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

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.

It’s hard to imagine if she would win, and by fall of 2017....she’d admit that she had MS and there was no issue in her being president and having MS. Everyone would then ask....when did you know that you had MS, and then she’d start to grin and let them know that she’s known it for five years.

At this point, the Democrats are stuck. They can’t replace her and there are probably 20 GOP senators who’d like to have a sick/ill Hillary as President. She wouldn’t be traveling. She wouldn’t be making speeches. Just a lame president for four to eight years.

This is so bizarre it’s hard to believe.

Incredible evil canceled out by astonishing stupidity.

All from the mind of a psychopathic pseudo-intellectual frump. And a political party filled with zombies followers who think she’s brilliant.

For those who do not know, daytime sleepiness is a symptom of Parkinson Disease.

Provigil is more indicated for alzheimer’s rather than parkinson’s disease.

Daytime sleepness, including full blown narcolepsy is usually treated with dex-amphetamine.

“...an intellectual frump” - a term I have never heard before, but I love it - brilliant!

“...Just a lame president for four to eight years...”

But she would still be extremely dangerous to all of our values even if all she did was to make appointments. She could be a cardboard cutout and her staff, her cabinet, her judicial appointments, and her other appointments would be busy destroying our country.

Who controls press footage and when it’s released. Noticed this on Twitter a few minutes ago. Seems that it was probably only released after it was approved by the campaign and it shows different angles and what they want you to see. Does the Clinton campaign see and approve all video before it’s released by the press corps.
Seems that the public will never really see an honest view of what is going on with her health if everything is controlled and scrubbed

She certainly had no reason to review this drug for soldiers. That was not her job. She was with the State Dept, DOD.

Most def this was about her

A link to info on the Med. https://www.drugs.com/sfx/provigil-side-effects.html

Modafinil affects the central nervous system. This medication may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert. Avoid other dangerous activities until you know how this medication will affect your level of wakefullness

I think you nailed it.

We are also seeing another case of der Hildebeast’s poor decision making ability. If she was told that she has pneumonia, Friday, she should have checked into a hospital; not the campaign trail. Her lying is another case of not having the decision making ability to be President. Good decision making ability would choose to tell the truth. Not this sub-intellect.

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.
