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.

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.

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?

David Lerman, sent this press release to dr. sober companion, and suggested it was a doctor he used to frequent in west hollywood, across from circus books on santa monica blvd.

parents and teachers are behind their childrens drug addiction

dr. sober companion must say shame on parents in america!

You, the parent are responsible for your young child's drug addiction, and you may be unaware.
Treatment for ADHD is done with powerful drugs like adderall, concerta, ritalin and they all have the same affect as cocaine.

You are responsible for starting the uncontrollable addiction to pharmaceutical drugs that your young children now have. You may not have acted alone, but you have the ultimate responsibility to say NO, when an idiot teacher thinks your child has a behavior disorder, and recommends an equal idiot pediatrician medical doctor that prescribes without informing you that the schedule III highly addictive pharmaceutical medication may start your childs addiction with meds that cannot be stopped. You have the power as the parent or guardian to say NO!

Instead of listening to your childs idiot teacher or idiot medical physician pediatrician about a made up medical diagnosis that makes the pharmaceutical companies millions and billions of dollars by addicting children to meds, think of spending more time with your child, and if need be the following disciplinary suggestions:

1. curfew
2. remove TV from bedroom
3. no texting and no cell phone
4. no internet access at home
5. eating dinner with the family
6. no sports or health club
7. time out
8. home schooling

modification of diet:

1. remove sugar from diet
2. remove food with coloring and additives
3. remove soda pop (coke, sprite, mountain dew, dr. pepper)
4. remove coffee from diet
5. check for food allergies that cause side effects of unwanted behavior

remove enablers:

sue the teachers and the doctors who addicted your children.

Because of childrens services and political correctness, it is no longer considered good parenting if you discipline your child with a good smack on the ass, or other forms of punishment that lead your child to think about their actions before doing them again, regardless of the immediate and lasting results for behavior modification without the use of addictive drugs.

Please think of alternatives to addictive drugs, because you or your child's teacher don't want to deal with your children in a more work intensive time consuming method.

dr. sober companion cares about your children, and wants the parents to understand that it is sometimes their fault for their childrens addiction to drugs.
