Keeping Big Pharma in Seventh Heaven is Keeping Addicts in Hell

An ethical person – like a politician, banker or lawyer – may know right from wrong, but unlike a politician, a moral person lives it. “Marx and Engels never tried to refute their opponents with argument. They insulted, ridiculed, derided, slandered, and traduced them, and in the use of these methods their followers are not less expert. Their polemic is directed never against the argument of the opponent, but always against his person.” – Socialism http://chasvoice.blogspot.com/

How the State of Massachusetts is Moving the Goalposts in Light of Dr. Kishore’s Successful Treatment of Addiction to Provide Pharmaceutical Companies with a State-Funded Customer Base

This is the seventh in an ongoing series of articles about Dr. Punyamurtula S. Kishore, the Christian doctor who innovated the Massachusetts Model of addiction treatment. 

The previous six articles documented how conventional addiction therapies based on substitute narcotics (methadone and Suboxone®) leave only 2% to 5% of patients who won’t relapse back into full-scale addiction after twelve months. The few who haven’t relapsed will often take prescribed substitute narcotics indefinitely, creating life-long issues for them. In contrast, Dr. Kishore’s sobriety-based approach is non-narcotic in orientation. His method doesn’t lead to a miserable 2% to 5% success rate at the one-year mark, but an astonishing 50% to 60% success rate based on hard test data (rising from 37% in 1994 to over 50% in 2011 with a quarter-million patients having passed through his program).

…from Hippocrates Oath, solemnly kept by Dr.
Kishore – Man cannot serve two masters.

Massachusetts buried this medical miracle by incarcerating Dr. Kishore in September 2011 and withholding Medicare payments to his fifty-two treatment centers, causing their complete collapse. The consequences of the state’s actions against Dr. Kishore’s work permeate the previous six articles. To repeat that material, even in condensed form, would consume most of this present article. If you’ve not followed this series, review the earlier articles before diving into this newest article. Without the background of the earlier articles, you can fall prey to ongoing manipulation (by omission and commission) by the state and its media gatekeepers.

Moving the Goalposts


The first example of “moving the goalposts” in this series had reference to the cleverly-edited graphic used to hide the disastrous 80% recidivism rate occurring during the first month of conventional drug addiction treatments. Because the first-month results have simply been chopped off the graph, they don’t come under consideration. This opens the door to redefining success. One moves the goalposts for one of two reasons: to block a competitor from succeeding, or to create the illusion of success for yourself. This tactic is a blatant example of the latter.


Moving of the goalposts in such a way can only be effective if you are ignorant of the correct location of the goalposts. If someone comes along and blows the whistle on how dislocated the goalposts are, and what constituencies are benefiting from the reality distortion field thus imposed, he becomes a threat. If the whistleblower’s success rate is many times higher than the conventional success rate, this becomes a second layer of threat.

Both forms of threat to the status quo need to be quashed to maintain the blissful ignorance of the populace, to keep the goalposts at their “preferred” new location. When the media keeps the people it reputedly serves ignorant of both aspects of these moved goalposts, it becomes a key accessory to the redefinition of success. Once journalists start down that road, it becomes increasingly difficult for them to admit fault, recant, and fight against the ignorance they’ve been enforcing so faithfully. No one wants to admit culpability in moving the goalposts. Therefore, Dr. Kishore’s clinical record is simply ignored.


There are three other major respects in which crucial goalposts have been moved during the escalating drug addiction crisis taking its massive toll upon our communities. We will examine the tactics, significance, and high price we are all paying for the moving of these goalposts that should never have been moved. We will then come to understand why Solomon’s maxim remains painfully valid for us today: “Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless” (Prov. 23:10).

      MAD DOG MILLIONAIRE a.k.a. Punyamurtula Kishore MD, is a QUACK.
      Patients Die of Improper Medical Treatment and Care Protocols!!!!
      Many of Dr. Punyamurtula Kishore s patients have died because of improper treatment and care methods. This Quack MD ( Hitler of Medical Genocide ) should not be allowed to practice medicine anywhere. Preventive Medicine Associates, formerly Addiction medicine Associates was a DEATH CAMP (The Holocaust for Drug Addicts and Alcoholics, Auschwitz in Brookline, MA) I worked at his Brookline office and witness the death of many patients. Dr. Kishore should be arrested, arraigned and prosecuted for 1st. degree murder or manslaughter.
      MAD DOG MILLIONAIRE aka PUNYAMURTULA KISHORE MD
      Punyamurtula Kishore, M.D. and three other defendants will go on trial
      for Medical Insurance
      Fraud.
      Dr. Punyamurtula Kishore was reprimanded, fined $2,500 and required to perform 50 hours of Board-approved community service and to complete additional continuing professional development credits. He was found to have inappropriately filed four Temporary Involuntary Hospitalization Applications for the purpose of drug treatment and drug testing. Dr. Kishore is a 1975 graduate of Andhra Medical College in India. He specializes in Addiction Medicine and has been licensed in Massachusetts since 1978
      MAD DOG aka PUNYAMURTULA KISHORE MD
      Punyamurtula Kishore, M.D. and three other defendants will go on trial i for allegedly bilking MassHealth of almost $20 million, in what Coakley’s office calls an “intricate scheme” involving drug testing, sober homes, and his Preventive Medicine Associates (PMA).
      According to Coakley, Kishore used various bribes or kickbacks to persuade sober house owners to require residents to submit urine tests at least three times per week. The tests were performed by PMA’s office laboratories, then billed to MassHealth, which pays $100 to $200 for such screens. Also charged in the case were Carl Smith, manager of New Horizon House, John Coughlin, president of Gianna’s House, and Thomas Leonard, part owner and manager of Marshall House—all for receiving kickbacks.
      MAD DOG a.k.a Punymurtula Kidhore MD and Lil Dog a.k.a. Carl Smith L.M.H.C. are responsible for the death of Eleanor Clark of Weston , Massachusetts.
      Just look at what happen to James Clark .
      James Clark was a client at the same address where the Director/Manager Carl Smith resided at ,50 Draper Street in Dorchester MA. Carl Smith is suppose to be a state licensed Mental Health Clinician , If so , than why did he discharge James Clark ? James clark never tested postive for a toxicology screen for illegal or prescription drugs, than why was he discharged ?
      He was discharged for behavioral and attitude problems that were related to his psychiatric and substance abuse diagnosis. Carl Smith L.M.H.C. should have been able to detect that this man had psychological problems and referred him for treatment to MAD DOG aka Punyamurtula K…ishore s Neurological Clinic for treatment and to help James Clark get back on his psychiatric medication. Instead , Carl Smith discharged him and the following day , James Clark murdered his 81 year old grandmother Eleanor Clark in Weston Massachusetts .
      Punyamurtula Kishore MD aka MAD DOG Millionaire referred James Clark to Carl Smith s Program New Horizon House after James Clark was Discharged from St. Elizabeths Hospital s S.E.C.A.P. s Detoxification unit. Punyamurtula Kishore aka MAD DOG had a Contract with Carl Smith to provide New Horizon clients with Medical and Mental health Treatment. No treatment was provided except for toxicology screens . Carl Smith collected James Clark s program fee and MAD DOG Kishore billed his insurance company . Carl Smith and Dr. Kishore donot care about thier clients or patients . The only thing they cared about was making money at the expense of HUMAN MISERY !!!!!!!! :mrgreen:

      Punyamurtula Kishore MD aka MAD DOG MILLIONAIRE is a liar and a fraud. There has never been a National Library of Addictions or a Amerixcan College of Addiction Medicine in Massachusetts or anywhere in the United States, except on paper.

      The mysterious National Library of Addictions Of all the libraries in all the world, which is the most addictive — and the most mysterious? Perhaps it’s The National Library of Addictions. This addictive entity is located in Brookline, Massachusetts. Founded by Punyamurtula S. Kishore, M.D., M.P.H., it is said to be “an intellectual gathering place for health care professionals and community members.” The institution is little known to the library-loving public, and information about it is scarce. Many questions present themselves. What addictions are kept in the library’s collection, and which of them are available for use by the public? Which of these addictions can be taken out on loan? Is there a children ’s room, or is the library open only to adults? Bibliophiles note with pleasure that the library appears to own at least one book.

      Punyamurtula Kishore MD aka MAD DOG Millionaire, How did MAD DOG Millionaire become a Millionaire? CORRUPTION , LYING , CHEATING , and STEALING from Mass Health , Medicare , Medicaid and private insurance companies . Exploiting his emoloyees and patients. Billing insurance companies without examining or seeing the patients.

      30 years of CORRUPTION , LIES, CHEATING AND STEALING is Punyamurtula Kishore MD aka Mad Dog Millionaire’s trademark . He was involved in Corruption when he was the Medical Director at the Massachusetts Dept. of Correction , Martha Eliot Health Ctr , Roxbury Comprehensive Health Ctr. and his own Medical Practice , Preventive Medicine Associates.formerly Addiction Medicine Associates. He used two entities he created on paper that never existed called the National library of Addictions and the American College of Addiction to advocate his emergence in the field of addiction medicine. This unscrupulous MD used and exploited his patients and employees for financial wealth. The only thing that MAD DOG MILLIONAIRE aka Punyamurtula Kishore cared about was making money at the expense of Human misery (Edited December 02, 2014)

      Punyamurtula Kishore MD a.k.a. MAD DOG MILLIONAIRE , Brookline Doctor Pleads Guilty, Sentenced to Jail and Ordered to Pay $9.3 Million for Running
      Medicaid Kickback and False Billing Scheme
      Punyamurtula Kishore MD a.k.a. MAD DOG MILLIONAIRE to Surrender Medical License, Sentenced to House of Correction
      BOSTON – A Brookline doctor has pleaded guilty, was
      sentenced to jail, and has been ordered to pay $9.3 million in
      restitution for running an intricate Medicaid fraud scheme involving
      millions of dollars in taxpayer funds, Attorney General Maura Healey
      announced today.
      Dr. Punyamurtula Kishore, 64, along with his company Preventive
      Medicine Associates, Inc. (PMA), pleaded guilty on Monday in Suffolk
      Superior Court. PMA pleaded guilty to charges of Medicaid Kickbacks (8
      counts), Medicaid False Claims (19 counts) and Larceny over $250 (11
      counts). Dr. Kishore pleaded guilty to one count of Larceny over $250.
      “Dr. Kishore orchestrated a complex kickback scheme to funnel a
      lucrative drug screening business to his laboratories and then billed
      taxpayers millions of dollars for those services,” AG Healey said. “This
      case exhibited blatant theft of state funds that were supposed to go
      toward care for some of our most vulnerable residents. This is fraud
      that undermines the integrity of our health care system.”
      Today, Superior Court Judge Janet Sanders sentenced Kishore to 360
      days in the House of Correction, with 11 months to serve and the balance
      suspended for 10 years. As a condition to his sentence, Kishore has
      also agreed to surrender his medical license. Judge Sanders also ordered
      Kishore and PMA to pay, jointly and severally, a total of $9.3 million
      in restitution.
      Dr. Kishore previously owned and managed PMA, a network of 29 medical
      branches throughout Massachusetts, including physician office
      laboratories and one independent clinical laboratory. Based on the AG’s
      investigation, Dr. Kishore used bribes, or kickbacks, to induce sober
      house owners to send their residents’ urine drug screening business to
      his laboratories for testing. Residents were typically screened three
      times per week.
      A urine drug screen may be billed to MassHealth by a physician if the
      screen is medically necessary. Drug screens generally are billed to the
      MassHealth program for approximately $100 to $200. Dr. Kishore
      manipulated his business relationships with sober house owners to
      illegally obtain tens of thousands of drug screens paid for by
      MassHealth for sober house residents who were never treated by PMA
      providers.
      In September 2011, Dr. Kishore and PMA were indicted,
      and individually charged with Medicaid Kickbacks (8 counts), and
      Medicaid False Claims (8 counts). In November 2013, Dr. Kishore and PMA
      were indicted on additional charges of Medicaid False Claims (11 counts)
      and Larceny over $250 (11 counts) for billing MassHealth for millions
      of dollars in drug screens using the names of PMA physicians and nurse
      practitioners who were not actually treating the patients or determining
      the drug screens to be medically necessary. State regulations require
      that the services must be medically necessary and the provider must be
      physically present and actively involved in the treatment of the
      member.
      Two other individuals previously pleaded guilty to one count of
      Medicaid Kickbacks in connection with their involvement in Dr. Kishore’s
      scheme to defraud MassHealth. In June 2012, Damion Smith, 42, of New
      Jersey, president of Fresh Start Recovery Coalition, was sentenced to
      two years in the House of Correction suspended for two years with
      probation. Carl Smith, 69, of Dorchester, manager of New Horizon House,
      pleaded guilty in January 2015 and was sentenced to two years in the
      House of Correction suspended for two years with probation.
      The case against Thomas Leonard of Malden, the part owner and manager
      of the Marshall House, a sober house located in Malden, is ongoing.
      John Coughlin of Carver, president of Gianna’s House Inc., which
      operates several sober houses located in Wareham, New Bedford, and
      Sandwich, began his trial today in Suffolk Superior Court.
      This case, first referred to the AG’s Office by MassHealth, was
      prosecuted by Assistant Attorneys General Angela Neal, David Scheffler,
      and Lee Hettinger of AG Healey’s Medicaid Fraud Division with the
      assistance of victim witness advocates John Malone and Amber Anderson.
      The case was investigated by Erica Schlain and Denise Long of the
      Attorney General’s Office, Massachusetts State Police assigned to the
      Attorney General’s Office, Examiners from AG Healey’s Computer Forensics
      Lab, Special Agents from the Boston Office of the United States
      Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General,
      and investigators from the Massachusetts Insurance Fraud Bureau also
      assisted in this case (Edited April 21, 2015)
