Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker turns his attention to helping parents get smart about how social media is used to communicate about and sell drugs to the young and vulnerable.

ROCKVILLE, MD. March 11, 2022: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new blog on his website entitled “Parents Must Get Social-Media Smart To Help Teens Avoid Drugs.” Dr. Rosa posts an article he considers important for parents informing about the role social media plays in drug communications and sales.

“Let’s face it,” Dr. Rosa states, “as parents we are never going to outsmart teenagers when it comes to social media.” He continues, “They’ve come into the world pre-programmed to navigate the digital world. However, when it comes to teens and drug use, it’s important for parents to know that social media often plays a huge role in introducing kids to drugs.”

According to Dr. Rosa, “I came across an article recently that I think every parent should read in order to understand how social media promotes drug use and how to protect the children from getting ensnared.” He adds, “I am reposting most of the article, but there is a section I suggest you go to the site to see. It includes popular emojis used when communicating about specific drugs and those who deal them.”

Dr. Rosa emphasizes, “We must do everything we can to help our kids avoid drug use and addiction. We can only do that if we know how they are communicating on social media.”

Dr. Rosa encourages parents to “Check out a few popular emojis people use when communicating about drugs via text at the very end of the article by clicking here: https://www.getsmartaboutdrugs.gov/family/drug-use-internet-social-media”

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker reports on the urgency surrounding the pandemic related increase of SUDs and mental health issues and how pharmacists have collectively agreed to provide a second-tier of care.

ROCKVILLE, MD. February 22, 2022: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new article on his website entitled “Pharmacists Now Engaged In Identifying Those At Risk For SUDs And Mental Illness.” Dr. Rosa acknowledge that, “The more we can help the at-risk population today, the less dramatic the consequences later.”

Dr. Rosa writes, “As the pandemic drags on, now with the omicron variant taking hold, mental health issues and substance abuse disorders (SUDs) continue to grow.” He elaborates, “The longer this continues, the more critical the need to be more alert to who may be vulnerable to developing new or deepening mental health issues that may lead to harmful behaviors including dependencies on drugs and alcohol.” According to Dr. Rosa, “This topic took center stage at last year’s annual meeting of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy.”

Dr. Rosa states, “During the meeting, as reported in Pain Medicine News, two strategies were emphasized: “stepped-up screening to identify at-risk patients, and medication management.” As the article explained, “This puts pharmacists in an important position to serve as a “second tier of care” for this vulnerable patient population.” https://www.painmedicinenews.com/Online-First/Article/01-22/Pharmacists-More-Watchful-for-Signs-of-Opioid-Use-Disorder-During-Pandemic

“While the death rates due to COVID-19 are startling,” says Dr. Rosa, “what’s more staggering is the number of children whose lives have been turned upside down. The number of children who have lost parents and caregivers is so great that the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and the Children’s Hospital Association declared a national emergency in children’s mental health.”

As Dr. Rosa points out, “140,000 children lost a caregiver during the pandemic, and these were disproportionately children of color.” He adds, “Rates of depression, anxiety, trauma and loneliness also have increased, with, for example, emergency department visits for suspected suicide attempts rising 51% among girls 12 to 17 years of age in early 2021, compared with early 2019.”

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker speaks to pre-pandemic vulnerabilities to drug overdose revealed in a recent study while suggesting that post-pandemic studies will likely reveal very different results.

ROCKVILLE, MD. February 17, 2022: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new blog on his website entitled “Which Pain Patients Are Most Likely To Overdose.” Dr. Rosa emphasizes that the information he provides in his blog is pre-pandemic.

Dr. Rosa states, “In one of my go-to sources, I read about a very recent study published in JAMA that “looked at almost 237,000 patients in Oregon who filled a prescription for opioids for the first time in 2015 and followed those patients until the end of 2018 to determine which patients were most vulnerable to fatal or non-fatal opioid overdoses.” https://www.paintreatmentdirectory.com/posts/the-pain-patients-most-likely-to-overdose-on-opioids

He writes, “Let’s keep in mind that this information pre-dates the pandemic. And,” continues, “even though attention has shifted to focus on pandemic-related deaths, the fact is that overdose deaths rose 30% in 2020. That means that 100,000 Americans died of opioid overdose just during the first year of the pandemic.”

“So, prior to the pandemic, who were the most vulnerable to overdoes according to the study?” he asks. “Surprisingly,” he reveals, “the patient who is most vulnerable to overdose, according to this study, is a black male aged 75 or older who lives in a rural area, has comorbid psychiatric and medical conditions, Medicaid and/or Medicare Advantage insurance, who is prescribed long-acting tramadol at a high dose for more than 7 days.” https://www.paintreatmentdirectory.com/posts/the-pain-patients-most-likely-to-overdose-on-opioids

According to Dr. Rosa, “The sad truth is that people of all ages, all ethnicities, all economic groups, with or without a psychiatric history or medical comorbidities, who are prescribed any of the opioids are vulnerable to addiction and overdose. More than 800,000 people, loved ones, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters, sisters and brothers have experienced fatal overdoses.”

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker shares several insights about addiction that may spark greater compassion for addiction among those who are not addicts.

ROCKVILLE, MD. January 27, 2022: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new blog on his website entitled “We Must Turn Our Fear And Loathing For Addiction Into Compassion,” in which he anticipates the day when people in general have greater compassion for the disease of addiction.

Dr. Rosa writes, “Changing the perception of addicts in the minds of those who are not addicts is probably the only way we will make any progress in the so-called “war on drugs.” He continues, “Putting people in jail for drug use is no different than putting someone in jail for overeating. Yes, we as a nation vilify overweight people almost as much as we do addicts. But we don’t arrest them for being overweight.” As Dr. Rosa states, “The point I’m making is that addiction is a rational disorder based on the same comfort-seeking and pain-avoidance that drives all human behavior. Addiction feels like love, which I wrote about in my most recent article. (You can read it here: Addicted To Opioids Addicted To Love)”

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker embraces the evidence that proves the connection between feelings produced by opioids and the warm feelings of love and connection between mother and child and other loved ones.

ROCKVILLE, MD. January 11, 2022: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new article on his website entitled “Addicted To Opioids Addicted To Love,” in which he embraces and encourages the need for greater compassion toward those who are addicted.

Dr. Rosa states, “Since I have been involved in efforts to help people manage pain without the use of drugs or surgeries, I have watched addiction to opioids grow at exponential rates.” He continues adding, “I always felt there was something stronger, more primal if you will, at the root of addiction other than merely a desire to “numb out” to the difficulties and challenges life presents. And then I came across a recent New York Times guest essay that cleared everything up for me.” He elaborates, “It gave me a totally new perspective on the susceptibility to addiction and the Sisyphean difficulty of getting off the drugs. The piece was written by Maija Szalavitz and is entitled Opioids Feel Like Love. That’s Why They’re Deadly in Tough Times. Dr. Rosa provides a link to the article at the end of his piece.

As Dr. Rosa notes, “The main point of the piece which Ms. Szalavitz makes is important and very clear. She writes, “If policymakers want to effectively treat and prevent addiction, they need to recognize why opioids have become attractive in such circumstances. By doing so, addiction can be viewed with greater compassion.” Dr. Rosa emphasizes, “I agree 100% with this opinion.”

“At the very start of the pandemic,” says Dr. Rosa, “I knew we were going to see increased addiction as well as overdose deaths. He explains why, “According to Ms. Szalavitz’s essay there is a connection between motherly love and opioids in the brain. She explains, “The connections between brain opioids and motherly love were first explored by the neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp decades ago. Dr. Panksepp, who died in 2017, told me that when he first tried to publish data connecting brain opioids to attachment, he was rebuffed by a top medical journal. His research showed that morphine, in doses so low that it didn’t cause sleepiness, eased separation cries made by baby animals in multiple species.” As Dr. Rosa goes on to explain, today this idea is widely accepted.

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker writes about the urgent need for local and state governments to turn their attention to building back addiction treatment and outreach systems that were left unattended during the pandemic.

ROCKVILLE, MD. December 09, 2021: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new blog on his website entitled, “New Highs In Drug Overdose Deaths Show Fentanyl Mixed With Other Drugs,” in which Dr. Rosa talks about this dangerous new wave in drug use.

“It’s being considered a new wave in the opioid epidemic,” writes Dr. Rosa explaining, “the use of fentanyl mixed with other drugs.” He continues, “No doubt the coronavirus pandemic has driven drug use up, but the overdose death toll is unprecedented. Over 100,000 dead this year alone, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”

Dr. Rosa points out that, “According to nbcnews.com “The co-use of fentanyl and other drugs distinguishes this wave from the ones that came before it, which were characterized by the rowing use of prescription pain medications and the rise of heroin and fentanyl individually.” https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/-scary-overdose-deaths-driven-fentanyl-mixed-drugs-rcna6605

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker turns his attention to the role the brain plays in physical, mental and emotional health and wellbeing.

ROCKVILLE, MD. December 07, 2021: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new article on his website entitled “Taking Care Of Your Body Requires Taking Care Of Your Brain,” in which he explores the field of metacognition.

“How often do you actually think about the brain inside your skull on a day-to-day basis?” Dr. Rosa asks, and gives his own answer, saying, “I would wager not often if at all, unless or until something goes wrong.” He continues, “It’s truly amazing how we humans tend to totally forget about how astonishing the brain inside our skulls is. The brain is the most extraordinary organ in creation. We still know so little about it, but we are making progress, thanks in large part to the study of metacognition.”

“As we move into a new phase of actually thinking about thinking,” Dr. Rosa writes, “and thinking and wondering about the brain and the mind, wondering if they are the same and, if not, how are they related, we are beginning to discover more and more about this fascinating part of our human anatomy and consciousness.”

As Dr. Rosa explains, “My work with drug-free and surgery-free pain relief and addictive behavior points directly to the role the brain plays in both pain and addiction. The increasing popularity of alternative pain-relief methods including chiropractic, meditation, yoga and more, are helping us understand the nature of compulsive behaviors, attention issues as well as emotional problems.” He continues adding, “Scientists have shown that one of the side effects of our modern technology is that “apps, games, social media and online content can hijack the learning pathways of the human brain.” He shares information from an article which state sthat, “The pandemic has poured gasoline on this crisis. It has forced many people into social isolation and contributed to an even greater reliance on devices for social interaction and entertainment.” https://neurosciencenews.com/metacognition-mental-health-19649/

According to Dr. Rosa, “Just as one aspect of human health depends on mastering our physical systems, it is my belief that achieving even greater health depends on understanding and controlling our own psychological states. There are so many evidence-based actions we can take to design a personalized toolkit of mental habits and strategies. Doing so will allow us to be more deliberate with our thoughts.

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker continues to shed light on the world of medical research that is supposed to keep the general public safe, yet are often driven by other motivations.

ROCKVILLE, MD. November 23, 2021: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new article on his website entitled “Cover-Up of Risks Are High In The World Of Published Pharmaceutical Research.” Dr. Rosa provides a shocking example and encourages readers to become more aware of the true motives behind medical research.

Dr. Rosa states, “Last month I wrote about how the general public blindly trusts medical “research” that is supposedly conducted to prove or disprove the safety of drugs. (If you missed it, I’ve provided the link at the end of this article.) Once again,” he says, “this month, I continue to shed light on the misinformation the general public is subjected to by companies that are far more interested in profiting from their pills than in any real or genuine concern about the well-being of their fellow human beings.”

Dr. Rosa shares, “Here is one of the most glaring examples of what I mean. “In 2009, the world of pain medicine was rocked by the revelation that well-known anesthesiologist and researcher Scott Reuben had fabricated data in at least 21 published studies. Having received five research grants from Pfizer to study its drug Celebrex (celecoxib), Reuben went so far in some of the “studies” as to not bother enrolling patients and to make up all of the data. His findings naturally favored Pfizer.” https://www.paintreatmentdirectory.com/posts/can-we-trust-the-science

“I mean,” Dr. Rosa declares, “this guy didn’t have to bother with a “cover-up.” He merely made everything up! Can you imagine the damage done? As the author of the resource article states, “These falsified findings influenced surgeons and the way they treated postoperative pain all over the world, affecting the care of millions of patients. Reuben pled guilty to engaging in health care fraud. He was sentenced to six months in prison followed by three years of probation, a $5,000 fine, restitution of $361,932, and forfeiture of $50,000. It’s unclear how much harm was done to patients by Reuben’s fabrications, but experts believe that implementation of his recommendations may have slowed surgical recovery.” https://www.paintreatmentdirectory.com/posts/can-we-trust-the-science

As Dr. Rosa points out, “Awareness of this misconduct must be brought to light. Everyone is being fooled. The doctors often don’t have time to research the research. And, even if they did, if the research has been discredited, it is never retracted or labeled as fraudulent.”

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker finds great hope for the improvement of mental health and well-being as well as reduced addictive behavior in the field that studies “thinking about thinking” otherwise known as metacognition.

ROCKVILLE, MD. November 19, 2021: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new blog on his website entitled, “How The Field Of Metacognition May Lead To Improved Mental Health And Reduced Addictive Behavior.” Dr. Rosa reveals that the implications for positive benefits in the area of addiction are promising.

Dr. Rosa states, “I do believe that the human brain truly is the final frontier.” He elaborates, “The exploration of the brain is revealing more and more each year. It is understood that the brain is the most complicated organ in the human body. In fact, one writer put it this way, “The jelly-like tissue that is the brain is the most complicated object in the known universe. Its 100 billion nerve cells (nearly 20 times the number of people on earth), are each connected to thousands of other nerve cells in a bewilderingly complex network.” https://theconversation.com/understanding-the-brain-and-mind-sciences-final-frontier-18331\

“As complicated as the brain is,” Dr. Rosa writes,“I am sure it will engage scientists well into the distant future.” He goes on to add, “The above description is apt as I delve deeper into the emerging field of “metacognition.” I’ve been following the research on this topic for several years and I feel great hope as the implications for improving mental health and well-being continue to produce positive results.”

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker expresses gratitude that the profession he has chosen is alive and well and exposes the efforts made by the American Medical Association to completely eradicate the entire profession.

ROCKVILLE, MD. October 22, 2021: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new article on his website entitled “It’s Hard To Imagine A World Where Chiropractic Services Don’t Exist,” in which Dr. Rosa provides the judge’s summary and order in the case against the AMA.

Dr. Rosa states, “Today chiropractors enjoy the respect and success of a profession that was nearly brought to extinction by a group of people who had taken the Hippocratic Oath to “do no harm” to others.” He goes on to write, “As I continue my overview of the AMA, its history, and how it uses its power to keep people in awe of the mainstream medical profession to the exclusion of their own health and well-being, I come to a topic that highlights how the AMA attempted to eradicate the entire chiropractic profession, a profession that has proven to be instrumental in saving lives, eliminating and managing pain, and helping to maintain true health without prescription drugs or surgery.”

As Dr. Rosa notes, “Had chiropractors not joined together to prevent this, and the AMA had had its way, you could be living in a world without access to the wonders of chiropractic care today.” He emphasizes, “There was a vast, organized effort by the AMA – just like the effort embarked upon for the past decade to make everyone think that opioids are not addictive – to ruin chiropractors lives and livelihoods along with all those they served.”

“It all started back in the 1800’s,” Dr. Rosa explains, “when there were a variety of medical sects. There were Homeopaths, naturopaths, osteopaths, eclectics and regular medical practitioners. And to say they were a competitive lot is an understatement.” He goes on to add, “They were all vying for market share, which is why the “regular” orthodox medical practitioners organized the American Medical Association. Each of the groups mentioned had a stake in shaping the dominant health care paradigm here in the U.S. However,” he continues, “the AMA took the position that, “the other forms of medicine, including the newly discovered chiropractic profession, were unethical and “unscientific.” Many authors, however, have made the argument that the AMA’s intent was to decrease competition for financial reasons rather than to protect the public from unethical practitioners.” https://apnews.com/article/e4f9f342f302528cfbebb81e1e2224f2
