Nick Cannon Releases Part 1 of his health documentary

Autoimmune diseases arise from an inappropriate immune response of the body against substances and tissues normally present in the body. In other words, the immune system mistakes some part of the body as a pathogen and attacks its own cells. This may be restricted to certain organs (e.g. in autoimmune thyroiditis) or involve a particular tissue in different places (e.g. Goodpasture's disease which may affect the basement membrane in both the lung and the kidney). The treatment of autoimmune diseases is typically with immunosuppression—medication which decreases the immune response.Nick Cannon has released poignant footage from his stint in hospital battling kidney failure as part of a documentary series about his health battle.

Mariah Carey’s husband was hospitalized in December during a family vacation in Aspen, Colo., and diagnosed with acute kidney failure, and he was back under the care of doctors in February after blood clots were discovered in his lungs.

The rapper/actor was later found to be suffering from a rare form of autoimmune disease lupus, and he has now released a film about his struggle with ill health. Reports have also been swirling that Mariah is fearful that the twins may also inherit this disease

The first part of the documentary series, titled NCredible Health Hustle, was posted on Cannon’s website on Monday and shows him lying in a hospital bed at the height of his health battle.

The video also shows Cannon receiving a visit from his grandfather, being helped to dress himself, and displaying his swollen face, which is puffy from his illness.

He narrates the footage and says, “A few days ago, I was with my family in the snow, playing, having a good time. All of a sudden, I started swelling up, having shortness of breath, excruciating pain in my right side. I wake up in the hospital, a bunch of doctors telling me I’ve got kidney failure… This is my journey. Ups and downs. It’s raw. It’s personal. My setbacks and my triumphs. My pain, my grind, my life.”

She has it all from the girl next door appeal, to extreme sex appeal.
