Clinton Had Staff Research Alertness Drug Used for Parkinson's
Newsmax ^ | Sept. 9, 2016 | Charlotte Libov

Posted on 09/11/2016 10:24:09 PM PDT by Mr. Mojo

When Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, she had her staff conduct research on Provigil, a drug used to treat sleepiness and off-label for Parkinson’s disease, according to a declassified State Department email released by WikiLeaks.

The drug — Provigil — is a controlled substance approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of narcolepsy and other conditions that cause daytime sleepiness.

It is also used off-label to treat excessive sleepiness in people with Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as other disorders.

In an email sent on Oct. 24, 2011, State Department staffer Jake Sullivan sent Clinton information about Provigil, including side effects of the drug used to stay awake for long periods of time, in an apparent response to her request for information, according to the WikiLeaks post.

I think the pneumonia is a coverup for something more serious, like Parkinson’s. People with Parkinson’s experience fainting spells. Other physical symptoms include bladder and bowel problems.

Hillary’s coughing episodes are due to a swallowing disorder (dysphagia) caused by Parkinson’s. This disorder causes a person to get dangerous bacteria into the lungs which develop into the infection known as aspirational pneumonia. Aspirational pneumonia is the leading cause of death from Parkinson’s. Actor, Bob Hoskins, who played in many movies including Hook and Who Framed Roger Rabbit, died at the age of 71 after contracting pneumonia two years after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. He retired from acting upon receiving the diagnosis. Hillary should do the same and retire from politics.

This is a serious health problem and it would be a serious risk if we allowed anyone with such health issues to be President.

No possible way she checks into a hospital. She would, however, have cancelled the remainder of Friday and Saturday to make the 9/11 ceremony.

Can anyone remember her telling the truth in her first explanation during the last 35 years? I can’t.

Obama could make Bill president by executive order. Or maybe even extend his own given Hillary’s health.

Thanks for posting the YouTube link. Very interesting.

Here it is again for those who might have missed it.

Does HILLARY CLINTON Have Parkinson's Disease?

She does not have Parkinsons unless it is a variety I have never seen before (and I have seen several patients up close). She has some sort of brain condition that might use similar treatments. Some Parkinsons treatments like dopamine also cause more symptoms like dyskinesia and I have not seen that in her either. Even if she has Parkinsons or is coming down with it, she will function normally for 10-20 years with treatment.

I remember reading someone saying Hillary was sleeping 18 hours a day.

I’d bet a lot of money she doesn’t have pneumonia. She’s been hacking like that for a year. I’d bet she took too many meds, opiates for her cough mixed with neurological disorder meds and was basically high from too many meds.


Good bet. Looks like they over did her med “load” after the latest 4 minute hack-a-thon.

I am not sure about her having MS, unless it is progressive and not relapsing-remitting. My mom is only a few years younger than her, has relapsing-remitting MS and has never exhibited the severe side effects that Hillary has. Sure, my mom has taken a tumble or two over the past decade, but she’s hardly ever “sick”, as in flu/cold/cough. She has full control of her head, neck and hands; has never had seizure-like muscle contractions; has never stiffened up and needed assistance standing and even leaning.

Of course, a progressive form could exhibit much more severe effects but then she would very unlikely be able to hide it. Even mom, who was first diagnosed 15 years ago with the “lesser” of two evils, can not walk without a cane. If Hillary’s is so advanced it’s causing all of this, no way she could walk normally at all.

Just my personal perspective on the disease.

I’m wondering how she got through the Commander-in-Chief forum the other day. She didn’t look ill or medicated.

You know she has the exact signs of someone with narcolepsy. She had complete lose of her faculties.

The drug — Provigil — is a controlled substance approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of narcolepsy and other conditions that cause daytime sleepiness.

I think she's taking meds for Parkinson's and having side effects including the cough and altered consciousness. This is going to be a tough road for her. I have no idea how she's going to be able to get through the debates. The best she can do is to quietly admit that she's not physically fit for them, if that's the case, and hope that the American people will accept that. By then it will be too late to put someone else on the ticket. I think this is done.

Definitely think it’s something along the lines of what you said. Just thinking that her behavior waiting for the car did not appear to be illness related, but ‘drugged’ up from all the meds to treat her illnesses. People don’t collapse like that from pneumonia. And this ‘she’s dehydrated thing’ is ridiculous. That would be the 2nd time ‘they’ blamed dehydration. Think about your life, how many times have you been clinically dehydrated. They can’t blame it on the campaign trail. As CIC, POTUS, this will be the next four years. She’s frail and she has serious conditions as you stated. Hoping this truth comes to light by means of handing over legitimate health records.

She may have thought, “ I made deal after deal and did everything I was told to get to be prez.” I say “Sorry hun, too late. Some things just weren’t meant to be!” Now, as my son says to me, “shouldn’t you be knitting or something, lol”

Actor Bob Hoskins died two years after being diagnosed for Parkinson’s. How in the hell did he die from Parkinson’s after only two years of diagnosis? He died from Aspiration pneumonia. We watched her cough for more that 4 minutes in Cleveland. She could not swallow the water properly after coughing on her own saliva. The inability to swallow properly is a common effect of Parkinson’s. There is even a swallowing test to determine the condition. The medical term for this is dysphagia. Another condition is dizziness and fainting spells. Have you in your medical experience seen those symptoms? Have you ever tested for dysphagia?

Very good words. Another condition of Parkinson’s is dizziness and fainting spells. It looked like a fainting spell to me and it was not from the heat and not from pneumonia. It was the effects of Parkinson’s, which is the huge Beast, the huge elephant in the room.

The other condition that is a effect of Parkinson’s is frequent dizziness and fainting spells. We saw her faint and collapse before they threw her into the vanbulance like a piece of meat. She even lost her shoe (was it a red shoe?).

It is the effects of Parkinson’s, which is the huge elephant—the huge Beast the room. The smell of that Beast, after being chucked in her air conditioned vanbulance, must have reeked.

Don’t forget the time Hillary was late returning to the stage during a primary debate. MSM shrugged it off like it was no big deal. It was a huge red flag. And, even if it was not health related, it would have destroyed any Republicsn candidate. 100 times worse than Rubio reaching for a sip of water. Plus the hag had the audacity to joke that a recent coughing fit was caused by an allergy to “Trump.” What a miscreant. These are things that are seen in her very limited, highly controlled public appearances. What is going on behind closed doors?

And this ‘she’s dehydrated thing’ is ridiculous.

I am not buying that excuse either unless the dehydration is a side effect of medications. The odds are pretty high she has staff 24/7 to remind her to stay hydrated and monitor her health.
