If you look at these pictures at his site and think this was NO ACCIDENT

TEll him. LEAVE HIM A MESSAGE This case needs to be reopened!

OR (even better yet!), please CALL the Coroners office and tell them they need to open their eyes! The number is on his page. Here's the story behind the horror:

My 22 year old son, Nate, lived at home with us. Basically, he was hit in the head, knocked out dragged through our yard etc. etc. and thrown in the shallowest end of our swimming pool about 2 feet deep to drown. I found him Monday morning, August 28th, 2006 wearing his 2 bloody t-shirts, his boxers and his socks in the shallowest end of our pool. Besides the clearly visible injuries to my son's head, nose, chest and legs,the smoking gun in my mind is the one and only one needle puncture that my private coroner found on my son's body and the lethal level of cocaine that was in his system. My son had no tattoos, no piercings. He hated needles. There is absolutely no needle to be found. Who has it? One other tidbit of information my son's life was threatened 7 days before he died. 3 individuals looked at me in my eyes and said "Your son is a deadman" . This happened when my son was trying to protect a very good friend of his from these 3 individuals. The Mesa, Az. police department were given the name and phone number of these individuals the day that I found my son. An Accident?? NO WAY !!! If you would like more information please let me know. Please feel free to repost this bulletin. The more people that I can make aware of my son, Robert Nathaniel Kirk, "Nate's" MURDER, the better. I have this information posted on my profile now as well. ...Jim Kirk

How many people are diagnosed with Asthma, Chronic Bronchitis, Or Emphysema? ALOT

Is it LAM?


LAM goes undiagnosed or is MISDIAGNOSED as ASTHMA, EMPHYSEMA, or CHRONIC BRONCHITIS!



Hi Everyone,
My name is June. I'm 35 years old and I was recently diagnosed with a rare,progressive,fatal lung disease I had never ever heard of.
In fact, not many people have.
In September of 2006 After a catscan of my chest I was diagnosed with the beginning of Emphysema.
It was misdiagnosed as it often is.I was also told prior I had Asthma, and Chronic Bronchitis. The disease I have is called Lymphangioleiomyomatosis. also known as "Lam" and as of yet there is no cure.

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis is pronounced lim-fan-gee-o-ly-o-my-o-ma-to-sis. "Lymph" and "angio" refer to the lymph and blood vessels, "Leiomy" means smooth muscle, and "oma" is a tumor. The last part "tosis" refers to a disease condition. I have 25-30 cysts in my lungs. At times I get very tired.I cough alot and am short of breath most of the time and am easily fatigued.
My recent catscan is now much worse. Along with all the cysts I have multiple "nodules" in both lungs.
The disease has progressed.

LAM is a metastatic disease affecting the lungs, the kidneys, the lymphatic system, and at times, the brain.

LAM is fatal in the lungs as thin-walled cysts progressively destroy healthy lung tissue.

Well if I had LAM wouldn't I look sick?

NO




Now look at a catscan with someone with LAM!






There is no effective treatment and no cure.
It kills women from all races, class backgrounds and countries by suffocating them to death.


Well, wouldn't my doctor know if I had LAM?
Not unless he ordered a high resolution catscan!

I have only found 10 doctors in the United States who even know about LAM!

The Life expectancy for someone with Lam is 7-10 years from onset of the disease.
Time is running out for me and other woman with Lam.
I need YOUR help.



I've turned to myspace to raise awareness and try and educate the community so nobody else goes undiagnosed or is misdiagnosed.

Doctors say LAM affects 1 in 3 million people.
I don't believe this.

If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with Asthma, Chronic Bronchitis, Or Emphysema you need to read about LAM.
