On all of the blogs that I've read, most people feel that Michael Douglas' was out of line to divulge personal health information regarding his "friend". But lets put it in another way, Kilmer's statement is really suspicious with mention of Christian Science. And the fact that after 2 years he still has swollen tongue, which makes me think he's actually sick and in denial.

MArley was a sort of different story-his religion didn't prevent him seeking treatment- he just decided to go seek help from holistic therapists, and others. The doctor's suggested amputation of the toe where the melanoma had begun, he instead had the toe nail removed, as well as the nail bed. And he went with a 'cancer' beating diet-which did nothing, tbh.
Similar to what Peter Sellers did when he had heart trouble (ie heart attacks).
I suspect that some time in the 70's, more and more of these 'we can cure you without poisons' movements sprang up(Scientology first gained major prominence round that time, especially targeting celebrities. Just giving a context and example). And that was why so many didn't take doctor's advice, and lost their lives to the disease. -

If he had a swollen tongue it wouldn't change the pitch of his voice. I always heard some wheezing when he was talking. Either he has an infection like pneumonia or a cold or cancer and I doubt it is an infection because this has been going on a long time.
