  • A mother, Deanna Berman, shares her story of losing her 21-year-old daughter to fentanyl in this documentary about the dangers of illicit drugs. To use this presentation at high schools or other educational applications, contact Texas Pictures through our website at www.texas-pictures.com.
    Naloxone, the active ingredient in 4mg Narcan and higher dose 8mg Kloxxado, along with many generic versions, can reverse an opioid overdose if administered quickly enough. Some areas have Naloxone available for free. Google it.

    This is an extremely nuanced topic. There are countless people who are alive today because of anti-psychotic, antidepressant, and anti-anxiety meditations, myself included. This doesn't mean that "big pharma" isn't predatory and it doesn't mean that some doctors don't throw drugs at every complaint. If i died today the doctors would also find 5 different prescriptions in my system but this wouldn't include fentanyl unless i put it there. With all due respect. Sorry for your loss

      Yeah, I had to stop watching this part-way through because it's not the first of these videos that seems to have an underlying message of "prescription medicines are bad; vaccines are bad," but of the videos on this channel I've seen, this is the most direct about it. I appreciate that there is an issue with overprescribing painkillers, and of young people especially being on perhaps stronger painkillers than they should be, and that people can react badly to vaccines in rare cases, but if this ( "prescription medicines are bad; vaccines are bad") is the narrative that the channel is pushing, then they're not going to be taken seriously by most medical staff or government officials in their fight against fentanyl. I really feel for Rachel's mother and the loved ones of every person this drug has killed, but this isn't the way to win it.

    I have not watched one of these videos where families took responsibility for what there children did. They never address the fact of why their child was taking pills in the first place. It us always another person, or an illness or something but they never address why their child wanted to take pills in the first place. My daughter does drugs, she is 30. If , forbid, she ever got a pill laced with fentynol and died, it would be her fault. No one else's, and I would want to die, but you sometimes have to acknowledge that however wonderful your child is, they made that choice. Not the choice to die, but the choice to buy an illegal pill. It starts there. I wonder if part if the problem is that these parents have always made excuses for their children.
    Thus woman thinks her child was happy because she had in her a great place. But the place might have been great for the mother, not the child. This mother forced her beliefs on her child and then blamed others.

    It doesn't matter what environment you're brought up in - fentanyl is indiscriminate. So much of the problem is that young folks trust the person providing them the drugs - "It's from my (mom, dad, grandma, aunt, etc)," and sadly, they believe it. RIP Rachel. And much hope for healing for you Mom.

    So, is she saying her daughter got addicted to painkillers because she got a Covid vaccine? Because from what she’s saying, her daughter had celiac and rheumatoid arthritis PRIOR to getting vaccinated and that was with her being on the special organic farm diet you had her on…. I feel like the true issue at hand is not talked about in this video and I’m terribly sorry for this family‘s loss, but it sounds like this poor young lady was very unsettled-which WILL cause substance use /abuse. It seems like there is a very political agenda being pushed in this message versus the real issue. In my very humble opinion.. why do I know? I hope and pray that Rachel is at least resting peacefully now.❤

      That is a very arrogant statement. There are medical mysteries which the best physicians in the world cannot explain. There are medical conditions whereby one medical expert will have a completely different opinion from another medical expert. The human body is incredibly complex. As much as the COVID vaccine most definitely protected some people, other people were harmed. Young people inflicted with pericarditis from the vax is just one example. If this is possible, then prove that it isn't possible for the vax to be a trigger for various 'latent conditions.'

      Yes, it was very strange. If the victim had chronic pain, it's likely she was using illicit opioids to dull the pain for some time, and perhaps that guy she drove 5 hours to see was her drug dealer. She got unlucky that time with a fentanyl-laced tablet.

    I have three auto immune disorders, had the vacs, had covid, live everyday taking a slew of prescribed medications, vitamins, and supplements. Ive not died of a fentanyl overdose because Im not intaking anything that could lead to that outcome.
    I hear a lot of "I don't know" here which tells me that mom wasn't really attuned to her daughters daily life and is just grasping to blame her loss on anything but the reality of it.

      My 17 year old son died of fentanyl poisoning. One of the things that upset me is when other parents whose children have died from fentanyl feel the need to point out that their child did not have substance abuse issues or wasn’t an addict. I’m sorry, but if your loved one got a pill from someone on the street, they had substance abuse issues. It makes me feel like they believe their child’s life was more valuable than my child’s life. The stigma around addiction is one of the biggest problems. It’s devastating. My son was an amazing young man. He was so much more than his addiction.

Even the sun can trigger autoimmune flares. It’s difficult and we can feel alone, unheard, & isolated. Sometimes, I just need a reminder that I have support from my loved ones and they will assist when needed. I’ve also felt judged. I wish healing for this family and hope anyone suffering from chronic pain feels ok to reach out to loved ones for support. 💕

In 2022 I had spoken to an Orthopaedics doctor of a European country, and she said that studies were being carried out, which had started to show that the vaccine (I will not state the specific brand here) had caused musculoskeletal problems in people who never had any, or it had worsened pre-existing conditions.

      Absolutely! So much science-based evidence on the ill effects. Doctors and scientists from all over the world researched this. @Merogenomics on YT offers very eye-opening research. These doctors and scientists are not from the USA for the most part, so they have no political leanings to interfere with what they are discovering. So sorry that you are experiencing issues 😢. There are things that researchers have mentioned that can be done to try and detox the body from the mRNA. There are many channels on YT that discuss the research going on. Donna Mason on YT chronicled her pancreatic cancer journey after she was jabbed. Dr. John Campbell, Geert Bossche all have very compelling research results on most of the variations of the mRNA jabs. It's enlightening and horrifying, to say the least. Best of luck with your treatment. I refused the jab because I do suffer from Fibromyalgia and Lupus. It seems autoimmune responses and turbo cancers are showing up frequently in those who had more than 2 jabs of certain Vax variations. People need to be aware of what is going on. Blood clots, heart issues, cancers in more demographics than usual. It's very compelling. People who are refusing to acknowledge this should start researching for themselves.

    So sorry for your loss of Rachel 💔 You're right that kids these days can't experiment and make bad decisions like we did. Scary times and so many poisons out there. Way too many prescription drugs given to our young people along with experimental remedies. Your heart stone says it all. Thank you. ❤🙏

    I feel for this family, but please be very careful about taking advice from someone in grief
