Pseudo-seizures can look very frightening to lay people, but to someone who is experienced, they are usually quite obvious. There tends to be a generalized and random thrashing and rolling around, rather than tonic-clonic jerks. Patients are typically able to understand and follow commands in the middle of a “seizure”, which is impossible in a true seizure. They typically exhibit self-protective behaviours, which again is not found in true seizures. They usually have full recall of everything that happened around them during the “seizure”, which is again not typical of true seizures.

i guess that there is plenty of pickings for not only medical quacks, but also the paranormal peeps who like to pretend that they’re excorcists and whatnot.

On 20/20: There was ‘some Doctor’ consulted on 20/20 for the woman, and he used hodgpodge pseudoscience and said it was ‘psychogenic’ as the problem. This is the ‘real doctor’ who is making up for the ‘fake doctors’. First of all, he has to know how the pathogen (somehow from the vaccine) altered specifics at the cell level in the brain, specifically what’s causing what. Huntington’s disease is a clumpy protein which gets in the way of microtubules in dopaminergic cells in the dorsal striatum – it’s actually a protein. It’s ‘clumpy’ because of a nucleotide error, which affects the structure of the protein, leading to the messing up (somehow) of the cell highways (microtubules) in the cell universe (nerve cells).. leading to the nerve cell’s collapse (it’s believed), leading to loss of basal activity in at the circuit level in the primary motor pathway, leading to spontaneous action potentials going thru the whatever the destination is. Try that level of explanation (molecular, intracellular, to circuit, to systems) to the explaination this doctor gave – he says ‘psychogenic’ – is what explains her curious symptoms.

I don’t believe the ‘skeptic’ authority with the m.d. line offered any incite into Nature, nor has any desire whatever to delve into the root cause of the mystery of the pathogen and how this broiught on Desiree’s behaviors.

I am a firm believe that people who use the authority of their position, especially of medicine, will have to remain in purgatory for 1 extra day for each time they use it on shady grounds.

I do believe the psychogenic suggestion is frowned on by god, and worthy of hellfire.

I’ve been stuttering a lot again lately (which I hadn’t done in years) – I wonder if it’s because my neighbor got the flu shot. Then again it could just be that lack of sleep thing …
