Hmm interesting...throughout this thread I was saying how it must be in her psyche and not related to the vaccine. Well it looks like she is cured! How true this entire article is is questionable, but she seems to be fine.

Summary:
"You remember Desiree Jennings? She's the young woman who received a
seasonal flu vaccine in August and later developed what is being
represented as dystonia but is almost certainly not. The other day, her
VAERS database report was found, which casts even more doubt on her
story, given that the neurologist who examined her when she presented
concluded that there was a strong psychogenic component to whatever it
was that was wrong with her. What has been brought to my attention is
that, after promoting Jennings as evidence that the flu vaccine is
harmful, deleting its page asking for donations for her, and then
deciding to support her again, it looks as though Generation Rescue is
going full mental jacket in supporting her again. Indeed, it looks as
though GR has hooked Jennings up with a character I've discussed
numerous times on this blog. More on that later. In the meantime, check
out her website, where she tells her story and touting her "cure"
[...]
Detox. It had to be detox. Because, you know, the horrific "toxins" in
the flu vaccine so damaged Jennings' central nervous system that she
exhibited a set of symptoms that don't fit with any known disease or
condition. Moreover, the story has morphed from Jennings merely being
unable to speak and having all these jerky movements to having seizures
every minute and having her breathing stop two or three times a minute.
Enter Dr. "urine injections R US" Buttar with one of his--what
else?--chelation and "detoxification" regimens, and suddenly she's all
well again! Or so says Dr. Rashid Buttar in an interview on a "health
freedom" radio show by Robert Scott Bell. Or, at least, so says a happy
Desiree Jennings:
[...]
Unfortunately, suffering or not, psychogenic dystonia or true dystonia,
this unfortunate young woman is being used by the anti-vaccine
movement, and it sickens me.I hadn't realized just how cynical the
anti-vaccine movement would be. Even in my wildest imaginings, I
wouldn't have predicted that they'd have chosen Dr. Rashid Buttar as
the woo-meister who would "cure" Jennings. After all, he's the same guy
who has promoted, among other quackery, urine injections. He's the same
guy who has charged cancer patients obscene amounts of money for his
quackery and made unbelievable promises. Now that's chutzpah!

However, now Jennings herself, and Dr. Buttar, report that Jennings
began to improve while still sitting in the chair and receiving her
chelation therapy, and within 36 hours her symptoms were completely
gone. First, let me say that I am very happy Ms. Jennings' symptoms
have resolved. Hopefully now she can just go on with her life. But to
me, this impossibly rapid recovery is a dramatic confirmation that her
symptoms were psychogenic to begin with. It is simply implausible that
brain injury from mercury toxicity could be reversed so quickly -
especially when you consider that Dr. Buttar had Jennings at death's
door."
