Desiree update: interviewed by Fox affiliate that first aired her story.

Quote:
When Desiree arrived there more than three weeks ago, she was in acute respiratory distress. She could barely breathe, and there were concerns she just wouldn't make it.

"Her face was starting to get that purplish bluish tint because she couldn't get air. Twice I looked at my head nurse like we may need to call EMS," says Dr Buttar.

But 24-48 hours later, Desiree was stable. And when we paid her a visit, she was walking and laughing, and was seemingly on the road to recovery.

"Overall I think my spirits are higher. I definitely feel light-- I have a positive future. Hopefully all of this will get better," says Jennings.

She's no longer having any seizures. She can speak perfectly normal whenever talking about the past or the future but her voice changes whenever she speaks about the time period when she was sick which began in early September.

Dr. Buttar describes it as a hard drive damaged on a computer, but that too, he says, will return.
Dr. Buttar offers a lot of diagnostic detail:

Quote:
Dr. Buttar diagnosed Desiree with essentially a toxic reaction to the flu shot.

"My diagnosis of her is acute viral post immunization ensephalophosphy* and secondary mecury toxicity, which we just established as of this Friday.

When asked if her diagnosis was a result of the flu shot, Dr. Buttar responded, "Absolutely. Without a doubt? Without a doubt."

He says she was showing symptoms from a number of different conditions including dystonic side effects, which is why he says so many doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. Desiree's private neurologist also diagnosed her with a dystonic reaction to the seasonal flu shot. Dr. Buttar treated her in what many traditional doctors might call an untraditional way.

"We took the toxins out of her system, we supported her system, we reduced inflammation and we started treating the injuries by giving her certain nutrients that the brain needed to help repair the neuroreceptors," says Buttar.

Those treatments included, among other things, time in a hyperbaric chamber and dozens of IV treatments containing synthetic amino acids and nutrients. Dr. Buttar believes with rest and continued treatment, Desiree will fully recover.
* He probably said "encephalopathy", but the writer of this article is a moron.

VAERS describes acute encephalopathy as
Quote:
For adults and children 18 months of age or older, an acute encephalopathy is one that persists for at least 24 hours and is characterized by at least two of the following:
  • A significant change in mental status that is not medication related: specifically a confusional state, or a delirium, or a psychosis;
  • A significantly decreased level of consciousness, which is independent of a seizure and cannot be attributed to the effects of medication; and
  • A seizure associated with loss of consciousness.
VAERS is not interested unless your condition is chronic, lasting six months (48 hours is RIGHT OUT):

Quote:
For purposes of the Reportable Events Table, a vaccine recipient shall be considered to have suffered an encephalopathy only if such recipient manifests, within the applicable period, an injury meeting the description below of an acute encephalopathy, and then a chronic encephalopathy persists in such person for more than 6 months beyond the date of vaccination.
tl;dr: Desiree was turning purple but was much better after 24-48 hours of alternative medicine treatment and almost completely cured in two weeks. Typical acute encephalopathy patients recover in a matter of six months.
