This list takes a look at 10 celebrities with life threatening diseases, so the next time you wish u were Kim Kardashian, think twice

1. Magic Johnson: HIV
Magic Johnson, one of the 10 Greatest Players in NBA History . He played point guard for the
Los Angeles Lakers of the NBA for 13 seasons. He was rated the greatest NBA point guard of all time. Who can believe it has been 24 years
since Magic Johnson stunned the world by
announcing that he was HIV positive back in
1991? And he is still going strong due to a
daily cocktail of medicines, giving hope to
those with the disease, showing that it is not
necessarily an instant death sentence.

5. Missy Elliot: Graves’ Disease
Melissa Elliott is an American rapper, singer-
songwriter, record producer, dancer and
actress. A five-time Grammy Award-winner,
Elliott is known for a series of hits and diverse
music videos. There’s a reason why Missy
Elliot stepped out of the spotlight for a while.
Elliott told People magazine that her absence
from the music industry was due to a
hyperthyroid disorder known as Graves’
disease. This is an autoimmune disorder that
affects the thyroid gland and can cause such
symptoms as fatigue, goiter, and eye
problems. She was so sick at one point that
she couldn’t write or drive a car. There is no

that seem to be helping her live her life.

Some of the diseases have no cure

Diseases are actually Satanic infections and God controls Satan. So nothing is impossible for God to stop. Prayer is the Key. Don't swim with atheists.
