Michael Jackson -- Strong Stimulant Found
Michael Jackson -- Strong Stimulant Found
Posted Apr 7th 2010 3:00AM by
There may be a clear explanation as to why Michael Jackson had trouble sleeping the night before he died -- authorities found a pill bottle in the room containing tablets that would have hyped the singer up big time.
The bottle, which had no label, contained 13 tablets. Each tablet had a combination of ephedrine, caffeine and aspirin. The commercial sale of ephedrine -- a stimulant designed for weight loss -- is banned in the U.S. because of reports of heart attacks, strokes and even death.
Each pill contained 25 mg of ephedrine, 200 mg of caffeine and 80 mg of aspirin. The caffeine alone in each pill is equivalent nearly a 6-pack of coca cola.
One company that manufactures the drug warns against using it past mid-afternoon, because it will cause insomnia.
According to the toxicology results, ephedrine was present in Jackson's urine.

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."Risks
The primary risk of the ECA stack is in the effect of ephedrine on the heart[citation needed]. Pharmaceutical ephedrine is particularly dangerous to people with valve damage, heart problems and heart disease, but can also cause heart attacks, stroke, or death in previously healthy young adults. "Natural" supplements that contain ephedra (aka Ma Huang) as an ephedrine substitute have been linked to cases of heart attack, stroke, and death in healthy young adults even when taken at the labeled dosage.[7]. It is worth noting, however, that the evidence of serious harm is based only on self-reports of uncontrolled use by supplement users; when EC has been used as medically prescribed or in controlled studies, evidence of cardiovascular risk has not been found.
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."Or they are trying to tell us something in their own gossip way...
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."Agreed on. Look at the big picture. It's certainly not the first time TMZ points out something by writing in between the lines.
Hey, TMZ, I have a brain as well. This is complete rot. <!-- s
actually they posted it before
My point is that there was no reason to suddenly drag this story up again aside from needing better ratings. They'd already reported on it and I'm sure anyone who cared googled and found out they were talking about ECA stacks. This newest article is 100% pointless, like most drivel TMZ posts.
Unfortunately, we are a pharmaceutical nation and it is much easier/faster to write a prescription rather than find the underlying cause of the symptom...with this being said, I myself have in the past taken a pill to wake me up and focus (ADD and daytime hypersomnia), then something for anxiety and sleep (due to nightime insomnia), and sometimes a muscle relaxer in between because of bone/muscle pain from autoimmune disease...I did not abuse these meds, I actually took less then the recommended dosage, but I had no control over my body I gave control to a little pill!!! I know many ppl in highly professional positions that function this same way, my friend is a physical therapist in fact a director of the PT dept at a large hospital, and this is how he lives as well...pills to get up, pills to go down, pills to make you happy, etc, etc!!!!!
So my point is, while I am sure this story is related to the hoax, this is not an unusual story at all~!
I agree whilst I'm not sure the TMZ story is true its still highly plausible. I used to suffer from anxiety problems and still suffer from insomnia and once you get into the cycle of taking sleeping pills or anything like it you kind of need that boost the next morning to counteract the groggy feeling from the pills. I never went to the extent of taking banned medication but anything that I could take that I thought would perk me up a bit I was there! Its a just a vicious circle really.
You don't take ephedrine (it's like a herbal xtc) and then propofol...
While it may be ridiculous, I assure you that similar situations are a common way of life for many...while propofol is going to the exteme, ppl are taking uppers and downers all day long!!!!
You say it, people take uppers and downers but I think they will not take such extreme things.
I believe he would have taken something else instead of propofol if he wanted to sleep.
I absolutely agree with the both of you!
Also, who can expect to have the adrenaline pumped up by rehearsals late at night and then still be able to sleep right after?
ISNT THAT THE TRUTH <!-- s
DA TROOT!!!!
P.S. Michael shouldn't have been the only one needing some Propofol (lol) Dr. Conrad Murray would need it too due to him driving allll the way to Michael's house and then trying to get Michael to sleep for over 8 hrs! LOL
It looks like a script already written, again mentioned the Coca Cola <!-- s8-) -->8-)<!-- s8-) -->
