VA RUINED BY OBAMA'S MICRO-MANAGING STYLE! LET'S HEAL OUR WARRIORS!!!

Submitted by: BobJen

Dear CONSERVATIVE Reader,

Thirty-five-year-old Marine Corps vet Jason Simcakoski -- a husband and the father of an 11-year-old girl -- checked into a Wisconsin Veterans Administration facility seeking help for severe anxiety and a painkiller addiction.

And he checked out weeks later... in a body bag... pumped full of enough tranquilizers and opiates to knock out a full platoon.

Higher-ups in the VA tried to blame Simcakoski's death on a single rogue doctor who doled out so many painkillers that the facility was nicknamed "Candy Land."



But a shocking new report reveals that this was no isolated case. Simcakoski and the Wisconsin VA pill mill were just a small part of an administration-wide practice of over-drugging our veterans -- sometimes to death -- instead of giving them the help they so desperately need and deserve.

Currently, against standard medical practice, 370,000 VA patients have been left to languish on heavy-duty painkillers for longer than three months, raising their risk of side effects and addiction.

The report also uncovered an additional 100,000 veterans who are receiving potentially lethal mixes of tranquilizers and narcotic painkillers... combinations that can literally stop a person from breathing. Even worse, there's zero evidence that the drugs work together at all -- regardless of your condition.

At the time of his death Simcakoski had been prescribed a staggering 15 drugs, including muscle relaxers, tranquilizers, anti-psychotics and an opiate pain killer -- all at the SAME TIME!

Our military heroes are becoming victims of get-them-in get-them-out conveyor-belt medicine and addiction, suicide and overdose are the result. In fact, military vets are dying from fatal overdoses at twice the rate of the rest of the nation. And prescriptions for dangerous and addictive opiates for our vets have tripled in the past decade.

The men and women who were willing to sacrifice their lives for our country should be getting the very best medical care we can provide. And that includes safe and effective drug-free approaches that tackle pain and help provide peace of mind, including the Dr. Wright recommended Kaufman Pain Neutralization Technique, acupuncture and yoga.

Capsaicin creams and fish oils have been proven to naturally relieve pain and inflammation -- and they do it for just pennies a day. And for anxiety, depression and other mood disorders, Dr. Wright recommends natural alternatives, beginning with kava, a botanical used for centuries to calm the nerves without scrambling the brain.

Our veterans deserve better. Let's demand they get it.

Yours in good health,

Bob Reagan
