Jackson's skin had been a medium-brown color for the entire duration of his youth, but starting in the early 1980s, it gradually grew paler. The change gained widespread media coverage, including rumors that he was bleaching his skin. In 1986, he was diagnosed with vitiligo and lupus; the vitiligo partially lightened his skin, and the lupus was in remission; both illnesses made him sensitive to sunlight. The treatments he used for his condition further lightened his skin tone, and, with the application of pancake makeup to even out blotches, he could appear very pale. The structure of his face changed too: several surgeons speculated that he had undergone multiple nasal surgeries, a forehead lift

He lost weight in the early 1980s because of a change in diet and a desire for "a dancer's body." Witnesses reported that he was often dizzy and speculated that he was suffering from anorexia nervosa; periods of weight loss would become a recurring problem later in life. Some medical professionals have said he was suffering from body dysmorphic disorder, a psychological condition whereby the sufferer dislikes his appearance and has no concept of how he is viewed by others. He had a fourth rhinoplasty in 1986, and had a cleft put in his chin.
As a children’s author of the kids book series, Danny the Dragon

One question from concerned mothers is how to prevent kids from getting sick, as parents are looking for safer alternatives to the new flu shots, which have only been tested in short-term studies. Fortunately, some great research has been released recently which demonstrates the advantages of two natural supplements in fighting off illness in children. It turns out that probiotics and vitamin D are now highly recommended in warding off the flu in kids.
Probiotics are “good germs,” which promote a healthy balance between good and bad bacteria and between good bacteria and yeast in the digestive system, boosting immunity. A recent study shows that preschoolers who were given probiotic supplements twice a day were less likely to experience fevers, coughs, and runny noses than preschoolers who weren’t taking any during flu season. Breast milk naturally has probiotics and there are also probiotic-fortified formulas out there for non-breastfed babies. There’s also a type of fiber called prebiotics which promotes the growth of probiotics (dannythedragon.com/category/childrens-health). You can pick up powdered or liquid infant and children’s probiotics at the health food store and add these to breast milk, formula, or other liquids your child is drinking. Make sure to check the container for storage instructions. Usually, they need to be stored in the refrigerator. This nutrient can be found in probiotic-rich foods such as yogurt and yogurt drinks as well as certain brands of baby foods.
Many studies have cited the benefits of the super-nutrient, vitamin D (tinaturbin.com/natural-alternatives/take-your-super-vitamin), and I have written about its amazing health benefits for women. Vitamin D is an excellent way to fight illness in kids because it helps to activate immune cells. It’s recommended that children get 400 IU daily of vitamin D. What’s unique about this nutrient is that you can get it just by enjoying some sun; sunlight triggers production of it in your skin. Unfortunately, a lot of kids don’t get enough exposure to sunlight, so they’re not getting enough of this important nutrient. It’s important that you provide vitamin-D rich foods such as fortified milk and juices, cheese, eggs, and salmon in your child’s diet. A glass of milk has 100 IU of vitamin D. Unless your child is prepared to drink four glasses of milk a day, which is unlikely, it is probably a good idea to find a supplement with vitamin D in it. Similarly, for infants who are exclusively breastfed, it’s important to find a supplement with 400 IU of vitamin D, as breast milk is deficient in it.
Basic precautions certainly should be taken during cold and flu season, such as making sure your kids wash their hands regularly, especially after using the restroom, coming in after playing outside, and before eating. Teach children how to cover their mouths when they cough and sneeze, too. Since you work hard trying to prevent your kids from getting sick, it’s nice to know there are a couple of natural supplements that can do some of the work for you.
