(Natural News)—A new systematic review suggests Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination could trigger a rare neurological disorder that primarily affects the nerves outside the central nervous system, causing pain, muscle atrophy and, in some cases, paralysis.
In a March 14 paper published in the medical journal Vaccines, researchers found that Parsonage-Turner Syndrome (PTS) may occur after injection of all COVID-19 vaccine types and can recur with additional doses of similar or unrelated vaccines.
PTS, or neuralgic amyotrophy, is a disorder affecting the peripheral nervous system characterized by the rapid onset of severe pain followed by significant muscular atrophy. It primarily affects the skull, shoulder, upper limbs, and the chest wall on one side of the body. According to the National Organization for Rare Disorders, PTS affects the brachial plexus, a network of nerves that controls movement and sensation in the shoulders and arms. In some instances, nerves in the legs can also be involved.
People who experience PTS usually have intense, constant pain that worsens with movement and can last anywhere from a few hours to several weeks. Some people may experience symptoms for a year or longer, and most recover within two years. As the pain subsides, it is usually replaced by progressive weakness or paralysis. The individual may also experience muscle atrophy, absent or reduced reflexes or a loss of sensation.
The exact cause of PTS is unknown but the study suggests at least 50 percent of PTS attacks are brought on by a triggering event such as an infection, medical procedure, excessive physical activity or vaccination. Although some individuals recover without treatment, others experience recurrent episodes.
To determine whether a relationship exists between COVID-19 vaccines and the development of PTS, researchers searched LitCOVID – a system for tracking literature regarding COVID-19 – and the World Health Organization’s COVID-19 databases for published material up through Jan. 25.
This scouring of the databases found 59 reported cases of PTS following COVID-19 vaccination. Of those 59 cases, 36 patients received an mRNA vaccine, and 18 patients received a viral vector vaccine.
Of those 36 patients who received an mRNA vaccine, 24 received Pfizer and 10 received Moderna. Of the 18 patients who received a viral vector vaccine, 15 received AstraZeneca and two received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Five patients received an unknown vaccine type.
After performing a causality assessment, researchers found 32 cases were “possibly caused by vaccination” – 22 cases after mRNA vaccination, seven cases after viral vector vaccination, and three cases where the vaccine was unknown.
Patients developed PTS symptoms within two weeks of vaccination
According to the study, most PTS patients developed neurologic symptoms within 14 days of vaccination, regardless of the vaccine type, and primarily had symptoms on one side of the body—the side that received the injection. PTS occurred more often in males regardless of vaccine type and was more prevalent in patients between the ages of 41 and 50 years compared with older patients.

Among patients who received an mRNA vaccine, 15 developed PTS after the first dose and 16 developed the condition after the second dose. One patient first developed neurological symptoms after receiving an mRNA booster shot, and another presented with PTS after receiving a fourth vaccine dose – the first three of which were Pfizer vaccines and the fourth Moderna. In three cases, the type of vaccine wasn’t specified.
Six patients who received a viral vector vaccine developed PTS after the first dose and three developed PTS after the second dose. In nine patients with PTS, the previous vaccination details were unknown.
Only one patient in the mRNA vaccine group who developed PTS previously had COVID-19, and none of the patients in the viral vector group had COVID-19, so the PTS symptoms could not be attributed to SARS-CoV-2 infection. More than half of the patients in both vaccine groups reported no other comorbidities.
Within two weeks of developing pain, patients experienced motor deficits, amyotrophy – severe aching or burning in the hips and thighs – weakness and wasting of the muscles in the lower extremities, paresthesia – an abnormal “pins and needles” sensation – and sensory loss.

Those who received viral vector vaccines experienced more nerve involvement outside the brachial plexus. Further tests revealed cerebral spinal fluid albuminocytological dissociation in 33 percent of those who received mRNA vaccines and in 100 percent of those who received viral vector vaccines. This condition is often associated with Guillain-Barre syndrome, another neurological disorder linked to COVID-19 vaccination.
Researchers also found ipsilateral axillary lymphadenopathy, a condition related to the administration of mRNA vaccines in which the lymph nodes in the armpit on the side of the body that received the injection become swollen. Story continues below the advertisement.
According to the study, two cases of PTS worsened after a second mRNA vaccine dose, and another case that had resolved recurred after influenza vaccination. Another patient tolerated a second dose of a viral vector vaccine, while another patient did not and symptoms reemerged.
Outcomes and symptom improvement varied among patients. Twelve percent of patients who received an mRNA vaccine experienced a full recovery, while 25 percent of patients who received a viral vector vaccine completely recovered.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
