Michael Jackson & Propofol


Here's the real lowdown on Propofol and what Michael Jackson was doing with it. It's getting harder and harder to deny that some despicable so called "doctors" were at the heart of this final tragedy in Michael Jackson's life. It's truly shameful, as Deepak Chopra and others have rightly pointed out.

Michael Jackson & Propofol
source

Sources sayan extremely dangerous and potent drug used for surgical anesthesia named Propofol was found at Michael Jackson's house after he died ... and this may well be the drug that killed him.

We're told the drug Propofol was discovered at Michael JAckson's residence. Propofol is used to put people under anesthesia before surgery. It is an extremely powerful drug that is only available to medical personnel. As one source said, "There is no conceivable way this drug can be properly prescribed for home use."

Propofol can only be administered with an IV. Interestingly, Propofol burns and the drug Lidocaine is used to reduce the pain associated with the Propofol injection. As we first reported, Lidocaine was found near Michael Jackson's body.

One of the major side-effects of Propofol is cardiac arrest if it's taken in combination with narcotic painkillers, however, Propofol is so powerful it can stop someone's heart on its own.

I'm just curious, Is that why it took this "Doctor" 1/2 hour to call 911? He was trying to get Micheal to wake up from a drug he admistered? A likely excuse that he didn't know the address! Or at least be able to partly describe where it was. Probably the hospital already knew where Michael lived, everybody else did. I hope all these Dr.s, that enable famous people to take drugs can live with their conscious, and are reminded of their Hippocratic oath, to do no harm.

So my question is this: WHY did Michael Jackson need to be sedated???? If he was in pain, surely there were other ways to treat that. I would say that this drug was Michael's escape hatch.......Wanna get away from it all? Try Propofel!

My Goodness, so many rumors, so much pain!! Michael is a legend and people around him might not have been honest, all because of money. Please have respect he is still amazing!!!

When you molest children ,you must escape.

MOVE over Jimmy Hendrix,Janis,Elvis,Michaels moving in just another rocker who had to do heavy drugs to get on stage make it through the day,and so many people fooled by this guy ,it takes good drugs to put on a show ala James Brown Tina turner Jerry lee lewis Johnny Cash zepplin you name it ,just another heavy dopper injecting himself to be a star very tragic that talent has to be injected to put on these great shows , a heavy price to pay to look good on stage

A midpoint between Debe and Ron might be to agree mostly with both to varying degrees. To understand a child molester might be a way to prevent this horror.

Is it possible mj was searching for a way to finally live the childhood he never had because of the fame and becoming perhaps an adult at 5 years? Not excusing by any means, but looking for a reason for the behavior.

maybe he was a good, kind person. if this is the case we should all be ashamed. maybe he was abused by the people he trusted the most.

Wow, some of these comments are quite amazing. Who are you to judge someone's life when all you have to rely your information on is the media. I agree with the earlier commentator that money was the reason Michael was being harrassed by everyone. I am convinced that he never molested any children, someone's parents just saw a great opportunity to strike it rich by throwing out those accusations, and in doing so they also destroyed Michael Jacksons life and broke his heart by accusing him of something that was probably the furthest thing on his mind.
The person that called him a freak: let me ask you by which and whose standards you are judging? The fact that he adored children and animals is a sign that he was trying to find pureness in this corrupt world....Look at the messages in his songs, they're about peace, love, action, change..."start with the man in the middle"... that's right, start with yourself, only then can this world become a better place. Don't point at others to find blame, look at yourself first...and don't judge someone that's contributed such a tremendous amount of good to this world, yes, that would be Michael Jackson, he was an awesome individual, who unfortunately led a very misunderstood life. My wish for you Michael is that you have found peace, whereever you are now and that you can watch your children grow up to be happy and successful individuals.

JoeYarish:
What a cool-ade, ice-cube brain you must have in that small space between your ears commonly called a head!
Sick-o's like yourself live on the edge of outer space where je*k-of*s in the entertainment industry (including the high school dropouts in sports) seem to be the whole universe in your lives. These lame-brained individuals could not make it in a world where one needed to have the expertise to hold a job, yet to zombies like you, they guide you through the day and if necessary, you would probably commit suicide if so directed by them.

Have a nice day!!!

Wow!WOw!WOW! Whats with all these haters? Irene D., you said it all. Why don't we just promote peace in this world. And all of you who are casting judgement on this human being, try taking the bib out of your own eyes before you try to take it out of others, just look at that man in the mirror first. And who are you to call a human being a freak, he was God's creation, yes, God's creation just like you, so you don't qualify to judge before first taking a look in the mirror, ALL of you haters. Spread love and peace.

Allow Michael Jackson to rest in peace.

None of the called journalist/commentators/New media so callled gives a dam about Michael Jackson.

He's gone and his family will take care of what is needed. Who are we to meddle? What good has it ever done? Did anyone cared that Elvis was infested with drug and had to wear papmers from shitting all over the place?

You all are such hypocrites. Let the man rest already!

Posted by: jan at July 3, 2009 11:50 AM

Hey JoeYarish, that's exactly where you're wrong...it's exactly BECAUSE I use my own brain and KNOW NOT to believe what the media is manipulating for the public to believe, that's why I wouldn't DARE to judge someone based on the lies communicated through the media...be careful with your judgements, they might backfire....I suggest you TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR!

Posted by: Irene D. at July 3, 2009 12:06 PM

Just a couple of comments on the use of propofol/diprivan. First, you CANNOT prescribe this drug for home use, period. Second, while lidocaine is used to "calm" the burning felt upon injection, it does not always work. Third, your body does not get hot on one side and cold on the other so that comment supposedly heard by his "nurse/nutritionist" is probably a figment of someones imagination. Fourth, a combination of IV propofol and concomittant narcotic use can lead to respiratory depression and could possibly result in death but unless there was someone there to administer it to him, he probably would not have succumbed if he gave it to himself by injection only. He probably would have fallen asleep before he could give himself enough to do any real permanent harm to himself. In order to get enough propofol, he would have to have an infusion running and unless he had the means to start his own IV, that would seem unlikely. If this was not possible, then someone had to be injecting the drug intermittantly.

It is time to leave the man alone. He chose his lifestyle and we should just leave it at that. Just because he was rich and famous, and perhaps a little "eccentric" to say the least, is no reason to create another spectacle over his death. Just let him be.

Posted by: grumpy at July 3, 2009 1:43 PM

I am troubled by any person of fame being even allowed to use a private doctor,in a clinic or hospital setting there are strict guidelines that
must be adhered too. There is no watchdog so to speak for a dr with only a single patient. There is no excuse for such a dangerous drug to be given
outside of a hospital. The other point that bothers me is this,,,this dr is suppose to be a cardiac dr,,well in the 911 call it was asked
" where is the patient now,,the reply was he is on the bed. The 911 person then said to place him on the floor. Applying cpr on a soft surface does not work,,,you cannot compress the chest enough to be of any benefit,,you would think a cardiac doctor would know this!
dr would know this..

Posted by: elizabeth at July 3, 2009 2:42 PM

I really dont no if he did these thing are not, but its not up to me are anyone else to judge him GOD will be the one to do that now. I belive his kids are going to have a bad time dealing with all this and its sad. I watched his father on the news and really dont care for him I belive he will answer to GOD one day for the way he was with MJ. Unless you was ever abuse as a kid you have no ideal what it like and what you deal with everyday of your life. MJ music was great and it will go on forever I really wish the best for his kids and family.

Posted by: ma at July 3, 2009 2:55 PM

Ok...this is just all so sad. First of all, the man is dead, even in death no one will give him peace. Did he overdose? Maybe...maybe he needed those drugs just to find a little peace. For someone to call him a freak...just really upsets me. I don't believe he molested those kids. I honestly don't. I don't think he had that kind of mentality. I think he was so desperately craving a child hood he never had, love he never had. He just unfortunately had around him money vultures, constantly circling...waiting...
I do not follow the media, I choose to look at things with my own eyes. The media is making reports about drugs when the toxicology report is not even back.Why follow a media that wants to keep stirring the pot with things that may or may not be true? I think we should all wait for the toxicology results, and if they find those drugs in his system, I hope the doctor goes to trial. Such a sad ending for such a brilliant, tortured soul.

The world will be surprised at who makes it to "Heaven" and who doesn't. (seek the Lord...he will reveal much...if you are one of his remnants)
So many black men are behind bars for something they did not do.

People will try to make money off their children if allowed the opportunity...the alledged kid's mom saw the opportunity. I was molested as a child and the person lived to be almost "100". What does not kill you makes you stronger. I chose to have an abortion...I did not go out years later and shoot down the physician that performed the abortion.

The life and loss of Michael Jackson is indeed a sad event. THe pressure he must have felt his entire life is something few will ever endure, so who are we to judge. There is no denying that he became increasingly "differnt" over the years but surely most can agree that he was a extremely talented man who changed pop music forever. Problems...yes. Strange ... I prefer different. He loved his kids without reservation, they may have been his only true happiness. RIP MJ

My ex-husband was a black singer from Gary, IN, and knew the Jackson family. He said it was no secret how the Jackson's father (Joe) would jerk the kids out of bed in the middle of the night to practice. He told them they owed him a living and that their hit act (Jackson Five) was to be his meal ticket. With a father and upbringing like that, it's no wonder Michael's reality was so screwy. His dad ought to be strung up by his thumbs. Funny how the jackass is coming out of the woodwork now, trying to be the big family man! Where was he all those years when Michael was trying to figure out which end was up????!!

Posted by: Mary at July 3, 2009 5:32 PM

It is amazing to me that some people do not realize that the molestation charges against michael stemmed from the parent's desire to take advantage of Michael and his money. Michael was aquitted of all charges because they settled for money...exactly what they wanted.....MONEY !!! Michael was different, but I have seen freakier people walking down the street. People are so used to being mean, angry and selfish that they think that someone being nice has alterior motives like being a pedophile. This is actually a sad conclusion to a very sad life of someone who was different, talented, and misunderstood. The man couldn't even leave his house without being mauled by fans. I wonder how any of us would react to having everything we do and say being looked at under such scrutiny while feeling the pressure to be perfect. All the while having an inner sadness and loneliness eating you alive. Michael was always trying to regain the childhood that was taken away from him. By the way..even the father of one of the alleged molested victims states that he never believed that his son was molested by Michael...well maybe we should call him a freak also. Think what you want, but I believe that Michael was a great man, father, and entertainer. A man that had such childhood innocence inside that it was impossible for him to do such a horrible adult behavior like child molestation.

This man made his own decision to take these drugs. Do you suppose these "doctors" were
holding a gun to his head? Just because you are famous does not give you an excuse to abuse drugs and to such a horrible extent.

Posted by: brwneyes at July 3, 2009 7:42 PM

We don't know if he molested children. We were not there and people should not believe everything the media puts out. It's so shallow to believe anything for the sake of it.

Everyone is in charge of their own destiny. MJ

I agree his music is great and he was an amazing artist ... but have to say we can't forget that he was a freak. And I DO believe he molested those children. If he didn't, why did he make payouts instead of a trial? He knew he was guilty and didn't want to go to jail. That's the only reason for the payouts.

Michael Jackson is a legend. Not only for his music, dance, and talent, but also for his love.

He has an energy that channels through your body
when he is on stage. But only a person who truly
connects with him would understand.

His passing is an overwhelming loss that will be felt for years. If it was drugs that took his life, WE are to blame. All he ever wanted to do
was please his fans because of the love and gratitude he had for them.

How could anyone expect him to be normal, his life was far from the norm. The media will say, pay, and print anything to make a buck. Sadly, they don't care about the emotional affect it has on the individual. No human being likes to be criticized. Being the sensitive person Michael was, he took it all to heart whether he wanted to or not.

Those charges were all lies. He wore his heart on his sleeve, clearly he wanted to just be a
hero or saviour to those children. He chose children because of the innocence about them. I
know, I love to be around them. Why, because they
don't fake friendship. That is, of course, unless they have an adult coaching them. Michael was very generous and that's all someone with a motive needed to know. Just as with all the lawsuits people file. Half of them are bogus
just an easy way to take advantage of a situation

You know Jesus was considered a "freak" too. He was criticized, mocked, tortured, beaten and killed. But his name lives on. Michael was very much like him as far as being loving and giving his all.

When people are dying of cancer, they are put on morphine to escape the pain.
The drug is administered in 15 min increments, sometimes more or less during the end stages.
So what really happens is the person actually dies of an overdose. If Michael died of an overdose, it was because he was trying to escape his pain.

Only God knows what and why this happened. I am sure there are lessons he wants us to learn.
Whatever the reason, Michael was his creation and
one of his best. All human beings have flaws.
Our lives are planned before we are even born.
Some people die tragically, some die peacefully.
The bottom line is no one escapes death. When he calls you home, there is nothing anyone can do
to stop it.

We all need to put this is God's hands and shut
our mouths. He is the only one who can and will judge.

Posted by: Fran at July 3, 2009 10:54 PM

Are you people nuts? I don't think reliving your childhood involves having children sleep in your bed...even if nothing happened it is highly inappropriate and if one of those children had been mine, I would have assumed the worst and would never have been bought off so a star could keep his good name! My child is worth more than any amount of money. As for his career, if he was so unhappy and in so much pain he could have just stopped...Stars walk away all the time, and it's not like he needed a job. I will agree on one thing stated above; he was surrounded by incompetent idiots that enabled him to his death. I have never been an MJ fan but I do feel that everyone responsible in supplying the amount and type of perscriptions he was taking should be held accountable for his death and prosecuted. And I don't mean just taking away their medical license, I mean long term jail sentences!

Posted by: Mommy at July 3, 2009 11:49 PM

Oh, and I wanted to add, that yes it is now between him and God and I do wish him and his children peace. I don't feel that is was passing judgement in my above statements, I was speaking as a parent. It would not matter who the adult was I would be suspicious of my child in their bed. And I don't think he was a freak..messed up but not a freak.

Posted by: Mommy at July 4, 2009 12:09 AM

Michael Jackson was an ICON, a human being who cared for the children of the world. Unfortunately, he was misunderstood. He didn't have anyone in his circle who cared for him in the way he truly deserved. People just wanted to use him. The media built him up to tear him down.
He's gone now, yet the media wants to focus on the negative, always the negative. Continuing to tear him down. Disgrace him. His fans know him, feel him deeply. They will not be taken in by the medias attempts to trash him. We will not fall for it, not in the case of Michael Jackson. We will not let you "the Media" manipulate our minds when it comes to Michael Jackson. He was and will always be a part of our hearts. We will miss you deeply Michael , you will never ever ever be forgotten. You are in a much better place now, you are being loved unconditionally. The way you deserve to be loved. Rest in peace Michael. Rest in peace

Posted by: joumi at July 4, 2009 12:55 AM

I am ashamed. I would never treat someone the way Michael has been treated. I am ashamed of our human race. Thank God there are some of you that are intelligent, logical and have compassion enough to see through to the truth.
First of all, Michael never had to pay Debbie or anyone to have his children. There are millions of women in the world that would have stood by him, raising their children together and loving him.
Second, Michaels need for plastic surgery does reflect insecurity and feelings of inadequacy...these are instilled in childhood....however....I know that part of it was because of his creative mind. He was restless, wanted to recreate himself, over and over. Artist are like this.
Third, there is no way Michael would have hurt those chilren. He had "arrested development" and was still a child himself. He had fun with them because he was one of them. The cold, cruel, adult world outside was just something cumbersome that he was forced to deal with.
Also, if he were a truely evil, callculating person that wanted go get children....he had the money to fly to Singapore and Cambodia where you can buy little children for $10. Just ask the Arabs...that's what they do. They leave their wifes and familys...say they're going with friends on a trip...and go to these girls...for $10 a night. Many are as young as 7 or 8. In some of those countries there are no laws against this..or the ppl are so poor they sell their little sisters.
I lived in the Middle East with Arab families...this is how I know. I witnessed it.

Trust me...
Michael was a beautiful, innocent soul.

To Michael, I will always remember your music and how it helped throughout my life. How it made me feel so good as a kid growing up when I was down. Anytime I saw you you were always smiling and your smile lit up the world and made people happy. That's what the world should remember. I believe in your song "Man in the mirror" People should start with themselves and there own actions and not judge you because you were what we all are "only human". I hope you have found the peace you have so desperately been trying to find. I hope you are pain free, happy and carefree now and can dance and sing with the angels until you are once again on this earth. Your life was blessed as was ours with the beauty you brought into it with your music. Thank you Michael for all your gifts and for everything you gave and the sacrifices you made to give it to us. Bless you and your family. My heart goes out to you and your family. I know what it is like to lose a sibling and a parent. Life will seem unbearable but with the love and support your family showed during your funeral I know they will make it and learn to move on and remember their love for you and continue to help your children grow and thrive. Much love. J

I am one of the rare people who do NOT get knocked out by Diprivan (propofol). I had it for a surgery and they stood around completely puzzled that I was still wide awake and would not go down-this apparently does not happen. Diprivan actually stands for DIisoPRopyl IntraVenous ANesthesia-it is not even understood how it works. The man was crazy to have been induced at home!

Im a chronic pain patient and unfortunately I am the real deal. I take the strongest pill pain killers known.

When adding any other drug or even drinking your asking to stop breathing period.

If his doctor didnt know he was hooked on pain killers either he is stupid or got paid enough to make it worth the risks. Or, he wanted to be close to a star one or the other.

He died because he could not sleep due to the fact that in some people pain killers make them more hyper than drousy. If you are one of those types its like taking speed and you never get sleepy until for days. And when it catches up with you the worst case is that you dont dream usually. WHich after a few years your tought processes can suffer and you can get strange, very strange with no sleep and no dreams.....does this seem to fit?

Posted by: Wonderer at July 30, 2009 8:43 AM

Yes , after reading alot of your comments.
He isn't a freak.
& although his music is good.
He shouldn't have took Propofol.
& don't blame me for stating this.
it's a fact.
He should not took Propofol.
He has so many fans that loves him
and he rather choose Propofol then music life.
We cannot blame anyone about this.
the only thing i'm not pretty sure is
why he took propofol
is it because he wanted sleep?
Did he became an addict?
