Biden is not being treated for Parkinson's, White House says

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden is not being treated for Parkinson's disease, the White House said on Monday, after reports surfaced that a doctor specializing in the malady had visited the White House eight times over the past year.

Concerns that the president might be suffering from an undisclosed illness have risen since Biden's stumbled in his June 27 debate with Republican Donald Trump.

The New York Times said White House visitor logs show that Dr. Kevin Cannard, a neurologist who specializes in movement disorders and recently published a paper on Parkinson’s, visited the White House eight times from last summer through the spring of this year.

During an acrimonious briefing, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to confirm Cannard's visit, saying she wanted to respect the privacy of all involved for security reasons.

She said Biden had seen a neurologist three times connected to Biden's annual physical exams.

She said Biden was not being treated for Parkinson's.

He is acting just like my mother, and my mother in law with vascular dementia. It is your “run of the mill” dementia that sneaks up on you.

Both of them could carry on a basic conversation. But they would have no idea who they were talking to. And/or, they would forget you saw them yesterday. To the unaware, they would appear like charming old women. But you wouldn’t have them managing there finances, nor would you want them on the roads.

And, and this one is important, they could give a rote “speech” without missing a word. And by speech, I mean a story, a deflection, or the effort to avoid discussing their disabling issues.

I had another aunt who was also suffering from dementia. Her thing was she could reason ways to “break out” of the nursing home and try to execute the plan.

Dementia does not mean “dottering old fool” until way into the process. This process can go on for years. Both my mom and mother in law had declines over 7-10 years.

It depends on progression.

BINGO

KJP and the art of the HEAD FAKE, WORSE THAN THE CHEAP FAKE. THAT'S ALL SHE KNOWS BESIDES HER OTHER OUTRIGHT LIES..

Biden isn't being treated for Parkinson's. HE'S BEING TREATED FOR DEMENTIA AND IS PROBABLY ON MEDICATION FOR DEMENTIA.

..and she never called on Peter Doocy for HIS questions. Imagine that?

Did it NOT occur to even ONE reporter in the press room that perhaps they could ask about OTHER afflictions besides Parkinson's? Sheesh! THEY ARE ALL COMPLICIT IN THE HEAD FAKE.

If they say he is not being treated for Parkinson’s, then he IS being treated for Parkinson’s.

I’ve known 3 people with that disease. They are all dead now.

Don’t forget how much the Inflation Reduction Act reduced inflation. Or how much the Affordable Care Act made healthcare affordable.

Hes not exhibiting the symptoms of Lewy Body which is why the neurologists who have weighed in have suggested it.

Yes my Aunt was like that. It just got worse over time and finally she had to go to memory care.

So a Parkinsons doctor goes to visit you EIGHT times but its just to what, talk basketball..if a cancer doctor visits you 8 times its because you are being treated for cancer..if a parkinsons doctor is visiting you 8 times, its because you have Parkinsons

And then there's the matter of Biden going home to Delaware every weekend. There's no White House visitor log at the Biden compound and there could be a whole team of medical specialists trying to keep him from keeling over for another week.

“Clever use of the present tense. She did not say he hadn’t been treated for Parkinson’s in the past, or that he wouldn’t be treated in the future, just that he wasn’t being treated at the time the denial was issued.”

“Wasn’t” and “was not,” is past tense. “Isn’t” and “is not” is present tense. Regardless, the gaslighting is undeniable.

Maybe he isn’t being treated for Parkinson’s.

LEWEY BODY DEMENTIA

Stiff hands, or muscle rigidity, can be a symptom of Lewy body dementia (LBD), which is a brain condition that can cause Parkinson’s disease-like symptoms. Other movement symptoms of LBD include:

Slow movement
Shuffling walk
Frozen stance
Tremors or shaking, especially while resting
Balance problems and repeated falls
Stooped posture
Loss of coordination
Smaller handwriting
Reduced facial expression
Difficulty swallowing

“ She said Biden was not being treated for Parkinson’s.”

So he has it, but they can’t treat it.

KJP said she couldn't even mention Dr. Kevin Cannard’s name for privacy and security reasons but the NY times was able to get it from the White House logs. She makes Baghdad Bob look honest.

Everyone knows what Biden is, what his disgusting family are, but they need him, they cant replace him now and they wont..so they are counting on the MILLIONS of imported illegal alien Dem voters to help them out in November and give them the victory

Joe is being treated poorly by his creepy gold digging wife and son.
Joe will never see a minute in jail but Jill and Hunter are next best thing
