Was JFK a meth addict? Outlandish claims that doctor's secret 'vitamin formula' given to President were in fact methamphetamine In a twist the characters of 'Breaking Bad' would even find sensational, according to a forthcoming book one of America's greatest presidents was apparently addicted to meth. Authors Richard Lertzman and William Birnes, in their book 'Dr. Feelgood,' allege that John F. Kennedy became addicted to the drug through a German-born doctor who also pedaled his medical formula to Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe and Mickey Mantle (among others). Dr. Max Jacobson, originally from Berlin, created a medical concoction that was a source of energy and a pain-killer that made him a popular physician for the rich and powerful. In their forthcoming book 'Dr. Feelgood,' authors Richard Lertzman and William Birnes allege that Kennedy received his first medical treatment from Dr. Jacobson before his first debate with Richard Nixon Screen sirens: Marilyn Monroe and Ingrid Bergman were allegedly a part of Jacobson's influential circle of Hollywood clients According to the Amazon description for 'Dr. Feelgood,' authors Lertzman and Birnes interviewed George Clooney, Jerry Lewis, Yogi Berra and others to get more insight about the infamous doctor The formula that Jacobson, who was dubbed 'Dr. Feelgood' by the Secret Service, provided was actually methamphetamine, according to the authors. The book details that at one point during Kennedy's presidency he actually began 'peeling off' his clothes and danced around a hotel room at the swanky Carlyle Hotel after receiving a dose of Jacobson's formula. Kennedy quite famously did face a number of physical ailments throughout his presidency, including crippling back pain. The authors contend that Jacobson's treatment of Kennedy held a huge influence. He apparently received his first dosage before his first debate with Richard Nixon. If the outlandish claims are true than Jacobson, working from a New York practice on East 72nd Street, served not only Hollywood clients (like Cecil B. DeMille and Ingrid Bergman) but city kingmakers like Nelson Rockefeller. Fans of the cult classic 'The Twilight Zone' might be amused that Lertzman and Birnes include an anecdote that creator Rod Serling was heavily influenced by Jacobson's medication as he penned the show. Before his death singer Eddie FIsher spoke quite publicly about how his involvement with 'Dr. Feelgood' resulted in major drug withdrawal and lifelong health problems. Jacobson consulted with Carl Jung, a Swiss psychotherapist who was the founder of analytical psychology 'Dr. Feelgood' works through Jacobson's history, when in the early 1930's he began experimenting with different medical techniques. He consulted with famed psychotherapist Carl Jung, who introduced him to 'psychotropic' drugs. The formula that Jacobson would later provide to his famous clients was essentially a combination of methamphetamine and blood from goats and sheep. Mickey Mantle played for the New York Yankees from 1951-1968 when the team won seven World Series The book describes in fantastical detail how Jacobson was approached by the National Socialists of Germany who wanted the formula for their growing movement. Jacobson has said his medical concoction was provided to Nazi soldiers. He also claimed that Adolf Hitler became an addict to his medicinal formula. The book 'Dr. Feelgood' is available for purchase on May 7. According to its description on Amazon Lertzman and Birnes interviewed George Clooney, Jerry Lewis and famed New York Yankee Yogi Berra for their book.
