  Seeds oils and having the Seed Oil Scout app would have been the least of Jack's problems.

  Most health issues of any President in the 20th century (non polio division).

  Scarlet fever almost killed him as a baby. Could have used some of those antibiotics that Big Pharma hadn't invented yet.

  FDR was never shown in his wheel chair and JFK was presented as a touch football playing dude who also liked to golf and sail. TITTT

  Like Tiger, Jack probably had the good stuff for his back pain. And unlike Tiger, someone to drive him

  The interwebs are saying the CIA knocked off JFK because he was on methamphetamines and wasn't capable of running the country. Therefore needed to be eliminated.

  Take it to the OBK forum.

  Treating John F. Kennedy

  [edit]

  In September 1960, then-Senator John F. Kennedy first visited Jacobson shortly before the 1960 presidential election debates.[10][11] Jacobson was part of the presidential entourage at the Vienna summit in 1961, where he administered injections to combat severe back pain. Some of the potential side effects included hyperactivity, impaired judgment, nervousness, and wild mood swings. Kennedy, however, was untroubled by Food and Drug Administration reports on the contents of Jacobson’s injections, and proclaimed: “I don’t care if it’s horse piss. It works.”[12] Jacobson was used for the most severe bouts of back pain.[13] By May 1962, Jacobson had visited the White House to treat the president thirty-four times,[14][15] although such treatments were stopped by President Kennedy's White House physicians, who realized the inappropriate use of steroids and amphetamines administered by Jacobson.[16] It was later observed that President Kennedy's leadership, specifically during the Cuban Missile Crisis and other events during 1963, improved once Jacobson's treatments were discontinued and replaced by a medically appropriate regimen. Dr. Nassir Ghaemi, who studied Kennedy's medical records, concluded there was a "correlation; it is not causation; but it may not be coincidence either."[16]
