why was russian president vladimir putin
behaving so uncharacteristically in an
easter service and how has it led some
medical professionals to believe he has
a neurological disorder keep watching
for the details the church service that
gave rise to the renewed interest in
putin's health was an annual midnight
mass for easter at moscow's christ the
savior cathedral of the sun reports
putin took part in the ceremony by
standing off to the side and holding a
tall red candle crossing himself and
performing other duties alongside moscow
mayor sergey sobianen news outlets
immediately jumped on a host of odd
mannerisms putin exhibited during the
mass leading to descriptions like
unsteady distracted and frail looking
with some also calling him ashen and
bloated given that putin is a world
leader and recently started a war in
ukraine it makes sense for observers to
put his every gesture under a microscope
and these are quite unusual for the
typically impassive putin some have even
suggested that the whole thing was
staged or that the pictures and footage
from this year's mass were duplicates
from last year's according to the sun
would be online slu cited things like
putin's similarity of clothing down to
the shade of his time on the other hand
this incident isn't isolated during a
recent interview with russian defense
minister sergey shoigu putin appeared
disturbingly rigid while clutching a
table he also seemed to be exhibiting
uncontrolled leg spasms some twitter
observers claimed
putin's recent behavior has led some
onlookers and even medical experts to
believe he's showing signs of
parkinson's disease the former head of
britain's secret intelligence service
told gbn
i mean the best
explanation is that he may have
parkinson's
parkinson's is a debilitating disorder
stemming from the deterioration of the
brain's neurons according to the mayo
clinic many of the symptoms of parkinson
seem to line up with putin's recent
behavior tremors of the limbs combined
with stiff muscles impaired posture and
slowed movement slurred speech and the
emergence of uncontrolled bodily ticks
and twitches parkinson's affects the
entire musculature of the body which
also creates incontinence and
constipation sleep disorders and
difficulties chewing and swallowing
parkinson's also affects the mind it
results in difficulty thinking and
concentrating unstable emotions
depression and more as is often the case
with a life-changing diagnosis some of
the effects are not direct symptoms of
parkinson's but result from receiving
the news itself the parkinson's
foundation explains that treatment for
parkinson's varies from person to person
and includes drugs surgery and exercise
there is no cure at present about 10
million people worldwide have the
disease parkinson's often develops
naturally as someone gets older it can
also be caused by drug treatments for
other disorders and illnesses
schizophrenia and dementia for instance
are often treated using antipsychotic
drugs that reduce the amount of dopamine
in the body this can create drug induced
parkinsonism which accounts for about
seven percent of all parkinson's onset
according to the parkinson's disease
society some have therefore suggested
that putin's alleged parkinson's
developed from an unspecified earlier
dementia
parkinson's is a type of dementia a
category of degenerative neurological
disorders
people often receive a diagnosis of
dementia with lewy bodies on the way to
developing full-blown parkinson's this
is typically from 50 years old on
according to the national institute of
aging lewy bodies are abnormal clumps of
a protein that build up in the brain
they cause all of the involuntary
movement and emotional issues we
associate with parkinson's
numerous people have taken up the putin
has parkinson's banner but newsweek
reports that a nurse goes one step
further this nurse who works with
parkinson's patients posted a video on
tick tock describing evidence not only
of parkinson's but a putin having had a
stroke he's also probably had a stroke
as you can see with the utilization of
his right leg and the jerking lifting he
says that jerking lifting in the legs
indicates a greater possibility of
vascular dementia vascular dementia can
result from a stroke or in tandem with
one and is caused by reduced blood flow
to the brain the mayo clinic explains
those who commented on the nurse's video
largely corroborated it and described
similar things happening to family
members
deductions about parkinson's disease
vascular dementia and strokes can be
made based on observable evidence but
rumors that putin has been bathing in
blood extracted from severed deer
antlers that's speculation hearsay yet
if russian outlet pry act is to be
believed that is what putin has been
doing in an attempt to cure himself of
nothing less than terminal cancer house
speaker nancy pelosi even mentioned it
some people say he has cancer prajakt
claims that putin has visited with
doctors a stunning number of times in
recent years they say he visited an
oncologist and surgeon 35 times over
four years and that doctor stayed with
putin a total of 166 days over that
period putin also met with two
ortholaryngologists one of whom he saw
59 times and who stayed with putin for
282 days
consultations with these doctors prior
concludes points to thyroid problems
which they take to mean cancer praiac
also reports about putin taking to what
one might call alternative medicine for
his health woes now defense minister
sergey shoigu once head of the ministry
of emergency situations allegedly
convinced putin of the health benefits
of bathing in the blood drained from the
antlers of altai stags time will likely
tell about the supposed cancer but we
may never know for sure about the deer
blood one last question why does putin
look so bloated the daily mail notes
that throat and face puffiness could be
connected to steroid use related to
cancer treatment as the national library
of medicine says steroids are prescribed
as part of treatments for thyroid
nodules and lymphoma the md anderson
center further explains that steroids
are also prescribed to decrease nausea
and vomiting associated with
chemotherapy steroid treatment can cause
mental instability agitation confusion
and highs called steroid psychosis the
mayo clinic explains that these symptoms
are similar to those present in
parkinson's patients steroid use can
also cause increased appetite weight
gain and swelling especially in the face
and legs this typically happens if
steroids have been administered for a
long time it's easy to speculate about
what's allegedly been going on with
putin perhaps it's parkinson's the
aftermath of a stroke or the side
effects of cancer treatment by barring a
statement from the kremlin or even more
obvious symptoms it's hard to know
what's happening for certain in the
meantime he'll remain in power and keep
making decisions that affect russia
ukraine and the world at large
it might lead us to believe that he
can't be deterred
and that he's more even more dangerous
than he's proven himself to be
