The DEA should be concerned with the oversees shipping containers bringing the heroin in. Not monitoring Doctors who truly WANT to help their patients. Let Doctors be Doctors and you will see heroin use drop. Thank you DEA for allowing the drug cartels to thrive while we Americans suffer.REPORT COMMENTS

The denial of pain medication to patients with chronic pain in this country is inhumane and a shame to our government and to doctors who submit to the pressure. The citizens of this country need to stand up for those who are suffering now, before their turn to suffer arrives and they themselves find no mercy from the people who are supposed to help them. United States, you're supposed to be BETTER than this!REPORT COMMENTS

Long ago , the high courts let a man called Barrabas free who was a killer. The courts chose to kill an innocent man instead. That is fact. It is easier to pick on the little ones with very little fight left in them. Barbaric as it may seem. The dealers, abusers, etc. are still there and are not hurt in the slightest.

Good afternoon everyone. I am a supporter of all of you who suffer with chronic pain & all of the different methods of pain relief treatments have been exhausted & you have no pain medication. You're in my daily prayers. Please read my post ~ towards the end you will understand why. I was just reading the article: "CNN broke the news first and uncovered that Neurocell raises levels of focus and performance every day by 300%." Stephen Hawking Predicts, ?This Pill Will Change Humanity" - Harvard Study Shows Brain Boosting ?Smart Drug? Proven To Double IQ Is The Biggest Discovery In History." "Neurocell contains a very unique formulation of natural vitamins and minerals which together unlock untapped parts of the human brain." "The supplement they created is now THE best treatment available to improve memory, sharpen attention, increase focus and boost overall IQ." Anderson has been with CNN for years."The Neurocell pills were extremely hard to come by" says Cooper. He goes on to say, "If you can get your hands on these pills - get them right away." We had to wait 2 weeks before we got a bottle to test as it was sold out almost everywhere "OR OVER $300 DOLLARS A BOTTLE FROM PEOPLE TRYING TO SELL IT FOR A PROFIT AND EBAY PEOPLE WERE PAYING TOP DOLLAR FOR THEM ON THERE"! In my opinion, these people are DRUG DEALERS ON EBAY! Mr. Barak Obama, the DEA & those in Public Office ~ SHAME ON YOU! YOU have the Police developing "STING OPERATIONS" to get "DRUG DEALERS" & "ABUSERS" off the streets! GET THEM OFF EBAY! THEY ARE ABUSING THIS NEW MEDICATION. THEY ARE NOT TAKING THE SUPPLEMENTS! Let the Citizens of The United States pay the "ACTUAL COST" of this Supplement! YOU ALL IN THE DEA & IN OFFICE SHOULD BE TAKING THIS NEW SUPPLEMENT! TO SHARPEN ATTENTION & INCREASE FOCUS ON THIS PETITION! Here is the entire article: http://s3.amazonaws.com/mybenefit/fb/brain01.html?sid=iw55nREPORT COMMENTS

Suffering from Fibromyalgia for 20 plus years, only thing that helps is lortab. I've tried every thing else prescription/over the counter. I have been cut off because they say Fibromyalgia isn't helped by pain pills. Wanna bet. I've been able to hold down a job my whole life, not so sure how much longer I'll be able to do that. Being single, I have no backup and could land on the street if I can't work. They don't get it, we are not the drug "addicts" they are looking for. We become dependent, yes, but we are under dr's care for that. Please let our physicians do their jobs. People are suffering everyday because physicians are afraid to help their patients. Shame on the American healthcare system. "First Do No Harm" - whatever happened to that!REPORT COMMENTS

I don't need a doctor to know I'm in excruciating pain . I would treat it myself but I do not have the medicines at my disposal. You have to see a doctor and they call you a drug seeker . Really . When your in pain you see a doctor they get paid whether they treat you or not . They insult me and tell me I'm a drug seeker . I'm an educated patient I decide what goes in my body . The difference between a doctor and a street dealer is the street dealer gets paid and you get treated with respect . You call me a drug seeker ?REPORT COMMENTS
