I agree with you. He said he was a torture soul but he was humble and truley and innovator. I do believe what he said that Mj was manipulator who isn’t NJ is not perfect and we are not too. Mj was addicted to pain killers. So we need to accept the truth and move.
Thanks Dr. Chopra for be MJ friend, because you were just listening the way you talk i feel you really care about him, blessing for you and your family
its so sad…:(
R.I.P
drug are not a good thing to get into guys
dont do them!
Because he was you idiot. More then you or me and other randoms ever will be. His own sisters are on the air doing interviews about him. Do you think they’re not ‘true’ sisters either? It’s part of Deepaks profession to be in the public eye. His interviews make people feel for Michael more then anyone else that has ever been interviewed about him
bitches talk WHY he was a drug addict.. dang its all your fault
why do people do drugs? .. to make themself feel better,,, happier!!
people were all over attacking MJ.. what he suppose to do! cant be happy cant be sad why this why that.
stupid ugly human nature
Thank you Deepak for you sincere words.
With a NEGATIVE TOXICOLOGY REPORT~ He was CLEAN. A Licensed American Physician administered medications IV that killed Michael. If he had a problem with OXYCONTIN like this guys says: WHY IS THE DRUG ABSENT from the Toxicology report? This guy is talking out of his ass!
@goog2k, thank you for posting this video and giving the info about the toxicology report. Chopra does a fine job of connecting the dots between emotional stress and autoimmune disorders like lupus and vitiligo. Michael said in the 1993 Oprah interview that he was never satisfied by what he saw in the mirror. As a child who never felt “approved” of by his Dad, he became a relentless perfectionist..never able to be satisfied with his facal features.
Whether or not Michael was using drugs, whether legal or illegal was HIS choice. He was obviously a troubled man and if he did use drugs it’s pointless to attempt to blame others, including doctors for the decisions he made. Many men in their 50′s deal with depression by using or abusing drugs, mainly alcohol. I feel truly sorry for MJ’s family and wish people would let him rest in peace.
randy, I completely disagree.
All of the drugs found were prescription tranquilizers and anesthetics. Propofol killed Michael, which is a very powerful anesthetic. It should be used in a hospital setting with oxygen and respiratory resuscitation equipment.
Michael certainly ordered the dangerous practice but his doctor totally screwed up and was negligent.
goog2k Yeah, I do agree that his doctor shares responibility when it came to the Propofol. I was thinking more in general terms when adults make terrible life choices. Michael was free to take Heroin or Cocaine as an American adult. I do agree with you about the Doctor though because he should have been more responsible in forcing MJ to face his demons and not be so self-destructive.
-Peace-
True, but in the harsh economic times of 2009, for $150,000 a month…if the doctor, and knew that “oh yes, this dude has been on this crap for a minute” , of course most would have shot him up…it’s the sad reality of life….I think BOTH are to blame, more so MJ! for a guy who used to do Sunday Fasts and was that intelligent, he knew better! He knew better…Murray, sigh, dude is as guilty as all the plastic surgeons who kept enabling MJ’s unwise wishes…..
Yep HIS choice!
The dealer and the addict , the bartender/liqor store attendant and the alcoholic are too blame…more so the abuser, cause hey some drugs and alcohols are LEGAL although all when abused are IMMORAL and downright unhealthy anyway!..
what no one seems to want to understand is that anyone can and -many have- get addicted to prescription pain killers without even making that so-called “choice” you are talking about. I’ve met moral person after persona that, either after a surgery or accident have gotten addicted to these narcotics irresponsibly prescribed after on a few weeks of use (2-3). People trust their doctors and from what I can see, he seems to be very intelligent but, also very sheltered, gullible and trusting.
On another note, had YOU ever heard of propofol before? Unless you are a nurse, doctor or the like chances are you hadn’t, which brings me to my next point: how the hell did he get addicted to that in the first place? WHO introduced this to him as a “sleep aid”…yeah, but it was his choice
I’ve heard Michael got addicted to painkillers after the Pepsi hair fire. He also had innumerable surgeries. He could have been given any of these drugs for good reasons. Then after he found he liked them he might have asked for more.
It’s very difficult to resist the request of someone that rich and famous. If you don’t give him what he wants he just goes somewhere else.
this is so sad.Made me cry.I love them both,they are angels xxx
@forasaje when you have lupus and insomnia, I hope you don’t sound this stupid
another good friend that came out right after he died saying he was a drug addicted, damn leecher. Now his son and daughter claims they helped write his songs.
It is difficult to resist the request of a rich and famous person and therein lies the tragedy in all of this. No one should give in to the request of anyone based on their status in life. Michael was an addict period, but did not receive good medical care at any period in his life. This man was treated like a guinea pig by these doctors.
thats the bad point about michael jackson this doctor has told him to not take that medication when michael came to him after that 2005 trial but he refused and he went against his will and tried to take the medication from a different doctor and im shocked a man who knows a doctor for 20 fucking years has nicely explained and he ignores.
But its not michaels fault its the people, media, childhood and stress that got him to this very very said i love you and miss u michael!
how easy it is to blame..if you ve been wrongfully accused of the most heinous crimes who would not want to escape? no one here has ever been hounded as much as Michael for as long as he has been hounded..there is no one alive today who is… so it s no use for anyone to presume to know what he felt like, day in day out..only he knew. There was certainly no one to be trusted. It s the saddest thing what happened to someone so beautiful, but then that s what happens to all good ppl.
I have seen many disrespectful comments towards Chopra. Totally unnecessary. Deepak was a friend. He did care about Michael and his health.
@inasexymood anyone that disrespects chopra is a scumbag 4 life.
It’s soooo sad. people always pointed the finger at Micheal. But, damn there will never be NO ONE ELSE ON THIS PLANET LIKE HIM! GOD BLESS HIM!
