Why Hillary Clinton's Health Really Is a Major Issue

[GeordieWhyAye]

Read my blog at drugoy.weebly.com

As a politically involved individual, I often talk about politics with my family and friends. One of the biggest issues right now is regarding the mental state of Hillary Clinton yet no one that I've talked to in the past week have done so little as heard about it. This startled me, for I live in a conservative area and yet this issue hasn't even been brought to light over here. First of all, I am not a Democrat or Republican. Second of all, I know that facts trump feelings, and will try to be as unbiased as possible.

This issue all started in February, yet nobody knew it had arisen. Hillary Clinton can be seen needing help up the stairs in this picture below.

It may look like a simple tumble at first glance, yet this is more startling than one may make it out to be. The African American individual that can be seen helping her up the stairs has been displayed as a secret service worker, yet this is most likely false. In various images across the internet, he can be seen helping her do simple tasks, such as standing, going to sit, and as seen above, going up the stairs. Who is this mysterious man? Well unfortunately, as he has come into the spotlight, he has miraculously disappeared, even though he has appeared with Hillary since the beginning of her campaign. It is almost as if there is a cover up.

Is there any evidence against the former secretaries' health, other than that image. In short; yes. Unlike any other candidate in any of the 21st century elections, Secretary Clinton is almost always seen with a stool when not with a podium at a rally. Perhaps she requires something to lean/sit on while talking at one of her rallies. Once again, the stools have miraculously disappeared as people have brought attention to them using #hillarysstools on twitter. You can see one of her infamous stools' appearances below.

No other candidates have been seen using a stool at any of their rallies. And now they're gone. Strange perhaps?

Another piece in the puzzle is that of a seizure like symptom. She continues to have seizure like symptoms when exposed to flashing light such as a camera. This may show some sort of an epileptic issue. She continues to repeat the same actions for periods that last about 30 seconds to a minute, yet returns to normal as if nothing happened.

Many say this is some sort of rightist conspiracy to foil her shot at presidency, yet this is being upheld by two highly respected doctors. Television personality Doctor Drew has looked over Hillary's past medical records, and has assumed that from afar, she may have Parkinson's or epilepsy. One of the top 5 neurosurgeons in the world, Dr. Ben Carson upholds the same analysis. Both doctors believe that this is a result of a 2013 concussion, that leaves 30 percent of its patients to experience this behavior. This concussion was a result of a blood clot that prevents blood escape from the brain.

Make your own decision, but the public should have the right to know and see the medical records of both presidents, as if this is true, Hillary may be unfit for presidency. ​

Geordie, your whole argument is full of holes, or should I say caverns. You may not be a registered Republican, but you are obviously extremely in their pocket with your ideas. You mentioned that you were startled to find that no one you have recently talked to has heard of a problem with Clinton's health, even though you live in a conservative area. A brighter man would realize that is a sign that ii is not accepted as fact so little is said about it.

You said that "Parkinson's on a president is the last thing we need." Even if your bull about Parkinson's were true, it would not be the last thing we need. Trump lunacy would be far more dangerous to this nation, as well as others. If you have trouble seeing that, see the link provided by @jacquesvol. plus just try to follow his thoughts as he speaks. He begins on one thought, changes after a few words, and then changes even more after that. By the time he finishes one sentence he has gone through several thoughts without communicating one of them.

[PizzaPrincess]

Maybe I'm biased, but I'm not sure why it would matter if she has epilepsy. When I was first diagnosed, my doctor told me people are fully capable of leading normal lives. Just because someone needs help sometimes, especially an old woman, doesn't mean they aren't.

[StickStickity13]

Because she might hold the most critical job in the world

[GeordieWhyAye]

@StickStickity13 Exactly, you can see the horrible aging affect it had on Obama, a man who was in his 40s when he started his presidency. Parkinsons on a president is the last thing we need.

[Nothanks700]

Considering the other choice, even if Clinton had severe Parkinson's, I'd take that over a guy that has literally no clue how government works, and is possibly the most ridiculous choice for a presidential contender we've ever had.

[sjoes006]

@StickStickity13 of course and we wouldn't want a president struck by Polio either.

[StickStickity13]

@sjoes006 polio doesn't effect your brain, just nerves in the muscle.

[madhatters4]

aside from rumors there is no evidence of any real health issues that would prevent her from fulfilling the roles of president. if it is true as wiki leaks has recently said that there is rumors of parkinson, we can rest easy that parkinson's only reduces a persons ability to control muscles but does not reduce cognitive function in any way

JFK had addison's disease which required constant pain killer and steroid regimen
FDR had polio
Andrew Jackson suffered from rotting teeth, chronic headaches, failing eyesight, bleeding in his lungs, internal infection
Woodrow Wilson had multiple strokes
Reagan dealth with Alzheimer’s disease after the assassination attempt
George HW Bush had Graves Disease and dealt atrial fibrillation due to hyperthyroidism
Warren Harding spent time in a sanitarium
Eisenhower had heart attack, stroke, and suffered from Crohn’s disease while in office

obviously it's unfortunate if she truly does have some health issue but until it's confirmed or proves that she is incapable of fulfilling the roles of the office (which would result in impeachment) i see this is a non-issue

[Anonymous]

This is a total lie that has been debunked. www.snopes.com/.../

the big black dude around her is NOT a doctor. he's a secret service agent. Seen here with another secret service agent. Notice the secret service pin on their left lapels.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CpVnw7ZXYAA3TJH.jpg

Here you can see him rush on stage with other secret service agents to protect her from a perceived threat then giving instructions to the agents. www.cnn.com/.../...-stage-at-clinton-rally-sot.cnn

In this video you can see the same agent, notice the secret service earpiece in his right ear, waving the supposed diazapram pen before hillary's path. That behavior with a medical pen makes no sense. That is not a medical pen but a secret service device and we don't know what it does.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f--sakIve2Q

She's 68 years old and you question her health cuz she had trouble walking up stairs? you clearly know nothing about the eldery. My grandparents who are around her age also have trouble with stairs but their health is fine.

You're really going to accept a medical diagnosis of someone who watched her on tv? one of whom happens to be a republican presidential candidate? lol. get real man.

Right wingers live by the motto if you tell a lie often enough, people will believe it.

[vishna]

Dr. Ben Carson can not count as a reputable source on this matter. Sorry, he just can't. That should be obvious.
Ok, so with Carson out you have a reality TV doctor, ethos is a little better now.

Yes, this does sound like some sort of rightist conspiracy theory, and your choice of doctors only helps that look more true.

Do I care if she needs a stool to get through long rallies? NO. She's old. All the candidates are. If she chooses to sit on a stool, who am I to judge?

Do I think these allegation about seizures are false, probably. I can't say so with 100% certainty, but you've done nothing to change my mind.

[StickStickity13]

How is Ben Carson not credible? He's one of the top neurosurgeons in the world before he retired. He was an expert in his field. You have zero credibility saying that.

[vishna]

@StickStickity13 Think critically about why HE can't be trusted as a reliable source regarding ANYTHING Hillary Clinton.

[StickStickity13]

I know why YOU think he's not credible, but he is infinitely more knowledgable about this subject than you or me

[vishna]

@StickStickity13 He has a bias. An extreme bias. Most people know he's a pioneering neurosurgeon, but give me a break.

[StickStickity13]

so we should only listen to democrats?

[vishna]

@StickStickity13 No, in general, you should stick to a reliable source. An opposing political figure is not a reliable source. Big picture-not stupid political squabbles.

[StickStickity13]

But it's not like he's uninformed about what he's talking about. He knows more than 99.9% of the population

[vishna]

@StickStickity13 Yep, that's been established. If you can't see why he isn't the best person to say she has an illness then ok. I'm not responding to this thread anymore, just circles.

[StickStickity13]

It doesn't matter what his political stance is at all. Good day

[Phoenix98]

O really well a panel of medical doctors on live tv on the news also said she had brain damage, so did the best doctor in the country and that she was unstable they fired him after he said it.

[vishna]

@Phoenix98 link?

[Phoenix98]

I'll look for it here in a bit I believe it was on Fox news.

Do you want both the doctor and the news panel or just one or the other?

[vishna]

@Phoenix98 Both. Preferably not from Fox though (heavily biased news source)

[Phoenix98]

Alright I'll see what I can do ^^.

[sjoes006]

I'll agree that any candidate of Hillary, Bernie or Dinald's age health comes into question. Trust me, in 2008 when people said she'd run again it was little comfort.

So forms what does this mean? It means I care more about the ticket. I care who the VP is but other than that I don't care because they are are old.

BUT GUESS WHAT, WOMEN OUTLIVE MEN. (Mic drop)

We're about to see the most amazing societal reboot in modern history and it is much needed. The UK, Germany and the U. S. will all be led by a woman at the same time and it is going to be both ground breaking and amazing.

OMG the things these women will do together.

[fauchelevent]

She's a 68 year old woman - needing help up the stairs or needing to sit down rather than stand isn't anything unusual. The movements in that video also definitely don't look anything like seizing to me. I've seen photo-sensitive seizing and it's not really even close to how it looks. Even if she did have epilepsy, she wouldn't be the first president with health issues.

[sjoes006]

Thanks for making my night! Seriously. I'm 31 and I've been following the Clinton's on foot since I was 8 so I really like to hear your age group not hate her.

I get help on stairs in heels or even just an arm because I'm a woman.

Hillary is the same age as Merkel but like you say even if the reports were true who cares? Hillary is the dog that won't give up. She will not give up.

I'll sleep easy even during hard times with her in office. She has given her entire life to public service for money or not for money. I know her whole life and service record. I've met her and Bill when I was young and I never once doubter there service to our country even during the impeachment.

[paxamor]

One of the photographers who was present at the so-called seizure went on the record when these conspiracies arose and said that it was not a seizure despite appearances. You can look up the interview. As for the stool, she's old. Who cares? I'm 18 and I'd want a damn stool if I had to speak for hours on end.
She's fine, and at the very least seems more sane than the alternative.

[MagiAlphaOne]

@GeordieWhyAye, you obviously put a lot of thought and work into this Thank you. You provided citation and a dispassionate analysis which I find rare in your generation.

Hillary Clinton's health is an issue because being the President of the United States is an incredibly stressful job.

Clearly, Hillary Clinton is simply not physically fit to be President.

The link below shows how the stress of Office has aged President Obama and other presidents.

[Anonymous]

Lol look at all the hypocrite democrats! Back in 2008 when McCain was running, his advanced age and health questions were blasted by the media 24/7, and I mean they kinda had a point, you do need to be in reasonable health to be president. Now Hillary Clinton can't even walk straight, has symptoms consistent with brain damage (verifiable PHYSIOLOGICAL symptoms), and everyone is saying that is par for the course:

1. No its not my parents are about her age and neither need help going up stairs, or have symptoms consistent with brain damage.

2. Even if it IS par for the course you don't want ANY president of the US in such poor physical health they might not be able to run the country. Or have a seizure and press the "Nuke Russia" button by mistake :p

[GeordieWhyAye]

Anon, I couldn't agree more. Even in 2012 there were people demanding to see Romney's records. I think we should make it required for each nominee to release his official health records.

[Paris13]

A Person who is Running for President, should Not... Bark like a Dog.
Although you are Supposed to be of Sound, Mind and Body, which we Know even Barry Isn't, this One, hun, has Been Diagnosed with Head problems that Goes way Beyond her First Diagnosis a year or So Ago, and it will Definitely be the Death of her, even if she Makes it to the Ballot comes November.
We don't Need another 4 years of Obama nor Another 4 years of Someone who not only shares His Ideas but is Not... Fit as a Fiddle to be in the Sweet Seat.
Clinton is Barking up a Tree and it is Getting Worse. Mentally and Physically and with just Everything she has Touched or is Touching or Plans to Touch with Every Button she Pushes, she is Looking to put Herself in the Dog House, not just The... Hospital.
Good luck and Great question. xx

[Paris13]

*MY Take, @GeordieWhyAye xx

[Anonymous]

My mom is 67 and she needs help going down the stairs because she feels dizzy and going the stairs up is something she avoids at all costs because she says het knees hurt.
The first thing she does when I make her go shopping with me is to find a seat or a bench or something to sit on. She refuses to leave her spot until i need to leave the nearby stores. She also doesn't like very loud and crowded places because she feels anxious. My mom is perfectly healthy. She even had an MRI done from her brain, neck and spine last year and everything looked normal. I think Hillary Clinton is healthy as well, she is just in her late 60s and it's pretty normal to get tired after stand for hours!

[sjoes006]

I'm sorry you come from a family that doesn't value or can't afford healthcare. My mother is that age and still runs marathons. She's an OBGYN.

[Opinion Owner]

@sjoes006 i live in germany and health care is free here. Good for your mom then! Maybe she should run for president then😏

[Nicolás25]

Listen kid i live on a cpnservatove state i lidtemed tp exactly wjat you just said in tje same order and guess wjat people that are going to vote for hillary domt give a fuck if sje jas a running mate that thinks similar as she does and for whatever reason sje can't continue her dutoes as presodent there's this thing called a vice president that was put in place for exactly that kind of scenario so who cares akso tje doctors you mentioned are extremely bias you sjitting me thats like the christian university of alabama sayin they proved god exists well no shit theyre going to say that

[Nicolás25]

My keyboard was in Spanish my bad

[JohnDoe3000]

She's a 68-year old woman, of course she's not going to be quick on her feet. I doubt Trump is breakdancing in his hotel room. Ben Carson isn't exactly a neutral observer and assuming from afar someone might have some disease is no better than using a search engine with your symptoms (according to those 80% of the population has some incredibly rare terminal illness)...

[RelentlessGoals]

I can't believe people in the comments here are acting like seizures, blood clots, and trouble making basic movements is normal for a 68 year old women. There's a reason why countless neurologist, physicians, and specialists are calling Hillary's health out. Even Americas most trusted physician, Dr. Drew, says Hillary literally has brain damage from the drugs she's been given.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRtdA1w7AAQ

[Anonymous]

And I'm assuming you're another Trump supporter who feels Trump doesn't need some sort of brain scan? Look, he has a mental illness and so does 75% of Americans.

[alphadoggystyle]

Wrong, and regardless this kind of mental illness that Hilary clearly has is on another level entirely compared to whatever problem Trump might have (and there is no proof or even indication that he has anything tbh)

So people should be aware to decrease Hillarys chances of winning even more, hopefully it is enough, unfortunately so many women want a woman president regardless of the quality of the candidate, and i hope they dont get what they want.

[QuestionMan]

Trump isn't crazy he's just wrong.
There's a difference.
The myTake writer was talking about the physical health only, which Trump seems to be doing better in.

[Opinion Owner]

I'm not here to please anybody, if you don't like what I said, you can all SHOVE IT!

[alphadoggystyle]

we dont care about you pleasing anyone, you're just flat out wrong and I corrected you. So you can shove it yourself.

[GeordieWhyAye]

I am not a trump supporter. I support neither candidate. Please do not make bogus assumptions on who I am and my political views.

[StickStickity13]

Mental illness and what she has are totally different. You must be uneducated

[sjoes006]

Agreed he's old, in bad health, his wives are merely arm candy that gets traded in.

His current wife is simply an embarrassment to women in general. I honestly was hoping for her to come off as smart or independent, not a mail order bride. But she's a mail order bride and Donald, that's sad

[Opinion Owner]

@sjoes006 thanks for slapping some sense into these people. Stupid Americans...

[jacquesvol]

A neuroscientist explains: Trump has a mental disorder that makes him dangerous: www.rawstory.com/.../

[AlphaMale1]

Who knows for sure. Clinton is such a bag of corruption she could be doing this stuff deliberately to take the focus off her past. I would not put anything past this evil person and would never, ever even consider voting for her regardless of her political party. She needs to be taken out of the public eye and government positions. She is no civil servant.

[QuestionMan]

I think it's just a conspiracy to keep her out of office. She definitely should not be the president but I feel this is a stretch. I don't like flashing lights either and standing for long periods of time can be tiresome. Perhaps she's just old.

Gary Johnson 2016!!!

[CSZRFGyGuy]

Look at the dumb low information democrats of this website desperate trying to defend Hillary criminal Clinton, Trump is 2 years older than her and is better health. I feel bad, I'm not in America and I can't vote for Trump even with all the terrorism and crimes of the thugs paid by democrats to attack Trump supporters. Go back to watch trash like CNN, MSNBC and similar Hillary Clinton Mainstream trash media of brainwashing. I bet the American schools are the same garbage too just to brainwash the average stupid people for the establishment/state.

[Phoenix98]

It's an issue because a panel of doctors on live television all agreed Clinton has brain damage, and is not fit to hold office from a medical standpoint, hell the best doctor in the country said she has brain damage and was unstable and they fired him after he stated that.

[howzit2015]

why does it matter if she has health problems? Your president Franklin Roosevelt was in a wheelchair, and they modified his desk to conceal his wheelchair during televised announcements. They even went to great lengths to ensure there were almost no pictures of him in his wheelchair.
