Notes

On 6 November 2005 "Jones679" posted the following message in the IORR forum:

If You all want to know the 100% truth no B.S. At all I know! I have known Keith personally since 1980. How you may ask? I was married to a girl at age 18. Her name was Patti Farley. She was great friends with Bill German from Beggars Banquet. And also of course like me since age 9 an avid stones collector also! So we got married and she tragically cause of a heart problem she was born with passed away on my 21st B day at 4am in the morning! That's how I met Keith hanging out up at Bill Germans upper East Side apt. Anyway Keith when he got busted in 77 in Toronto had a Dr. Margerate Patterson flown in from London. She had gotten Pete Townsend and Eric Clapton off of the dope habits also. She swore to Judge Block she knew she could positively get Keith off of heroin. She invented a little black box that ran on a 9 volt battery and went through ohms and you could change the frequencies from 10 mhz up to 90 mhz. I raced motocross and was a pro. And got hurt and I was put on Methadone and started liking it and abusing it also! Keith sent me to England where Dr. Meg Patterson treated me in a hidden place it was at the Church Hill eye clinic in London. I had to stay on it for ten days these wires connect to your ears positive and negative and I remember 70 mhz was for methadone and when my sneezing was like 70 at a time I remember she told me you can switch it to 80 mhz that's for heroin put on that frequency for a bit and it will help the sneezes etc. And that is how Keith got off! As far as does he dabble as a friend I don't talk about personal things but once in a while yes. Other than that he has been CLEAN! Also one more thing! He said I will quote Methadone is a goverment money making racket! And if your going to get high you might as well use smack! So there you have it in a nut shell on my deceased wife all 100% true I have many funny stories I could tell you that are connected to this But for now I wanted to set the record straight! P.S. As far as that seventies blood change thank the media for that One time & ONE TIME ONLY he did have 1 quart of blood clean blood transfused into him when he was sick so when he went to get into Switzerland he would be clean! And then of course he fixed up fast! And was fine and never did that ever again it was a desperate attempt not to lose his touring visa like Brian did! Also Meg Patterson was a very sweet old lady and she recently died of a stroke. I am in her book called Getting of the hook. On the inside Keith say's it's weird when you should be incredibly sick you feel fine etc. Now a place in Florida in the US took over the rights?? for the box which is now more sophisticated and can be programmed to be switched frequencies etc. Example 15 hours on 70 mhz for Methadone and 9 hours on 10 mhz for Valium etc. It can get you off of more than one drug at once although works best if only getting off of one every ten days obviously. One more thing she told me cause Methadone is so hard to kick was off the record 100%. She said if you had had been able to get pure heroin I would have told you to do that in place of Methadone and the detox on the box would have been a lot easier etc. So what you have just read hear is fact! That is a promise to all you Stones fans. I know Vic and would not B.S. You guys please look up what I wrote on another post I would appreciate to know if anyone has what I am talking about on that recent post. This is the second post I made here in like 3 years and only because I came to see if anyone answered mine! LOL I would appreciate anyone wanting to ask me something or answer my question to please! E-mail me at stickyfingers719@aol.com. Thank you all so much Sincerely
Mike DeCaro. And if Riccardo Dianco from Italy is reading this a 20 year long friend Hi! E-mail me. :-)
