- As suspected, and now confirmed, Michael Jackson dead
at age 50 do to Serotonin Syndrome as a result of 2 serotonergic medications
- Zoloft (antidepressant) and Demerol (pain killer).
-
- Lisa Maire Presley has not only lost her father, but
now also her Ex-husband, to the same basic combination of drugs: antidepressants
and pain killers.
-
-
- Michael Jackson lost his life due to the organ-stopping
effect of Serotonin Syndrome thanks to a drug that should have been removed
from the market decades ago - Demerol. A serotonergic medication similar
in action to antidepressants, atypical antipsychotics, and other pain killers.
-
- Serotonin constricts smooth muscle tissue. The major
organs of the body are composed of smooth muscle tissue. When serotonin
levels increase too high the major organs constrict and shut down. Elevated
serotonin, which all of these medications produce, causes death via multiple
organ failure. This is the same way Daniel Smith, Anna Nicole Smith's young
son lost his life due to the combination of four serotonergic medications.
