Nader's medical records - Has he ever released them, or will he now?

[TacticalPeek]

I realize this may seem like an unfair slam or whatever, but it ain't.

I have beaucoup things I would slam this ego maniac over, and they are mostly covered in many other threads here. I swear to Koresh that I simply have bona fide intellectual curiousity about this point.

Last night, watching a clip of him playing on TV, a medically savvy person in the room looked up at his visage on the screen and said "He's had a stroke." I looked closer, and sure enough there was a left side/right side thing to the way his face looked, beyond the normal difference everyone has. I could only notice it in a full-face, direct view, not in an off-angle shot. His left side seemed a little more droopy, fixed or whatever.

The medical person said it could have been just a 'little' stroke. And I think this has virtually nothing to do with his chances to be prez or to foil others.

I'm just curious, and googling around a little turned up nada. So, does anyone know? Was this reported and I missed it? Is this totally off base, simply a wrong guess?

1. I don't think you're being unfair at all.

He should release his medical records. I too think he's had a stroke; if you compare pictures of him from the 1980s to today, you can see that something has gone terribly wrong.

2. As far as I know, Nader

has never released his medical records, however, I do recall his lengthy explanation (4 years ago) of why a much 'droopier' face came from some b.s. and in no way did he have a stroke.

This man has a lot to hide.

3. Will bush or kerry release theirs?

Wouldn't they be more relevant considering they are more viable candidates for such an important job. -assuming that's your concern and not just discrediting a voice you don't approve.

4. Nader has discredited himself far beyond my ability to add or subtract.

And absolutely, ANYone seeking the presidency should release their medical records. I would support a law requiring it. Same goes for financial history. No secrets.

Pure curiousity, just like I said.

5. other causes

the droopier face could have also been caused by bell's palsy. it causes one side of the face to droop or freeze up.

if anyone watches WWE wrestling, their announcer/VP of personnel Jim Ross suffered thru a couple of bouts of it, causing his face to droop, his eye to appear 'off' and even slur his speech at times

nader should release his medical records as should all the candidates, but lets not jump to conclusions about anyones medical history.

6. Interesting possibility.

And I do not want to jump to conclusions, in fact, don't even think something like this would necessarily disqualify anyone from seeking or holding the office. You know, put the facts out and let voters weigh and decide.

I'm simply intriqued with the medically trained eye. I recall an article decades ago about Che Guevara (I believe he was trained as a medical doctor?) that mentioned that in his diary he would sometimes record medical obsrvations about his men. The part I remember was about one of his guy's having a probable history of asthma, likely based on slumped or bowed shoulders, which I believe helps one get more air in.

I just wondered if it had ever come up, and as ProudLefty says above, Nader may have already answered it, somewhat.
