Desiree Jennings, Rashid Buttar, dystonia – hoax? February 4th, 2010
Excerpt:
Her story created a national uproar. Desiree Jennings, an ambassador for the Washington Redskins cheerleading squad, claimed she developed a rare neurological disorder called dystonia after receiving a seasonal flu shot, causing dramatic spasms and slurred speech.
What made the story so startling is that her symptoms seemed to disappear when she walked backwards or ran.
Back in October 2009, Jennings and her husband told INSIDE EDITION’s Les Trent they worried they’d never find a cure. But INSIDE EDITION cameras found her walking normally, playing with her dogs, going shopping, even getting behind the wheel of a car and driving!
. . .
And something else that surprised INSIDE EDITION producers? Jennings is now speaking with a foreign accent she never had before.
“I’m from Ohio. I should not be talking like this,” she told Trent.
“It sounds like you have an Australian accent,” Trent observed.
“Yeah, I’ve heard Australian, British, but it essentially comes down to the inability to pronounce words,” she explained.“There’s no way a flu shot can cause someone’s accent to change. Absolutely not,” Dr. Novella says.
So how does Jennings explain her recovery? She credited a doctor, an alternative practitioner named Rashid Buttar. He claims he reversed many of her symptoms in less than 48 hours using controversial therapies, including a hyperbaric chamber and intravenous injections of nutrients and synthetic amino acids.
