Bio Writer Claims Michael Jackson's Health Fading

With a rearranged face and new skin color, Michael Jackson may not be the poster boy for healthy living, but In Touch is reporting that things may be more dire for Jackson than we know. Ian Halperin, author of a new Jackson biography, claims that Jackson may need a lung transplant due to a rare genetic disorder known as Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, which causes emphysema and gastrointestinal bleeding.

Halperin claims that Jackson needs a transplant operation to save his life, which is a potentially fatal condition. The author also claims that the condition has left Jackson barely able to speak and vitually blind in his left eye.

“He’s had it for years, but it’s gotten worse,” Halperin told In Touch. “He needs a lung transplant but may be too weak to go through with it [But] it’s the [gastrointestinal] bleeding that is the most problematic part. It could kill him.”

    Michael Jackson sint a Peadofile and shouln`t be written as one .
    Every one knows that .I`snt nice.
    Lots of people get lung transplatns and is advertised every where.
    What is being written isn`t right. Injection can also be used to help it.What is the hold up .

    Michael Jackson would have been perfectly fine if his doctors gave him the correct medicine. I personally don't think it was cardiac arrest, I think it was a DRUG OVERDOSE.
