Sydney - Michael Jackson allegedly claimed that Elizabeth Taylor first introduced him to painkillers, boasting of the feel-good effects of Demerol, the painkiller that possibly contributed to his death.

Jackson asked Evan Chandler, a dentist and father of the 13-year-old boy he was first accused of molesting in 1993, if he could obtain the drug because Taylor had recommended it.

"Liz told Michael that she didn't have any pain, but that Demerol made you feel good,' Dr Chandler told author Victor Gutierrez, in the book Michael Jackson Was My Lover.

One night when Jackson was staying at the Chandlers' house, he complained of a blinding headache.

Dr Chandler asked what he usually took and Jackson relayed the story about Taylor.

Jackson's personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray had just given him his daily injection of Demerol when he went into cardiac arrest on Thursday.
