Sarah Palin still has a Morton’s Toe !!
The attacks continue by the republicans against Dr. Burton S. Schuler, a foot specialist of Panama City, Fl. All that Dr. Schuler did was to comment that Gov. Sarah Palin had a common medical condition known as the Morton’s Toe, and because of it she may be having aches and pains just like anyone else.
According to Dr. Schuler the website eeemusings.com, first published a photo, on June 11, 2009 showing Gov. Palin having a long second toe, which according to Schuler is the hallmark of a Morton’s Toe. Schuler is a leading expert on the The Morton’s Toe and it complications and the author of the new book Why You Really Hurt: It All Starts In The Foot, the story of the Morton’s Toe.
He feels that Gov. Palin, is just like anyone else with a Morton’s Toe (Long Second Toe) maybe hurting, and under some abnormal stress because of it. Dr. Schuler said, “Because of her having a Morton’s Toe, and her constant fund raising, traveling, and duties as the Governor of Alaska, I think Palin has to be having some aches and pains.” He went on to say “it has been well documented, in numerous medical journals, and textbooks, for over 80 years, that a Morton’s Toe can cause many painful conditions of not only the foot but the whole body. The larger question is can the pain and suffering caused by a Morton’s Toe (Long Second Toe) make a person to temporary loose perspective” Schuler states this is in response to Palin reaction to David Letterman’s bad joke about her daughter.
However, this was not good enough for Palin supports GOP12.com, which refers to it self as “Breaking news on rising GOP stars and the 2012 Presidential Nomination”, claimed, among other things that Dr. Schuler said, “Sarah Palin’s Morton toe is hampering her political career” Dr. Schuler respone
“I never said that, it is a lie from the pits of hell”
Now another web site called The Pink Flamingo discounted Schuler’s comments about Sarah Palin’s Morton’s Toe
Schuler answered these Palin supporters by saying.
”The Morton’s Toe (Long Second Toe) is a serious medical condition that effect millions of peoples every day and these GOP guys make fun of it. Two of the most famous physicians of the 20th century dedicated decades of their time researching the abnormal first metatarsal bone (Morton’s Toe) and the problems associated with it.
What Is a Morton’s Toe?
In the 1920’s thru 1950’s Dr. Dudley J. Morton who taught at the Yale and Columbia Medical Schools, and who was considered to be this country leading authority on the human foot, stated that a problem with one bone in your foot, (Morton’s Toe) was the major reason for most foot problems. Building on his work Dr. Janet Travell, White House physician to President John F. Kennedy, and President Lyndon B. Johnson, and who was also Professor Emeritus of Medicine at George Washington University wrote that Morton’s Toe could also cause pain all over your body. She taught that a Morton’s Toe (Long Second Toe) could cause back, hip, knee, leg, foot, and ankles problems. It has also been shown that a Morton’s Toe can also cause fibromyalgia, arthritis, sleep disturbances (RLS), temporomandibular joint pain, and numerous other problems through out the body. The good news is that the average person can easily treat all of these problems caused by a Morton’s Toe (Long Second Toe) with a simple two-dollar pad.
