The "Today Show" told the story, yesterday, of 12 girls in a highschool in upstate NY, near Rochester, that have developed Tourette-like symptoms... uncontrollable tics and verbal outbursts. Two girls were on the show with their mothers...one was very affected and symptomatic, while the other was improving.

Today I read that because no other cause has been found, a neurologist says he has the answer, calling his diagnosis as "mass hysteria" or "conversion disorder"...emotionally triggered. While checking out other articles about this case, I read about Gardasil and Cervarix...these vaccines are supposed to protect girls and young women against HPV, the virus linked to cervical cancer, and they're encourged to get it. Interestingly enough, these vaccines contain large amounts of aluminum which is a neurotoxin that affects the brain and can cause an extensive list of symptoms...tourette-like manifestations among them. I wonder, if one of these vaccines is found to be the cause, is there a way to reverse the symptoms?

The male medical profession, I've found, likes to label women as "emotional" and can, therefore, overlook the real cause of an illness...I've seen it happen too many times, resulting in terrible suffering. I hope to learn that this mystery is solved and that the girls make full recoveries.
