I think it is more serious than a "hormonal imbalance". A "hormonal imbalance" is something women get once a month. If he has been losing weight steadily this entire year, wouldn't you think they would of found something as simple as a "treatable hormone imbalance" long ago, and got his weight back to a safe standard?
I love conspiracy theories and secretive happenings. In fact, I usually jump to that conclusion often. This time around, I'm thinking its smoke and mirrors. They may believe that Steve's failing health may lead to falling profits/sales, so they throw up a safe explanation.
I think there were several procedures of some kind that occurred during this past year, which may have THEN lead to loss proteins, causing him to lose weight. Whatever the procedures where, standard or serious, they kept it quiet, hoping he would bounce back quickly. It lead to unexpected circumstances, more questions, and finally an explanation. I DO believe he is better and will be recovering this year. Lets wish him well. |
The problem is and this is personal experience from seeing people around me, weight loss problems can come in many different ways with different organs going wrong. They might have discovered a hormonal imbalance a long time ago, but probably had to do more testing to pinpoint the problem.
Also it would probably kill their stocks if they released that Steve Jobs had a hormonal imbalance and not have a cure for it. Since they released in the letter that he was already undergoing treating which shows that he will most likely recover. Since a hormonal imbalance can lead to many different problems.

I would think he would enjoy spending a christmas with his family instead of working hard on the keynote for once. Although I hope it goes well, because the keynotes after steve jobs left just sucked.
