What Killed Sherman Hemsley? The Same Thing that’s Killing the Rest of Us
Sherman Hemsley, who long starred on the hit TV show, “The Jeffersons” reportedly died of lung cancer. It was revealed that the 74-year old succumbed to a rare condition known as superior vena cava syndrome.
Superior vena cava syndrome is a condition where the superior vena cava is obstructed due to cancer or a tumor. This stops blood from flowing to the heart.
Superior vena cava syndrome most likely causes lung cancer and Hodgkin Lymphoma. Lung cancer is the most common cause of death in the US, killing 158,000 people last year, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
There’s a lot that most of us never learned about Sherman Hemsley, such as the fact that he was an accomplished Broadway actor long before heading out west to do “The Jeffersons.” You may also be unaware of the fact that he was nearly 20 years younger than Isabelle Sanford, who played his wife.
Here are some other things you never knew about Sherman Hemsley and “The Jeffersons.” May he rest in peace.

The title says it perfectly. Although he died of lung cancer complicated by superior vena cava syndrome, it is and was caused by the same thing all the other diseases today are being caused by THE FOOD CHAIN and THE TOXIC MEDICATIONS USED TO TREAT THE DISEASES when you acquire them…and you will acquire something if you keep eating the food and not giving your body what it requires which the TOTAL PROPER NUTRITION.
Disease process manifest when organs or system are affected by what you introduce to your body and since GM’s entered the mainstream diet, more people are sick, more on medications, more dying.
There is a Solution. It’s called MORINGA (google it) Discovery Channel did a documentary on it in the early 2000′s…called it the Miracle Tree..The Tree of Life. No Other Botanical on earth like it, it can purify water. NIH says it can treat or prevent over 300 diseases, we have documented 321.
It’s time to take your life in your own hands…BE PROACTIVE. Email me for more info.
The sooner we get back to nature and cut our ALL meat, fish and poultry and eat the majority if not ALL of out fruits and vegetables raw…and take natural herbs…. the sooner we will be able to resist all of these man made attacks on our bodies created to make us weak or die off.
interested in getting more information regarding healthy preventive alternative from medications
I would like to know more about Moringa..
Just Google GRAVIOLA. Don’t get caught up in a bunch of nonsense.
Guess what ? A vast % of black people are not listening.
They seem to having way to much fun being self destructive.
Remember the classic real Hip Hop cut ” Self Destruction “.
I now live in Ghana West Africa and I take Moringa everyday. I had lung cancer before moving to Ghana 2002 but I am doing just great today, also high blood pressure which is now gone. Take care of yourself and do the right thing for yourself.
It’s amazing how Afrikans in Afrika don’t have very few dialysis machines but 80% of Black amerikkkans are on this death machine!!!

Goodnight Sherman Hemsley, great job, thank you for some wonderful memories, we will miss you.

Stupid is sometimes fun. At least it is better than non-stop hate. We need to laugh more. Then we would not need any witch doctors or magic potions.
Yeah, we kill ourselves with food; drugs; alcohol and the life-style we live; it is called self-destruction; but, can’t nobody tell you that while you are living; you have to experience it.
In 2009 Negros spent 65.2 Billion Dollars on food, 3 Billion on Alcohol, 3.3 Billion on Tobacco and ?? was spent on illegal drugs. 23 Billion Dollars was spent on Health Care. May Sherman rest in peace.
The title of this story is misleading. I thought it was going to explain what is killing most of us. Maybe I missed it, so could anyone point where in this very short article, and tell me where I can find this information? I personally, don’t know of many people that has died of Lung Cancer. Also it states that this is a rare condition. Is there an oxymoron contain in here?
