Elvis Presley Died of Constipation

According to medical specialists, Elvis Presley’s death was caused by chronic constipation.

Dr. Nick Nichopoulos, Elvis’ doctor, reported that Presley’s colon was significantly larger than normal, measuring 5 to 6 inches in diameter and 8 to 9 feet in length.

The autopsy revealed that the stool in his colon had been there for five months or more.

Dr. Nichopoulos suggested that Presley’s condition was either something he was born with or was caused by some viruses which paralyzed the nerves in his colon.

Elvis was known to have a diet that included bacon, banana, and peanut butter sandwiches.

According to his longtime friend and personal physician, Dr. George Nichopoulos, he often went to the bathroom to “read” for a while.

The book he took in with him was The Face Of Jesus, by Frank Adams.

Dr. George Nichopoulos explained that Elvis’ constipation was bad, but they did not realize how severe it was until his autopsy.

Dr. Nick Nichopoulos, Elvis’ doctor, explained that Elvis’ condition upset him because he believed he could handle almost anything.

Elvis did not talk about his constipation much, as it was not the kind of thing people talked about in the 60s and 70s.

Dr. Nichopoulos suggested that Elvis’ condition was not caused by overeating or eating the wrong foods, as they initially assumed.

Elvis’ bloated appearance was due to his severe constipation.

In 1975, the treatment for Elvis’ condition was to remove part of the colon, known as a colostomy.

Dr. Nick Nichopoulos was in talks with a surgeon at the University of Memphis to perform the procedure.

However, Elvis’ “ego” got in the way, and he would get embarrassed and have accidents onstage.

Dr. Nichopoulos believes that if Elvis had undergone the colostomy, he would still be alive today.

Constipation is a common condition, yet most people ignore their symptoms.

If ignored, the toxins can accumulate in one’s system and turn into something far worse.

According to numerous cancer research cases, lifetime chances of contracting colorectal cancer are 1 in 16 for men and 1 in 20 for women.

Therefore, constipation is not healthy.

The primary treatment for Presley’s condition in 1975 involved removing part of the colon, known as a colostomy, and at the time Dr. Nick was in talks with a surgeon at the University of Memphis to perform the procedure.

However Presley’s “ego” got in the way.

Dr. Nichopoulos explained that Elvis’ condition was either something he was born with, like Hershberger’s disease or some viruses that cause the paralysis of the nerves in the colon.

Dr. Nichopoulos explained that bowel paralysis is hereditary and that it can be passed down to one’s children.

Elvis’ nerves were not functioning in places or weren’t functioning at all because his colon would not push food out; it would just accumulate.

Dr. Nick Nichopoulos suggested that Elvis’ condition was either something he was born with or was caused by viruses that paralyzed the nerves in his colon.

Elvis’ constipation was severe, and he believed it was a sign of weakness.

He did not talk about it much, and people did not complain about constipation much in the ’60s and ’70s.

Elvis’ bloated appearance was due to his severe constipation, which caused him to gain weight.
