His trustee wrote in the memo yesterday that Romney's and Ryan's medical report would soon be released.

1. I would love to see his mental acuity

and his IQ reports.

[grasswire]

2. a mental health evaluation would be good

But that ain't gonna happen.

3. I'd like to learn what prescription drug he was on during his slurred convention speech. nt

4. These guys do have THAT goin' on

there are so many areas of HUGE hypocrisy and lack of ethics - that we should focus on to keep the foxes out of the henhouse.

5. I heard his personal long-time physician wrote a brief letter saying he was a-okay

No details, of course and no medical history of medications taken, operations or other procedures, hospitalizations, or treatment. I wish a detailed medical history starting at day one of a candidate's life was a requirement.

7. Gee, it would be nice if the insurance companies settled for a note from the dr.

He should release his medical history. Sorry! That red button needs someone with a cool, stable mind near it, not some wishy-washy decision maker. He can change lanes in the campaign, but not as president. We'd never know where he stood on anything.

13. The problem with that is that Lincoln and FDR probably wouldn't make the cut

6. All you will probably see is a doctor's note saying he is in good health.

He is under no obligation to release any personal medical information at all.

8. Doctor report:

Willard is in good enough health for his age however, he is still not fit enough to be president.

signed: Dr. Frist
former video tape doctor

9. Here's some info. He's taking Lipitor--it can cause memory problems!

Doctors Say Romney and Ryan Are in Good Health

By MICHAEL D. SHEAR


Mitt Romney is a “vigorous man” who has “reserves of strength, energy and stamina that provide him with the ability to meet unexpected demands,” his personal physician wrote in a letter released by the campaign on Friday.

The two-page letter said that Mr. Romney, 65, takes Lipitor daily to lower cholesterol in part because of a family history of cardiac issues, including heart attacks.

There are lots of articles on the net about how statins like Lipitor can cause brain damage and memory loss. I personally would never take Lipitor.

10. Until recently, there was a school of thought that it could delay Alzheimer onset

My mother has dementia and I've run across lots of medical opinion including results from clinical trials that Lipitor actually helps. More recently, however, you are correct; the current weight of opinion is that it does no good and may even be harmful. Did Romney use the Lipitor for cholesterol or because he was seeing a physician who promoted its benefits for treating Alzheimer's?

One of the nation's foremost Alzheimer experts, neurologist Marwan Sabbaugh mentioned very positive results in clinical trials with Lipitor in dementia patients in his best-selling book. And there has been a lot of research on the connection between Alzheimer's and high cholesterol. If Romney has early signs of dementia and sought a doctor who promotes this type of treatment for dementia it might be important to know.
