It's no wonder he was loing weight so much if he weas being given Ephedrine.... it's also an appetite surpressant.
Wow. I think they had to announce the COD because of the unsealed warrants and it just what we thought. The Dr.cannot claim that MJ was taking something else. He cannot refute this (well he can try).
Ephedrine (EPH) is a sympathomimetic amine commonly used as a stimulant, appetite suppressant, concentration aid, decongestant, and to treat hypotension associated with anaesthesia. Ephedrine is similar in structure to the synthetic derivatives amphetamine and methamphetamine. Chemically, it is an alkaloid derived from various plants in the genus Ephedra (family Ephedraceae). It is most usually marketed in the hydrochloride and sulfate forms.
Adverse effects
Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are more common with systemic administration (e.g. injection or oral administration) compared to topical administration (e.g. nasal instillations). ADRs associated with ephedrine therapy include:[5]
* Cardiovascular: tachycardia, cardiac arrhythmias, angina pectoris, vasoconstriction with hypertension
* Dermatological: flushing, sweating, acne vulgaris
* Gastrointestinal: anorexia, nausea
* Genitourinary: diuresis (increased urination) due to increased blood flow (difficulty urinating is not uncommon, as alpha-agonists such as ephedrine constrict the internal urethral sphincter, mimicking the effects of sympathetic nervous system stimulation)
* Nervous system: restlessness, confusion, insomnia, mild euphoria, mania/hallucinations (rare except in previously existing psychiatric conditions), delusions, formication (may be possible, but lacks documented evidence) paranoia, hostility, panic, agitation
* Respiratory: dyspnea, pulmonary edema
* Miscellaneous: dizziness, headache, tremor, hyperglycemic reactions

In physiology and medicine, hypotension refers to an abnormally low blood pressure. This is best understood as a physiologic state, rather than a disease. It is often associated with shock, though not necessarily indicative of it. Hypotension is the opposite of hypertension, which is high blood pressure. Hypotension can be life-threatening.
[snip]
Excessive vasodilation, or insufficient constriction of the resistance blood vessels (mostly arterioles), causes hypotension. This can be due to decreased sympathetic nervous system output or to increased parasympathetic activity occurring as a consequence of injury to the brain or spinal cord or of dysautonomia, an intrinsic abnormality in autonomic system functioning. Excessive vasodilation can also result from sepsis, acidosis, or medications, such as nitrate preparations, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin II receptor inhibitors or ACE inhibitors. Many anesthetic agents and techniques, including spinal anesthesia and most inhalational agents, produce significant vasodilation.

and what exactly does it mean that the result is in security?
jus seeing the word homicide makes me feel like i got kicked in the stomach !!!!
Had there been any illicit drugs in Michael's system when they did the autopsy - they'd be confirming it today.
Michael was CLEAN.
And now, we have to hold the LAPD and the D.A.s office to the umpteenth level of fire so they can indict/charge/arrest/sentence the guilty.
Are we ready to fight for Michael's justice? You bet I am!

Oh there is something new in all this. They found Ephedrine in Michael's system. What is Ephedrine or Ephedra?
What is Hypotension?
Ephedrine, unless used in a hospital setting, is ILLEGAL in the USA. This explains Michael's sudden weight loss, loss of appetite, and his mood change (according to the fans). Murray was giving Michael Ephedrine in order to combat his low blood pressure after giving him fucking propofol.
Michael was murdered... this is no accident. I wonder what crap Murray and Chase was giving Michael in those so called fruit smoothies???
I think that's what upsets me more than anything else. Michael trusted this man with his life, and Murray had no idea WHAT he was doing... in fact he was doing something he SHOULDN'T have been doing! I just have no words to describe how it makes me feel...
Why was ephedrine in Michaels system?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephedrine
i dont agree with this (used to treat hypotension associated with anesthesia) here. this is all so crazy.
For the above to be in Michael's system scares me. And if he didn't know it was there scares me even more. Its simple to pass something off as something else when your a doctor.
