Michael Hooked on Methadone?

methadone found in jackson's system

Reported leaks from Jackson's autopsy claim that the powerful drug methadone was found in the pop icon's body.

Methadone, normally used to help wean patients from other drugs, is a type of synthetic heroin. Addiction specialist and host of "Celebrity Rehab" Dr. Drew Pinsky reveals to "Extra" that the drug has been known to cause serious problems. "There will be a lot of shock... it's associated with men over 30 on multiple medications with sudden death."

Dr. Drew adds that when methadone is mixed with drugs like Propofol, it can be fatal. "It can cause a kind of cardiac problem even a cardiologist may not be able to bring a patient back from."

Dr. Gabe is extremely grounded considering his accomplishments; most if given his opportunities would be distant from their foundational environment. I am thoroughly impressed with the nature of this man and how he continues to relate to those trying to move toward what he has already succeeded. I would like to thank Dr. Gabe for all he has to offer because he is actually offering “it!”

What Dr. Drew didn’t say is that doctors also use methadone to treat pain.I know because they tried it on me, didn’t work…but methadone just isn’t used for drug addicts.Maybe that’s why MJ was on it IF that report is even true. How about we all just wait for the autopsy results before publishing stuff?
