SANTA MARIA, CALIF. — A controversial blood circulation machine was delivered to Michael Jackson's (search) Neverland Valley Ranch, a source close to FOX News said.
According to Jackson confidant comedian Dick Gregory (search), the controversial blood machine squeezes the legs and allows the heart to rest for a second or two. Gregory said the machine was invented at Harvard University and is used in Japan, but is prohibited by U.S. hospitals. The machine is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (search), Gregory said.
The machine was delivered Saturday evening around 6:15 p.m. PST. FOX News has obtained exclusive video of a "Global Cardio Care" van leaving Neverland, escorted by Jackson security around the same time.
A source says a technician and/or nurse came with the machine to hook it up. The machine will remain at Neverland.
Sources close to the Jackson family say that Gregory has taken over oversight of Jackson's medical needs and ordered the circulation machine be delivered to Neverland. The blood machine was part of an overall health program, a source said.

First, why is Dick Gregory in charge of Jackson's medical care?
Second, could this blood machine have anything to do with these constant trips to the ER throughout this trial?
Third, if this idiot is convicted, are CA taxpayers going to have to continue this kind of freakshow treatment?
Fourth, why do I care? (Which I can answer...some sick part of me wants to hear about his stint in prison...dropping the soap, etc.)
Fifth...Why did you post this?
:)
Is that all it squeezes?
He'll only be allowed to use powdered soap. ROFLMFAO!!!!
Know why MJ likes twenty-six-year-olds?
Because there's 20 of them!
Thank you for wasting JimRob's bandwidth with this garbage.
your name fits.
who gives a ....
Yes, unfortunately, occasionally it does :)
LOL!
I'm sure it's not a new joke but it was new to me!
What a perfect way to sneak out of the ranch and be put on a private airplane leaving the U.S. It gives him plenty of time to get to a country that doesn't have an extradition treaty with the U.S.
The number changes, but the sentiment's the same. That's a great joke.
What's black and comes in little white cans?
This machine can't take the place of children though!!!
A comedian is MJs physician? Well. That would explain Jackos nose.
This happened a week ago and the machine was never used. Jackson took one look at it and sent them away.
"if this idiot is convicted, are CA taxpayers going to have to continue this kind of freakshow treatment?"
Meanwhile, the news media breathlessly reacts to this patently stupid attempt on Jackson's part to garner sympathy for being a pedophile.
Sure, Jackson's a sick bastard. The news media's just as sick as he is.
