Did you Know this ... about Hitler?

Portrait of Adolf Hitler - copyright status unknown The History Channel documentary on Hitler & at an end of war film (not censored) of 
  • Hitler's left hand tremors: shaking at rest. Also had tremors in legs. 

  • Stooped posture, 

  • shuffling, etc. Hitler's doctor noted 

  • severe headache on the left side of his head

  • fatigue

  • Severe gastro intestinal pains (on & off) 

  • flatulence (farting a lot)  .  .

He was also taking 4 little pills each morning for his for flatulence which had some strychnine in them.  Wow, that wouldn't help as much as hurt, would it?  For the fatigue he was given a vitamin solution with some amphetamine in it.  That seemed to 'perk him up'  When he died he was only 56 years old, but had been looking like an old man.

I don't think he could have lived much longer, based on this health situation, even if he hadn't committed suicide. The comment of an eye witness said he was white ... very pale immediately after shooting himself. (Not normal coloring)

He had been worried about syphilis from an 'encounter' in his youth; but the blood test was negative. (Had lost interest in sex) Then, as now, doctors don't suspect EGBE chemicals for the CFS assortment of ailments

He fought in WWI ... that would be an exposure to explosives' gases.  

  • As early as 1934 he was showing signs of Parkinson's.  His doctor noted 

  • severe gastro-intestinal pains that would come and go.  

  • He was given to fits of rage in the last 3 years of his life ... 

  • his thinking processes were inflexible - did not send reinforcements to Normandy June 6 or 7, 1944; sent too little too late.  

  • His eyesight was failing.  

  • Some comment about paralysis?  

  • BP was 180-170 (very high); 

  • he had heart problems:  coronary sclerosis ('41); 

  • sleep difficulties.

His mother was fanatical about cleaning.  What did the German people use to clean in the days of Hitler's youth.  Other comments were that he had not only 

  • debilitating headaches, but 

  • glazed blood-shot eyes, 

  • sometimes he drooled, and 

  • he had a hard time standing up straight. 

Besides whatever exposures he may have had in his home, and first hand during WWI, he also was in close contact with the soldiers & generals of WWII ... walking down the line, shaking their hands.  This could be a source of second hand exposure:  breath of soldiers ... into eyes of another. . . could have the 2-butoxyethanol chemicals mixed in ...

Do not get the vapors in your eyes!
