MJ was an on-again off-again vegetarian from what I’ve gathered. But one thing was a constant — being thin. You can’t be too thin or too rich. But you can die from either and MJ seemed to have been a victim of same.
He was not much more than 100 pounds when he died but he was also in a weakened condition if he was not eating enough calories for his activity level. Did he supplement that lethargic feeling with uppers? Then have to come down with downers? And when you eat a meager diet that too impacts insomnia.
If his electrolyte levels fell too low and if the level of tryptophan was also low then he would get a shaky, nervous feeling that would keep him from sleeping. Self-medicating what only proper nutrition will fix is idiocy. Electrolytes are potassium, sodium and glucose. We get it mainly by eating. Tryptophan can be found in carbs, milk and peanut butter. MJ chose drugs over food.
Dumping drugs of any kind into the system will lower the heart rate and pulse. I also wonder how his intestines could be faring with all the CNS suppressants? The drugs he took would have kept his intestines in a stuck position. Nothing would move very fast, very far. That would get unhealthy too.
MJ may have had a resting pulse as low as 80/60! And if it fell to that range or below then it would trigger cardiac arrest.
According to one of the tabloids MJ was having chest pains just days before he died. He ignored them and he went away.
