Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker shines the light on some of the questionable practices of the American Medical Association (AMA) in his quest to end widespread addiction, pain and suffering.

ROCKVILLE, MD. September 30, 2021: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new article on his website entitled “What The AMA Endorses People Believe In,” in which Dr. Rosa brings to light unholy information about a “hallowed” institution.

Dr. Rosa states, “As I continue to share information about the American Medical Association (AMA) as reported in a very lengthy and thorough article on MotherJones.com, I want to reiterate that what most people think of as an institution concerned with the well-being of the American public could not be further from the truth.” He continues, “The AMA was the biggest supporter of the tobacco industry knowing for 30 years prior to the surgeon general’s warning, that smoking was a health hazard and addictive, all the way up until it became absolutely impossible for them to maintain that stance. Then they supported big pharma knowing how addictive and deadly opioids are when misused and abused until once again, it was morally impossible for them to support the industry.”

“As a chiropractor with a desire to end addiction and help ease pain and suffering through working with the body’s incredible healing potential,” Dr. Rosa writes, “I will continue my research into the various organizations that hold sway over politicians and the American public.” He emphasizes, “Especially those organizations and the industries they support that create and promote products that are harmful to our health.”

The Greatest Marketing Gimmick: The AMA “Seal Of Acceptance”

Rosa indicates that he considers the AMA “Seal of Acceptance” “the greatest marketing gimmick.” His explanation by way of MotherJones.com. “In its earliest days after its founding in 1847, the AMA reportedly “had just a few thousand members and a paltry budget for its first half-century of existence.” Rosa continues adding, “But that changed once the organization concocted a campaign offering their “Seal of Acceptance” to drugs, foods, and other items that met certain purity and transparency standards.” According to the MotherJones.com article, “Critics argued that the approval wasn’t based on particularly rigorous standards, but companies boasted about the AMA’s approval in JAMA (Journal of American Medical Association)
advertisements and in their promotion more broadly.” Apparently back in the early 1930’s, Land O’Lakes was granted the “Seal of Acceptance” even while they were facing federal charges “for selling adulterated butter and eggs.” But that seal cured their “paltry budget.” By1948, JAMA subscriptions and advertising were bringing in $4.9 million in revenue.
