Don’t let husband Jacko die like my dad Elvis
Abuse killed his victims
DOC WHO FIRST GAVE STAR DRUG
Jacko asked for help to tackle his insomnia Ratner was Jackson’s pal for 8 years Murray was jailed over singer’s death
he was having a cosmetic procedure and asked if I was going to use the Milk of Amnesia, a nickname for Propofol because of its milky appearance. He was obviously aware of the drug but had never used it to help him sleep. It was a new drug and I was the first to use it within private offices.”
Ratner says he heard nothing from Jackson until seven years later, when guess, the parents, who would allow their children to sleep with him. His sexual needs were his sexual needs, coming from whatever childhood he has or whatever DNA he has. But they are both married now and have children, so it didn’t kill them.”
Asked if she was angry with the
he called in 1995 asking for help. He said: “He called me crying, saying rehearsals were killing him, that he was working too hard. Michael was exhausted, always dehydrated and had poor nutrition. I wanted to put a treatment plan in place to help all of that.
“I was the guy who took the Propofol and created a sleep therapy for him.”
Ratner, who accompanied the late star, she said: “It’s a combination of feelings.”
Her comments sparked fury on social media, with Leaving Neverland director Dan Reed tweeting: “It didn’t kill them, did you really just say that?” Journalist Alexander Mccall added: “Streisand’s comments on singer on his History tour in South Africa in 1997, said he only administered Propofol “maybe 25 times”.
He said: “I helped him on the occasions he really needed it, if he had a huge concert and needed sleep.
“Off-label use of medications for unapproved indications is common and legal. I was not advocating Propofol as a sleep medication Michael Jackson’s accusers are outrageous and perplexing to say the very least.”
The Jackson estate has slammed Leaving Neverland, calling it “an outrageous and pathetic attempt to exploit and cash in” on him. for anyone else but Michael and, even then, only as part of a treatment regimen while he was touring.” Ratner says he felt “no guilt” when he heard Jackson died but adds: “My one regret is that I failed, I wasn’t able to help him. When Michael died the drug was given by a cardiologist and not an anaesthesiologist and, under those circumstances, it should never have been given outside theatre. “I knew what I was doing when I administered it to Michael.” Jackson’s legacy is currently at risk following fresh allegations of child abuse in documentary Leaving Neverland. But Ratner refuses to Streisand has been slammed believe them. He said he confronted Jackson over his young pals before the History tour, four years after allegations from the family of 13-year-old Jordan Chandler.
He said: “I thought it was odd he was friends with young boys but when I asked him about it, his response was so innocent. He said he didn’t know what he was doing wrong, why he couldn’t spend time with them.
“Michael wasn’t like everyone else. There was an innocence there and he’d missed out on his childhood. He really did want to encapsulate that Peter Pan feeling of forever embracing things like a child did.
“All I can say is if I thought there was so much as a sniff of something like that going on I would have stopped it.
“I don’t recognise this Michael Jackson who is accused of such things.”
