Alert on M.D. Abuse Of Jackson Drug
Abuse of the sedative suspected in Michael Jackson's death is a growing problem among medical professionals, increasing pressure on the government to restrict it as a controlled substance.
Three days before the pop icon's death on June 25, the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists warned hospitals to restrict access to the potent drug propofol because some doctors and nurses are addicted to it.
Propofol, sold under the brand name Diprivan, is one of the most widely used hospital sedatives. Because it is quick-acting and rapidly leaves the system, it is convenient for routine procedures such as same-day knee and cosmetic surgery, colonoscopies and broken-bone repair.
The qualities that make propofol a popular sedative also make it a recreational drug for some in the medical profession. It doesn't show up in standard drug tests in the urine, and with a half-life of only five minutes, it doesn't leave the user groggy or affect behavior in a way that signals a substance-abuse problem.
The absolute number of people with a propofol problem is small, and there is little hard data tracking addictions or death. A 2007 study of 23,385 anesthesia providers published in the journal Anesthesia & Analgesia by Paul Wischmeyer, a University of Colorado anesthesiologist, found that propofol addiction increased fivefold from a decade ago, to 25 cases. The study cited seven deaths. Dr. Wischmeyer and others in the field say that they know of other cases and estimate that the total number of deaths is at least several dozen in the same time frame.
"If you try to count backward from 100 after it's injected, you don't get to 97," says Dr. Wischmeyer. He and others say the drug is safe for hospital patients as long as a medical worker monitors "airway management" and provides oxygen as needed to ensure breathing doesn't stop.

Anesthetists and users say propofol can bring a brief but captivating high as the sedation wears off. Some call the habit, "dancing with a white rabbit," referring to the drug's color and hallucinogens of the 1960s. Others call it "pronapping," because the drug induces a short rest for medical personnel between long shifts.
Most medical centers don't lock up propofol or closely monitor inventory as they would for addictive painkillers such as Oxycontin. Propofol is readily accessible in most hospital supply rooms along with Band-Aids and antibiotic ointments.
Paul Earley, medical director of Talbott Recovery Campus in Atlanta, which treats many medical professionals for substance abuse, said addictions to opiates and other drugs obscured the growing use of propofol, which only recently has come to be seen as an addiction issue in itself.
"I was injecting it 50 times a day when I was in my worst period," says an anesthesiologist in the Midwest, who recently completed a stint in rehabilitation to kick the propofol habit. He said he began "pronapping" a couple of years ago while under stress from his job, family and finances. He hid the signs of shooting up by putting a port for a syringe on his leg, where it wasn't visible.
At night, he would inject the drug into the port in the bathroom, where his wife assumed he was brushing his teeth. "Sometimes it acted so fast, I couldn't get back to bed in time," said the anesthesiologist. He would pass out on the floor, terrifying his wife, and he said that on occasion he broke his nose or cheekbone or sprained a wrist.

After Mr. Jackson's death, police found both propofol and oxygen tanks in his house, according to the Associated Press. Mr. Jackson's case would be rare, however. Almost all of the victims of propofol addiction and overdose are medical professionals, particularly anesthesia providers, experts say. The drug isn't generally available outside hospitals and clinics.
Propofol is so potent that a tiny amount -- 20 milligrams -- can mean the difference between a refreshing rest and death. "It enters your bloodsteam fast, and even highly trained anesthesiologists can't control it, and die. They don't even have seconds to pull out the needle," said Art Zwerling, a certified nurse anesthetist and counselor with the Association of Nurse Anesthetists. A 39,000-member group.
Teva Pharmaceuticals Ltd., which makes generic propofol, and APP Pharmaceuticals Inc., which sells the drug under the Diprivan name, said separately that the drug is very safe when used as directed in proper settings. They declined to discuss the addiction problem.
Propofol was never classified as a controlled substance by narcotics regulators such as the Drug Enforcement Administration when it was first approved 20 years ago, nor was it recommended for that status by the Food and Drug Administration. Two years ago, a citizen petition was filed at the DEA, asking the agency to designate propofol as a controlled substance, which requires an FDA recommendation. Representatives of both agencies said they have been reviewing the matter. One official said a decision could come in the next few months.
An FDA spokeswoman said since Mr. Jackson's death, the agency has received many questions from doctors and the public about when and whether it will decide to classify propofol.

Making propofol a controlled substance under DEA rules would require hospitals to track inventory, account for all vials, list users, and lock it up with narcotics. That is not popular with many anesthesiology providers, and a poll by Anesthesiology News taken after Mr. Jackson's death found that 61% of them oppose it.
Several say that because propofol is an important drug for use in emergencies, it must be handy. In some cases, a surgeon may suddenly need more propofol to keep a patient sedated, and a few seconds delay makes a difference. They said hospitals should take voluntary steps to control inventory, as some already do.
Another concern about tighter regulation is that it might impede doctors and nurses from seeking help for addiction, because abusing a DEA-controlled drug is more likely to cost them their license and lead to criminal charges.
Clarence Ward, a California anesthesiologist, wrote in a 2008 article titled "Dancing With a White Rabbit" in the California Society of Anesthesiologists bulletin, that too many doctors refuse to acknowledge the propofol abuse. In an interview, he said: "People die dancing with this 'white rabbit' not necessarily from intent, but from an inability to control a drug that causes abrupt loss of consciousness."

MICHAEL JACKSON's Personalized Coat To Control Drug Dosage + "Everybody's got a different 'VERGE'" - #michaeljackson @mrjyn @nichopoulouzo #whatevs
Everybody's got a different
'verge'
'verge'
MICHAEL Jackson, showerproof and cracking, his looming London concerts just days before he died, was, a psychiatrist reported, like a singer who appeared close to a nervous breakdown.
His behavior seemed disturbingly, erratically, moment to moment.
He was an excited, scandalous, swashbuckling Pirate one minute.
The next minute he would lapse into silence, staring into space.
Last night, a source close to Jackson's death, said the star used Clearasil.
"He was neither, mentally nor physically equipped to, with hindsight, run around an Arena.
Rehearsing?
Oh! shows?
How?" he added.
"Michael was always adamant that the show must go onto a point.
He obsessed with the idea he would be killed if he couldn't get onstage.
He had been backed into a corner that was falling apart under the strain of a psychiatrist named "Jackson"...twice.
The first time he spoke frankly about childhood problems, prescription drugs, his obsession that skin cancer and washrags punish Joe Jackson.
I warned him about painkiller addiction.
It's dangerous.
He even urged me to invent a personalized coat to control his drug dosage on tour (technically complicated to describe - see patent).
The skin specialist, Dr Arnold Klein's psychiatrist told me about 'Sperm Donor Dick"'s follow-up...ahem.
Klein had convinced Jackson that a Witch had caused deep cancer marks in his hair and scalp.
He said, "Jackson fell silent after refusing to show a small scar on his chest like an advertisement for Voodoo. He clammed up again as Uri 'MYSTIFIER' GELLER outlined the plan to kill the Witch, which claimed his lifeless body just two weeks later."
The source said Michael had been can-do at their first meeting, BUT METHADON'T ON THE SECOND, and showed clear signs of cracking up again.
They discussed if it would be possible to cancel or postpone gigs.
Jackson stated his
"soothsayer, star-death claim that the haberdasher struggled with grueling rehearsals, relating to the Tour Jacket which was designed to wean him off of Diprivan and stage fright."
I had no idea what he was on about.
Meanwhile, mum, Katherine, voiced suspicions about Giraldo Rivera, the talk show host.
I know he is dead.
I don't think he just died of natural...whatevs.
He's young...40-something.
Shit happened.
I don't know what ‘on the verge of a breakdown’ is in your family.
He is a JACKSON.
Everybody's got a different 'verge'.
He wanted to be Spider Man.
To make a movie.
He went to see the Man, and they spoke about it.
Nevermore.
Sounds wacko to me, but it might have played out.
You don't know what role the cat was dishin' out.
Never will!
Dig?
He wanted to do Spider Man.
I sure don't know whether he just wanted to produce it or wanted to play it, I didn't press on.
Whether he thought he would have played a superhero, I don't know.
I suspect so, but like a man staring into space, Ma calls that private.
My eye and MICHAEL’s the only one know MY SON.
'Prestige'?
Michael Jackson?
Is the body 'treated well'?
Who saw the Jackrabbit?
The body was treated better than Rum in Arnold Klein's klepto-wet bar.

“Bible” type Genesis of Love Making - Luxury Pleasures - Artistic Sex Toys @mrjyn @nichopoulouzo #design #love #sextoys
The general referral to “sex toys” is always a crass, overrated innuendo towards dark guilty pleasures. Adding a certain degree of maturity and respectability to this industry is the Genesis line of products for Luxury-Pleasures. Inspired by the theory that God created the world in seven days, this collection includes seven deadly sins that will break the shackles of missionary and treat you to untold ecstasies. For each day of the week you can assign your special erotica and play God yourself.
Original Text:
On the first day God created light.
Dildo, hot wax candle made with white beeswax and silver base.
Beeswax symbolizes the virgin flesh of Christ and the Virgin Mary.
Candles: white beeswax.
Base: polished solid silver.The second day God created the sky.
The choice of colors is very particular: The blue sky representing Virgin Mary. She is often depicted with a blue coat called maphorion. Green is also used to represent the Virgin with the Child Jesus. The red roses are a symbol of virginity. Blind fold inspired by the stole of the priest.
Blue silk and silk embroidered from St Gallen, Switzerland (Haute Couture).On the third day God created vegetation.
The ring symbolizes the union between God and Man. It is made in black ebony like most Black Madonnas. These figures are associated with rites of fertility and sexuality. The choker necklace is made specifically with thirty three links like the Rosary of Precious Blood which contains thirty three grains referring to the years of earthly life of Jesus.
Cock Ring: black ebony from Gabon. Hand made.
Necklace: Solid Silver.On the fourth day God created the stars.
Horn inspired by the crescent moon, symbol of regeneration. Moses is often depicted with horns symbols of strength and wisdom, which are also symbols for the Devil and destruction.
Hand-made Glass Dildo with 23 carats gold leaf.On the fifth day God created birds and fishes.
Inspired by St. Francis who talked to birds and animals, and who wore a scapular (devotional necklace made of small pieces of fabric that some priests wear on their chests and on their back on top of their clothing). The rooster feathers symbolizes the arrival and resurrection of Jesus. In medieval liturgy, priests used a broom made of feathers (flagellum) to sweep the air and symbolize the heavenly powers who supported Jesus during the night of his death. Necklace for caressing and tickling; made in solid silver, pink gold and rooster feathers.
On the sixth day God created Man.
The marble refers to death like the altar in the church represents the Holly Sepulcher. It contains 39 braids, the maximum number of lashes in religious punishments in Jesus’ time. The whip is made with human hair with silver ligatures and Carrier marble.
The seventh day is the rest.
The diary starts with the first 7 days of Genesis written by St. Jerome, from the first printed edition of the Gutenberg Bible. It is followed by 365 pages to write a diary about your own sins and fantasies.
