing prescriptions and 11 charges of health care fraud. They also faced 17 money laundering counts. Stephen Schneider was found guilty on two of those counts; Linda Schneider was found guilty of 15 money laundering charges. The government is seeking forfeiture of their assets, but it will be up to the judge to later decide the amount. No sentencing date has been set. Each faces up to a life sentence, with the most serious counts carrying a minimum of 20 years in prison. Jurors deliberated for seven days before concluding the doctor had prescribed controlled substances to 68 patients who eventually died. They also found the doctor's prescriptions led to 107 overdoses at local emergency rooms. The jury further determined that the Schneiders failed to change the clinic's prescription practices despite having notice of overdoses and deaths from the medical examiner, hospitals, law enforcement family members and others. The doctor turned to face his wife in apparent surprise when the first guilty verdict on conspiracy to commit health care fraud was read. Both then stared down despondently as the rest of the 17-page verdict form was read. The doctor appeared stoic when his wife tearfully told her parents and teenage daughters in the gallery that she couldn't go with them as U.S. District Judge Monti Belot cleared the courtroom. The family left without commenting to reporters. The doctor's attorney, Lawrence Williamson, said after the verdict that it was "a sad day for our justice system." "Dr. Schneider was practicing medicine – he wasn't being a drug dealer," Williamson said. Siobhan Reynolds, president of the Pain Relief Network, has championed the Schneiders' case. She contends the prosecution of doctors who prescribe high doses of pain relievers is leading to undertreatment of chronic pain. "The crisis in pain treatment is going to deepen even further," Reynolds said outside the courtroom. "People are going to have trouble getting care because doctors are afraid this is going to happen to them."  What pharmaceutical company is funding the pain relief network, and should all medical doctors be worried? Yes, all medical doctors should be worried, because none can watch or trust their patients to take the proper amount of drugs. Sadly, the medical doctors are not through killing our children.

TMZ goes easy on drug pushing medical doctor criminals

Adderall and Ritalin for your children

This post is in response to the TMZ article "ADDERALL may have unhinged.."


Dr. Sober Companion wants to know: Why is TMZ going easy on drug pushing MD's who make their prescription pad available to celebrity and wealthy addicts?

Instead of coming right out to just say that MD's who prescribe ADDERALL for the catch all attention deficit hyperactivty disorder (ADHD), which makes addicts out of children, who are required to be using to attend school, they only used the celebrity tie in, which makes the epidemic seem isolated to the rich and famous.


If Medical Doctor and teacher across the United States order it, they must know whats right for your children? Right?

WRONG !!!

While MD's keep a waiting room full of newly addicted children, the teachers just want an easy teaching job, where children are doped up on drugs, and made into young addicted zombies (yaz)

Now back to TMZ, who went lightly on the mention of MD's misdiagnosing ADDERALL drug addict celebrity convict lindsay lohan.

When situations like this arise, where the spotlight is shining on information that you are not supposed to know about; about the pharmaceutical industry coming up with ingenius fake diagnosis to push their drugs and make billions while addicting new customers every day.

Its not a misdiagnosis, but it is a fraud on the American public.

A fraud and negligence that turns your children into drug addicts while you pay for the doctor visit and the prescription that addicts your children.

Snap out of the spell that makes you think that medical doctors and teachers know whats right for your children.

The harshest reality that TMZ points out, and makes little use of, is that medical doctors know that ADDERALL is just a prescription version of coccaine or methamphetamine.

TMZ continues to point out that medical doctors also prescribe AMBIEN, so the drug addicts high on ADDERALL can get to sleep.

TMZ, you got it all wrong. Its not just an isolated bad medical diagnosis, its fraud against the american public.

Some idiots still believe that marijuana is the gateway drug.

Dear mom and dad,
Open your eyes to this fraud against you and your children. Stop the pharmaceutical companies and medical doctors from dumping drugs into your childrens mouths. You must put your foot down, once and for all.

You may have gotten the message in time to save your children before its to late.

Dr. Sober Companion is mad as hell, and needs your support against the pharmaceutical industry.

While the medical doctors are the pushers in this fraudulent scheme, and very much complicent, its the makers of these drugs that need to be stopped.

The fraud does not stop with drug makers and medical doctors.

The FDA also needs a severe scrubbing and investigation into how the deep pocketed pharmaceutical industry bribed and paid the FDA to look the other way to allowing pharmaceutical coccaine and methamphetamine
into your local Walmart, Target and Costco pharmacies?

Teachers unions as well as individual teachers are also part of the fraudulent scheme of bringing drugs into the school.

Questions for teachers:
Have you no shame?
How can you sleep at night, knowing what you did to the children?
You gave them an education in drug addiction that will stick with them for the rest of their lives.

The media has kept quiet as well, because the pharmaceutical industry is so important to their budgets. Biased media is part of the fraudulent scheme against you and your children.


Now think about scenarios like this:

Yes, the pilot who crashed the plane tested positive for drug use, but he had a prescription.

Yes, the driver that killed dozens was a drug addict, but he also had a prescription.

Yes, the children who killed their classmates and then killed themselves were on medications, but they did have a prescription.

Do you get the point that Dr. Sober Companion is trying to make? Dr. Sober Companion is trying to save your childrens life, and you from grief and guilt.

While TMZ's article only discussed ADDERALL and AMBIEN, there are drugs like ritalin that also are being prescribed to your children, and have the same effects in making your children addicted.

Dr. Sober Companion is here when you need us.

A celebrities father fights the medical industry for getting his child hooked

Finally a parent is fighting the medical industry, by demanding an investigation into medical doctors prescribing highly addictive drugs to his child. While it may be for the wrong reasons, the father is Michael Lohan, who appears to have a need to be in the press almost as much as his daughter lindsay lohan. regardless of his motive, THIS PARENT SEEMS TO STAND ALONE AGAINST MEDICAL DOCTORS.

It disturbed dr. sober companion, that addicted inmates, could keep their prescriptions filled even when incarcerated. There goes the thought of going cold turkey.

A couple months ago, Dr. Nathan Kuemmerle, was arrested for possible over prescribing drugs to his patients, something that was revealed in his case was very interesting to dr. sober companion, and that was that the state board had records of what doctors prescribed what medications and how much they prescribed. This information I thought, could be so useful to determine which medical doctor was a doctor feelgood, the kind that addicts shop for. This list would be so revealing, if it made it public. The question is, can the attorney general get this list, and start going after the doctors? Other questions might arise, what would be considered prescribing to much? A very good question, but the answer is much easier to determine. The answer is which doctors are on the top of the spectrum, of over prescribing. While Dr. Nathan Kuemmerle, was the number 1 prescriber of highly addictive drugs, who else is in the top 10 of over prescribing. Could we at least get the top 5? i would be a little hapier if we could even get the runner up, to the king of over prescribing Dr. Nathan Kuemmerle.

Its said that the law of california is broken, when overprescribing occurs. The question for a long time has been will the medical board keep quiet about the list, or will they reveal the scumbags who are killing your son and daughter, by first getting them addicted when they are young, and then by continuing to give them their drugs. Mr. Lohan is right about this situation, and what it might do to stop these doctors from operating. Mr. lohan wants them to held accountable for their actions, and they should.
Is your son or daughter getting their fix, legally through prescription? Isn't it time you join Michael Lohan in his fight against unscrupulous doctors who addic their children.

Lindsay Lohan - prescription drug user for as long as she can remember

Lindsay Lohan - prescription drug user for as long as she can remember

Its not every day that dr. sober companion has access to a random drug test of a celebrity, unless of course they are clients of dr. sober companion. It is really unbelievable the access that the press and public have to peoples private information. Then again, you lose your rights if you are arrested and convicted.

Isn't that reason enough to hire a sober companion, to keep your name out of the press, and to keep your ass out of jail? We think you will agree, that the information that websites like TMZ got on Lyndsay Lohan is way to much.

We used to rely on drug addicts to supply us with the names of the current medications of choice, but now we know that celebrities like Lyndsay Lohan are being prescribed Ambien and Adderall, and Dilaudid -- an extremely powerful painkiller ... often compared to morphine ... and even heroin.

The information that we are getting is from TMZ, who has various sources, including Lindsay Lohan's probation officer, who made a report that lists 5 drugs Lindsay Lohan is allowed to take, under the terms of probation.

The 5 drugs are:
Zoloft (antidepressant)
Trazodone (antidepressant)
Adderall (amphetamine stimulant to control ADHD)
Nexium (acid reflux)
Dilaudid (opiate pain killer) DENTAL PAIN?

Judge Marsha Revel appointed Dr. Kaushal Sharma to evaluate Lindsay Lohan, and then make recommendations to the court.

If you compare the drugs Lyndsay Lohan is allowed, to celebrities who overdosed, or just plain common drug addicts, the thing that sets them apart is access to prescriptions, ability to buy them or have someone buy for them, and ability to try and fool the public.

Enablers of celebrities, like parents and friends, will not try and stop the addict if they want to continue receiving their allowances or whatever else they get in return for looking the other way. If you consider the statement "The defendant indicates she has been on the same prescription medication for as long as she can remember.", and you consider the fact that Lyndsay is still very young and in her twenties, it must have been her mother that originally helped her obtain the prescriptions and medical care. Any minor, must have their parents permission to be treated. Why would a parent allow their child amphetamines and opiates?

Dr. sober companion will help our clients to test negative for opiates and amphetamines because we remove all drugs and alcohol and remove all replacement drugs which have the same properties as street drugs, but are much more potent. A parent must be fooling themselves if they are talked into accepting replacement therapy drugs as a way to help their children, by medical doctors. READ THE DRUG TEST! POSITIVE FOR AMPHETAMINES AND POSITIVE FOR OPIATES!

Stop being so gullible to a medical doctors recommendations that you are helping your children. The only way to test negative for drug and alcohol use is to remove everything and totally abstain.

Medical proof for prescription drug use, is a lie perpetrated by the medical industry, which is largely funded by the pharmaceutical industry.

Submitting your children to random drug tests that you know damn well beforehand that the test will be positive, is a cruel joke played on your children. Dear Parents, are you that cruel to your children?

Are you that stupid?

Did Dr. Nathan Kuemmerle kill your son or daughter or just get them addicted?

So they got one medical doctor out of thousands just like him, that killed your son and daughter, or got them addicted to drugs. Its not only the medical doctors they need to go after, but the pharmaceutical companies and the politicians that gave them a monopoly and immunity.

Dr. Sober Companion is happy, that one more medical doctor is off the streets, but now the families of all the victims need to come forward and make a bigger case against the pharmaceutical companies for causing over doses, unneeded deaths and unstoppable addictions, that are fueled by the medical industry.

Dr. Sober companion is hoping and praying that another medical doctor does not take the place of this criminal, that killed your son and daughter.

Release No. 10-065
April 13, 2010


WEST HOLLYWOOD PSYCHIATRIST, OFFICE MANAGER ARRESTED ON CHARGES OF WRITING HUGE NUMBER OF PRESCRIPTIONS FOR ADDICTIVE DRUGS WITHOUT EXAMINING CASH-PAYING ‘PATIENTS’
A doctor who maintains a clinic in West Hollywood and his office manager were arrested this afternoon on federal charges of conspiring to distribute controlled substances for writing thousands of prescriptions for highly addictive drugs for “patients” he did not examine and who simply paid cash for the prescriptions.
Dr. Nathan Kuemmerle, 37, of Hollywood, was arrested without incident at his residence by special agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration and officers with the Redondo Beach Police Department.
Antonie “Tony” Phillips, 28, of the Koreatown district of Los Angeles, was also arrested without incident this afternoon at Kuemmerle’s clinic.
Both men were charged in a criminal complaint filed on Friday in United States District court that accuses both of conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, a charge that carries a penalty of up to 20 years in federal prison.
The arrests follow a joint investigation by the Redondo Beach Police Department and the DEA’s Tactical Diversion Squad, which is charged with investigating all allegations of diversion of legal drugs into the illicit market. The investigation used informants and undercover techniques to develop a 98-page affidavit that outlines how Kuemmerle received patients without appointments, wrote prescriptions for drugs like Adderall and Xanax during meetings that lasted only a few minutes, and took cash payments that he simply stuffed into his pockets.
After analyzing Kuemmerle’s prescribing history and reviewing undercover tapes made at the medical clinic, a San Diego-based psychiatrist concluded that “there is overwhelming evidence that Dr. Kuemmerle is running a quintessential ‘pill mill.’” From the beginning of 2006 through late November 2009, Kuemmerle wrote 14,529 prescriptions for a variety of controlled substances, meaning that he averaged 15 prescriptions during his normal five-hour workday, according to the report by Dr. Steven Ornish, who is also an associate clinical professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego.
“Dr. Kuemmerle’s professional conduct has been egregious, grossly negligent, flagrantly incompetent, and dangerous, and this is not a close call,” Dr. Ornish wrote.
The affidavit in support of the criminal complaint, where Dr. Ornish’s report is summarized, also notes that during 2009 Kuemmerle wrote more prescriptions for the largest available dosage of amphetamine salts – the generic name for Adderall – than any other doctor in California, and that he wrote 3½ times more amphetamine salts prescriptions than the number two prescriber of the drug. The affidavit also notes that an analysis of records from the years 2006 through November 2009 shows that Kuemmerle was the state’s second-largest prescriber of all Schedule II drugs, which include the highly addictive substances amphetamine salts (Adderall), oxycodone (OxyContin), hydrocodone (Vicodin and Norco), and alprazolam (Xanax).
“The misuse of prescription drugs remains a great cause for concern,” said Timothy J. Landrum, the Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration in Los Angeles. “In 2008, there were 2.5 million people aged 12 and older who used prescription drugs non-medically for the first time – that is almost 7,000 new users every day. It is unfortunate that any physician would abuse their position of trust in our communities by irresponsibly prescribing these powerful drugs. The DEA is committed to working with our law enforcement partners to ensure physicians such as Dr. Kuemmerle are brought to justice.”
Kuemmerle is a physician specializing in psychiatry who obtained his medical license in 2004. He operates a clinic on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood, where Phillips is the office manager. According to the affidavit, Phillips sometimes initially discussed with the “patients” what drugs they wanted, and he often prepared prescriptions for Kuemmerle’s signature.
The investigation into Kuemmerle began in August 2009 when Redondo Beach Police arrested an individual who had offered Adderall for sale on Craigslist. That individual pointed to Kuemmerle as the source of the Adderall, telling the police that Kuemmerle wrote prescriptions on numerous occasions without any medical examination, and that the doctor would write prescriptions for various names during a single visit. According to the affidavit, Kuemmerle later wrote prescriptions for Subutex, which at $15 a tablet was expensive, so the doctor suggested that the individual sell Adderall on Craigslist to help pay for the Subutex, an opiate which is used to treat opiate addictions.
The information from this informant was corroborated by other informants and led to a series of undercover buys by Redondo Beach Police Officers and Special Agents with the DEA, according to the affidavit. The undercover law enforcement officials visited Kuemmerle’s clinic seven times in recent months, and each time they were given prescriptions of Adderall or Xanax in exchange for cash. An undercover police officer received prescriptions for both drugs for $150 during a visit that lasted only eight minutes.
Kuemmerle and Phillips are expected to make their initial court appearances tomorrow in United States District Court in Los Angeles.
A criminal complaint contains allegations that a defendant has committed a crime. Every defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty in court.
Kuemmerle is the latest medical doctor to be charged in a drug “diversion” case where legitimate medicine is diverted to illegal uses. In an unrelated case, a Duarte doctor is scheduled to be sentenced tomorrow afternoon after pleading guilty to distributing huge quantities of painkillers in exchange for cash (see: http://www.justice.gov/usao/cac/pressroom/pr2009/010.html).
#####


In the above press release, an informant was mentioned. Was the informant, david lerman, who posed as patients in many undercover operations for TV shows like NBC's highly rated Today Show? How important was the information provided by the informant for burrying the doctor?

sarah silverman is overprescribed mood altering drugs

sarah silverman is overprescribed mood altering drugs while still a child.

will sarah silverman soon need a sober companion to save her life?

A young sarah silverman may have become what she is today, because as a child, she could not fight everyone who told her she had to take medication.

teachers, principle, school counselors, school psychologist, parents, medial doctors and pharmacists all teamed up against a little girl, and told her she had to take drugs. the more she complained, the more drugs they put her on.

"you're not going to believe this, but my shrink eventually had me taking four xanax four times a day. 16 xanax a day, for a 14 year old girl. she upped my dose every time. she should be in prison." - from april 2010 playboy magazine interview with sarah silverman

this is normal, and dr. sober companion agrees with sarah silverman that her medical doctor should be in prison

NBC today show drug addiction minus a sober companion spells disaster

NBC today show drug addiction minus a sober companion spells disaster. NBC was caught replaying the famous doctor shopping segment, minus dr. sober companion (Dr. Rob Tencer DC, BSc), whom originally appeared in the segment.

Dr. Sober Companion on the today show, NBC



Dr. sober companion is once again compelled to set the record straight.

It was recently brought to the attention of dr. sober companion, that NBC today show michael jackson doctor shopping segment, featuring dr. Sober companion and the under cover work of david lerman was replayed, this time in connection with the corey haim drug overdose from obtaining drugs from dr. Feelgood, much in the same way that was discovered and presented by dr. sober companion and his guest david lerman.


This time though, the part about dr. Tencer wanting to save lives, was removed from the segment, while keeping david lerman's under cover dr. shopping segment.


We at dr. sober companion wanted to correct a few errors in the NBC today show segment.
First, the person described as working for dr. Sober companion and shown going under cover in dr. feelgood offices to gain the prescriptions was done not by an employee, nor was he ever a patient, but by a person named david lerman, who was so masterful at obtaining prescriptions from doctors, because he himself is an addicted alcoholic and drug addict, who was just showing his own technique of doctor shopping.

David Lerman paid to score prescriptions by NBC producers

Mr. Lerman was not acting as an addict in the segment, and was not employed by dr. Sober companion, he was however compensated by NBC, either in promises or money or both.

Dr. Sober companion was never compensated for appearing on the NBC today show,
and did not ask for compensation. Dr. Sober companion is trying to reveal the truth, and wanted his message to be heard.

David Lerman as a patient needing drug prescriptions

I brought david lerman (drug addict) with me to the segment to give the american public a reality of abuse of pharmaceutical drugs by addicts and to show that medical doctors are very involved in aiding drug addicts, with their drug addictions. (It did not turn out as I thought it would, as they removed almost everything I said, and only kept the drug addict scoring prescriptions.)

Its time for the medical profession to bare the blame for killing children. Its also time for pharmaceutical companies to take the blame for producing killing devices, far worse than any street drug, gun or other means of killing.

Its time for everyone who has been brainwashed to snap out of their spell, and see
what is really going on with the medical profession and the pharmaceutical industry, and the politicians who have been bought off, to look the other way. Its time to remove the advertising on TV, billboards and print that is far more life threatening than camel cigarette cartoon ads.

NBC and other networks should be ashamed of themselves for accepting the pharmaceutical industry blood money, or they should also be held accountable for the deaths from drug
addiction and forms of murder such as overdosing.

Its also time to rethink the fake research and testing documents or to place further blame on the FDA, for their complicity in the fraud of the medical industry.

The killing must stop. The murderers must be brought to justice. Dr. Sober companion may have been silenced from his today show appearance, but the truth will always prevail. While mr. Lerman hides behind a vail, has his voice changed, or is seen in shadow, make no mistake, he is being enabled by greedy TV producers who care nothing for an addict, except how well he can score drugs. Mr. Lerman needs help, but after his lies and thefts from dr. Tencer, he is no
longer welcome to come to us.

David Lerman is not the victim of tv producers, because he actually shops his abilities for scoring drugs to the highest bidders.

This kind of madness makes for compelling TV

The only real drug expert is an addict, and the only real sober companion is one that demands total abstinence from enablers and replacement therapies as well as pharmaceutical drugs and street drugs.

Dr. Sober companion's main focus is to keep your children alive and stop them from becoming addicts, and to stop you from enabling your own children without knowing you are the cause of their addictions.

parents do not consider prescription drugs bad

There is a problem in America and other countries where medical doctors and pharmaceutical companies have brainwashed the public into thinking that illegal drugs are bad and prescription drugs are good. PARENTS ARE CLUELESS

Could Dr. Sober Companion have saved Brittany Murphy from dieing so young? The answer is YES, But as a parent, armed with skepticism for ANY prescription drugs given to your children, you can also save your children's lives. Stop being so gullible to the medical industry, who are nothing more than glorified drug pushers.

Many times, prescription drugs are just pharmaceutical grade equivalents for speed (cocaine effects), and similar street drugs. Because they are prescribed, they are seemingly harmless and non-addicting. This is farthest from the truth. Dr. Sober Companion would begin by removing all prescription drugs from your children's environment, and finding why they have been taking them. The menace medical doctor who prescribed them must be stopped, from poisoning any more children.

While I don't talk about removing life sustaining drugs, I do talk about ADD drugs, and other seemingly harmless drugs, that even your child's teacher recommended.

Parents who want the best for their children, send them to drug pushing medical doctors. The parents knowingly allow the prescriptions, and even pay for them, trusting the medical doctor who prescribed them wholeheartedly. Have you ever done this for your children?

You have a problem and cannot completely be blamed, because of your trust of your family doctor. Please wake up to the fact that your medical doctors are really to blame, and all the fake medical research and the good looking (playmate quality) pharmaceutical rep, who lobbies the medical doctor to prescribe their meds.

Dr. Sober Companion knows, that you, as a parent are bombarded daily, by advertising on supposedly ad-free satellite radio, television (especially NBC), and magazines and newspapers. In politics, the pharmaceutical companies spend billions on changing healthcare and inclusion of their drugs while excluding cheaper canadian imports.

Dr. Sober Companion truly believes that Brittany Murphy’s husband Simon Monjack does not understand the concept that prescription drugs kill, more than illegal drugs, when he makes the foolish statement: “In all the time I’ve known her, she has never, and I repeat NEVER, done drugs. Not a line of cocaine, not a hit from a joint, nothing. She was anti-drugs. There are no drugs involved. If any were, I would not be on the phone with you,” the agent explains. (he does not refer to any prescription's)

But if no illegal substances were involved in Brittany’s odd actions, then how can the hordes of prescription medication found in the couple’s bathroom be explained?

Brittany’s mother, Sharon Murphy, explains to the Daily Beast that her daughter was diagnosed with a rare heart condition, mitral valve prolapse, and suffered from hypoglycemia, but was only taking Sarafem for menstrual symptoms and Klonepan for anxiety. (what about the other prescription bottles found?)

While Simon and Brittany's mother Sharon are not completely to blame, they were gullable at protecting Brittany from all the prescription drugs that Brittany Murphy consumed. Being on set and protecting a petite and frail actress from mean and obnoxious studio heads and directors was not where Brittany needed the most help.

In the wake of young actress Brittany Murphy’s sudden death, her husband Simon Monjack

I was never, ever drunk there… I was ‘difficult’ because I was the enforcer to protect Brittany. She was far too nice to stand up to directors and producers who wanted her to work to exhaustion.”


Sharon Murphy reveals that Simon loved her daughter as she explains to the Daily Beast, “Simon was her soul mate, the love of her life. They don’t understand that in Hollywood because it was something real.”

Give your children the chance for a long and healthy life. Remove the prescription drugs, spend more time with your children and if you need to, call Dr. Sober Companion
