I will confirm she is vaccine injured and I will also serve as a probono expert witness as a Plaintiffs expert if she wants to sue everyone

Poor lady, I have not met anyone who has developed as many symptoms as she has.

I think there are two really valuable things to take from her story:

The first is that the same pathology can often trigger a wide variety of symptoms, and conventional medical training does not teach doctors how to recognize the common threads in a wide variety of disparate symptoms that can all indicate the same condition. Instead, doctors will focus on a few specific symptoms that occur, that link to a disease they are familiar with, and then dismiss all the other symptoms occurring concurrently. Most patients who see integrative medicine practitioners have diseases of this type where conventionally trained doctors are not able to appreciate the meaning behind the symptoms they present with. In certain cases this is harder to spot (for example with Lyme disease or mold toxicity), but the fact that this nurse developed approximately 100 different severe symptoms immediately following vaccination means that linking it to one common diagnostic category unrelated to vaccination is patently absurd.

When I attempted to explain why doctors gaslight patients, two big areas I focused on were why doctors are unable to see medical injuries, and why they intentionally lie to themselves when they are presented with clear evidence the injuries occurred.

This nurses story is much better than any of the examples I used and embodies all the key principles of medical blindness.

For those interested, they are explained here:

Secondly, her story illustrates how difficult it is to get effective medical care for these types of injuries. This is partially because almost any conventional doctor she sees will view her through the lens of the disease a few of her symptoms represent, and therefore they can only prescribe a therapy that partially alleviates some of the symptoms for the duration of therapy (often with other side effects occurring). Similarly, very few people in the integrative or holistic field know how to go outside the boxes they use and likewise can only provide general measures that often partially improve "general wellness" but do not address the underlying condition.

I spent a while looking around the integrative health field for treatments to vaccine injuries, and I have found the majority of practitioners are just using the methods they already use for everything else and applying them to Covid vaccine injuries, which in many cases results in desperate people spending a lot of money for no result. That said, I have found a few physicians who are good at seeing the whole picture and multidisciplinary enough to find an approach that worked, but these doctors are few and far between, and to my knowledge none of the unique solutions they have utilized with success are regularly discussed within the integrative medicine community.

Another way to describe my entire comment is that medicine has a great deal of inertia, and when you have a problem that falls outside the scope of medical practice, you are often left completely on your own because the system is unable to adapt to your circumstances and develop a new approach for it.
