Three new cases in LeRoy, including boy

www.wivb.com

The New York State Department of Health has confirmed with News 4 that at least three new suspected cases of Conversion Disorder have been reported in LeRoy. These patients are showing the same symptoms presented by 12 others, who are already confirmed to have the disorder.

The State Department of Health reports each of the three new cases are being evaluated by private doctors, who will then share their findings with the state. As we've reported, two girls in the Albany say they too have symptoms of Conversion Disorder - twitching, convulsions and joint pain - similar to what the LeRoy patients are facing.

Conversion disorder is better known as "hysteria" and in this case I think we can call it "mass hysteria."

The spread of this disorder is frightening. The fact that no cause, as of yet, can be found makes this even more frightening. I lived in Buffalo, NY for 10 years, so this hits pretty close to home.

So Erin Brockovich is sending a team to investigate the area and the environment. But so far authorities don't seem to think there is any connection to the environment with these cases. I am curious though, have any other cases of mass hysteria popped up like this recently or in the past? If so was a cause ever determined? I have only heard of such events in movies and books.

I wish I had more to say about this, but I am as puzzled as most of those people are.

I wasn't aware of that! Thank you for the lesson [Dr. House adds guardasil back on the eraser board]

Until we know what the link is between these children, this will be only speculation. I do NOT buy the "conversion disorder" baloney. Doctors and scientists are always so quick to assume that something is psychological in nature because they cannot discern a physical cause. Blame it on the victim.

Have they all gotten the gardisil shot? Boys have been pushed to get it now as well, so Merck can expand it's customer base.

For all we know, it is another biological experiment, which may have been done at a school. Impossible you say?

According to the Scotts’ report, this pathogen was tested during the summer of 1984 at Tahoe-Truckee High School in California via the air duct system. Individual rooms were fitted with an independent recycling air supply system and the teacher’s lounge was designated as the infection target. Within months, seven of eight teachers assigned to this room became very ill. Tahoe-Truckee High School was only one of several locations where the specially designed pathogens were tested. Some pathogens were distributed by aerosol sprays and others were spread through contaminated mosquitoes. The Scotts reported that, during the 1980s, one hundred million mosquitoes a month were bred at the Dominion Parasite Laboratory in Belleville, Ontario. From there, the mosquitoes were tested by both Canadian and U.S. military authorities after being infected with brucellosis. Some observers believe the 1999 outbreak of human encephalitis in New York City due to what was designated West Nile virus may have been the result of these infected mosquitoes.

Finally, I think we are all familiar with the 1969 closed-door Defense Appropriation Hearings in the U.S. Senate. Dr. MacArthur stood up at that time and said "We can take 24 years of biological warfare research, use our 76 biowarfare labs in operation, add ten million dollars on top of the 31 million dollars going into this nefarious warfare research this year, and come up with the ultimate stealth weapon, a synthetic bioagent for which no natural immunity could have been acquired." And in fact, Appropriation 1509 did develop these incapacitating agents: air delivered aerosols meant to infect people by breathing them. They were intended not to be contagious and were tested on students at the Tahoe-Truckee High School in California. Seven out of eight of those victims developed chronic fatigue.

Something to think about.

I'm not certain that nobody knows. Someone knows - it would just cost too much to tell anyone.

I'd like to know what blood panels and scans have been done with these kids. Something must be irregular. Nothing about this makes sense. But maybe we'll get lucky and one of Obama's daughters will contract it - then we will ALL find out exactly what did this.

It's funny, but back in the day, "conversion disorder" was considered a discriminatory diagnosis as it was reserved for women with an issue that was "all in her head". The hallmark of a dismissive male physician, if you will.

Now that there is confirmed case of a boy with this disorder, I think I have come up with my own conclusion, and you folks can take it for what its worth. Seeing that Le Roy Central School District is quite small, with only 1,320 enrolled students PK-12th grade and two schools, I would imagine that there isn't much to do for fun for those kids. My guess is that these now 15 kids were habitual Spice users, which is a legal synthetic cannabis that can be purchased in gas stations, and has been proven to cause users to develop psychosis like symptoms during withdrawals.

Good theory...in fact a very good one. Except I have lived in Buffalo for 10 years, and so far as I know the stuff is illegal to sell in NY. Could possibly bath salts, but wouldn't this have shown up in a toxicology report in both cases?

EDIT: ADD: Correction: It is to banned if it hasn't passed already: www.k2info.org... My point is, I have never seen the stuff sold in any gas station near Buffalo. Now i have seen Salvia sold at smoke shops before.

I live 60 miles north of NYC in Sullivan Co and you can find the stuff at every other gas station up and down the road. The kids could've purchased it online.

There was a little more info about it on HLN tonight... seems there are 3 gas wells on the school ground, and fracking was mentioned as something that is being looked at.
