Watan – In a recent report by the French-speaking website “Afrik,” significant attention was drawn to the sudden health transformation of Morocco’s King Mohammed VI. This change was particularly noticeable when the King donated blood for the victims of an earthquake that hit the country last Friday.
The report highlighted the drastic physical changes in the King, especially his sudden weight gain, which has raised many questions. Not long ago, King Mohammed VI appeared frail, fueling concerns about his health. Several media outlets speculated that the King might be suffering from sarcoidosis, an autoimmune disease that can have severe implications for the patient’s health. This condition can sometimes affect the eyes, liver, and even the heart.
The website pointed out that the King’s recent frail appearance and his subsequent trip to France led many to believe he went there for medical reasons. However, images from September 12, 2023, show a much healthier-looking King Mohammed VI, especially during his visit to the earthquake victims.
The sudden weight gain has left many wondering whether it’s a result of indulging in French cuisine or perhaps the effects of previous treatments. The answers to these questions remain elusive.
Interestingly, the website also highlighted that patients with sarcoidosis are typically advised against donating blood. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has even prohibited blood donations from sarcoidosis patients. This raises questions about the King’s recent blood donation gesture, suggesting it might have been symbolic.
The report concludes that King Mohammed VI’s recent appearance and health transformation have left an indelible mark on the collective memory of Moroccans. It emphasizes the need for the King to make more public appearances in the coming weeks to assure his people that he is indeed regaining his health and is ready to take back control of the palace.
