Elvis' health declined for two main reasons. First and foremost his drug addictions caused several major, chronic health problems. Secondly his eating habits were probably as bad as they could have been. These two reasons combined to cause a steady decline in his health, accompained by painful symptoms, ie, colon impaction, etc. This process started as early as 1961, and became completely out of control by 1973/74.

His private GP, Dr Nick. Who I believed murdered Elvis. He gave those drugs out to Elvis saying that they were fine and there going to help him get better.

Elvis' Doctor knew nothing about health or patient confidentiality.
