Doctor: I'm Not Hillary's Doctor, So I Can't Offer a Definitive Opinion, But Based on Video of Public Appearances, Hillary Appears to Have Advanced Parkinson's Disease

Little warning in the beginning; Right off the bat, he cites InfoWars for the claimed leak from the Secret Service that she has Parkinson's, which he then endeavors to prove.

Not a good way to start. However, he then notes that among the Hillary emails released by Julian Assange was one by an aide (Jake Sullivan, if I remember right) giving her a summary on the effectiveness of a drug called Provigil -- a drug often used to combat the mental lapses and lack of focus typical of Parkinson's sufferers.

The video does have a Zapruderish "back and to the left, back and to the left" quality to it. So be prepared to tighten or loosen your tin foil helmet, per your own comfort level.

Nonetheless, much of it seems plausible.

He explains the freeze in front of the crowd many have discussed at 11:15. He says this is a common Parkinson's reaction to overstimulous -- the brain freezes, and needs a sort of 'reset" to get going again. He notes that she repeats the words her handler says to her during the freeze, which he claims is a common Parkinson's symptom, echoing the last thing you heard to get your brain firing regularly again.

He also explains the coughing fits. He says this is not bronchitis. Rather, he claims, Parkinson's patients frequently have swallowing problems. They accidentally swallow food or liquid into their airways, their lungs. This aspirated food and water then causes pneumonia.

He doesn't say this, but it can be guessed out: Per his theory, Hillary has had this case of pneumonia for a long time because she keeps getting pneumonia due to this tendency towards aspiration pneumonia.

It should be noted that aspiration pneumonia is a common symptom of Parkinson's -- indeed, it's the leading cause of death among Parkinson's sufferers.

The guy is plainly a partisan and says so. I cannot evaluate his claims for their veracity. I can only say the stuff I've checked out online seems to check out.

His conclusion, that we need to see Hillary's full medical records and not merely a note from her bought-and-paid-for doctor making vague claims about her overall fitness -- a subjective determination, unlike a medical diagnosis, which is not subjective but entirely objective; "he is relatively healthy for his age" is subjective, but "he has a history of cardiac infarctions" is objective.

We know Hillary is a liar. That is not a conspiracy theory; that is nearly a physical fact like the hardness of a rock.

We know Hillary routinely hides and destroys documents that could damage her chances to become president, and enlists and corrupts others to aid her in this cause. Again, this is not a conspiracy theory; this is as provable as the claim that two plus two will sum to four.

Given Hillary's fairly obvious physical weakness, aversion to live events where physical symptoms may become obvious, and self-reported loss of memory due to concussions, her lawyered-up doctor's note is not enough -- we need her full medical records.

By the way: The hapless and ovoid Chris Cilliza attempts to distinguish his claim that John McCain's health was a major concern in 2008, but that we must all cease and desist talking about Hillary's health in 2016, saying this isn't political bias at all -- it's just that McCain would have been 72 when he took office. See, that's relevant!

But, of course, Hillary would be a spry, pink-cheeked sixty-nine years old when taking office, full of piss and vinegar and youthful dreams. Three years! That makes one totally relevant and the other totally irrelevant!

Of course, McCain didn't have people helping him up stairs, nor did McCain confess that some concussions he sustained during falls made during very routine walking had caused him permanent brain damage such that he coildn't remember key events in his criminal history.

But you know-- three years older.

Totally different, see!?
