For Grace founder Cynthia Toussaint's latest Pain News Network column was highlighted on PharmedOut.com's February 2022 newsletter. Writer Judy Butler details Cynthia's struggle to maintain ethical standing as a pain leader while wrangling with Purdue Pharma's efforts to flood the US with OxyContin using nonprofits as fronts (also known as "astroturfing".) PharmedOut is a well-regarded advocate for the ethical and transparent marketing of pharmaceuticals and devices - and they applaud Cynthia's courage to come forward with her harrowing story.
For Grace leaders recently interviewed extensively with and consulted on two episodes of The Doctors nationally syndicated television show. Partly inspired by Cynthia Toussaint's latest post on the Pain News Network, the first show which aired January 26th focused on Purdue Pharma's involvement in driving the Opioid Crisis. The second, which will air in February, spotlights the devastating illicit OxyContin/fentanyl trade that is causing the deaths of many US young people.
Check out For Grace's powerful February 2022 Story of the Month. Woman in pain Chelsea Janzen had to quit her career working with animals when an injury forced her into Worker's Compensation. Eventually diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, the WC system quickly added many hurdles to her battle. After turning down meds she didn't want to be on and being told by her doctor to "find a new career and get over it", Chelsea chose to leave Western care and is now her own healer using a natural and multi-faceted approach while remaining grateful.
