School Teacher Left Paralyzed By Deadly Illness | Diagnosis: Unknown | Real Responders

[@laurastabell2489]

Nurses started refusing to intubate patients with teflon medical tubing and they lived. Intubated patients died so quickly they stacked the bodies in the hallways. That was during " covid" . Turns out it was teflon poisoning causing "immune hyperreactivity"- cytokine storms in response to disease. Teflon makes people "allergic" to having a disease. C6, a form of teflon, builds up in the lungs causing that inflammation response to occur more in the lungs. Add more teflon -the thing thats poisoning them in the first place and it causes more wide spread inflammation. That can rise quickly to the point of circulatory collapse and shock- then death.

I've been sick my whole life. I find it odd how healthy people react to an acute onset of illness. These shows helped me understand I'm the odd one. It took 27yrs to get my first diagnosis, 35yrs to get the diagnosis of a rare disease. Im now 58yrs old in pallitive care. My stepson just moved in with me because I keep falling.

I'd say to her Ex husband ...how's that new life you living Jim 🤷‍♀️lol .....I'm so glad that she was okay and they figured it out and I'm even happier that she moved on and found a REAL Man (Husband) who will love her and respect her like she deserves God Bless you and your family ....

[@gingerstoudt6978]

Thank God for the Gynecologist! When the heavy metal test came back negative, it would have been so beneficial to test her hair then. Jim is awful and manipulative. I'm glad the nurse heard Jim's conversation.

[@kinglinus3708]

Thats so sad her husband did that too her.

[@Kitten-f5q]

Poor woman and the two children. Must of affected them badly

[@marilynellis5658]

God Bless this nurse who overheard her husband talking to another woman all sweet on the telephone and told what she heard to the Doctor. This nurse saved this teacher's life. God Bless her.🙏🌹💕🎉

[@laurieberry4814]

A very dedicated teacher.

Yes, poisoning testing should be an SOP if doctors isnt sure or no diagnosis

[@msprettykawaii950]

The moment she had swollen legs she would have gone to hospital

[@cochiefemeralds3616]

I remember this from my childhood

[@TheNewMailLady]

I know I can’t be alone in saying that this was one of the most frustrating episodes I’ve ever watched. The amount of times it was crystal clear to me that she was being poisoned was insane. They just couldn’t figure it out?? Really?

[@missmaggie2620]

This poor woman and the absolute sheer hell that she went in and out of and with the most horrific medical conditions & each got worse. After the 1st time, she goes home, in high hopes...then back again & home again in high hopes...seizures, hysterectomy, going home feeling better, finally! The absolute physical trauma & not to mention the emotional trauma. The nurse deserves an award from the hospital & the police. Donna is not a survivor, but an absolute warrior. The absolute betrayal for years.

[@Rhianalanthula]

I was glad they explained why they suggested going to see a gynaecologist. It would have seemed odd otherwise.

[@johannahoneyman697]

So she thought it was the flu but she went to work anyway. Not cool 😡

[@lindavanocker1841]

Was just going to say the same thing. Something smells fishy about the story. Who goes to school to teach when you think you have the flu ?? Pretty stupid !

[@connieburns4837]

That’s what I was thinking too!

[@g.borgia5100]

This was filmed a long time ago, before people started staying home for a cold or the flu. Also she thought she had a four but ess not diagnosed with the flu

[@Rhianalanthula]

Also, sick pay. This is the US where time off for illness or holidays (vacations) is frowned on.

[@fordfamily7]

glad she made it to tell the tale. ive seen so many husbands get small sentences glad he got put away for as long as he did.

[@mindyspencer7637]

Drs throw everything relating to digestive that they can't diagnose into IBS

[@muhammadalieesaa3379]

So Jim did all that because he was seeing other women, well being that he's been arrested he hasn't just lost his wife but lost all his women because he has no access to them now since he's been locked away.

I'm no doctor ....but why would an ovarian cyst cause seizures and numbness in the hands and feet

[@sperrinwell-beingandyoga9224]

A big ovarian cyst could cause nerve entrapment.

@@KMx108 I forget what was said in the video about damage to the brain, but my opinion (do bear in mind that I am an uneducated person) is that any disease that damages nerves could cause damage to the brain. We could ask that Huberman fellow!

How can this not being treated as poisening right from the start. I mean....wow. Just wow.

[@Gangstgma]

There needs to be more emphasis on the art of diagnosis in medical school. I had an old time doctor (Dr. LEGER) who was so skilled at diagnosing illnesses that people came from all over to see him. One example was a man slowing going blind. His doctors said it was some degenerative disease. Dr. Leger concluded it was a vitamin K deficiency - it was. The man was able to regain 80% of his vision back and not lose any vision again. I also had an old vet like this. To me they shared the ability to listen take their time, think,observe research. They were also very smart and people-oriented.

[@mayraidrovo8208]

That’s so evil. To plan and to witness the excruciating pain she went through.

[@jjbryan11]

Did they really put a tongue depressor in her mouth as she was seizing?!?!?!

[@Ariadne76-k3d]

Probably to keep her from choking on her tongue .

[@dressagerider31]

Just started watching, but I watch a lot of crime shows and think that agonizing stomach pain and numbness to her legs plus the comments about the husband makes me suspicious of husband makes me think of poisoning, i.e. arsenic etcw

[@RobinBrunetti]

I figured arsenic from the first symptom, only because it seems to be a common theme on these shows.

[@connieburns4837]

That was my first thought.

[@Rhianalanthula]

Yep. Just found the channel, and this is the third out of four that have been spousal poisoning (2 arsenic, 1 thallium). The other episode was about Dr. Harold Shipman. Having lived through the news about Shipman and watched more recent documentaries about him, it was really odd to see them changing the victims' names and inflating the number of suspected victims. A report from a fellow inmate stated Shipman had confessed to him the number of victims. This was found to be false.

[@fran-gx3kf]

I thought "what a kind, thoughtful, caring husband" until the jello incident when i thought "why can't his son have some of the jello as there's enough for all of them?". Testing hair for arsenic poisoning sounds simple but i wonder if it's an expensive process as doctors should have requested hair sample anyway during the first poisoning test.

[@LunaStarlight35]

Me who called it at the very beginning. I knew she was poisoned. And then it was evident when he basically told his son that it wasn't for him, making sure that his son didn't get sick.
