Willow bark derived endocannabinoid receptor blockers like acetaminophen cover the natural essential fatty acids necessary for repairing the brain/blood and body, a low body fat and high exercise routine means a large amount of hashish cannabinoids free radicals, was the hash Bruce recieved tainted... likely. Will endocannabinoid blockers and massive amounts of hash cannabinoids cause an aneurism... definitely. Eicosanoids represent a diverse family of lipid mediators with fundamental roles in physiology and disease. Within the eicosanoid superfamily are prostanoids, which are specifically derived from arachidonic acid by the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX). COX has two isoforms; COX-1 and COX-2. COX-2 is the therapeutic target for the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class of pain medications. (acetaminophen) is generally not considered an NSAID because it has only minor anti-inflammatory activity. Paracetamol treats pain mainly by blocking COX-2 and inhibiting endocannabinoid reuptake almost exclusively within the brain, and only minimally in the rest of the body.

@Ssssfs28 күн бұрын
@@TomBleecker i think producers of the crow and director Alex Proyas need Brandon's death to make money .I think casting someone who has starred in martial arts films for the role of Eric is not a good idea. But they initially had a plan to kill Brandon so that the film would gain more fame, which ultimately happened. In 1993, Hollywood made its first film about the life of Bruce Lee. This was the best time to kill his son to attract attention to the film. I don't believe that live ammunition accidentally ended up on the set as a result of them buying all the items from the pawn shop. Moreover, Brandon's friend Jeff Imada discovered these live rounds and hid them in his car. But they asked him to bring them back to the set againThe fact that the director sent home a weapons specialist and changed the scene using a knife to a pistol also looks suspicious. It was also Alex Proyas who chose the Fanboy character who was supposed to shoot Eric. And why they don't give him a bulletproof vest?
@TomBleecker28 күн бұрын
@@Ssssfs Your theory is built on the premise of a conspiracy between 3 - 10 co-conspirators to commit murder, which is highly unlikely. Moreover, the two main producers of "The Crow" were not new to Hollywood's film and television industry. Edward Pressman has been a producer since 1967, which is 25 years before production of "The Crow" began. He certainly wouldn't have risked spending life in prison because he was worried about a movie's box-office. Jeff Most had worked in Hollywood since 1982. Besides a list of other problems with your theory, it seems to me killing the lead when the film hasn't finished principal photography makes no sense. It would make far more sense to do this after filming has wrapped.

After I began my training, I didn't see much of him because he soon graduated. Years later, I was marketing when I saw him pushing a shopping cart. I walked up to him and said, "Hello, Ron. Remember me? Tom Bleecker?" Because of years of training, I was now more muscular than Ron and exuded ten times the confidence. In all likelihood, Ron knew about my becoming a black belt and fighting in the Internationals. His face turned ashen, and he stuttered a bit and said, "Yes, I think I recall you," trying to distance himself. "So how has life been treating you, Ron?" He nervously gave me a quick overview of his job and marriage, after which I said, "That's great, Ron. Glad to hear it. Good seeing you. Take care of yourself" and walked away.

Greetings Mr. Tom. You speak on the subject of Br. Lee very well read and trustworthy. Please continue to create and show people what they will not learn otherwise and elsewhere, it will certainly contribute to a better understanding of the life and personality of Br. Lee's. Both the good and the bad. You have something to pass on, don't keep everything you know to yourself if such a thing still exists in your memory or physically. You may not realize it, but you have the power and the power to continue to show things as they are. We can also learn how life was in the 60s and 70s. About the drug letters = I don't think anyone bought them from B. Baker's wife, she could have sold them herself and made a lot more money. It's a mystery how they got to the flea market and I sense some false manipulation around this thing. Personal wish Br. Lee's written letter in the 16th minute of the video is probably evoked by some of his personal hardships in the past, when he was still living in occupied China. It is also known from the position of graphology that he was already under long-term stress at the time when he wrote it. Mr. Lee was a very independent person, and he also had great inner strength, if he set his mind to something, he was able to stick to it. Even though he set high goals that few would have the courage to achieve, he was so confident that he knew he could do it. And he really managed a lot. In the case of his last film, however, he exhausted his strength, because he did NOT have a solid point in his life, which was not given to him by his wonderful wife Linda, who I think was otherwise his great support, but he probably still needed something else. That he had no money at the end of his life? According to information, at that time he bought a beautiful house and a more expensive car. But what I don't understand is that Mrs. Linda was so lacking in authority that she allowed Br. Lee was a financial mess and had little legal treatment, it's true that he didn't know much about the business and was apparently a bit lazy about it and didn't think of backdoors. He was also naive in some ways. But it was also in his wife's interest to control this. Also for the future provision of their children. So thanks for your sharing and keep it up Tom! And if you want to add anything to my comment, I'd love to read it all. 🌷

Hello, Anna, and thanks for your comments. If Bobby Baker's wife tried to sell those letters on her own, it would have been unlikely that she could have gotten anywhere near the half-million dollars for them. There also would have been the problems of authenticating the letters and maintaining her anonymity. Moreover, by having the highly reputable auction house broker the letters, she avoided being the target of a potential lawsuit. I think the flea market story was simply put out there to protect her anonymity. Clarification: Bruce never lived in China. In his youth, he lived in occupied Hong Kong, which was briefly occupied by the Japanese, and then for a much longer period, the British. His "Chief Personal Aim in Life" was written when he lived at the luxurious Barrington Plaza and was likely founded in what he was taught as a child, which was that money was all that mattered. Before Bruce's death, Raymond Chow purchased Bruce a home (although a car was ordered, it was never delivered). The house, however, was in the name of Bruce's butler and childhood friend, Wu Ngan, and after Bruce's death, the house sold at a loss. As I pointed out in my book "Unsettled Matters," although Bruce had very little money when he died, he was owed a lot of money by Raymond Chow. Collecting it, however, proved to be a monumental task that took ten years. Lastly, Bruce's legal and financial mess can be attributed to Adrian Marshall, who acted as Bruce's attorney and financial advisor. Adrian Marshall was sued a few years ago for his decades of unprofessionalism by Lee's daughter and Linda, who settled their case out of court. Cheers

@@TomBleecker Thank you for your reply and providing the exact context. As to the sale of the letters, if I understand it correctly, the wife in question could therefore sell them through an intermediary who offered them to the auction house and split the profit with him. I would like to ask about the book you mentioned, even though I don't promise to buy it yet = do you sell it in person and in electronic form? Mr. Lee's lawyer must have been an outrageous person! I don't want to believe that, but still I believe that he and his wife should have been more careful, even lawyers have to check themselves, then surely he had friends among the actors who could help him in some way, recommend another lawyer. I am also unclear about Mr. Chow's debts to Br. To Lee, maybe the disagreements between him and Lee play a role here, when Lee wanted to become independent and Chow did not want to let go of the "golden calf" that would make him money. Br. Lee didn't want to be owned by anyone. This show business is pretty dirty. After all, what isn't today. Thank you.

@@annabudasova8258 It's more likely that the letters were cosigned to the auction house, which then sold the letters and were paid a commission. This put authenticating the letters as the responsibility of the auction house. In any case, to me, it makes the most sense that Baker's wife initially had the letters. Many of my books are listed on Amazon, "Unsettled Matters" being one of them. Amazon has both hard copies and kindle editions. Regarding Bruce's difficulties with being paid for his acting, the main problem was Bruce and Chow never had any written contracts. As an aside, there's a huge difference between Hong Kong producers in the 1970s and producers who work in the Hollywood film and television industry. Cheers

Fascinating and insightful, thank you, Tom
Armand Toledo wants me to let everyone know that he delivered flowers to the building where Mae West lived in the late 1970s and that he thinks that was really cool.
Is this the full and complete video?
The entire wedding wasn't film, or it would have run five hours or more. This video is comprised of highlights.
2024 and I guess the official cause of death still stands.
Perhaps technically, especially given that all the medical records and legal depositions no longer exist now that Hong Kong was given back to the Communists. That said, few people, if any, given any credence to the single pill of Equagesic theory.
Brandon ne kadar babasına benziyor
Yüz özellikleri sadece biraz. Fiziği pek değil. Çok daha uzundu ve çok daha ağırdı. Bence Brandon, çocukluğundaki sarı saçları da dahil olmak üzere annesine daha çok benziyordu.

What about those demonic like entities and bad spirits that was in the bruce lee move, Dragon. and I think they had something to do with Bruce's father and a generational curse. Do you know anything about that?
Yes, I'm well aware of the "Lee family curse." In my view, it's a big nothing burger.
Can’t loose with blade runner theme
Bruce died of his vanities.. removing the sweat glands and overdozing water causing cerebral edema.. swelling of the brain. He had no mind-body connection.. he was abusing his homeostasis with his body. He just thought his mind was in control over his body.. never ever undermine your body!! Its the exoskeleton that keeps you alive on this earth.. the spirit is already in etherealm. That was plain stupid or a sign he was willing to lose his life... being as smart as he was.. I believe he was just willing to go..Undetected depression like Keith Flint, Chriss Cornel, Elvis.. etc..
Overdosed on cortisone not water
Amazing!
Amazing!
Amazing!
Hi, Tom! I have heard Bruce use a lot of diuretic , fat-reducing, etc. drugs during the shot of The Way of the Dragon. These caused cerebral edema. What do you think?
It's true that Bruce used diuretics to blow off water that would give him a "ripped look." I've never heard of him taking fat reducing drugs, and I don't see that in his medical reports. Neither one would have contributed to his brain edema. Thanks for your comments.
@@TomBleecker Thanks for your answer.

Hello mister Tom Bleeker. I'm fan of Bruce and Brandon Lee. How can i meet you?
I not much in the public and, to be honest, am often up against a writing schedule under contract. If you have questions you'd like to ask, you can reach me through my personal website www.tombleecker.com. Have you watch any of the 14 Bruce Lee (and Brandon) videos I uploaded to my KZread channel's playlist?
@@TomBleecker yes i watched all of your videos about you and Lees. Also i read your book Unsettled Matters. I agree with you that 70 % that Bruce was murdered. But i don't agree with you that Brandon Lee's death was an accident. It can't be so many fault.
@@Ssssfs What is your theory as to how a murder occurred?
@@TomBleecker i think producers of the crow and director Alex Proyas need Brandon's death to make money .I think casting someone who has starred in martial arts films for the role of Eric is not a good idea. But they initially had a plan to kill Brandon so that the film would gain more fame, which ultimately happened. In 1993, Hollywood made its first film about the life of Bruce Lee. This was the best time to kill his son to attract attention to the film. I don't believe that live ammunition accidentally ended up on the set as a result of them buying all the items from the pawn shop. Moreover, Brandon's friend Jeff Imada discovered these live rounds and hid them in his car. But they asked him to bring them back to the set againThe fact that the director sent home a weapons specialist and changed the scene using a knife to a pistol also looks suspicious. It was also Alex Proyas who chose the Fanboy character who was supposed to shoot Eric. And why they don't give him a bulletproof vest?
@@Ssssfs Your theory is built on the premise of a conspiracy between 3 - 10 co-conspirators to commit murder, which is highly unlikely. Moreover, the two main producers of "The Crow" were not new to Hollywood's film and television industry. Edward Pressman has been a producer since 1967, which is 25 years before production of "The Crow" began. He certainly wouldn't have risked spending life in prison because he was worried about a movie's box-office. Jeff Most had worked in Hollywood since 1982. Besides a list of other problems with your theory, it seems to me killing the lead when the film hasn't finished principal photography makes no sense. It would make far more sense to do this after filming has wrapped.
Goes to show all the good KZreadrs are hidden
I even admire him more !!!!!
Are you saying that you admire Bruce for his drug use or something else?
@TomBleecker I admire him cause he was a real human who had his flaws he lived his life to the fullest ! acheived a lot in 32 years ....
@@ubonsolavong999 I agree that we are all flawed. Concerning his heavy drug use, without his use of drugs, I think it's fair to assume that he would have achieved far more because he would have lived much longer. The same could be said of Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, and a long list of other creative people whose lives were cut short because of their drug use.
So whatever happened to the bully ? i wanna hear about that story
After I began my training, I didn't see much of him because he soon graduated. Years later, I was marketing when I saw him pushing a shopping cart. I walked up to him and said, "Hello, Ron. Remember me? Tom Bleecker?" Because of years of training, I was now more muscular than Ron and exuded ten times the confidence. In all likelihood, Ron knew about my becoming a black belt and fighting in the Internationals. His face turned ashen, and he stuttered a bit and said, "Yes, I think I recall you," trying to distance himself. "So how has life been treating you, Ron?" He nervously gave me a quick overview of his job and marriage, after which I said, "That's great, Ron. Glad to hear it. Good seeing you. Take care of yourself" and walked away. If you haven't seen this video, the encounter with this bully remains my favorite. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eGeO0MqPYd2cf6g.html
Thank you
You're welcome. Glad you found the video worthwhile.
GRACIAS AMIGO POR SU TESTIMONIO !!! ❤❤❤
James Demile and Dan Inosanto told in private to a whole bunch of people that he thinks Bruce was poisoned

Greetings Mr. Tom. You speak on the subject of Br. Lee very well read and trustworthy. Please continue to create and show people what they will not learn otherwise and elsewhere, it will certainly contribute to a better understanding of the life and personality of Br. Lee's. Both the good and the bad. You have something to pass on, don't keep everything you know to yourself if such a thing still exists in your memory or physically. You may not realize it, but you have the power and the power to continue to show things as they are. We can also learn how life was in the 60s and 70s. About the drug letters = I don't think anyone bought them from B. Baker's wife, she could have sold them herself and made a lot more money. It's a mystery how they got to the flea market and I sense some false manipulation around this thing. Personal wish Br. Lee's written letter in the 16th minute of the video is probably evoked by some of his personal hardships in the past, when he was still living in occupied China. It is also known from the position of graphology that he was already under long-term stress at the time when he wrote it. Mr. Lee was a very independent person, and he also had great inner strength, if he set his mind to something, he was able to stick to it. Even though he set high goals that few would have the courage to achieve, he was so confident that he knew he could do it. And he really managed a lot. In the case of his last film, however, he exhausted his strength, because he did NOT have a solid point in his life, which was not given to him by his wonderful wife Linda, who I think was otherwise his great support, but he probably still needed something else. That he had no money at the end of his life? According to information, at that time he bought a beautiful house and a more expensive car. But what I don't understand is that Mrs. Linda was so lacking in authority that she allowed Br. Lee was a financial mess and had little legal treatment, it's true that he didn't know much about the business and was apparently a bit lazy about it and didn't think of backdoors. He was also naive in some ways. But it was also in his wife's interest to control this. Also for the future provision of their children. So thanks for your sharing and keep it up Tom! And if you want to add anything to my comment, I'd love to read it all. 🌷
Hello, Anna, and thanks for your comments. If Bobby Baker's wife tried to sell those letters on her own, it would have been unlikely that she could have gotten anywhere near the half-million dollars for them. There also would have been the problems of authenticating the letters and maintaining her anonymity. Moreover, by having the highly reputable auction house broker the letters, she avoided being the target of a potential lawsuit. I think the flea market story was simply put out there to protect her anonymity. Clarification: Bruce never lived in China. In his youth, he lived in occupied Hong Kong, which was briefly occupied by the Japanese, and then for a much longer period, the British. His "Chief Personal Aim in Life" was written when he lived at the luxurious Barrington Plaza and was likely founded in what he was taught as a child, which was that money was all that mattered. Before Bruce's death, Raymond Chow purchased Bruce a home (although a car was ordered, it was never delivered). The house, however, was in the name of Bruce's butler and childhood friend, Wu Ngan, and after Bruce's death, the house sold at a loss. As I pointed out in my book "Unsettled Matters," although Bruce had very little money when he died, he was owed a lot of money by Raymond Chow. Collecting it, however, proved to be a monumental task that took ten years. Lastly, Bruce's legal and financial mess can be attributed to Adrian Marshall, who acted as Bruce's attorney and financial advisor. Adrian Marshall was sued a few years ago for his decades of unprofessionalism by Lee's daughter and Linda, who settled their case out of court. Cheers
@@TomBleecker Thank you for your reply and providing the exact context. As to the sale of the letters, if I understand it correctly, the wife in question could therefore sell them through an intermediary who offered them to the auction house and split the profit with him. I would like to ask about the book you mentioned, even though I don't promise to buy it yet = do you sell it in person and in electronic form? Mr. Lee's lawyer must have been an outrageous person! I don't want to believe that, but still I believe that he and his wife should have been more careful, even lawyers have to check themselves, then surely he had friends among the actors who could help him in some way, recommend another lawyer. I am also unclear about Mr. Chow's debts to Br. To Lee, maybe the disagreements between him and Lee play a role here, when Lee wanted to become independent and Chow did not want to let go of the "golden calf" that would make him money. Br. Lee didn't want to be owned by anyone. This show business is pretty dirty. After all, what isn't today. Thank you.
@@annabudasova8258 It's more likely that the letters were cosigned to the auction house, which then sold the letters and were paid a commission. This put authenticating the letters as the responsibility of the auction house. In any case, to me, it makes the most sense that Baker's wife initially had the letters. Many of my books are listed on Amazon, "Unsettled Matters" being one of them. Amazon has both hard copies and kindle editions. Regarding Bruce's difficulties with being paid for his acting, the main problem was Bruce and Chow never had any written contracts. As an aside, there's a huge difference between Hong Kong producers in the 1970s and producers who work in the Hollywood film and television industry. Cheers
@@TomBleecker Many thanks for the reply! And your last sentences explained a lot to me, yes the differences between these two production worlds must have been really big at that time, and so you actually gave me the answer to what I was thinking about, it's clear to me now. Mr. Tom, it's great that I found you, maybe you won't appreciate it, but for me it's nice that I was able to meet a person who was part of a lot of what happened in the 60s-70s around the film environment and all that happening. Thanks to you, I seem to have gone back in time to a time that interests me and is close to me. It is another thing to read a book, where there is certainly a lot of information, but a direct way, where I write you a comment and you respond, it is like writing with a close friend, even if we do not know each other personally. I hope you understand me. It is a great joy for me. Thank you!! A beautiful day.
@@annabudasova8258 I am pleased that I have been of some help to you. Cheers
Aloha Tom. Really enjoyed watching this discussion. Read the book when it came out and your "re- visit" of the subject was both interesting and compelling. Again, really enjoy this... Hope to see you at the Camp in Vegas this year.
I will be there. Very much looking forward to it. As an aside, there are 14 videos in this Bruce Lee playlist. Your time and interest permitting, you may enjoy some of the others. Cheers
