soil samples in pretty much the same fashion she did in one of California’s industrial towns, Dr. David Lichter
was working on the girl’s perceived overexposure to Facebook. (Deepak Chopra previously blamed the
internet).
“I think you do have the potential for people going online and witnessing other student behavior. Then I think
this medium has the potential to spread it beyond the immediate environment,” said Lichter back in early
February. Now I don’t know if he really believed this or he just used the outbreak as a chance to discourage kids
activity on social media (an epidemic in itself many feel). Between his theory and the recent test results that
came back negative, Le Roy parents are livid. Lichter recently disclosed to me that he believes 3 of the girls
“started off with organic ticks, the rest were modeling off the others in terms of behavior just by watching the 3;
nothing with train spills, or PANDAS. There were more cases after that in Syracuse or Albany. The President
of the local Terrets Association Sue Conners, and Erin Brockovich were brought in over external concerns.” Dr.
Gail Saltz has a theory similar to Dr. Lichter’s, she told USA Today that the power of suggestion and group-
think can literally will these symptoms into reality. NOTE: A story about an investigation into 12 teenage
girls just 45 miles west of Le Roy, Amherst NY (Buffalo) who claimed they all became ill with neurological
symptoms on October of 2011 (The Le Roy illness was irst discovered on October 16th) by Jessica King is an
error because she confused the locality of the Le Roy High School girls no-doubt with where most of their area
doctors come from.
Brockovichs’ work on the Le Roy soil samples might be seen as more credible than Lichter’s culprit of
overexposure of social media, but probably not to Black/Asian conservative columnist Michelle Malkin, who
berated the movie “Erin Brockovich” and her Chromium 6 inding (without doing any scientiic research of her
own mind you) in spite of the high number of breast cancer, birth defects, nose bleed, immune disorders, and
miscarriages. Conversion Disorder is the new term for Mass Hysteria. There are other cases of it aside from
Le Roy and Amherst where groups of people in a single area undergo the same ailment. Most involve females,
teenagers in particular. The symptoms don’t have to be the same, as Le Roy’s either; theirs could be nausea,
paralysis, or an outright inability to speak.
It also often begins with just one person and spreads to people known to the irst girl, according to an article by
Mike Stobbe. Stobbe’s piece revealed some new commonalities between the Le Roy girls stress. He quotes Dr.
Jennifer McVige a pediatric neurologist from nearby Amherst in Buffalo. McVige concludes that all the kids
had something that happened in their personal or family life like divorcing parents.
