Vancouver Forum: Psychiatry Responsible For Jackson Death

Was Michael Jackson’s fatal cardiac arrest the result of psychiatric drugs?

In a May 2009 study, which was largely ignored by the mainstream US media, Jussi Honkola, MD,at the University of Oulu, Finland concluded that people who suffered fatal cardiac arrest were more likely to have taken antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs than those who survived.

“Our study shows that medications may negatively impact a person’s chance of surviving an acute coronary event such as a heart attack,” Dr. Honkola warns. “With more people taking medications such as painkillers and antidepressants, the public needs to understand the potential risks and serious consequences.”


Mr. Jackson’s battle with (legal) psychiatric drugs has been well documented. In court papers filed in Jackson’s Santa Maria county case, Neverland security guard Chris Carter testified that Jackson was “taking ten-plus Xanax pills a night.”

Jackson was also under investigation by Santa Barbara’s District Attorney Tom Sneddon who claimed that a huge stash of prescription drugs were seized when police raided Jackson’s Neverland ranch in 2003. The drugs found included bottles of Vicodin, Oxycontin, Versed, Promethazime, Xanax and Valium.

If the King of Pop’s death was due to psychiatric drugs, he certainly wasn’t alone. Heath Ledger, the 28 year old actor found dead in his New York City apartment, died from a mixture of prescription drugs which included Xanax, Valium, OxyContin, Restoril, and Unisom.

Anna Nicole Smith’s autopsy revealed that the actress had a combination of 11 prescription pills in her system when she died. Valium, Ativan, and the sleep aid Noctec were among them. Smith’s 20-year-old son Daniel died from taking a combination of the antidepressants Zoloft and Lexapro along with methadone (painkiller, anti-addiction aid).

In a 2004 study, a team of British researchers investigated all of the drug related deaths in the UK and Wales. The report, which was published in the British Journal of Psychiatry, concluded that anti-depressant drugs accounted for over 11% of all drug related deaths in the UK and Whales between years 1998 and 2000.

Though the autopsy results have not yet been released, I have a hunch that Michael Jackson’s fatal cardiac arrest was due to a mixture of the very drugs which Dr. Honkola’s study warned about. A study which received little US media attention, with the exception of those who reported the study only to discredit its findings.


PSYCHIATRY RESPONSIBLE FOR JACKSON DEATH

Drugs are responsible for his death. He abused a seditive, used only for surguries, to get high. A Fox News article went into the drug & how he could have gotten a hold of it. That's why several doctors are being investigated by the police.

The high priest of $cientology - Thomas Cruise Mapother - is 47 today.

Go blow out some candles, OP

This guy REALLY hates psychiatry. I wonder if he escaped from some mental institution?

He was not only taking sedatives but antidepressant Zoloft and other psychiatric drugs such as benzodiazepines. The psychiatrist or physician should be held responsible for Jacksons demise.

You like psychiatry as i see from analyzing your talking. I don't know of any person who likes psychiatry. Have you ever taken a psychiatric drug such as antidepressants or other psychiatric drugs?. If no, you don't have experience in what it does to your mind, brain, body, and most importantly your central nervous system. Damage is what it does. permanent damage. 70% of suicides are caused by psychiatrists and their psychiatric drugs. Every single school shooter was on an antidepressants that drove them crazy to commit violence and suicide. This is fact not opinion.

Imagine he was taking propofol to treat his insomnia but it's not your usual UNISOM or other types of sleeping pill. It's what they give patients during surgery. Strong stuff!

Propofol is one of the most widely used IV drugs for general anaesthesia. Yikes!

Draziom, you quote statistics that you can't back up, make claims that are absolutely groundless, and display a complete ignorance of what psychiatric drugs do.

They do NOT in any way "destroy the brain". They do not, when properly used, cause suicides or anything else harmful. The illegal use of drugs (such as you are reporting for Michael Jackson) can not be blamed on the field of Psychiatry, and you either know that, or you are just ignorant.

You impress me as being a mental patient, who tried one medication and when it didn't work, gave up. Each person biochemistry is different, and they will respond to any given medication in a different way. That's why it may take several trials on different medications, to find the ones that work for that person.

My wife has had a severe, chronic depression. Medications literally saved her, and restored her life. Her niece is bi-polar, and medications have restored her ability to be a good mother and to function on a day to day basis.

Sorry, but Psychiatry has helped literally millions of people in this country alone, to enjoy a happy and productive life. It is NOT quackery, it is a medical field that helps people.

I am sorry that YOU have not benefited from it. I would strongly suggest that you get back in treatment.
