Michael’s Doctor: The Drugs Are What Killed Him

Dr. Steven Hoefflin gave an interview to Access Hollywood last Thursday. In 1984, while filming a Pepsi commercial, Michael was taken to the hospital due to severe burns to his head and face, and he needed to undergo skin graft surgery. Steven Hoefflin is the person who performed this surgery on Michael and supervised him for years after the incident.

While the results of Michael’s autopsy and toxicology tests have not yet been announced, Hoefflin says that at the moment of his death, Michael had a lethal amount of very powerful painkillers—Demerol and Propofol—in his body. He says he last treated Michael in 1998, and he also participated once in 2002 in treating him after he was bitten by a venomous spider.

Hoefflin says Michael had informed him about his extensive use of painkillers in 2002. In that year, very strong painkillers like Demerol were being injected into him regularly. In this interview, he said he did not receive any money for any of his interviews. During his interviews, Hoefflin revealed the names of some doctors whom he believes were giving Michael painkillers. He also said that the Jackson family will pursue legal action against doctors whom they believe played a role in Michael’s death.

Hoefflin said that Michael received injections of collagen and Benocquin—(1) a treatment used to remove skin color spots—from his doctors. This doctor also said that Michael received injections of Celestine, a strong cortisone, to treat acne on his nose and face. Hoefflin opposed the injections of collagen and cortisone because Michael had lupus (2) and should not have received collagen. He says collagen injections can cause the facial tissues to deteriorate.

“I told him he shouldn’t inject anything anymore because he was loosening the tissues of his face and nose.”

Hoefflin says a doctor with the nickname “Evan Arnold” is one of those who prescribed these treatments for Michael.

At the end, Hoefflin added that the Jackson family is considering legal action against Ian Halperin. In the past few months, on this same page, you read articles about Halperin’s lies and rumor-mongering about Michael. For example, he claimed that Michael’s left eye became blind and that he needed a lung transplant. Earlier this month, he published a book titled “Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson,” in which he wrote that Michael Jackson was gay—and that this is what caused his death!

Hoefflin says Michael’s fans should boycott this book and burn it in the streets.

(1) Vitiligo

Due to vitiligo, Michael had lost his skin pigmentation and his facial skin had become very white. According to this doctor, Michael had been injected with Benocquin to remove the small colored spots left on his face. Removing color spots during the progression of vitiligo is one of the common medical treatment methods used to even out skin tone, and it is recommended by doctors.

Vitiligo does not cause physical pain, but it can leave painful psychological effects on the person who has it. The prevalence of this disease worldwide is 1%.

(2) Lupus

Lupus is a disease caused by a defect in the body’s immune system, which can affect different parts of the body—skin, joints, the heart, lungs, blood, kidneys, and the brain.

Normally, the immune system has antibodies that act against viruses and other foreign substances (antigens) that disrupt the immune system. In lupus, the immune system cannot distinguish between foreign material and the body’s own cells and tissues. As a result, it attacks the body’s own tissues. This process is what causes inflammation, pain, and damage in various parts of the bodies of people with lupus.

Common symptoms in these patients include joint pain and swelling, which more often affects small joints. These pains may be continuous or temporary. Along with these pains, skin lesions can appear in patients: when they are exposed to sunlight, their face turns red, and lesions that resemble butterfly wings may form on the cheeks and the bridge of the nose. Mouth ulcers can also occur in these patients, and the condition may also be accompanied by hair loss. Symptoms of fatigue, fever with an unknown cause, and weight loss may also appear in these individuals.

The origin and reasons for developing lupus are unknown, but environmental and genetic factors may play a role. Some environmental factors that can trigger the disease include infections, hormones, medications such as antibiotics and the penicillin group, ultraviolet light such as sunlight and fluorescent lamps, and high levels of nervous stress.

Lupus can occur at any age. 90% of patients are women, and in people of color it is 2 to 3 times more common than in others.
