And then my last thing is, you also have the experience of— because you started it— is basically starting a support group. Right. So you just tell us about that because I I think there's interest in the fact that vaccine injured in Canada have to band together and support themselves.
Dianne Spaulding · 6:36:59
Yeah. So, so I guess it was in about— it was probably in 2022 that I created— actually, I created a Canadian Facebook support group. There were other ones before me, and I actually, you know, being Being rejected by the healthcare system, I was desperate to, you know, figure out what was wrong with me. And I went on social media and I actually found so many injured just like me, same symptoms. A lot of us took the— in Canada anyway, took the AstraZeneca in April of 2021, and the lot numbers were the same, and we all have the same symptoms. That AstraZeneca vaccine was pulled a week later from the market.
Dianne Spaulding · 6:37:59
So there's an elephant in the room there. Um, but anyway, so I found a lot of injured people just like me We became a family, and we spoke every day to each other, and we confided in each other, and we cried, and we, you know, just tried to find, you know, treatments. You know, we were doing— we had drawers and drawers full of every natural supplement you can think of. When Dr. McCullough was talking about Brolane and natto. And we had all that to cure, you know, turmeric. We had drawers of this stuff. The problem was, is we didn't know how much to take when we were taking it. We didn't know how long to take it for. We had nobody following up and doing blood work for us.
Dianne Spaulding · 6:38:59
So we'd start taking all these health, you know, all these supplements and everything, and now what, you know? So half the time we would start taking them and then we just throw them back in the drawer. Um, I do have to say that once I found Silent Survivors— that's, that's one of the Canadian groups, and, um, Dallas, she's the one that heads it— and, um, she told me about a doctor or she gave me information on where I could find this doctor in Toronto. And, um, I reached out to him and he got me on ivermectin. And I believe he saved my life. I believe he saved my life because I could not get out of bed. Oh, my tremors were really bad. And once I got on that ivermectin, my tremors went away.
Dianne Spaulding · 6:40:03
Um, most of my symptoms started to go away after I took the ivermectin. Um, unfortunately, he couldn't follow up with me anymore because then he, he, um, the college was investigating him. So Yeah. Um, yeah, so by the time I started to feel, um, better, I mean, other than this, this fog in my head, and I have to constantly pace myself, like, tomorrow I am going to be in bed after this. Yeah, because I still get the fatigue. I can't, I can't go to a job. I can't, I can't do anything on my feet. For more than 4 hours, and then that's it for me, and then I'm on the couch, you know. Like, I want to be able to play with my grandkids, you know. Um, and, and I— my, my father, you know, I really wanted to be able to spend a lot of time with my dad.
Dianne Spaulding · 6:41:09
And, um, so in the fall Around Christmas, well, just before Christmas, I was just starting to feel a little bit better and, you know, to be able to drive out and see my dad. Well, not me drive, but I wasn't driving at that time. Um, but going to see my dad and he started just not feeling very good. He said, he said to me, you know, I've got this awful backache. And that was probably in December. In January, he went to the hospital and he was full of cancer.
Myriam Bohémier · 6:41:37
He died February We're out of time. So sorry, sorry to hear that about your dad. So we have to move on to the next witness now, just time-wise. Um, thank you so much for coming. I know that, um, you've been in touch with me and you were excited about coming, and we're excited to have you. And, um, I know you've voiced, um, What difference is this going to make or what's going to happen? None of us know that. None of us know. But I think we all know we've been changed by hearing stories like yours.
Dean Allison · 6:42:14
And Dianne Spaulding, I also want to thank you for coming.
Dianne Spaulding · 6:42:16
Thank you. I just wanted to say one more little thing that, you know, like just for all the medical establishment, you know, try to have some compassion. Compassion is, you know, the backbone. You know, you can't acknowledge suffering. And it's just—.
Myriam Bohémier · 6:42:33
