Is Michael Jackson Sick?

Halperin writes:

“He has had Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency for years, but it’s gotten worse. He needs a lung transplant but may be too weak to go through with it. He also has emphysema and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, which his doctors have had a lot of trouble stopping. He can barely speak, the vision in his left eye has 95 per cent.

“For years Michael has been working with doctors to make sure it doesn’t progress. He has been on medications that have stabilized him.”

Ian Halperin, the author behind a new biography about Michael Jackson, is insisting that the fragile pop star is suffering from lung disease.

Halperin claims that Jackson is suffering from a condition known as Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, which is a potentially fatal genetic illness. Due to the condition, Jackson is reportedly losing vision in his left eye and has developed emphysema.
