On the surface of it, this letter appears to be hoaxy because of the phrases used, the boldening of parts and the seemingly
unproffesional tone it is written in. I've spent some hours getting to know a bit more about Dr Farshchian. It would seem from his patient
testimonials that they recieve a proffessional service, whilst being treated almost like family or at least a family friend, it all seems very
friendly and laid back. He appears to be a bit of a character.
What we don't know is how well aquainted Mj and the Dr were. I would say if they were on friendly terms, then it is not outside the realms of
possibility that Dr Farshchain wrote this and that it is genuine correspondance. Even though the letter is strange. It could be a case of the Dr being
friendly, encouraging, maybe laying it on a bit thick, or just plain old sucking up. (you are an icon/belong to the tops)
U aint seen Nothin' yet is in quotations, and he is clearly quoting mj. The first time (that i know of) that mj used that phrase was at the wma's in 2000.
It does seem strange that the Dr would quote something mj had said 2 year previous, but hey he coulda been watching mj footage at any time, the same
as the rest of us. It's also possible that Mj used this phrase in convo with the Dr.
This is it. <--- ok that ones a little scary, but it IS a common phrase. This is it..the answer to your problem, the solution, the doc just putting emphasis on what he is proposing? Possibly.
Second chapter. This letter isn't Dr Farshchians only mention of Mj's 'second chapter'.
This is from examiner.com 0ctober 2011...
Michael’s friend and confidante, Dr. A.J. Farschchian told Dr. Drew, “Michael Jackson himself is being way over-exaggerated. Health wise, everything you hear about.
Michael was actually afraid of medication.”
Dr. Farschchian said Michael believed physicians had a great amount of knowledge. “He would listen to them and he would trust them … Michael Jackson started his
second chapter of life in 2000 to 2003. He was very active and going to studios every day,”
Dr Farshchian founded the Center for Regenerative medicine in 2000. On healthgrades.com his specialities are listed as orthopedics and Family Practice.
Wikapedia notes that by 2001 Dr Farshchian limited his practice to non surgical orthopedics and sports medicine.
If this letter, written july 21 2002 (the date i find suspect, 7's) is genuine, I dont think it has anything to do with orthopedics (though i could see Mj having non surgical treatment to ailing joints)
The reason being, when TMZ stated 'the doctor refers in his letter to a "5-7 day program that offers you the solution". The doctor does not explain the program'.. that wasn't exactly true. At some point they posted another page of that letter ..

The 5-7 day programme was to be 5-7 days of outpatient buprenex injections before moving on to some kind of blocking therapy, to overcome a demerol dependancy, in a way that would be more private and less traumatic than other options. (the privacy angle may be why the Dr wrote this on a sunday, i assume from his home, rather from a practice with staff). If real, that is.
Personally i dont think there's anything actually hidden in this letter. Genuine or not.
My questions would be.. Who gave this letter to TMZ and for what purpose?
The biggest message i get from this letter is that it shows Mj had a desire to not be dependant on demerol, and if he actually was, sought help and advise to
rectify that, which is in contrast to pretty much everything in the media (especially around the time this letter surfaced) which painted Mj as crazed drug addict who died of a demerol overdose.
So I personally think that was the purpose of this letter going public.
