Terrifying New Report About What Led to Madonna's Hospitalization: 'Had to Be Brought Back from the Dead'
Western Journal ^ | 7/7/23 | Lorri Wickenhauser, C. Douglas Golden, Johnathan Jones, Western Journal

As details emerge about Madonna’s recent health scare, some sources are saying the Queen of Pop was far worse off than was originally acknowledged and that she had a “brush with death.”

A spokesman for the 64-year-old star announced last week that she had been hospitalized in the intensive care unit of a New York City hospital after she was discovered “unresponsive” on June 24.

However, an exclusive report by RadarOnline claimed Madonna had to be “brought back from the dead” with a Narcan injection when she was found.

Narcan is a brand name for a generic drug known as naloxone, described by the National Institutes of Health as “a medicine that rapidly reverses an opioid overdose.”

RadarOnline said the drug is also used to reverse septic shock, which it described as “a life-threatening condition that happens when blood pressure drops to a dangerously low level.”

This poor woman can’t live without her phone ringing. The reality of watching herself slip into irreverence must be overwhelming without God to turn to.
Pray for her and the DeNiro family as well.

“Narcan is used for overdoses.”

“... RadarOnline said the drug is also used to reverse septic shock”

She is a heroin addict- hence the Narcan. But probable these flimsy border days, fentanyl was in the heroin. It is everywhere by CHI-COM design. Apparently it’s in street cocaine

The chi-com revenge for the British heroin trade and the Boxer Rebellion- seriously their “culturation” against the evil West goes back that far, knitted right into the Chi-Com revival of the new Cultural Revolution of the new Mao...Xi Ping (fat boy eddie). What a horrible country buying everyone with their own money while the place is actually falling apart and taking our “essential” industries with cheap a@@ labor with them. Stupid corporate america— going along with it, lazy and “rich”.

Do they auto-administer as protocol when a person is unresponsive? They did that to my step-dad when he passed out.

Yeah what you posted said that. It also said it is used for septic shock which is when a person's blood pressure drops below a certain level.

So, did they do a blood test to determine the actual cause?

““Naloxone has been shown in some cases of septic shock to produce a rise in blood pressure that may last up to several hours; “

This from Pfizer. How did the First Responders know to try Narcan?

“Never heard of Narcan being used for anything besides drug OD. It was designed specifically to block the MU receptors in the brain, to which opioids attach.

According to even the NIH - Narcan only has one use.”

https://www.rxlist.com/narcan-drug.htm:

Narcan (naloxone) is an opioid antagonist used for the complete or partial reversal of opioid overdose, including respiratory depression. Narcan is also used for diagnosis of suspected or known acute opioid overdose and also for blood pressure support in septic shock.

https://www.drugs.com/pro/naloxone.html

Naloxone has been shown in some cases of septic shock to produce a rise in blood pressure that may last up to several hours; however, this pressor response has not been demonstrated to improve patient survival. In some studies, treatment with Naloxone in the setting of septic shock has been associated with adverse effects, including agitation, nausea and vomiting, pulmonary edema, hypotension, cardiac arrhythmias, and seizures. The decision to use Naloxone in septic shock should be exercised with caution, particularly in patients who may have underlying pain or have previously received opioid therapy and may have developed opioid tolerance. Because of the limited number of patients who have been treated, optimal dosage and treatment regimens have not been established.

Why would she have been in septic shock though? Sounds like an overdose.

so they are giving a celebrity an untested treatment, for a non-approved use? I don't doubt it, but clearly, doctors were desperate.

Sepsis has many causes, including urinary tract infections. That’s what killed my mother: UTI that caused septic shock.

I assumed that she was given the Narcan by first responders under the assumption that her condition was drug related, only to discover she she suffered from septic shock.

Narcan is used for overdoses.

Naloxone (Narcan) is really great at binding to opiate receptors without activating them, to the point that it can be used to displace opiate drugs from those receptors, thus making it a terrific anti-overdose agent.

Hypotension due to septic shock is caused by the body's own endorphins acting too strongly on those very same receptors; it's basically an internal overdose of the body's own opiate system (endorphin is in fact a contraction of "endogenous morphine"). Thus the naloxone being administered: it's being used for, and acting in, the exact same way as it would for external drug overdose.

Quite frankly, with the reports of her getting progressively sicker from a bacterial infection over an extended period of time, this use of naloxone is 100% plausible. In fact, I'd personally guess there was no drug overdose here- if you're so sick you're near death from a systemic infection, that doesn't really seem like the time to be whipping out the fentanyl or heroin.

Same here--it was in March 2020 and the doctors on staff that night "were 99.9% sure" it was COVID--(I think they wanted it to be true since it would have been the first case in that county and they'd get more money) but as we found out they were 100% wrong. They put her on comfort dose morphine instead of at least trying antibiotics. The death certificate indicated she died from septic shock as a result of a UTI--No COVID.

Using naloxone to boost blood pressure in a septic shock situation is just as desperate and very nearly as time critical a use as intervention in an overdose. It's basically a last resort. It was just as desperate as it sounds.
