I See The Future Of Pill-Free Pain-Relief With The Help Of Ancient Methods

By Dr. John Rosa

I can see the future and I invite you to envision it with me.

It is a place and time when the model for healthcare has taken a turn for the healthier and more humane. In this future the human being is seen as the self-healing system that it truly is and always has been. When injured and in pain an integrative method is employed to awaken the individual’s natural inner healing properties, potentialities and possibilities.

Prescriptions For Healing

This future that I see makes use of multiple therapies, both modern and ancient, including chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, psychotherapy, yoga, physical therapy, meditation, topical creams and ointments, among others. Primary care doctors prescribe all of these treatments, many of which are available within the primary care facility.

Long gone are the days when people craved a pill to end their pain. Patients are actively involved in their health care. They take self-care seriously and because of their demands the entire medical establishment was forced to change to meet those demands. In this future/present that I see, people are continuously waking up to their own innate healing potential. They no longer want to mask their pain, they want to get it out of their body.

Mind And Body Are One

The mind plays a primary role in this future scenario which I see so vividly. Humans have stopped giving their minds and bodies over to people who believe that those are separate entities. Ancient cultures throughout history have espoused the wholeness of being. Only in the western culture beginning with what has become known as the “modern age” did this belief that mind and body are separate begin. Fortunately, we have come full circle. Once a majority of people stopped believing their bodies and minds were separate is when the real healing began.

This is why meditation also plays a major role in pain control. Even though meditation sounded foreign to most Americans, it is a method that has been enjoyed and employed by ancient traditions as well as contemporary spiritual leaders. It took some time before meditation was demystified enough to become widely practiced by regular folk. But, that happened, thankfully and now if you don’t have a meditation practice you are simply considered not yet awake.

Know Thyself

The Socratic command to “Know Thyself” has survived from ancient Greece. It’s no wonder since it epitomizes what’s at the very essence of self-healing beginning with the practice of meditation. Unlike what many people have thought about meditation, the goal is quite simply to focus and understand your own mind. To Know Thyself. Scientists are still discovering all of the benefits meditation offers. A regular meditation practice can help a person control emotions, enhance concentration and decrease stress.

We Need To Share The Vision

The future is ours to make. If we can see it in our mind, we can bring it into being. If someone you love is dependent on or addicted to opioid drugs today, please seek help immediately.

National Opioid Crisis Expert, Dynamic Speaker And Author, Dr. John Rosa Calls For A Team Effort To End The Opioid Crisis

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker, tells readers that both, the doctors who prescribe opioids and the patients who take them, are addicts and both must be educated in ways that will bring an end to this method of relieving pain and open the door to a healthier way.

ROCKVILLE, MD. April 18, 2019: 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, “It’s Time To Stop Cultivating A Culture Of Chronic Pain Patients,” in which Dr. Rosa calls for the participation of doctors and patients alike.

Dr. Rosa states, “When you have a medical system that is as addicted to taking the easy way out by masking problems that cause pain instead of getting to the bottom of them and healing human pain and suffering, you create a cycle of addiction and a culture of chronic pain.” He emphasizes, “That’s exactly the position we are in as a culture today.”

“Based on our current reimbursement systems,” says Dr. Rosa, “it’s easier for doctors to prescribe a pain pill than it is for them to prescribe a multi-disciplinary system of treatment that will actually get to the source of the pain and eliminate it.” He adds, “And, believe me, I am aware that this system is like a double-edged sword.”

According to Dr. Rosa, “Patients just want to be pain-free. The easiest way to do that instantly,” he says, “is to take opioids.” He elaborates, “But, the problems created by this seemingly instantly gratifying method are deadly and devastating. So, both patients and doctors are going to have to actively participate in ending this vicious cycle.”

It’s Time To Stop Cultivating A Culture Of Chronic Pain Patients

By Dr. John Rosa

We’re addicted to masking the pain.

When you have a medical system that is as addicted to taking the easy way out by masking problems that cause pain instead of getting to the bottom of them and healing human pain and suffering, you create a cycle of addiction and a culture of chronic pain. That’s exactly the position we are in as a culture today.

Based on our current reimbursement systems, it’s easier for doctors to prescribe a pain pill than it is for them to prescribe a multi-disciplinary system of treatment that will actually get to the source of the pain and eliminate it. And, believe me, I am aware that this system is like a double-edged sword.

Patients just want to be pain-free.

The easiest way to do that instantly is to take opioids. But, the problems created by this seemingly instantly gratifying method are deadly and devastating. So, both patients and doctors are going to have to actively participate in ending this vicious cycle.

Educating both the doctors who are accustomed to working solo, and the patients who want the quickest relief to the fact that living pain-free requires more effort than popping a pill is without doubt going to be a difficult task. But it isn’t as difficult as it may seem.

Among the 14 Integrative Medical clinics I oversee, one is a free clinic. In this clinic alone, we have seen a 70% reduction in opioid prescriptions. Through the use of chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, yoga, meditation and physical therapy, our patients live pain free and pill free. This is the future I see for our country.

If this is a vision you share and someone you love is dependent on or addicted to opioid drugs, please seek help before it’s too late.

National Opioid Crisis Expert, Dynamic Speaker And Author, Dr. John Rosa Tells Readers America Has Been Drugged And Duped

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker, gives readers a remarkable and shocking statistic that shows how Americans have been duped into thinking a highly addictive drug can cure pain and suffering.

ROCKVILLE, MD. March 18, 2019: 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, “America Has Been Duped Into Believing Pills Can Cure Pain And Suffering.” Dr. Rosa turns his attention and guides his readers to the source of the duping.

Dr. Rosa states, “When I do speaking engagements, I like to grab my audience’s attention with a startling fact.” He adds, “The sad thing is that the same startling fact has been the same during all the years I’ve been traveling and speaking to corporations, organizations and groups.”

According to Dr. Rosa, the shocking fact is, “The U.S. is roughly 5% of the world population, yet we consume 90% of all the opioids in the world.”

“Think about that,” says Dr. Rosa. He adds, “This fact screams to me that, 1. The rest of the world has no pain, or 2. We’ve been duped. That’s right. We’ve been duped by a medical community that wants everyone to believe that pain can be relieved by taking a pill.”

“But, what about the rest of the world?” He asks, “Why aren’t they suffering?” He concludes, “They aren’t suffering because they do not turn to drugs for pain relief. They turn to the methods that have been used for thousands of years: acupuncture, diet, herbs, massage and other methods that our society considers “alternative”.” As Dr. Rosa points out, “The truth is that modern medicine is truly “alternative.” Traditional methods of healing have been suppressed and we as a society have been duped.”

America Has Been Duped Into Believing Pills Can Cure Pain And Suffering

By Dr. John Rosa

When I do speaking engagements, I like to grab my audience’s attention with a startling fact.

The sad thing is that the same startling fact has been the same during all the years I’ve been traveling and speaking to corporations, organizations and groups.

Here’s the shocking fact. The U.S. is roughly 5% of the world population, yet we consume 90% of all the opioids in the world.

Think about that. This fact screams to me that, 1. The rest of the world has no pain, or 2. We’ve been duped. That’s right. We’ve been duped by a medical community that wants everyone to believe that pain can be relieved by taking a pill.

But, what about the rest of the world? Why aren’t they suffering? They aren’t suffering because they do not turn to drugs for pain relief. They turn to the methods that have been used for thousands of years: acupuncture, diet, herbs, massage and other methods that our society considers “alternative.” The truth is that modern medicine is truly “alternative.” Traditional methods of healing have been suppressed and we as a society have been duped.

As a result we are now dealing with more suffering.

There have been 115 deaths a day on average since 2014 due to opioid addiction. 80% of people suffering from an addiction to heroin started with a prescription for an opioid pain reliever.

I’m an upstream kind of guy. We are all aware of the problem of opioid addiction. It’s making headlines and our loved ones are dying needlessly. But, are we aware of what we can do to prevent opioid addiction? My answer to that is a definitive no. And it is my mission to change that.

If you, or someone you love is dependent on or addicted to opioid drugs, please seek help before it’s too late.

The Opioid Crisis Goes Live On TV And Social Media

By Dr. John Rosa

More and more law enforcement offices throughout the country are wearing body cameras and capturing people overdosing live.

These videos are ending up on local as well as national news shows and are going viral on social media. For some, this publicity comes as a wake-up call. – maybe not so welcome, but a wake-up call nonetheless. For others, this kind of unexpected publicity presents just another harsh episode in an already untenable life. But, with the opioid crisis continuing to grow and the prevalence of video equipped smart phones and the popularity of social media, we can expect the coverage and the humiliation to continue.

What A Way To Find Out Your Loved One Is On Drugs

Imagine seeing your mom or dad, your brother or sister, your son or daughter or someone you know and love on the evening news, passed on, overdosed and possibly even dying right before your eyes. Imagine not knowing and finding out this way that your loved one is doing drugs. That is the case in some instances. Imagine seeing yourself this way.

The New York Times published a 3-part series on the opioid crisis called Hooked In America, in which it was stated that not only law enforcement but also “strangers with cameras have started posting raw, uncensored images of drug users passed out with needles in their arms and babies in the back seats of their cars The videos rack up millions of views and unleash avalanches of outrage.”

Public Shaming To Help End The Epidemic Is Questionable

Without question public humiliation has its effect on the addicted exposed on TV and/or social media. But, whether the effect is positive or not remains iffy. By filming the overdoses and sending them to the news media, police departments say they are simply trying to reveal the brutal reality of what they see every day.

According to the New York Times article, deputy director of policy and planning at the Harm Reduction Coalition, an advocacy group, Daniel Raymond says, “We’re showing you this video of them at the worst, most humiliating moment of their life. The intent is not to help these people. The intent is to use them as an object lesson by scapegoating them.”

The horrific images of addicts overdosed with their young children crying as their parents are passed on in retail stores or in the back of overheated cars may serve to prevent some people from every taking drugs of any kind. However, are these images serving to put an end to the opioid epidemic?

The answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT!

What this process does is fuel the stigma associated with this disease. It is the reason that only one in ten suffering from addiction seek help. The stigma and humiliation that these people feel only causes them to look for another escape and continue to use. A recent poll showed that almost 70% of our population blames the addicted for the problem. This is all wrong and only fuels the flames of stigma.

If 80% of heroin users started with a prescription medication, then you tell me who is to blame?

The people, for the most part have been duped by a system that was meant to protect us. Most people with view these videos and say, “Look at what the people are doing to themselves.” My dream with every fiber of my heart and soul is to have people see such videos and say, “Look at what we did to you all.”

The real question is, “how do we as a nation put an end to the desire to solve pain and problems with a pill?”

Prevention

Benjamin Franklin once said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Even though he said that in 1736 when Philadelphia was burning, it is equally applicable to today’s opioid epidemic. How do we prevent doctors from prescribing opioids for pain relief? How do we impress upon those in pain that there are other, safer, healthier roads to pain-free living?

Opioid Crisis Expert and Owner of Accessible Beltway Clinics, Dr. John Rosa Encourages Those Experiencing Pain To Insist On Drug-Free Pain Prescriptions

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert and owner of Accessible Beltway Clinics, reminds readers that the opioid crisis is not slowing down and strongly urges those in pain to ask their doctors to prescribe non-drug methods for pain relief.

ROCKVILLE, MD. February 21, 2019: Owner of Accessible Beltway Clinics and opioid crises expert, Dr. John Rosa, posted a new blog on his website entitled, “Ask For A Drug-Free Prescription For Pain Relief,” in which Dr. Rosa tells readers there’s only one way to end to opioid epidemic.

Dr. Rosa points out the fact that, “No one wants to live with chronic pain.” He emphasizes, “The costs are too great. From sleeplessness to irritability to interfering with one’s work, pain can wreak havoc.” He continues, “But, taking a doctor prescribed pill that relieves pain often leads to even more detrimental effects.”

“The pills doctors prescribe for pain relief are killing people every single day,” says Dr. Rosa. He adds, “They are causing otherwise normal, law-abiding people to become drug dependent. In order to keep up with built up tolerance to drug levels, we see people turn to lying and stealing to afford the addiction.”

As Dr. Rosa reminds readers, “This country is in the midst of an opioid epidemic that shows no signs of slowing down. The only way it can be stopped is if people become aware of the problem and refuse to accept prescriptions for pain relief that come in pill form.” “Instead,” he sas, “insist that your doctor give you a drug-free prescription for pain relief.”

Ask For A Drug-Free Prescription For Pain Relief

By Dr. John Rosa

No one wants to live with chronic pain.

The costs are too great. From sleeplessness to irritability to interfering with one’s work, pain can wreak havoc. But, taking a doctor prescribed pill that relieves pain often leads to even more detrimental effects.

The pills doctors prescribe for pain relief are killing people every single day. They are causing otherwise normal, law-abiding people to become drug dependent. In order to keep up with built up tolerance to drug levels we see people turn to lying and stealing to afford the addiction.

This country is in the midst of an opioid epidemic that shows no signs of slowing down. The only way it can be stopped is if people become aware of the problem and refuse to accept prescriptions for pain relief that come in pill form.

Instead, insist that your doctor give you a drug-free prescription for pain relief.

Drug-free methods of pain control include but are not limited to chiropractic, physical therapy, massage therapy, yoga, mind-body therapies, Botox injections and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), among others. Pain has been controlled without addictive pills for decades. While I understand the power of instant gratification when it comes to pain relief, the long-term consequences of that gratification must be taken into consideration. Most of the methods I’ve mentioned will offer relief on an ongoing basis. Depending on the nature and cause of the pain some methods are going to work better than others.

Chronic pain is no way to live.

But addiction is a deadlier more disruptive pain. Please do not accept the notion that a pill is your way out of pain. Insist on a pain-free prescription for controlling, managing and ultimately ending the pain.

Opioid Crisis Expert and Owner of Accessible Beltway Clinics, Dr. John Rosa Turns His Attention To The Free Rein Pharmaceuticals Have To Market Opioids

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert and owner of Accessible Beltway Clinics, talks about how despite the fact that more bodies are piling up in areas where big pharma companies aggressively market opioids that there is still no federally imposed limits on their marketing.

ROCKVILLE, MD. February 11, 2019: Owner of Accessible Beltway Clinics and opioid crises expert, Dr. John Rosa, posted a new article on his website entitled, “No Federal Limits To Marketing Opioids Gives Pharma Companies Free Rein,” in which Dr. Rosa maintains that the addiction to wealth and power appears to be more important than human lives.

Dr. Rosa states, “The pharmaceutical companies that make opioids are given free rein to market their drugs wherever they please despite the fact that this country is experiencing a tragic opioid epidemic.” He continues explaining, “The reason I bring this up is that a new study has shown that the areas of our country hardest hit by the opioid epidemic are the exact regions where pharmaceutical companies marketed prescription opioids.”

“According to the study,” says Dr. Rosa, “In one county, doctors received about 31 times the national average of direct marketing from pharmaceutical companies between 2013 and 2015, even as the opioid epidemic claimed lives in the same area.” He adds, “In addition the study found that, “increases in marketing were associated with higher prescribing and a higher rate of overdoses from prescription opioids.” The new research was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association’s Network Open journal (Jama).”

As Dr. Rosa sees it, “The addiction to wealth and power is allowed to proliferate despite the deadly and tragic results.” He emphasizes, “This all-consuming addiction to greed is profoundly affecting the health of our country, yet it is allowed to continue without restraints.”

“It is painfully obvious,” says Dr. Rosa, “that the desire for wealth and power supersedes the desire to preserve lives.” He validates his statement saying, “To prove this, “the recent study found an association between pharmaceutical company marketing of opioids and higher rates of death from opioid overdoses one year later. Researchers examined more than $40m in drug company marketing, directed at 67,500 physicians across more than 2,200 counties nationally between August 2013 and December 2015.”

No Federal Limits To Marketing Opioids Gives Pharma Companies Free Rein

By Dr. John Rosa

The pharmaceutical companies that make opioids are given free rein to market their drugs wherever they please despite the fact that this country is experiencing a tragic opioid epidemic.

The reason I bring this up is that a new study has shown that the areas of our country hardest hit by the opioid epidemic are the exact regions where pharmaceutical companies marketed prescription opioids.

According to the study, “In one county, doctors received about 31 times the national average of direct marketing from pharmaceutical companies between 2013 and 2015, even as the opioid epidemic claimed lives in the same area.” In addition the study found that, “increases in marketing were associated with higher prescribing and a higher rate of overdoses from prescription opioids.” The new research was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association’s Network Open journal (Jama).

Addiction To Wealth And Power More Important Than Life

The addiction to wealth and power is allowed to proliferate despite the deadly and tragic results. This all-consuming addiction to greed is profoundly affecting the health of our country, yet it is allowed to continue without restraints.

It is painfully obvious that the desire for wealth and power supersedes the desire to preserve lives. To prove this, “the recent study found an association between pharmaceutical company marketing of opioids and higher rates of death from opioid overdoses one year later. Researchers examined more than $40m in drug company marketing, directed at 67,500 physicians across more than 2,200 counties nationally between August 2013 and December 2015.”

Meanwhile The Bodies Pile Up

Despite the gravity of the opioid addiction problem, there are no laws being cobbled together to prevent pharmaceutical companies from freely marketing their products. Unlike the tobacco and liquor industries, pharmaceutical companies remain untouched for the trail of death they leave behind in the wake of their marketing efforts.

If you’re not convinced, just take a look at the following statistics from the CDC, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and the United States (US) Department of Health and Human Services which reveal the gravity of the problem.

1. In 2016, health care providers across the US wrote more than 214 million prescriptions for opioid pain medication—a rate of 66.5 prescriptions per 100 people.
2. As many as 1 in 5 people receive prescription opioids long-term for noncancer pain in primary care settings.
3. More than 11 million people abused prescription opioids in 2016.
4. Every day, more than 1,000 people are treated in emergency departments for misusing prescription opioids.
5. More than 40% of all US opioid overdose deaths in 2016 involved a prescription opioid.
6. Drug overdoses claimed the lives of nearly 64,000 Americans in 2016. Nearly two-thirds of these deaths (66%) involved a prescription or illicit opioid.
7. The CDC estimates the total economic burden of prescription opioid misuse in the US is $78.5 billion a year, including the costs of health care, lost productivity, addiction treatment, and criminal justice involvement.

I can see the future and I invite you to envision it with me.
