Mounting
Evidence That Hillary Has Parkinson's - Our Interview with Dr. Ted
Noel (Video)
Charles
Bausman
22
September, 2016
Upon
seeing Hillary's weird collapse at the 9/11 ceremony, the RI
editorial team had a collective "Holy Cow" moment, because
we knew that in an instant, the whole election had just shifted
strongly in Trump's favor.
We immediately began scouring the internet for background, and came across the video analysis of Dr. Ted Noel, who has been arguing since August in very detailed and convincing videos, that the evidence suggests that Hillary could well have Parkinson's. Noel's arguments are very convincing, certainly the most credible explanation out there that we could find about Hillary's weird behavior.
We also researched articles criticizing Noel's hypotheses, and found them unconvincing, to say the least.
We
published an article presenting Noel's arguments and his videos on
Sept. 13, and it generated a lot of interest, with 26,000 views to
date. In the meantime, his original video, which had 1.3 million
views when we discovered it, now has over 4 million, and picks up
about 1 million views per week, hardly surprising, when half of
American voters say Clinton isn't being forthcoming about her health.
He appeared on Sean Hannity's radio show last week.
Hillary's
health continues to be a major campaign issue, and now, 7 days after
our "Holy Cow" moment, we still hadn't found anything as
compelling as Noel, so we got in touch with him, asking if he would
consider talking more about himself and his investigations. He was
happy to. This 30 minute skype video is the result, taken from a
longer, 1.5 hour talk last Friday with Noel, who is retired, with
myself and deputy editor Riley Waggaman. He told us that keeping
track of the Hillary health story has become a full-time activity for
him.
Noel
continues to argue that there is strong evidence to suggest that
Clinton is suffering from the late stages of Parkinson's disease,
although he's careful to point out that his conclusion is a
hypothesis, not a diagnosis.
A
transcript of the 30 minute version follows below.
Here's
what is covered in the video:
- Noel's education and medical experience - and why it makes him particularly competent to understand the issues.
- Whether he might have any political bias in doing this - he prefers Trump, but is up front about it, and argues, convincingly, that what should matter are the arguments and the facts. He points out that you probably won't find a person without political preferences.
- His credibility, considering he is not a Parkinson's expert.
- How much time he has spent, and is spending on his investigations.
- Serious credibility issues arising from the latest statement from Clinton's doctor.
- Why most doctors would be hesitant to speak out on this - it is a potential huge threat to their careers.
- How Hillary can hide her hypothetical sickness most of the time, but not all of the time.
- The likeliness of her having another episode before the elections.
- The significance of Hillary's blue sunglasses.
Some
highlights from our discussion:
Is
Lisa Bardack's letter about Hillary's health convincing?
Dr.
Noel: [Clinton's] pulse oximetry [is listed at] ninety nine percent.
Pulse oximetry came in the clinical practice in 1986. I have used it
every day on virtually every patient I treated since then. So I think
I know what I'm talking about here. First. A pulse oximetry level of
ninety nine percent would be expected in the normal person possibly
through the age of thirty five or forty.
Beyond
that a normal person with no illness whatever will see their oxygen
saturation but drop by one to two percent per decade. So at age
seventy for round numbers the highest number we should see for her
totally healthy, no pneumonia, no nothing, is ninety seven. I'm
sorry, ninety nine is not plausible. And when she has a pneumonia,
it's going to take a week or two to get full recovery. So she should
be ninety five ninety six. Now anything above ninety four, you can
walk around and be OK as long as you're not exerting yourself.
So,
you know it's not a big deal, but this just puts the lie to the
validity of this report.
Why
don't more medical experts weigh in on Hillary's health?
Dr.
Noel: Two reasons. One is time. You know, it takes time to sit down
and prepare this. It took me over four hours just to get the script
for that video correct. And even then it's obvious that I made some
mistakes by not getting the mood of what I said correct. You know,
the verbal mood. The second thing is that the I.R.S. is a piker
compared to C.M.S.
Charles
Bausman: You're going to have to explain what C.M.S. is.
Dr.
Noel: C.M.S., well, I knew them by the acronym C.M.M.S which was the
Center for Medicare Medicaid Services. They're the people who pay
doctors for Medicare and Medicaid work. And they have within law and
regulation the ability to walk into your practice unannounced, do an
audit, in the moment they find something that's slightly less than
perfect charge with Medicare fraud in you have the potential to lose
years of income.
(Dr.
Noel went on to explain that doctors fear harrassment from C.M.M.S.,
a very real possibility since the Clintons have a history of using
government agencies like the IRS to take revenge on political
opponents.)
How
is Hillary still able to campaign if she has Parkinson's?
Dr.
Noel: See, here's, here's the thing, and that's why I put out my
field guide to spotting her symptoms. Parkinson's disease is an up
and down, up and down kind of a thing. You get your levadopa levels
up - you do well, you function well. If you get them too high, you
start getting these oddball dyskinesias.
So,
you're treading a fine line between enough and too much, but assuming
that you’re up, you can move more freely. Hey, the movement
disorders specialist did his job: I can move freely, I can speak
freely, I don't have these other big problems. But in spite of that,
you're going to see from time to time a freeze.
Hillary's
odd fashion choices
Dr.
Noel: [Hillary's] blue sunglasses were identified on Parkinson's
disease forums as Zeiss Z one F one fifty five sunglasses. They
happen not to be sold in the US. And you saw on that video a piece of
an incredible video of a man, I believe he actually had dyskinesia
tardive, which is one of the major movement disorders where he's
sitting with these horrendous, I mean his head is just rapidly doing
this thing, and he manages to reach down get a pair of blue
sunglasses, he puts them on, and all of a sudden he's able to sit
still. He's able to walk without these major disorders.
And
these blue sunglasses have been shown to reduce these major movement
disorders. And also to reduce certain seizure, photosensitive seizure
disorders. And so you look at that and you say “OK, that's
interesting”.
Now
you look at the crowd. Who's got sunglasses? Can I spell nobody?
Hillary's
"dehydration"
Dr.
Noel: Dehydration comes from two possibilities: one - you don't
drink, two - you lose fluids. That's it. No alternatives. As an
anesthesiologist and critical care medicines guy, those were my daily
stock in trade. So I speak with firm authority here. She arrived at
the event hydrated. Therefore, in order for her to become dehydrated,
she either had to sweat like a pig - which I do on the golf course -
hydrate or die. There's no imagery that shows a drop of sweat on her
that I know about. She had to bleed, she had to have diarrhea, she
had to vomit, or have taken some medicine that gave her a massive
dieresis - that is peeing. There's no evidence of any of those things
happening. Therefore, categorically, she was not dehydrated.
Here
is Dr. Noel's main video with evidence that Hillary could very well
have Parkinson's:
Since
our original article about Noel, he has since made excellent
follow-up videos in which he discusses Hillary's 9/11 "medical
episode", as well as her newly released "medical records".

A
rushed transcript of our discussion is provided below:
CB:
Off we go. So Ted, Riley is going to take the lead on this.
TN:
OK
CB:
Cause he's the one who's got the best mastery of the facts.
TN:
OK
RW:
Well, first of all, Dr Noel, thank you so much for joining us. It's
really an honor and a privilege to speak with you today.
TN:
Yes, it's an honor and a privilege for me.
RW:
And I think, maybe the best way to start off just for our viewers,
and if you can just give us a quick bio, your medical background, how
you came to make these viral videos on YouTube.
TN:
You know, sometimes life takes you where you never expected to go. I
started... Well, I went to medical school at Loma Linda University
which people may remember from the story of Baby Favre the baboon's
heart transplant. I know all the people who were involved in that.
Graduated there in 1976, I continued on in training in N.S.E.C. ology
and critical care medicine and finished it in 1980. That was also at
Loma Linda University. And I moved to Florida where I never intended
to go in 1980. I practiced at Florida Hospital and other associated
facilities until I retired on New Year's Day 2013.
I
spent some time doing critical care medicine, I spent some time doing
pain medicine, and also served as the medical director which is an
administrative position with what now is known as Downtown Surgery
Center which is owned by Nova Medical, and that was from 2001 to
2010.
In
any case. I got a call from my brother in 2013 after the very famous
What Difference Does It Make Anyway event. And he says "she's
got Parkinson's disease." I'm going “What are you talking
about?” He says: “That's a Parkinson's rage”.
I've
become very well acquainted with a gentleman in upstate New York who
has advanced Parkinson's and so he's been quite a bit of time online,
and I've since learned about a lot of other caregivers and
Parkinson's family members. And basically, these are the people who
are saying “Look, Hillary has got these signs: she has her big wide
open eyes at times, she has her pauses which they call freezes, and
so I started studying and I never really intended to do anything
among other things, because I couldn't figure out how to tell the
story.
And
then when I saw the Infowars report of Secret Service coming to Joe
Bigs, I said “OK, now I have a way I can tell the story that makes
sense”.
And
so I just simply used that as a way to tell the story, put together
the story, and the rest is history.
RW:
Very interesting. But so, a lot of your critics who are seeing your
videos say that, you know, you're not a specialist in neurological
disorders, you’re not a specialist in Parkinson’s. So how would
you respond to that criticism?
TN:
It's absolutely true. And I'm not making a firm diagnosis. What I'm
doing is saying “Look, I've been pointed to these things and I
start with a foundation of knowledge that all physicians have, and
I've taken the time to spend, I mean to bury myself in the
literature, in the support groups, in all of the other things around
Parkinson's disease talking with people, so that I think I have a
fairly good understanding of how Parkinson's impacts people, and how
the various treating physicians are going to manage it”.
CB:
Right. Riley, I want to stay on this credibility question, because I
think it's actually central, it's really key. So yesterday you were
talking about the fact I thought there were two interesting things
you brought up that spoke to your credibility.
You
spoke about your own experience as an anesthesiologist and the
necessity of you being conversant in an awful lot of different
modalities of caring for people, but you also, I thought it was
important, that you are retired and that you have the time to dig
into this, because most people are really really really busy with
what they do every day, and they don't, they can't do this.
And
so, you know, if you've got a trained and competent and accomplished
medical doctor who can spend hours and hours digging into this,
that's actually a significant fact, and I think it speaks to
credibility that you actually have the time to you know human able to
put the time and to really do the research and study the literature
and understand things, you know, and that's, so those two things.
TN:
Well, let's look first at the first point - on having what I had to
do in the operating room. I was the internist in the operating room.
I had to be conversant in every medical disease it would come to me,
and if something some rare bird showed up, I had to be able within a
period of four or five minutes to become sufficiently conversant to
be able to properly treat the patient.
CB:
OK
TN:
Which means in a sense I’m a cardiologist, pulmonologist,
nephrologist - I’m all of those things in the one. I'm just not as
specialized as they are. So I have a better foundation than almost
anybody else to come to this.
As
for as the time. Absolutely. Time is a big issue. And the interview I
did with Shawn Hannity opposite Zuhdi Jasser, I think, is
illustrative, because Dr Jasser is a wonderful insurance, he's a
great guy and he had great points, but he had not had the time to do
a frame by frame analysis of the episode where Hillary's getting into
the Scooby van.
And
actually people had pointed me to a couple things there and so I went
back frame by frame and I was able to see that she didn't collapse at
all. She was in a wooden posture, and when she tipped, she stayed in
that wooden posture or had stayed absolutely the same in relation to
her body. And that is a very different issue than collapsing. And he
had not had the time to see that.
RW:
Going back to, I think one of the articles that people look at when
they see her on video and they are sceptical, when they read that
it’s Snopes debunking, and a lot, about half of it is basically
what you could call character assassination.
You're
not a Parkinson’s specialist and you don't like Hillary Clinton, so
that dismisses all of your points - whether they're valid or not like
what. How would you respond to that? Do you think that your own
political leanings has tainted your ability to look at this
objectively?
TN:
Well. If one takes a look at my video on how to prove me wrong,
they'll see that my political leanings don't play into the issue.
What I did say very clearly up front is say “I find Hillary Clinton
to be morally and politically unacceptable”. That is saying I'm
telling you what my biases, and every one of us has a bias. There's
just no way around it - we all have bias.
And
if I look at ABC, for example, you've got David Muir who is very
telegenic up there. My wife likes to watch him. But when you watch
the reporting... It's very clearly slanted - they pay no attention to
anything that would ever cast a bad light on Hillary Clinton. Do they
admit their bias? No! They won't do it.
I’m
saying - look, here I am, I'm out for everybody to see - here's my
bias. Now...
CB:
Yeah.
TN:
Medically. Here's where I go. And in the video I did on how to prove
me wrong I said there are two ways to prove me wrong. The first one
is - look at any one of the specific things I pointed out and show me
how Parkinson’s disease either does not fit or something else fits
better, and two - how about we release real records and, as I said on
the end of the show, records that explain what we see?
We
can't be in the position of the lady in Duck Soup listening to Chico
Marx say “Who are you going to believe - me or your own eyes?”
RW:
Just sort of shifting gears... We would like to talk a little bit
about the latest medical records that have been released, if we can
call them that, by her doctor Lisa Bardack.
TN:
You mean these?
RW:
Yeah, right. If you could just for, in layman's terms, maybe
highlight reasons that you think that this is not a very credible
document, or any issues that you might have with it - if you could
explain it to us.
TN:
Well, I have to thank a doctor Wolf who tweets for a couple of
points. Let's look here. She releases a known contrast chest C.T.
scan including a C.T. a calcium score, a wait a minute. C.T.'s.
Computer tomography angiography that is a contrast study. She says a
non contrast to C.T. scan.
It's
a total non sequitur - somebody is putting words out to make them
look good. It says she has a small right middle of pneumonia. Let's
suppose she has it. It's possible. It happens that the right middle
low because of the anatomy of the bronchi is the most common of place
to get an aspiration pneumonia which could come from her Parkinson's.
CB:
OK
TN:
And please excuse me here. I just spoke in the declarative mood and
that's was a problem where people were looking at my big video,
because I slipped from the subjunctive that is the mood of
possibility or probability into the declarative mood from time to
time for the ease of presentation.
This
is all subjunctive, it is the realm of probability that you have not
thought of a certainty. It's hypothesis, it is not the realm of
certainty. I want to make that clear, because people have tried to
take it the other direction. Okay. As I read down on the second page
mill toward the bottom of the large paragraph, her thyroid blood
tests are normal of note, she has remained stable for many years on
Armor Thyroid to treat her hypothyroidism or at the C's a low T three
level close parentheses.
I'm
sorry, that's archaic. Armor Thyroid - yeah you can use it. It's out
there, it's legitimate. And if somebody has been stable on it - fine.
No big deal. You don't change meds to change meds. But, when we look
at it - Hypothyroidism a low T three level? No. Inner chronologists,
when I was in medical school, were using what's called T four -
that's the thyroid hormone with four iodine and on it as the level of
your thyroid function.
Well
it turns out the body has to convert it to thyroid hormone with three
iodines - that’s T three and that's what actually works at the
cellular level, so they went to measuring T three. Well, they
discovered that wasn't quite useful, because it's such a short half
life and varied with a bunch of things, and so they tried to come up
with some way of putting it together - they went to what's called the
Risen T three index which has been since been supplanted by TS H. And
basically what that is a styrene stimulating hormone.
And
it says, when your thyroid function goes down, your pituitary gland
says - n,o it's got to come back out and pushes out T.S.H. to tell
the thyroid put out more thyroid. Anti SH is the standard of care. So
we've got someone here using an archaic method of monitoring.
Well,
let's go further. Blood pressure one hundred over seventy heart rate
of seventy. Well, that sounds really really good. If you were an
athlete, that would be fine. The standard for women of her age is a
blood pressure above one hundred thirty.
Here's
another place where I have an advantage. One of my close golfing
buddies is chief of cardiology or Westie of cardiology at Florida
Hospital where I practiced. That's where I met him. And he talks
about that at her age you don't want blood pressure that low. So you
say one hundred over seventy - that's really low! Heart rate of
seventy.
Women’s
heart rate is typically eighty. And so while this is not proof of
anything, please again, we're in the realm of probabilities. This is
something that might happen if you had Parkinson's disease, because
there is what we call it autonomic dysfunction. The autonomics are
the system the nervous system that controls all the automatic parts
of your body. You're sweating, your blood pressure, your heart rate
and so on. That's all autonomic function.
And
so this is just, it's just one more piece that says “Hmmm”.
But
then comes the one that just jumped out at me. Pulse oximetry of
ninety nine percent. Pulse oximetry came in the clinical practice in
1986. I have used it every day on virtually every patient I treated
since then. So I think I know what I'm talking about here. First. A
pulse oximetry level of ninety nine percent would be expected in the
normal person possibly through the age of thirty five or forty.
Beyond that a normal person with no illness whatever will see their
oxygen saturation but drop by one to two percent per decade. So at
age seventy for round numbers the highest number we should see for
her totally healthy, no pneumonia, no nothing, is ninety seven.
I'm
sorry, ninety nine is not plausible. And when she has a pneumonia,
it's going to take a week or two to get full recovery. So she should
be ninety five ninety six. Now anything above ninety four, you can
walk around and be OK as long as you're not exerting yourself.
So,
you know it's not a big deal, but this just puts the lie to the
validity of this report.
CB:
Wow, it's really interesting. Tell me, Doctor, that high oxygen
saturation number - would you, are you suggesting that that was an
oversight somehow? That they that this report has no basis in fact or
reality? Because obviously if they're trying to if they were making
up a medical report and they were putting out numbers, they wouldn't
deliberately put out a number that's totally unrealistic.
I
mean, it suggests that this was a mistake at somebody’s part. Is
that what you're suggesting?
TN:
Well, the benign explanation is that it's a mistake or the machine
was malfunctioning. That's the benign explanation.
CB:
Is it possible that a doctor Bardack would not have noticed this
mistake, because she's not as conversant in them in these numbers as
you are who seems seen it much more than she has?
TN:
I tell you what happens with a general practitioner or internist.
When you go into their office, the nurse does all of the intake
stuff, blood pressure, puts you on the scales, heart rate, and puts
an ox emitter on your finger and writes down a number. And so this is
not something that's particularly likely that she would be closely
conversant with.
I
mean she could be, but it's not likely, so I, because of all of the
other times, when we have had stuff come out that says she's
perfectly healthy and then we have these various episodes that aren't
answered, it takes us all toward the less benign answer.
CB:
OK. Alright.
RW:
We're seeing more and more actually doctors like yourself or medical
experts coming forward and offering their opinion or their take. You
know, I don't think as many are as invested in this as you are, but
we're seeing more of it but I want to ask you briefly why don't we
see more head Noel's making these really compelling videos on
YouTube.
What
do you think is keeping doctors from weighing in on this really
important topic which is you know the health of our potentially
future leader?
TN:
Two reasons. One is time. You know, it takes time to sit down and
prepare this. It took me over four hours just to get the script for
that video correct. And even then it's obvious that I made some
mistakes by not getting the mood of what I said correct. You know,
the verbal mood. The second thing is that the I.R.S. is a piker
compared to C.M.S.
CB:
You're going to how to explain what C.M.S. is.
TN:
C.M.S., well, I knew them by the acronym C.M.M.S which was the Center
for Medicare Medicaid Services. They're the people who pay doctors
for Medicare and Medicaid work. And they have within law and
regulation the ability to walk into your practice unannounced, do an
audit, in the moment they find something that's slightly less than
perfect charge with Medicare fraud in you have the potential to lose
years of income.
CB:
Right.
TN:
Because they get multiple repayment. It's not a pretty story. Let me
tell you, there is no physician who can withstand an audit where they
want to find something. There is a psychiatrist in prison right now
because he undercharged Medicare. Undercharged, and he's in prison
for Medicare fraud.
CB:
OK. This is just a repeat of the question I asked yesterday. Well,
wouldn't people be, well there's two answers to that - one is people
who are more than three years retired as you are so they're not in
danger of losing their income stream.
Secondly,
what about, you know, I mean, if a doctor came out and criticized
Hillary Clinton and then was investigated by the C.M.S. group? It
would be such a red flag. He'd become a hero of the, you know, the
alternative media, and the libertarians, and the pro-Trump people so
they wouldn't dare touch.
TN:
I don't find that a compelling argument at this point.
CB:
The second one?
TN:
I don't find that a compelling argument right now. Dr Drew Pinsky
simply raised the question about how well treated delivery was on
thyroid medicines. And he lost his reach on his T.V. show. And no
explanation - you're out.
Give
me a break. That's trivial and hits a fairly substantial loss right
there. Is he considered a hero to some degree, but he still has a big
financial loss?
RW:
Right. So you are saying there's a big, there's a lot at stake for a
doctor to come forward?
TN:
Huge. Huge amount at stake.
CB:
What about the first excuse? What about retired doctors who are in
danger of having their practice affected?
TN:
It depends on how interested you are in the subject. It really does.
And do you have the preparation to be able to go after it? And do you
have the interest? You know, it's an issue of - OK, do I really want
to do this, or do I want to play golf?
Do
I want to do other things? What my friends do? Do I want to travel,
but I want to these other things... And you look at it and say which
is more important.
RW:
Let's just sort of look at the future now. So, assuming that Hillary
Clinton has some very serious health condition, very possibly
Parkinson’s, what should we be expecting, what should we be looking
for in the in the coming days and weeks? Because, to be honest, she
made two appearances yesterday, and she doesn’t look that bad, I
have to say.
TN:
Yeah, she looked good. See, here's, here's the thing, and that's why
I put out my field guide to spotting her symptoms. Parkinson's
disease is an up and down, up and down kind of a thing. You get your
levadopa levels up - you do well, you function well.
If
you get them too high, you start getting these oddball dyskinesias.
So, you're treading a fine line between enough and too much, but
assuming that you’re up, you can move more freely. Hey, the
movement disorders specialist did his job: I can move freely, I can
speak freely, I don't have these other big problems. But in spite of
that, you're going to see from time to time a freeze.
RW:
One of the things that are fascinating about this whole debate is,
you know, Hillary Clinton doesn't have exactly the best track ever
comes to transparency and telling the truth. But this is, this seems
like if she's lying about this, this seems like something that she
won't be able to hide forever.
Eventually
something's going to come - at least that's the feeling that I get.
So, just as a doctor, I'm really curious about what your opinion is.
I mean, will she, assuming she does have a medical condition, do you
think she'll be able to hide it from the American public right up to
the election?
TN:
She might be able to. You can argue that what she's trying to do is
run out the clock. And with careful stage managing, with careful
management of her meds, and again I'm in the declarative mode here.
If
you do things right, you could reduce the chance of showing any of
these bad events. There's one place you're going to have real trouble
doing that and that's a debate. And if she has to stand for an hour
and a half or two hours, that's going to be a load that will tend to
show what's out there, and almost certainly the Donald will come up
with some sort of a stressful comment, and those are the things that
tend to trigger events.
So
when we get done with all of that, we have a real probability that
something will show, but it is not a certainty. And so when we look
at all of this, we're sitting here going - OK, what is the upshot of
this? The uncertainty over her health doesn't go away. It continues
to weigh on her candidacy.
And
so she gets more and more pressure to be out in front and look
healthy to try to dispel the uncertainty. I can't, you know, I don't
have a crystal ball to say what happens but my impression is the
longer she waits the more the drumbeat just keeps going, the drip
drip drip just keeps going and just like the e-mails - they wouldn't
go away.
This
is probably not going to go away, and ultimately it's going to be
very difficult for her to maintain a winning vote.
RW:
Well, I imagine that if she has another episode that she did on
September 11th, that's... that's it, right? So...
TN:
I would say that if she has an episode at the debate, there's going
to be no way to cover it. And then you have, then the political
calculation is - OK, the Democratic National Committee has to come up
with “Oh she hid all of this from us, and so now we've got to put
somebody in”.
And
who do they put? They put Joe Biden, Kaine, do they find a third
person, you know, Elizabeth Warren. You know, it becomes a real
problem for them.
RW:
I don't know if you saw it, but she filled a few softballs after her
speech at Greensboro North Carolina, and she was asked about when Tim
Kaine was told about her pneumonia, and she wouldn't give a straight
answer. She deflected all questions, even basic questions like “When
did your running mate know that you had pneumonia?”. She wouldn’t
even answer it.
TN:
Oh see, that just makes it worse. That looks like cover up, and again
that's political, that’s not medical. But that looks cover up, all
the way.
RW:
Yeah, what I really like about your analysis, Dr Noel, is that, I
think, that if you look at some of the odd behavior, or whatever you
want to call it, from Hillary over the last six months, year, decade
and you can just chalk it up to “Well, you know, sometimes people
do odd things”, but when you really put it all together, it really
makes a very convincing case.
And
the one thing from your most recent video that really struck me as
beyond coincidence are those blue glasses, the blue sunglasses. Who
wears those? They’re blue, blue sunglasses! And can you explain why
would someone wear blue sunglasses?
TN:
Let me look on my desk here for a minute, I've got it in the notes.
Those blue sunglasses were identified on Parkinson's disease forums
as Zeiss Z one F one fifty five sunglasses. They happen not to be
sold in the US.
And
you saw on that video a piece of an incredible video of a man, I
believe he actually had dyskinesia tardive, which is one of the major
movement disorders where he's sitting with these horrendous, I mean
his head is just rapidly doing this thing, and he manages to reach
down get a pair of blue sunglasses, he puts them on, and all of a
sudden he's able to sit still. He's able to walk without these major
disorders. And these blue sunglasses have been shown to reduce these
major movement disorders. And also to reduce certain seizure,
photosensitive seizure disorders.
And
so you look at that and you say “OK, that's interesting”.
Now
you look at the crowd. Who's got sunglasses? Can I spell nobody?
RW:
Or who is dehydrated?
TN:
Well, that's a separate question. We can get to that, but I mean
there are a couple of bikers over on one side, you were kind of on
the outside or were in brown sunglasses, but when you look at the
handful of people with sunglasses on this overcast day are all
wearing brown or grey.
She's
wearing bright blue, she's the only one wearing bright blue. That
just waves a big flag. And we saw this once before on Memorial Day in
Chappaqua, when she attended a celebration she wore blue sunglasses,
the same ones.
CB:
Alright, let’s talk about these sunglasses thing for a second here.
Just because I'm somebody, I'm a good, perhaps, example of of
somebody who might be watching this, who, whatever.
Here's
the thing - I don't, I never wear sunglasses and I don't pay
attention much to what kind of sunglasses people wear. Is it really
uncommon to wear blue sunglasses, or do some people actually wear
them just for fashion purposes?
RW:
Why would you wear blue sunglasses at a 9/11 Memorial? Seems like
something you'd wear, I don't even know, you know, Woodstock, like
you know, convention or something.
TN:
Well, first of all, on an overcast day why are you wearing sunglasses
at all? I mean, 9/11 Memorial - blue sunglasses - yeah, would be bad
taste. Yes, there are other blue sunglasses out there, but this one
particular appears to have been shown to be most effective in
handling those movement disorders.
CB:
Because, I guess, my question is this - if blue sunglasses are such
an odd thing to wear and sort of recognized sign that they might be
being used for a medical condition, then you have to wonder, well,
why does she wear them to public events, right? You think she'd only
put them on if, well, you know, they might not be that common, but
some people do wear them and it's not a sign of anything sort of out
of the ordinary.
TN:
Why wouldn't her team take the same tint that you tint the windows of
your car and put the tint across the front of them so that they
wouldn't stand out like a neon light?
RW:
I don't know if you have seen the pictures Charles, but they are like
bright blue! We're not talking about sort of dark sunglasses, some
sort of navy blue, I mean...
TN:
They’re like search lights!
RW:
Yeah, they really are! No, really, it looks like something John
Lennon would wear, you know, like on some interview with, you know.
It's really bizarre! But I guess, a poll question is that so you are
acknowledging though, Dr Noel, that, assuming these sunglasses are
for medical purposes, it's not just the Parkinson's, it could be any
sort of motor disorder.
TN:
Well, there's a whole family of major movement disorders that are
called Parkinson Plus and you've got dyskinesia tardive, Shy Drager
syndrome, you know, and on and on... I have on one of my notepads,
there's a list of about ten of these.
You
can even have motor disorders for multiple sclerosis or mad cow
disease. So, you know, this is what we call a differential diagnosis
- there's a whole basket of these things that are possible, but they
all are tightly related in how they manifest and they all have awful
outlook for the sufferer.
RW:
And Charles, going back to sort of your point, and I understand where
you're coming from, you know. I think someone who is skeptical of
this theory could say “Come on guys, you're talking about blue
sunglasses”. But, you know, the sort of bizarre nature of these
blue sunglasses, you combine that with this wealth of video evidence
of this totally bizarre behavior, and you can't help, but, you know,
connecting a few dots. It just seems so strange!
CB:
I agree, I agree. I just wasn't aware of how, you know, out of the
ordinary blue sunglasses are. I never go into the sunglasses stores.
I don't know what people are wearing. I don't like these different
trends come along. I see sometimes people walking around with orange
looking lenses or something in their sunglasses. So I don't know,
maybe it’s something people choose for fashion reasons.
TN:
I wear amber sunglasses on the golf course to enhance contrast.
RW:
I just don't consider Hillary Clinton a hipster, so it’s like, why
is she wearing these, you know, totally far out, psychedelic
sunglasses, I don’t know...
TN:
We never talked about dehydration and let me.
RW:
Yes, yes, let’s do that!
TN:
Dehydration comes from two possibilities: one - you don't drink, two
- you lose fluids. That's it. No alternatives. As an anesthesiologist
and critical care medicines guy, those were my daily stock in trade.
So I speak with firm authority here.
She
arrived at the event hydrated. Therefore, in order for her to become
dehydrated, she either had to sweat like a pig - which I do on the
golf course - hydrate or die. There's no imagery that shows a drop of
sweat on her that I know about. She had to bleed, she had to have
diarrhea, she had to vomit, or have taken some medicine that gave her
a massive dieresis - that is peeing. There's no evidence of any of
those things happening. Therefore, categorically, she was not
dehydrated.
RW:
Very interesting. Well, definitely keep us posted on everything that
you do, and we of course are very eager to share it with our readers.
TN:
You're most welcome. I’ve enjoyed being with you.
