The King of Pop, the greatest entertainer of modern time, perhaps all time, and in my opinion, an earth angel, a man who outgrew this cold world, died from alleged cardiac arrest on Thursday, June 25, 2009 at or around 2:26 p.m. in his Bel Air, California mansion.
The actual cause of Michael Jackson’s death has not been officially determined as of the writing of this article.
There is suspicion and speculation that Mike may have been killed - killed by a potent and lethal overdose of narcotic pain medication, perhaps Demerol. Mike was heavy on narcotic pain medication and has been for some time. Mike may have been given a fatal dose of the drug an hour before his heart stopped. It may have been so-called accidental or may not have been. No one knows! But it doesn’t look good for Mike’s doctor to not be able to be found right now, so soon after Mike’s death.
It very well may be a case of the amount just being too potent. This kind of thing happens all the time, but when it happens to one of the most famous persons in the world, it becomes very suspicious, especially when the doctor who allegedly administered the injection has disappeared.
However, I’ll write more on this if and when it is confirmed.
The Los Angeles Police Department is currently conducting a criminal investigation into Mike’s death and it may have something to do with Mike’s doctor.
However, nothing can be ruled out! Musicians die under strange circumstances all the time - Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Bob Marley, John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, Peter Tosh, Mama ‘Cass’ Elliott, Sam Cook, Tupac Shakur, Biggie Smalls, Paul Williams of the Temptations, et al.
From my personal research into many of these famous deaths many of them were outright homicides stemming from the business side of their music; homicides that were covered up and made to look like suicide or accidental death. Some were purposely silenced and posthumous record sales profit were motives in a few of them. But that’s a whole other article!
I’m just so damn tired about hearing from countless people, including celebrities, dying from drugs. When are people going to get it that ALL drugs are poisonous? All of them! The human body cannot tolerate drugs! Every last one of them is TOXIC and POISONOUS! God has not or did not ordain drugs for us. Our medicine is FOOD and this includes herbs.
God created the herbs for the service of man (Psalm 104:14) and leaves (the leaf) are for medicine (Ezekiel 47:12) and for the healing of the nations (Revelation 22:2). Where is divine ordainment for the use of pharmaceutical drugs as medicine for the service of man? Drugs (LEGAL drugs) kill anywhere between 700,000 and 1 million people per year. The war on drugs (though phony in nature) should be on or against legal drugs and not exclusively illegal and illicit drugs.
It is a fact that legal drugs kill way more people than illegal or illicit drugs. But the pharmaceutical industry makes countless billions of dollars off of legal drugs and because of this fact alone government (FDA) is going to allow the pharmaceutical industry to keep pushing their legal dope to the American people.
Personally, I was shocked at the sudden news of Jackson’s death earlier today, though strangely, about a month ago I entertained in my mind what would it be like if Michael Jackson died? And now, it has manifested. It’s like I was picking up on Jackson’s death in advance of the physical reality of Jackson’s death, like I tapped into accelerated time or something. It was strange indeed.
Now, my all-time favorite singer has transitioned his fleshly body. As every disease conveys a message, so does death.
Michael Jackson’s death conveys a message to us all - a message about the heart, the impact of a damaged or broken heart, a very sensitive heart at that, and a pure one (Mike was a Virgo astrologically and Virgo deals with purity, especially purity of heart and spirit).
Michael’s life, talent and contributions to the world speaks for itself and I’m quite sure others will cover these areas in their writings, but because I know our society does not cover in detail the nature of the disease that people die from, in typical Dherbs.com fashion, I am taking it upon myself to cover the physical and metaphysical causes of Michael Jackson’s death so that people can be informed on the disease or disorder, whether induced by Jackson or not, that claimed Michael Jackson’s life at the age of 50.
After all, we all have hearts and just like how Mike’s heart stopped (regardless of the circumstances), so can ours.
So in Mike’s death we should all become conscious about our health in general, our heart or cardiovascular health in particular. After all - the number one killer disease of Americans deals with the organ called the heart. And yes, we also need to really start scrutinizing these insalubrious drugs many of us trust so damn much in.
Okay, now let’s break some things down for more insight on the heart and what can damage the heart as well as other causes for Mike’s death. Death or how we die is also wholistic in nature and all the realms play an integral part in our life as well as our death. Physical death also has an emotional, spiritual, and mental realm that plays a role in physical death. All realms are connected.
Let’s look at the human heart as an organ first. The heart is a “muscular, cone-shaped organ, about the size of a clenched fist, that pumps blood throughout the body and beats normally about 70 times per minute by coordinated nerve impulses and muscular contractions.
Enclosed in pericardium, the heart rests on the diaphragm between the lower borders of the lungs, occupying the middle of the mediastinum. It is covered ventrally by the sternum and the adjoining parts of the third to the sixth costal cartilages.
The organ is about 12 cm long, 8 cm wide at its broadest part, and 6 cm thick. The weight of the heart in men averages between 280 and 340 g and in women, between 230 and 280 g.
The layers of the heart, starting from the outside, are the epicardium, the myocardium, and the endocardium. The epicardium includes the visceral pericardium and a layer of fibroelastic connective tissue interspersed with fat. The myocardium is composed of layers and bundles of cardiac muscle laced blood vessels. The endocardium is continuous with the endothelial lining of the blood vessels and is composed of squamous endothelium.
The chambers of the heart include two ventricles with thick muscular walls, making up the bulk of the organ, and two atria with thin muscular walls. A septum separates the ventricles and extends between the atria, dividing the heart into the right and the left sides. The left side of the heart pumps oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins into the aorta and on to all parts of the body. The right side of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood, received through the venae cavae, into the pulmonary arteries. - Mosby’s Medical Dictionary, 3rd edition, p. 548
Okay, now that we have a little basic understanding of the heart and the heart’s basic function and purpose, let’s deal with cardiac arrest.
Now contrary to what many may believe or have been led to believe, cardiac arrest and heart failure are not the same things. Heart failure is medically defined as:
“A condition in which the heart cannot pump enough blood in relation to the venous return and the metabolic requirements of body tissues. Extreme exertion may cause heart failure in individuals with normal hearts if there is a discrepancy between the needs of the body and the volume of blood pumped by the heart. Heart failure may be generally classified as cardiac mechanical failure, myocardial failure, and arrhythmic failure. Most forms of heart failure are caused by atrial failure or by ventricular failure, and many patients develop heart failure from more than one cause. Many of the symptoms associated with heart failure are caused by the dysfunction of organs other than the heart, especially the lungs, kidneys, and liver. Mosby’s supra.
Michael Jackson did not die of heart failure but cardiac arrest! Though in the end it could be ruled as heart failure. The actual cause, or at least the official cause, will end up on Mike’s death certificate.
Cardiac arrest is medically defined as:
“A sudden cessation or cardiac output and effective circulation, usually precipitated by ventricular fibrillation and, in some instances, by ventricular asystole. When cardiac arrest occurs, delivery of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide stop, tissue cell metabolism becomes anaerobic, and metabolic and repiratory acidosis ensue. Immediate initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation is required to prevent heart, lung, kidney, and brain damage. Mosby’s supra
This is what killed Michael Jackson on the surface. I say “on the surface’ because death, like disease, is very metaphysical. On the surface, cardiac arrest killed Michael Jackson, but at the root, a weakened heart due to a heart being damaged by spurious claims and allegations of child abuse, child endangerment, denying and/or not being proud of one’s race and culture (Black, African-American), constant legal troubles and battles and a barrage of frivolous lawsuits, sophisticated extortion, financial troubles and difficulties, constant attacks in the media and the world of tabloid, dealing with scandalous snakes in the music entertainment business (a la Tommy Mottola of Sony Music), and a host of other things played a role at energetically stabbing Michael Jackson in his heart which weakened Jackson on an energetic and creative level and deflated Mike’s spirit which was a spirit above the kinds of certain things and people Mike faced and dealt with.
Michael Jackson was a very sensitive person. He was a Virgo astrologically and Virgo deals with a virgin heart, or purity of heart and spirit. The dirt (worldly slander, libel, etc.) thrown at Mike damaged that heart that only knows purity, sweetness, kindness, and love.
Perhaps in public Mike may have told us he’s strong and can roll with the punches from all the negative stuff he’s faced in the last 15-16 years but Mike was a very sensitive person and if you are so strong you don’t worry and stress out over fraudulent child molestation claims, even after you are found not guilty, and lose your appetite, lose weight, and become addicted to narcotic drugs. Drug addiction points to emotional damage and imbalance, and even psychological, mental, and spiritual damage and imbalance. Outer or external pain is a mere reflection of internal or inner pain.
Regardless of what the cause of Jackson’s death is, I truly believe Mike’s spirit and soul was tired of all the cruelty, BS, and abuse he endured in his life, especially in these last 15-16 years.
Mike was the personification of Yin in man and in our society, especially amongst Black people in general and Black males in particular, this is frowned upon and condemned, condemned as weakness, effeminate, emasculated, and sissified. In my opinion it (yin in man) does need to be seen, but in its proper perspective and not promoted (in our society and especially amongst Black males) to the point where alpha male attributes take a backseat to beta male attributes. The collective Black community cannot afford this considering the unfortunate state of Black males in U.S. society. There are ple

I looked through your previous posts on My Medical School Admissions Coaching Program | INQUARTA. Nice work there….

I will be joining Dick Gregory in prayer so that the entire truth will come to light. Michael was not ready to depart this earth, and I will always believe that in my heart. He had so much to live for. In spite of it all, he was a good person who loved and served God with all of his being and mankind as well.
