Doctors investigate mystery brain disease in Canada
BBC News, Toronto ^ | Jessica Murphy

Radio-Canada, the public broadcaster, obtained a copy of a public health memo that had been sent to the province's medical professionals warning of a cluster of patients exhibiting an unknown degenerative brain disease.

The province says it's currently tracking 48 cases, evenly split between men and women, in ages ranging from 18 to 85. Those patients are from the Acadian Peninsula and Moncton areas of New Brunswick. Six people are believed to have died from the illness.

Most patients began experiencing symptoms recently, from 2018 on, though one is believed to have had them as early as 2013.

Dr Marrero says the symptoms are wide ranging and can vary among patients.

At first, there can be behavioural changes like anxiety, depression and irritability, along with unexplained pain, muscle aches and spasms in previously healthy individuals.

Frequently, patients develop difficulties sleeping - severe insomnia or hypersomnia - and memory problems. There can be fast-advancing language impairments that make it difficult to communicate and hold a fluent conversation - issues like stuttering or word repetition.

Another symptom is rapid weight loss and muscle atrophy, as well as visual disturbances and co-ordination problems, and involuntary muscle twitching. Many patients need the assistance of walkers or wheelchairs.

Some develop disturbing hallucinatory dreams, or waking auditory hallucinations.

Several patients have presented with transient "Capgras delusion", a psychiatric disorder in which a person believes someone close to them has been replaced by an impostor.

For now, the theory is that the disease is acquired, not genetic.

"Our first common idea is that there's a toxic element acquired in the environment of this patient that triggers the degenerative changes,"

"What happens if/when we are using aborted babies and placing them in human vaccines, medicines, etc.?"

Good thing that isn't ever done. Fetal stem cells are sometimes used in the research and development process or in the testing process. The stem cell lines are most often from either they kidneys or livers. They aren't used in any products because there's no purpose for them to be there. They're used because they multiply rapidly and indefinitely and are a perfect model for human cell behavior as it relates to cellular entry, viral replication, and other processes.

Further, there are more companies moving away from using fetal stem cells at any stage of the process, which is fantastic news. Pfizer, Moderna, and Novavax did all their internal R&D and testing for their COVID-19 vaccines without using fetal stem cells. J&J did use fetal stem cells for their R&D and testing with their COVID-19 vaccine, but again, not in the actual product that's put into people, because there's no reason or point to put them it in there.

That won’t matter; all bad things that have ever happened to anyone or will ever happen to anyone are because of the COVID-19 vaccines. No one ever got sick before the COVID-19 vaccines. No one ever died before the COVID-19 vaccines. We were all living in the Garden of Eden until somebody made a COVID vaccine.

Interesting. Perhaps this condition explains my strange recurring feeling that half of the Freepers are Body Snatchers trying to force me and my family to take an experimental vaccine

So far, only two general locations.

I would think that qualifies as ‘clustering.’

Perhaps but that is where they are looking for it.

I wonder if they expanded their circle they would find more.

Probably.

Maybe Ergotism? Back in the Middle Ages, people got sick and had mental illnesses which were caused by consuming rye bread that had been infected by Claviceps purpurea fungus.

Or mad cow disease.

not that they're a spike that tears holes in things.

My comment did not use the word 'rip' - that is your fantasy. The spikes from COVID replication get into capillaries and smaller blood vessels and secure themselves to a cell in the wall of the blood vessel. When it's replication is exhausted, the viron 'dies' and leaves a hole in the blood vessel wall. This could be in a liver, or a bone, or an eye, ... causing any number of seeming unrelated symptoms. That's why I'm part of the control group of this experiment.

You want to listen to something REALLY freaky?

Search on YouTube for a video that says “The Posts of John Titor”

He claimed to be a time traveler from the year 2036. He talked about a coming civil war, the ‘enemy’ would be the government-run big cities, CJ disease, and world war. All the things sound exactly like what is happening now.

These were recorded in the year 1999 and 2000.

Moderna and Phizer come with only so many spiker replications.

The JnJ/Astra send the blueprints in riding on a (in a) adenovirus to invade cells and take up residency. God help those folks if the viri there change. What could possibly go wrong, go wrong, go wrong...

That's paranoia but what is real is that we would like you to post smaller pictures.......

They have a brain disease, all right. It’s caused by years of socialism and dependence on government for money and for guidance on what to think.

It’s going to get worse, as the full effects of pretty-face Trudeau’s leftist policies are felt.

Right on, more coming out each day. Fact is NO ONE understands Covid, memory loss, clotting, lung brain damage, a whole host of neurological disorders and much more.....same with the experimental MRNA jabs.....celebrated much, much to quickly.....the “gift” becomes a curse....haste makes waste....

The covid vaccines aren’t vaccines, they are gene therapy, and experimental at this stage. They aren’t FDA approved, they are only being used on the public due to an EUA (Emergency Use Authorization). That’s why the quote marks.

Yea, what's one or two murdered human babies, more or less.

I mean, science, right?
