Hillary Had State Dept. Staff Research Parkinson's Drug
Young Conservatives ^ | August 23, 2016 | John S. Roberts

Posted on 08/24/2016 6:22:20 AM PDT by xzins

(See Email Below)

Hillary Clinton’s advisors once contacted NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell about her “cracked head.”

That’s not exactly going to make people think she’s in good health.

But wait, there’s more.

A recently revealed email from WikiLeaks shows State Dept. staff being directed to research a drug for Parkinson’s disease.

Hmm. Maybe Hillary was asking for a friend?

From True Pundit:

We know now that as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton dispatched her executive staff in the State Dept. to help conduct research on Provigil, a controlled drug often prescribed for patients suffering from Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Multiple Sclerosis.

Provigil is often used to help such patients stay awake and curb extended bouts of sleep. The drug is also used to treat narcolepsy.

In a series of emails spanning from August to Oct. 2011, Clinton asks and receives information from her trusted inner circle on the drug Provigil, including the side effects of the pick-me-upper drug favored by long-haul truckers to stay awake for long periods of time.

Clinton refuses to release her medical records to the public. Last week, True Pundit placed a $1 million reward on the release of her full medical history. Clinton is now rumored to be suffering from a plethora of medical ailments, including:

Including: dementia, post-concussion syndrome, Parkinson’s Disease, brain tumor, brain injury, complex partial seizures, and many more alleged ailments.

One physician believes Clinton has Parkinson’s.

Dr. Drew is worried, as well.

If Hillary is truly sick, she should do the honorable thing and bow out of the race.

The presidency is not something to play with just because you want to be the first female to hold the position.

PROVIGIL

From: Jake Sullivan To: Hillary Clinton Date: 2011-10-24 14:29 Subject: PROVIGIL

RELEASE IN FULL

From: Sullivan, Jacob J <SullivanJJ@state.gov> Sent: Tuesday, October 25, 2011 9:29 PM To: Subject: Provigil

So I was wrong that it was invented by the military, but right about military use of/interest in it. Background on the drug

below.

Provigil (Modafinil)

• Provigil is used to treat excessive sleepiness caused by narcolepsy or shift work sleep disorder (sleepiness during scheduled waking hours among people who work at night or on rotating shifts). It is also often prescribed to treat

excessive sleepiness in patients with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and multiple sclerosis. Additionally, it has also gained a following among students, truckers, and others who want to stay awake for extended periods of time.

o Modafinil was developed by the French firm Lafon and was approved by the FDA to treat narcolepsy in 1998. It is now

sold under the brand name Provigil by the Pennsylvania drugmaker Cephalon.

o Modafinil gained attention in the medical community because it is the first effective stimulant with no significant potential for abuse.

Modafinil is in a class of medications called wakefulness promoting agents; it works by changing the amounts of

certain natural substances in the area of the brain that controls sleep and wakefulness.

o The precise way that modafinil works is unknown: it seems to slow the release a GABA, a sleep promoter in the brain. It may also affect the histamine system, which is connected to sleep regulation.

o It can be used for two or three day stretches at a time, with few known side effects and little risk of addiction.

Provigil's impact on the body is different from other pick-me-ups, which tend to be indiscriminate in their function:

it confines its activity to the particular neurological processes connected with wakefulness and does not act as a broad stimulant. This is probably why it has not gained popularity as a street drug.

o Amphetamines, on the other hand, promote wakefulness by causing dopamine to flood to the brain. Dopamine is a

"broad hitter;" it sets the heart racing and makes the user feel high, impacting the entire central nervous system. Caffeine affects a different pathway that deals with the neurotransmitter adenosine, and is also a broad stimulant.

The military, for obvious reasons, is interested in the consequences of prolonged sleep deprivation and has tested

modafinil heavily, particularly on pilots.

o A study carried out by the Air Force Research Laboratory found that fatigued pilots on modafinil maintained flight accuracy within approximately 15-30 percent of baseline levels, whereas performance under the no-treatment condition

declined by as much as 60-100 percent. Here, benefits were most noticeable after 24-32 hours of continuous wakefulness. A French study yielded similar results and found that for missions of about 24 hours, modafinil for soldiers

is preferable to naps.

o In the U.S. military, modafinil has been approved for use on certain Air Force missions. The French, British, and Indian militaries have all expressed interest in modafinil.

I guess getting in touch with a physician would be too much like what ordinary people do.

How did this relate to State Dept. business? Did Colin Powell or Condi Rice ever have their staffs research drugs for them? Inquiring minds want to know. As the old saying goes, “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire,” comes to mind.

Modafinil is not classically a Parkinson’s drug, but can be used in preventing sleep attacks in PD patients, Mostly used in sleep disorder patients, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and shift worker sleep disorders. Sometimes (off label) used by middle aged executives who feel they are losing their edge. It can make patients more obsessive and paranoid

“I guess getting in touch with a physician would be too much like what ordinary people do.”

I am sure Hillary Clinton talked to her physician.

The NFL was funding many studies about brain damage and concussions. These studies would be what Hillary was looking for.

Placing a bet here: The Hillary campaign needs to stop the bleeding and garner sympathy. They need to do so in a way that doesn’t confirm her own medical ailments. My prediction is that the emails pointing to research about various prescription meds, Parkinson’s Disease, etc., etc. will be explained away as research for medical problems BILL has. Hillary was clearly just being a loving and devoted wife to the man she has loved all these years.

I can hear the new lie now: “This is a very private matter. We were hoping not to have to air it in public but, because it has become such a distraction to the real issues we should be taking about, our sleazy, mud-slinging political enemies have forced us to disclose this very painful and very personal matter. We won’t address it further, and won’t take any questions, and hope that the American public will be understanding as we live and deal with Bill’s affliction in private.”

Oh, it’s even worse—there are now stories circulating that Secret Service agents were directly talking with three of the best hospitals in the USA that specialize in neurological surgery just very recently. I wonder what patient would need that type of surgery....

I fear this health stuff is a rabbit hole to take everyone’s eyes completely off the e-mail and foundation issue. It also gives Hillary sympatthy to “soften” her stiff cold persona. While I believe there’s probably something there, I don’t think her voters care if she’s got one foot in the grave. Her mocking it on Kimmel pretty much tells me she’s enjoy ting this direction.

We’ve got to focus on her criminal behavior, lies, etc 100%

Most people who have heard of Provigil (Modafinil) and who hear that Hillary looked into it, are just going to think that she investigated how she might be able to function better with less sleep. Apparently many executives use it for that purpose so even if she actually took it for a while this is not going to prove that Hillary has Parkinson;s disease and will just make her seem like a hard-working Secretary of State.

Pharmaceutical Exec: Hillary Clinton Has Parkinson’s Disease

"Involuntary movements" and difficulty walking is a form of dyskinesia

Paul Joseph Watson - August 8, 2016

Other questions continue to swirl, including claims that one of Hillary’ “handlers,” who calmed her during the recent interruption of one of her speeches, carries around a an auto-injector syringe for the administration of the anti-seizure drug Diazepam.

According to Shkreli, the syringe “may be an Apokyn pen, used to treat Parkinson’s,” noting that it was the same color.

Provigil is not indicated for any of the diseases listed in the article.

It has an indication for excessive daytime sleepiness, which is popularly called narcolepsy.

It is used off label for alertness (e.g. jet fighter pilots), ADHD, Alzheimer’s, etc.

A little bit of speed to keep you awake.

Bizarre even if what was happening.

A concussion, falling, strange eye and head movements, freezing, etc.

My eyeballs say that something is wrong.
