thread_title: Latest Interview

message: The opening paragraph currently flatly states that he has chronic Lyme disease. I believe this should be changed to saying that he believes he has that disease, since as its wikipedia page states, most doctors do not consider that to be a useful diagnosis. The personal life section also states that eight doctors confirm the diagnosis, but I could not find that information in the given links. Subcelestial (talk) 21:17, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I think a greater degree of certainty is appropriate. Lurie got confusing diagnoses but then a consensus emerged among the doctors. Here's the cited source: Rick Moody writes about the conclusion, "...having by now been diagnosed by eight different purveyors of contemporary medicine with chronic Lyme Disease." Seems solid to me.

thread_title: Chronic Lyme disease

message: His face doesn't look Anglo-Saxon. He looks more like mix of Arabian (probably Syrian) and White. The name "Lurie" sounds English enough, but his face. I have been to Syria and a lot of people there look very similar. Can someone confirm Lurie is of Syrian descent? 93.219.170.174 (talk) 05:55, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: (10 years later) It's not very encyclopedic that the current version of this article includes no information about Lurie's family background or ethnic heritage. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 17:45, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

text: This article states that Lurie is a "half-Welsh, half-Russian-American Jew." Source: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2010/08/16/sleeping-with-weapons 173.88.246.138 (talk) 17:53, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

text: This additional article clarifies that Lurie's mother was Welsh and his father was half Jewish and half Sicilian. Source: https://www.villagevoice.com/2020/01/28/john-lurie-growing-up-in-public/ 173.88.246.138 (talk) 18:06, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Syrian ancestry? 

message: As the person said 9 years ago the article on CLD basically says it's not a real disease. The article should reflect that. I will change it. Sirhissofloxley (talk) 18:39, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
