Kuru is transmitted through ritualistic cannibalism.
Kuru ultimately leads to death. It basically messes up your muscles where you lose control of them. This is the reason we keep seeing Hillary falling.
Hillary has been showing many of the three stages of death by Kuru. The clinical progression of kuru is divided into three specific stages, the ambulant, sedentary and terminal stages. There is some variation in these stages between individuals but you can bet Hillary has the means to fight it more then most.
In the first (ambulant) stage Hillary did exhibit unsteady stance and gait, decreased muscle control, tremors, difficulty pronouncing words (dysarthria), and titubation. Then it got worse.
In the second (sedentary) stage, Hillary was having trouble walking without support and suffered ataxia and severe tremors. This is where we were first seeing pictures of her being helped by her handlers going up and down stairs or even into her car.
I think Hillary was at this stage during the election and was the main reason we didn't see her much. She was showing signs of emotional instability and depression, yet we would see her in front of the camera doing uncontrolled and sporadic laughter. More symptoms of Kuru for this stage.
In the third and final (terminal) stage is where they start having problems of sitting without support. I think that is why we are seeing Hillary wearing that body brace under her clothes lately. If we start noticing she is losing weight then we know she has developed dysphagia or difficulty swallowing which can lead to severe malnutrition. She will starve to death then. Hillary could/or already is incontinent but she sure has not come to the point where she has lost the ability or will to speak yet. She just won't shut up. I hope she gets arrested before Kuru kills her or she suicides first.
I guess we just watch and see if she starts getting skinny. Towards the end of the terminal stage Hillary could develop chronic ulcerated wounds that can be easily infected. If so, she could die within three months to two years after the first terminal stage symptoms, often because of pneumonia or infection. Remember that picture of that sore in her mouth? Has the clock been ticking all along?
