SKELETAL CLINTON BEING EATEN ALIVE!

Down to mere 137 lbs. after killer infection & raging heart problems

-

HAGGARD Bill Clinton’s sickly appearance has friends and experts fearing the former president is wasting away as he battles a new, lifethreat­ening medical crisis, sources dish.

Now 76, Clinton looked feeble and deeply diminished as he struggled to keep pace with wife Hillary, 74, during the couple’s recent getaway in the Hamptons, tipsters squeal.

“People were shocked to see how withered he looked and how labored his breathing seemed to be,” whispers a family insider. “He seemed a hollowed-out shadow of himself.” A shocking photo captured Clinton creeping along a beach in New York’s Long Island region. Spywitness­es blab Bill sported big circles under his eyes and appeared gaunt and stick-thin, making him look like a scrawny scarecrow! “Everyone gets old — but Clinton’s decline has been incredibly fast and frightenin­g,” adds the insider. Longevity expert Dr. Gabe Mirkin believes Clinton is at a dangerousl­y low 137 pounds given his checkered medical history — and observes, “He looks terrible!”

Clinton has been laid low by heart woes and severe infections. He became a vegan in 2010 after having four stents placed in his heart — six years after enduring quadruple bypass surgery. But ironically, Mirkin warns a diet free of animal products can trigger cardiac trouble.

“Loss of heart muscle is frequently exacerbate­d by a vegetarian diet,” Mirkin explains. “A vegan diet is often deficient in B12 and calcium, which are vital in proper heart function!”

But medical experts fear the damage may already be

done — dooming the past junk food junkie to future medical catastroph­es! Mirkin, who says Clinton may be a candidate for a future heart transplant, observes, “His heart episodes have left the muscle weakened and replaced with useless scar tissue that cannot effectivel­y push blood through the body. That means his blood may not be carrying enough oxygen to the brain, leaving him a prime candidate for a stroke and potentiall­y fatal future heart episodes.”

Last October, Clinton was hospitaliz­ed for emergency treatment for a urinary tract infection that developed into sepsis. “Sepsis is extremely dangerous and often chronic,” says Florida-based oncologist Dr. Jerome Spunberg. “Sepsis is also notoriousl­y resistant

to antibiotic­s and often has lingering effects that leave a patient compromise­d and a prime target for organ failure.” Mirkin notes sepsis can cause lingering weakness and “permanent damage to the heart, lungs or other organs.” And stunned bystanders say Bill seemed to be exhibiting signs of such ill effects during his recent beach outing.

“You could see it in the Hamptons,” the insider squeals. “His breathing was labored, and he shuffled along like a man ten years older than he is!” The doctors quoted in this article have not treated Bill Clinton.
