Jermaine said he had Lupus when interviewed for a CHannel 5 programme "Michael Jackson's Face" a few years ago.

Ellie said:

Isn't Lupus fatal eventually?

There are loads of types of Lupus. It's believed that MJ has Discoid Lupus, the less serious form of it. Seal had it too. Lupus is most common in women, but for males it's more common in black men.

Kelle Bryan from Eternal has it aswell - she looks fine but it halted her attempts at a solo career.

MJ goes to the hospital because he has a cold?? WTF?

Although, I guess when your nose isn't really a nose, but bunch of plastic, a cold could be dangerous!

I go to the doctor's office when I have a cold.
A hospital is just another term for doctor's office.

I think a lot of people do that..

so sad.

This is his "New" Jacko Stunt

He has done this for over a year now!!

1) Put a Story out.
2) Wait a few days and then say It isnt true.

Every Stunt is taking this pattern.

The great thing is NOW none of these Jacko Stunts are making it to TV

The Music Era peaked in 1982. The Jacko Stunt Era peaked in 2002. Now it is time to put up or shut up... releasing stories for cheap/quick fixes isnt a option anymore & we all damn sure know he isnt going to ever release new music & or perform anywhere. We saw he couldnt sing half a verse in key

Where did this anorexia stuff come from? Michael has NEVER had anorexia. Michael used to be a strict vegetarian and didn't eat any meat. His doctor recommended that he start eating meat during one of his tours because he was losing so much weight after each show. Just because a person is tall and thin doesn't mean that they are suffering from anorexia. My father was tall and thin and he never suffered from anorexia.
Roger Friedman has to be the most pathetic human being on earth. What is wrong with this creep that he is so obsesssed with Michael Jackson? Btw, for the person who seemed "surprised" that a person could go to the DOCTOR for a cold. Where have you been? That's what people do when they have colds, they go to the doctor before it turns to something more serious. Are you saying that Prince or any other person doesn't go to the doctor for colds? The people who spew that kind of illogical mess must think they are being funny. What's funny about being stupid?

why would eating meat make a difference? I'm OVERweight and I've never eaten meat in my life!

I feel sorry for him if he does have lupus, but I'd find it hard to believe it.

Face it, all he stands for to most people is interfering with young boys. His career will never be the same again.

It was stated that the doctor recommended more protein in MJ's diet, thus the adding of meat.

I'm in the healthcare field and I'm not familiar with people using the term hospital in place of their Dr.'s office. I am Canadian though, so perhaps I'm missing something.

When are people going to learn that Roger Friedman is an OBSESSED man? He could write about Michael everyday if he was allowed to. He makes up these stories, just like the rest of the gossipers/tabloids and then people blame Michael because the story was written. This is why these people are so disgusting. They make up the story and to cover their butts and then they claim that Michael put out the story. Only weak minds would believe that. Notice how all of these stories suddenly begin when these same tabloids/gossipers think that Michael is going to release a new project. It is the SAME pattern-release negative info to detract from the music. Hopefully, people are beginning to see just what these gossip/tabloid types are up to. Their agenda is crystal clear.

SLE is one of several diseases known as the great imitator[3] because its symptoms vary so widely it often mimics or is mistaken for other illnesses, and because the symptoms come and go unpredictably. Diagnosis can be elusive, with patients sometimes suffering unexplained symptoms and untreated SLE for years. Common initial and chronic complaints are fever, malaise, joint pains, myalgias and fatigue. Because they are so often seen with other diseases, these signs and symptoms are not part of the diagnostic criteria for SLE. When occurring in conjunction with other signs and symptoms (below), however, they are considered suggestive.

Dermatological manifestations
As many as 30% of patients present with some dermatological symptoms (and 65% suffer such symptoms at some point), with 30% to 50% suffering from the classic malar rash (or butterfly rash) associated with the disease. Patients may present with discoid lupus (thick, red scaly patches on the skin). Alopecia, mouth, nasal, and vaginal ulcers, and lesions on the skin are also possible manifestations.

Most intelligent people know that the allegations are bullshit. Of course,intelligent people actually took time to follow the facts of the case and not the manipulation presented by the media; especially,people like Diane Diamond( a prosecutor's stooge). Mesereau, MJ's lawyer, said that the media's biased reporting disturbed him most of all. If the media had actually reported what really happened in that courtroom, people would know that this case was as bogus as the other allegations. However, you still have people who actually wanted Michael to be guilty. It's sad that there are people who are sick enough to want a person to be guilty of something that they didn't do.
