Dr. Arnie Klein
Dr. Arnie Klein, Michael Jackson's long-term dermatologist is admitting to giving Jackson Demerol, the drug that may or may not have been injected into Jackson repeatedly, including the day of his death. Klein appeared on CNN's Larry King Wednesday night covering several topics. He confirmed that Jackson had vitiligo and in addition to revealing that he had diagnosed Jackson with lupus erythematosus, he revealed gave him Demerol:
On occasion, [I] gave him Demerol to sedate him. And that was about the strongest medicine I ever used.
When questioning changed to speculations that he is the father of Paris-Michael and Prince Michael, he skirts the question at first, and then denying for the sake of denying. In an oddly unsure statement he claimed the following:
To the best of my knowledge, I am not the father.

Finally somebody is reporting about the Lupus and vitiligo diagnosis. I know I can't be the only person in the America who said 'WOAH' when I heard that. This is big news. For so long so many of us assumed he was bleaching his skin and it turns out not to be true. Plus Lupus is a terrible illness to have. I know a person with it and they are on about 6 different medications. That could explain a lot about the reason why medication was found in Michael Jackson's house. This is the kind of confirmed news which should take precedence over unconfirmed speculation.
Finding out about the diagnosis of Michael was a shock to me. Lupus is a very serious disease that many people don't know about. I do have Lupus and I understand the physical pain and not being able to sleep and lots of other things that the world would never understand. To me that does explain a lot and everything makes complete sense to me.
This doctor is full of crap. He seems believable the way Michael did during interviews but they are so used to lying it comes easy. Are you the father is a yes or no question. "maybe because I donated sperm at a sperm bank" at one time in his life is a b.s. answer. Michael Jackson was amazingly gifted. He also chose to have three children who are all white or at least mostly white. that was a choice. He made his nose microscopic...again a choice. He used creams to make his skin white...a choice. If he had vitaligo he still went to the extreme. Chin implant, eye reshaping. All of it adds up to his obsession with looking white. quincy jones said he had all these pictures of white blond little boys and he thought it was strange. why is everyone so afraid to say Michael Jackson was gifted AND strange as hell? Like many true artists are. defending the weirdness sounds ridiculous. he was strange and he made bad choices and he was the most incredible dancer and singer.
People know nothing about MJ and yet they still hate on him, they know NOTHING, they didnt know he had LUPUS (which we the fans did know) they didnt know how terrible this disease is, they dont know the agonizing pain it produces, they dont know that maybe because of that disease MJ couldnt have children, or choose not to have them cause he didnt want to pass the disease on them or that maybe theyre actuallt his.
I am amazed how MJ was able to dance so perfectly, inspite suffering from this most teasing disease of the world. Of course he was having the great Will power and courage.
Hats off to him. I am Also Arthritis patient I can also understand how he did cope up with this monsterous disease.
