Was the deterioration in the hands of Michael Jackson a clue to his sudden death?

Was Michael Jackson’s hand deterioration a clue to his sudden death? One month ago we reported that earlier this year ‘horrible’ photos of Michael Jackson’s hands had arrived in the media speculating about his fight with aging. Now we found an earlier photo of his left hand that confirms that the deterioration of his hands had gone very fast! Let’s take a look at the deterioration of Michael Jackson’s hand between 2006 and 2009!

The left hand of Michael Jackson taken at the Guinness World Records event in 2006!

THE 2006 REPORT: In 2006 a Dailymail report described Michael Jackson’s left hand (see the photo ABOVE) as: “… his brown, cracked nails were desperately in need of a little attention.” THE 2009 REPORT: In 2009 a Dailymail report described Michael Jackson’s hands (see the photo BELOW) as follows: “The singer’s fingers and nails appeared to be in a terrible state when he stepped out this week. … His hands looked very discoloured and skin looked like it was dangling from his fingers. His fingernails could only be described as a manicurist’s worst nightmare.” What are the major changes in Jackson’s nails over the past few years? One striking aspect appears to be the color at the base of his fingernails (where usually the white lunula or ‘nail moons’ are found): while in 2006 the color of that aspect of his nails appeared to be ‘dark redish’, in 2009 it had definitely become ‘brownish’. An interesting ‘in memorium’ report about the hands of Michael Jackson describes that brown nail moon – a very unusual nail disorder – are only known to be caused by medical drugs that are being used to treat cancers of HIV (Aids). So, the ‘rare’ state of Michael Jackson’s nails indicates that the recent rumours (may 2009) that he had skin cancer could have been close to the truth. For, obviously his fingernails have indicated that Michael Jackson was not in a ‘perfect health’ at all – as stated by Dr. Tohme Tohme (a spokesman of Jackson) to the New York Daily News! By the way, Dr. Tohme Tohme denied today in an interview with Vegas Confidential that he was one of Jackson’s doctors: “I don’t have anything to do with his (Jackson’s) medication or health.” To be continued?

A bit of palm reading: how long is your life line?

Cheiro, the palmist. Cheiro is likely the most famous palmist in the history of palm reading. Especially his revelations about the length of the lifeline are famous. Cheiro (1866-1936) predicted for example correctly the dates of death of Queen Victoria and King Edward VII Louis Hamon from Ireland, alias ‘Cheiro‘, became especially well-known for his revelations about the length of the life line. In his most famous work ‘Cheiro’s The Language of the Hand‘ he wrote: “I hold that the Line of Life relates to all that affects life, to the influences which govern it, to its class as regards strength; to the natural length of life, and to the important changes of country and climate. The Line of Life should be long, narrow, and deep, without irregularities, breaks, or crosses of any kind. Such a formation promises long life, good health, and vitality. “My theory, and one which I have proved by watching the growth of this line on the hands of children and young people, is that it rises at the base, or on the face of the Mount of Mercury, and as it grows down the hand and into the Line of Life, so does it foreshadow the growth of the illness or germ of disease which at the time of its coming in contact with the line of life will reach its climax. I wish to call special attention to this point; also to another, namely, that the Line of Life merely relates to the length of life from natural causes, but if the hepatica is as strongly marked as the Line of Life itself, their meeting at any point will be the point of death. Also, no matter how long the life line may seem to be, any abnormal development of the line of health will cause the death of the subject.” In 1990 three British researchers published a study which indicates that the length of the life line indeed correlates with the longevity (age at death).
