For months, there has been a rumor that Democratic presidential nominee was suffering from Parkinson’s Disease, and for months, it’s been just that—a rumor, or as the Clinton campaign put it, “conspiracy theories.”
But a new report from WorldNetDaily on Tuesday night states there may be truth to the rumor, and it’s not a conspiracy theory. Jerome Corsi, the Harvard Ph.D. who is a senior writer for WND and author of several bestsellers, including his latest about President Bill and Hillary Clinton titled Partners in Crime, reports that she has Stage 3 Parkinson’s Disease.
Although his sources are anonymous, he said they are longtime Clinton friends who have had a “personal relationship” with the candidate:
The sources, who spoke to WND on condition of anonymity, explained that her seizures or dizzy spells can be triggered by being out in the sun, such as apparently occurred Sunday when she was videoed collapsing as she was escorted into her limousine in New York City.
Stage 3 Parkinson’s Disease is considered the “mid-stage” of the disease on the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale. It is characterized by loss of balance and slowness of movements, and falls are “more common,” according to the National Parkinson Foundation.
“Though the person is still fully independent, symptoms significantly impair activities of daily living such as dressing and eating,” the NPF website states. “While symptoms are unique to each person, and the progression of symptoms varies from person to person, knowing the typical stages of Parkinson’s can help you cope with changes as they occur. In some people, it could take 20 years to go through these stages. In others, the disease progresses more quickly.”
In Stage 4 of the disease, symptoms are “severe and very limiting,” according to the NPF. While it may be possible to stand without assistance, movement may require a walker, and the patient will require help with “activities of daily living,” and cannot live alone.
In Stage 5, the most advanced and debilitating stage, stiffness in the legs may make it impossible to stand or walk, and the patient will require a wheelchair or may become bedridden. Around-the-clock nursing care is required for all activities, as he or she may experience hallucinations and delusions.
Regardless of our thoughts about her candidacy and the agenda she would advance as president, prayers for healing are definitely in order.
