Life & Style reports that Michael Jackson
was taking a cocktail of up to seven prescription drugs in the months
before his death.
The star had been taking prescription painkillers including
anti-anxiety drugs Xanax, Zoloft and painkiller Demerol in recent
months, sources close to Jackson told Life & Style. The insider
close to the star said he took a suspected overdose of drugs on
Thursday morning, which caused respiratory and cardiac arrest.
And a Jackson family lawyer told CNN he "feared" the drugs
could kill the pop star. CNN's interview with the source follows the
jump.
Jackson
family lawyer Brian Oxman confirmed Jackson may have had trouble with
prescription drugs as he prepared for his London show.
"This was something which I feared and something which I warned about,"
Oxman said on CNN. "I can tell you for sure that this is something I
warned about. Where there is smoke there is fire."
Mr Oxman compared Michael to Anna Nicole Smith, alleging that Michael had 'enablers' just like her.
CNN details Jackson's long history of medical problems here.
At
a news conference, brother Jermaine Jackson said doctors and family
tried "for an hour" to resuscitate the performer. TMZ's video of the
conference is here.
Meanwhile, Hollyscoop reports that doctors visited Jackson "daily." THe site's latest update:
While news of Michael Jackson's death came as a shock to many, inside
sources tell Hollyscoop exclusively that the King of Pop "had doctors
visiting him daily."
Michael went into cardiac arrest Thursday afternoon and was rushed to
UCLA Medical Center around 1pm. His personal physician was with him at
the time and accompanied him to the hospital.
At approximately 1:14pm when he arrived at the hospital, doctors and
emergency personnel performed CPR and tried to resuscitate him, but
were unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead at 2:26pm.
The cause of his death is still unknown, but an autopsy is scheduled
for this coming Friday afternoon. Michael was transferred from UCLA
Medical Center to the coroner’s office via a Los Angeles Sheriff's
helicopter shortly after 6pm.
Jackson family spokesman Brian Oxman reacts to the news of
Michael Jackson's death. He says he is "stunned" and adds that he
warned the family that prescription drug abuse might have contributed
to his death.
"If you think the case with Anna Nicole Smith was
an abuse, it's nothing in comparison to what we have seen taking place
in Michael Jackson's life."

COLUMBINE & RED LAKE COME TOGETHER AT COLUMBINE
ANNIVERSARY
Donna Taylor: Mother of Mark Taylor,
the first boy shot at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999 as Eric and Dylan,
on their way into the school, shot at those gathered to discuss scriptures
outside. Eric Harris shot Mark 6 - 13 times with 9mil bullets. Mark
survived earning himself the title of "The Columbine Miracle
Boy."
Tammy Lussier: Daughter of Officer
Daryl (Dash) Lussier of the Red Lake Police Department and aunt to Jeff Weise
who shot and killed Tammy's father, his own grandfather, and eight
others before taking his own life with his grandfather's police
firearm.
Our Message: Here we are together at the 10th
Anniversary of the tragedy at Columbine High School. So, why would a
family member of a school shooting victim and a family member of a school
shooter come together? We want the world to know that antidepressants cause
violence with the most popular antidepressant on the market today listing
"homicidal ideation" as a potential side effect.
The one thing many shot at Columbine have learned to do is to
forgive Eric Harris and Dylan Kleebold for doing what they did to them. We have
just celebrated the glorious Easter season filled with the reassurance that
through the mission of Jesus Christ we can overcome death and live again.
As we remember Columbine we feel it is crucial to recall
that as Christ hung on the cross He plead with His Father in
Heaven for those who were in the process of taking His life from
Him "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." In forgiving
Eric and Dylan we believe that we are forgiving them for the same reason
Christ asked for those taking his own life to be forgiven - they did not
know what they were doing April 20, 1999 when they took 15
lives and injured 24 more.
Although USA Today attempted to rewrite history this past week
and erroneously reported that the Columbine shooters were not on
antidepressants we are here to remind the world that Eric Harris was on the
antidepressant Luvox. Whether Eric was sharing his meds with Dylan, which is far
too common with kids, or was on his own prescription we will never know as
his records were sealed. In the Red Lake school shooting Jeff Weise was taking
the antidepressant Prozac. Our statement today is that minus antidepressants
we feel sure that the shootings at Columbine High School and Red
Lake, MN High School would never have happened and neither would the
majority of the other school shootings and workplace violence shootings (see www.ssristories.com for a long
list).
Antidepressants push the user into a dream state leaving
one to act out nightmares. Columbine was a nightmare acted out by Eric
Harris and Dylan Kleebold, just as Red Lake was a nightmare acted out by Jeff
Weise which took another 10 lives and injured 7 more. We do not believe
they were conscious and coherent enough to fully understand what they
were doing because of the adverse effects of antidepressants.
Over the past two years Donna
has watched her son Mark go from a normal boy to someone she does
no longer recognizes because he was given two short bouts of similar drugs
given to Eric Harris. Now Mark is living and
experiencing firsthand similar adverse reactions to what Eric was when he
shot Mark. How ironic and tragic! (See Mark's powerful statement below
given before the FDA about these drugs that have now robbed him of who he is or
was.)
If we want the shootings of Columbine and Red Lake to end we
MUST learn the truth about the dangers of antidepressant
medications.

Mark Taylor's testimony before the FDA
9/13/2004
I am Mark Allen Taylor and I am a victim of the SSRI
antidepressant era. I took six to thirteen bullets in the heart area in the
Columbine High School shooting when Eric Harris on Luvox opened fire that now
infamous day.
They almost had to amputate my leg and my arm. My
heart missed by only one millimeter. I had three surgeries. Five years later I
am still recuperating.
I went through all this to realize that SSRI
antidepressants are dangerous for those who take them and for all those who
associate with those who take them.
I hope that my testimony today shows you that you
need to take action immediately before more innocent people like me, and you, do
not get hurt or die horrible deaths as a result.
As Americans we should have the right to feel safe
and if you were doing your job we would be safe. Why are we worrying about
terrorists in other countries when the pharmaceutical companies have proven to
be our biggest terrorists by releasing these drugs on an unsuspecting
public?
How are we suppose to feel safe at school, at home,
on the street, at church or anywhere else if we cannot trust the FDA to do what
we are paying you to do? Where were you when I and all of my classmates got shot
at Columbine?
You say that antidepressants are effective. So why
did they not help Eric Harris before he shot me?
According to Eric they "helped" him to feel homicidal
and suicidal after only six weeks on Zoloft. And then he said that dropping off
Luvox cold turkey would help him "fuel the rage" he needed to shoot everyone.
But he continued on Luvox and shot us all anyway.
So, why did these so called antidepressants not make
him better? I will tell you why. It is because they do not work.
We should consider antidepressants to be accomplices
to murder._____________________________

"Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibior [SSRI]
Drugs: More Risks Than Benefits?"
Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons: Volume 14: number
1: Spring 2009, there is an article by Joel M. Kauffman, Ph.D., [Professor of
chemistry emeritus at the University of the Sciences, Philadelphia, Pa.]
In regard to the International Coalition for Drug Awareness,
the study reads on page 10: "The International Coalition for Drug Awareness in
cooperation with the Prozac Survivors Support Group has produced a website on
which about 1,600 [now 3,000] violent incidents associated with SSRI use are
described (www.ssristories.come/index.php)."
In regard to SSRI Stories www.SSRIstories.comdocumenting
the link between thousands of cases of multiple murder/suicides and
antidepressants, Dr. Kaufmann made the following
statement on page 10: "Since no clinical trial involving multiple
homicides is ever likely to be run, no firmer evidence is likely to be
found. Healy noted that much of the evidence for suicide and
murder came from the efforts of journalists and lawyers".

full article and see the data go to the journal site:

For so many of the adverse reports we get from the use of antidepressants,
we tend to get the opposite healing affect from Kangen water. While individual
users of antidepressants report such adverse effects as insomnia, indigestion,
diabetes or hypoglycemia, fibromyalgia, MS, weight gain, asthma, high
cholesterol, bloating, high blood pressure, rashes, memory loss, etc. those
users of Kangen water report the following: restores sleep; stops indigestion;
helps one lose weight, rids one of diabetes, fibromyalgia, MS, asthma,
arthritis, gout, high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, rashes, memory
loss, etc.
- SSRIs cross the blood brain barrier and accumulate at high rates in brain
tissue - Kangen water crosses the blood brain barrier carrying oxygen which
neutralizes heavy metals (drugs)
- Drugs make the body acidic while Kangen water alkalinizes the body and
neutralizes acidity
- One of the most important things in normalizing serotonin function is
negative ions - Kangen water produces negative ions
- About 90% of serotonin is located in the intestinal track. When
antidepressants or antipsychotics increase serotonin they produce alternating
constipation and diarrhea (mainly constipation). Drinking Kangen water works to
clean the colon very much like colon hydrotherapy does (see video on colon below)
yet without the discomfort and embarrassment and cost of colon hydrotherapy
treatments.
- SSRIs are designed to interfere with serotonin metabolism and in doing so
produce a strong adverse effect upon assimilation of many nutrients - Kangen
water assists in absorption of nutrients
