IUC Exclusive: Michael’s Brother Confirms IUC exclusive about Jackson’s health

Posted on December 21st, 2008 by HisHighness in IUC:Entertainment, IUC:Exclusive
Just days after ianundercover broke the world exclusive about Michael Jackson’s life-threatening illness, which also appreared in a breaking new feature story I gave to In Touch Weekly, his brother Jermaine Jackson appears to have confirmed the report. 
Two weeks ago, I reported that Jackson has been diagnosed with the rare, potentially fatal genetic condition, Alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency, and that he needs a lung transplant.  When Fox News contacted the singer’s older brother, Jermaine, to confirm my report, he reused to deny it.  Instead, Jackson told the reporter, “he’s not doing well right now.  This isn’t a good time.”
His publicist also refused to deny the report.

Two days after I reported on Jackson’s serious medical condition, he was photographed in Las Vegas wearing a Zorro mask, being supported by an aide because he was having trouble walking.
“Michael was urged by his people to make a public appearance to let the world know he’s still alive,” a member of his camp told me today.  “But he’s not well.  We’re deeply worried about Michael’s health.  It has taken a huge toll on his family and everyone around him.”

She revealed that Jackson’s financial woes may be contributing to the problem because he can no longer afford the kind of expensive medical care he needs to see him through this crisis.

    Alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency is both rare and hereditary. It can’t be caused through drug abuse or similar. Of course, Jackson’s medical records are hard to come by but having a disease like this would have made headlines long ago. Jackson may be not well, but certainly he hasn’t got a hereditary disease. Friedman BTW quoted jermaine jackson’s “about MJ not being well” over a year ago so this is not exactly new, is it?

    Я вообще считаю, что это полная чушь. Лучше пойти и выпить пиво, чем заморачиваться. Наверное вы имеете представление о чем пишите, но я в этом вопросе имею свое принципиально мнение.

    Dear people, never forget Michael Jackson is a human being like we all are. He deserves respect. I hope he founds the strength to beat the battle. ok over the years the press and the tabloids havent been nice for him but making up a story regarding his health is a bit too far. I do believe Michael indeed has a huge problem, but mentally, emotionally he, needs care. but nevertheless never forget what he has done for the musicindustry and for all his loyal fans. Let’s pray for him. We gonna miss him as an entertainer because I believe thats gone forever. Never can say goodbye..

    Создание такого блога, как у Вас, конечно, потребовало много времени. Я уже много раз брался за эту работу, даже место покупал для размещения, но вот с популрностью. Ни как получалось, а у Вас как я погляжу, нормально растете от визита к визиту. Ничего, я пока все разузнаю, а потом еще и перегоню Вас по фиду! Успехов, встретимся еще!

    Дискуссии – это всегда хорошо, но не стоит забывать о том, что не всякому мнению можно верить. Часто в очень серйозных и сложных темах комментарии вставляют дети, иногда это заводит в тупик. Спору нет, бывает, что теже школьники могут дать дельный совет. Но это скорее исключение, чем правило. Поэтому я вообще стал относится к интернет-сообществам с некоторой предвзятостью. Интернет слишком доступен сейчас.
