FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Twenty teen girls from Le Roy Junior-Senior High School in New York are largely cured of twitching and are expected to graduate Sunday, Reuters reported. Doctors attributed the involuntary twitching to “conversion disorder,” a mass psychogenic illness.
What Happened
In the fall, girls in Le Roy, N.Y., fell prey to involuntary twitching, the New York Times reported. Before long, there were 18 girls, one boy and a 36-year-old woman who jerked and made odd noises, seemingly uncontrollably.
Experts Called
The Times said doctors diagnosed one girl with an anxiety attack and one had Tourette’s, which might have leant credibility to the group display of symptoms. As the problem grew, so too did the speculation as to the cause. Before the problem was resolved, experts had checked the air, water and soil. Some residents worried about a cancer cluster link and Erin Brockovich was summoned. Experts found no toxins responsible for the outbreak. They said the girls suffered conversion disorder, turning stress into physical symptoms. As publicity increased, symptoms worsened and more cases arose.
Conversion Disorder Described
Drs. Joshua L. Roffman and Theodore A. Stern described conversion disorder in an article published in the Primary Care Companion to the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry. They said the disorder is characterized by a sudden loss or change in physical function with symptoms that typically mimic neurological disorders. The involuntary symptoms result from a conversion of psychological stresses into physical manifestations, they said. Treating the underlying psychological stressors is essential to eliminating symptoms, the doctors said.
Controversial Cure
Doctors treating the Le Roy teens noticed that staying away from the publicity was influential in finding cures, Reuters said. They concluded social and mainstream media attention were responsible for worsening symptoms. Avoiding the spotlight seemed to help patients get better, the doctors said.
Conversion Disorder History
Some historians believe conversion disorder led to the Salem, Mass., witchcraft hysteria of 1692, the Huffington Post recounted. It described a less deadly outbreak of conversion order in 1944 when Illinois residents claimed they were being anesthetized by a stranger. In 1954, Bellingham, Wash., residents were gripped by irrational fears of nuclear tests, cosmic rays, changes in the Earth’s magnetic fields or vandals inflicting damage on their cars. In 2008, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on an alleged outbreak of Morgellons in Northern California. Dozens of people claimed to be suffering from sores, crawling skin sensations and mysteriously appearing fibers. The CDC ruled out physical causes and concluded the symptoms suggested delusional infestation.
