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.
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.

I find it odd that common exposures, aside from environmental ones, are absent from the conversations. I haven't heard one mention of common foods, common personal products like toothpaste, or common medical procedures/conditions, such as strep throat or vaccines.
That, in and of itself, is very suspect to me. Why on earth isn't one reporter asking about something other than the air quality?
Because of network censors? Me thinks some industry would have to cue up to lose hundreds of millions were the truth to ever see the light of day. Mass hysteria this is not.

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.
