Brittany Murphy did not die of natural causes, lab report shows

[ctkid]

From the same link. These were present.

The exceptions to this are barium and aluminium, which can be removed efficiently by the kidneys.

 

[ctkid]

I am betting whoever was her POA/agent or executor fought her father on allowing these tests. Which begs the question who is that individual and why?

:scared:

We almost said the same thing at the same time, get out of my head.

:loveyou:

A research chemist could tell of which solution or combination of items would contain these 10 heavy metals. I know a couple, they can tell you what the basic chemicals that your shampoo are made of. Sodium Laurel Sulfate is one of those.

(Don't ask me how I know....I don't want to type 5 pages.)

 

[EmmaliLucia]

Isn't Lithium considered a heavy metal?

Is there any way she could have been on bipolar medication that wasn't prescribed to her?

That really makes very little sense though considering her husband also died. I was always under the impression that it was maybe toxic mold. It always sounded like toxic mold poisoning to me. But apparently it's not..

What happened to you, Brittany?

 

[BeginnersLuck]

Here are the elements that tested high

Aluminum
Manganese
Copper
Selenium

Applying the hair with selenium-containing shampoos will
result in high selenium levels that do not reflect body status.
Otherwise, elevated levels have not been shown to be clinically
relevant.

Silver
Tin
Antimony
Barium

Barium is used in X-ray contrast media and in some salts for
enemas. It is not a highly toxic element, so transient high levels
in hair may be of small clinical significance. Many foods contain
small concentrations of barium, and it responds somewhat like
calcium, magnesium, and strontium to physiological controls.
See strontium for more insight about high barium.

Platinum
Uranium

Here's a couple links:

http://www.drkaslow.com/html/hair_analysis.html

Some of these are essential elements. Was she taking any supplements?
Also, hair dies may explain high levels of some, but I don't know "how high".

I have no idea how she would have elevated levels of platinum???

 

[BeginnersLuck]

Platinum is used in some chemotherapy agents.

Silver can be found in Colloidal Silver, and can interact with penicillamine, quinolone, tetracycline and thyroxine medications. I wonder if they were also using alternative medicine? Maybe when they were in Peurto Rico?

I was just researching that and wondering the same thing about supplement use and/or the interaction with other medications. There are some crazy dangerous supplements marketed out there. I have seen people that have gotten into supplements to where they are taking multiple handfuls daily.

Alternative medicine[edit]

Since about 1990, there has been a resurgence of the promotion of colloidal silver as a dietary supplement or homeopathic remedy, marketed with claims of it being an essential mineral supplement, or that it can prevent or treat numerous diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, herpes,[9] and tuberculosis.[12][53][54] No medical evidence supports the effectiveness of colloidal silver for any of these claimed indications.[11][12][55] Silver is not an essential mineral in humans; there is no dietary requirement for silver, and no such thing as a silver "deficiency".[12] There is no evidence that colloidal silver treats or prevents any medical condition, and it can cause serious and potentially irreversible side effects such as argyria.[12] In August 1999, the U.S. FDA banned colloidal silver sellers from claiming any therapeutic or preventive value for the product,[11] although silver-containing products continue to be promoted as dietary supplements in the U.S. under the looser regulatory standards applied to supplements.[11] The FDA has issued numerous Warning Letters to Internet sites that have continued to promote colloidal silver as an antibiotic or for other medical purposes.[56][57][58] Despite the efforts of the FDA, silver products remain widely available on the market today. A review of websites promoting nasal sprays containing colloidal silver suggested that information about silver-containing nasal sprays on the internet is misleading and inaccurate.[59]
In 2002, the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) found there were no legitimate medical uses for colloidal silver and no evidence to support its marketing claims.[60] The U.S. National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) warns that marketing claims about colloidal silver are scientifically unsupported, that the silver content of marketed supplements varies widely, and that colloidal silver products can have serious side effects such as argyria.[12]
In 2009, the USFDA issued a "Consumer Advisory" warning about the potential adverse effects of colloidal silver, and said that "...there are no legally marketed prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) drugs containing silver that are taken by mouth."[61] Quackwatch states that colloidal silver dietary supplements have not been found safe or effective for the treatment of any condition.[62] Consumer Reports lists colloidal silver as a "supplement to avoid", describing it as "likely unsafe".[63] The Los Angeles Times stated that "colloidal silver as a cure-all is a fraud with a long history, with quacks claiming it could cure cancer, AIDS, tuberculosis, diabetes and numerous other diseases."

According to information leaked to the press, Brittany Murphy was found near prescription medications of all the following drugs:

• Topamax (an anti-seizure medication)
• Methylprednisolone (anti-inflammatory drug)
• Fluoxetine (antidepressant)
• Klonopin (anxiety medication)
• Carbamazepine (bipolar medication)
• Ativan (anxiety medication)
• Vicoprofen (pain reliever)
• Propranolol (hypertension drug)
• Biaxin (an antibiotic)
• Hydrocodone (pain medication)

Those were just found near her, her toxicology report found hydrocodone, acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine, and L-methamphetamine.

I wonder if any of these medications contain some of the heavy metals in her system, however it still puzzles me how her husband would have died of a similar death. I can't seem to find his toxicology report. Do we know of any poisons that contain all these heavy metals?

What is weird is at the bottom of their site.

http://thecarlsoncompany.net/

Profile of a typical poisoner
(based on over 5000 years of forensic case studies) shown below

Caucasian; male; average to above average intelligence; underachiever; inadequate personality; non-athletic; cowardly; neat and orderly; meticulous; loner; careful planner; and non confrontational (either physically or psychologically).

This is interesting. I have always had it in my mind that it would be a female thing. IMO, the infamous poisoner's have always been women. Hmmm.

 

[SumnerRain]

I found something to back that up:

The U. S. Department of Justice’s report on Homicide Trends in the United States (1980 to 2008) offers up this statistical insight: of all poison killers in that time period 60.5 percent male and 39.5 percent female.

“Contrary to popular belief, the majority of convicted poisoners are men, overwhelmingly so when the victim is a woman. When the victim is a man, the poisoner is equally likely to be male or female,” writes Joni Johnston in “The Psychological Profile of a Poisoner”, published last year in Psychology Today.

I do find it odd though that her husband did not want her to have an autopsy. Did he commit suicide by guilt with the same poison? Or were they both poisoned by someone else?

:winko: I would not rent a room from her Mom, that's for sure.

I learn something new everyday at WS.

I'll be curious to see where this new info leads.

 

[john's mom]

I had trigeminal neuralgia, which is severe nerve pain in your face.
They first thought it may be shingles, so gave me Valtrex. I was given Vicodin, but had a reaction to it, so then given another pain med. then started on an anti seizure drug. At the time I was taking anti-Thyroid meds and a beta blocker (propanalol) due to Graves Disease.
I know it looks like a long list of medications a few posts up, but there could be valid reasons for them....just sayin'

Edit to add: carbamazepine can be used for seizures OR bi polar. It's also called Tegratol.

Additionally, Topamax and Methylprednisolone are both prescribed for the treatment of migraines. The antidepressants/anti anxiety meds are commonly prescribed for patients with chronic pain-if you hurt all the time, your mood is likely to suffer.

 

[BeginnersLuck]

Propanolol is for blood pressure but it can also help with anxiety. I've heard it is used by some for "stage fright". It blocks cortisol release which happens in the flight or fight response. It may be useful in treatment of PTSD symptoms. (Just FYI)

What happened to you, Brittany?

No. Lithium is not a heavy metal. Neither is Aluminium.

Heavy metals are the transition elements.

 

[Tugela]

The combination of above normal elements appears random, in fact, all of the elements appear relatively high, so I think it is probably just contamination or the tests were not done properly. How would she be able in ingest uranium for example?

The only element significantly higher than the "high" value on the list is aluminium, and that is not a heavy metal.

It is possible that she was taking some sort of herbal or "homeopathic" concoction. That stuff is all snake oil and in most cases you have no idea what is actually in them. It is unregulated and you take your life and health in your hands when you use them. That might explain how she got high levels of such a diverse array of elements in her body though.

According to this....aluminum is a heavy metal.
