Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I just heard today that had lupus. I've never heard before that abuse as a child makes a person susceptible to autoimmune diseases, either. I found another interesting article about this. At the bottom, you can click to hear the actual interview with Dr. Deepak Chopra. I also saw him on Larry King one night shortly after 's death. He talks a lot about dependency on narcotic drugs and how they can actually increase the pain after you get tolerant of them. http://tinyurl.com/knctdw Sue On Jul 9, 2009, at 7:26 PM, wrote: > I everyone, I hope everyone is having a pain-free day.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I wouldn't at all be surprised due to the amount off stress and depression that kind of treatment involves.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 , His private doctor was on ABC yesterday morning, and announced that MJ had Lupus... But I didn't hear that his death was from inflammation from his heart... Thats a new one... Bonnie > > I everyone, I hope everyone is having a pain-free day.

Anyways, my husband told me that had lupus and that the cardiac arrest was from the inflammation of his heart. I couldn't find anything online about that, but I found a few articles that MJ did suffer from lupus. > One thing about the article that hit a nerve with me is this quote from Dr. Deepak Chopra " Chopra told People.com children who were physically or verbally abused can develop autoimmune diseases, such as lupus, later in life " . > Now, I have RA, I was 24 when I was diagnosed and I am 32 now.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 From what I'm reading the likely cause of death was opiAte overdose, but if course it's prudent to wait for the coroner's report.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Kate, The whole thing is such a sad and weird case. There are too many rumors. The coroner's report will put some of those to rest.
