S...Thank you everyone, well, almost everyone! ;-)<br /><br />Sburns: To the best of my knowledge no, Michael did not have Alpha-1 Trypsin deficiency. Yup, that was started by Ian Halperin and he claimed Michael needed a lung transplant! Not true. A1T actually causes people to develop emphysema, typically at a young age (about 40) and it can occur without being a smoker. Michael did not seem to have emphysema. That is when the little sacks in the lungs lose their elasticity. He did though have something wrong with his lungs, though. He had fibrosis (scarring) and chronic inflammation. It was not anything bad enough to need a transplant but I am sure it did effect his breathing, maybe only when exercising but I don't know. I know it predisposed him to lung problems, like colds and the flu, according to the report. I do not know why Michael's lungs were like this. It seems to be from an autoimmunity issue. He had lupus but I think it was only discoid lupus (some cases can have systemic involvement though). Maybe it was idiosyncratic. Regardless of where his lung issues came from his lung disease should have clicked in Murray's head and he realized oh, I REALLY don't need to be giving him drugs that cause respiratory depression. He gave him four that night anyway. I wonder how his lungs affected him while trying to perform during rehearsals. I sometimes wonder if he did not have problems breathing on the set. :,-(gatorgirl277https://www.blogger.com/profile/01700536873177629282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3092279688859602255.post-10946543960007680922010-08-11T10:47:23.399-07:002010-08-11T10:47:23.399-07:00@sburns:message from Nikki,she is currently withou...@sburns:message from Nikki,she is currently without internet and apologises for not answering yet.she will do so when she gets backAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3092279688859602255.post-12858660024834757282010-08-11T09:22:18.074-07:002010-08-11T09:22:18.074-07:00Hi Nikki

If you get a lot of info seekers and/or haters it's none of their business-it's none of my business, either. It's something I read. Thinking back I might have gotten the term from the post Halperin made online. I did NOT read his ugly book or anything of his since!! He must have a really nasty mind to write that stuff.

You have my sympathy although that doesn't help a bit. You do a great job!<br />I have a question. Did Michael have A1 trypsin antigen and how bad did it affect his lungs? I'm not sure I phrased it right. I'm a retired nurse and read that a couple places but it's been awhile. You're the first I've encountered with a medical backround. Thanks!

For what? For putting yourself on the frontline in fighting for justice, that's what. If anyone is has a bad word to say about you for all the endless amount of hours and time you have put into researching Michael's death, then they need to take a look at their hearts and ask themselves what THEY are doing that's so much better. Remember, "to avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing" ~Elbert Hubbard.

Not usually a published book. As in, if you write a long letter to someone, you could say, "that was quite a book I wrote".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3092279688859602255.post-33793121203165508342010-07-25T13:18:50.316-07:002010-07-25T13:18:50.316-07:00^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
