| | Mad Cow Disease - What the Government Isn't Telling You - by Dr. Lorraine Day, M.D. |
| | The habits and practices of men have brought the earth into such a condition that some other food than animal food must be substituted for the human family. | | | The testimony of examiners is that very few animals are free from disease, and that the practice of eating largely of meat is contracting diseases of all kinds, -- cancers, tumors, tuberculosis and numbers of other like affections." (1897) | | | Prions are much more likely to be the "RESULT" of a sick and dying body. |

| | From this research, any prudent person would conclude there is a significant risk attaching to the use of organophosphate in humans. | | | Other researchers work shows that prions in the bovine spine -- along which insecticides are applied -- can be damaged by ICI's Phosmet organophosphate(OP) insecticide -causing the disease. | | | Indeed no substantive alternative research has been done. |

| | MAD COW DISEASE: THE BSE EPIDEMIC IN GREAT BRITAIN |
| | What is BSE and what is its relation to scrapie in sheep and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans? | | | All this would seem to represent years of research. | | | Recently, as the power of molecular biology has been applied to the spongiform encephalopathies, it has become clear that each disease (scrapie, BSE, and others in animals, and CJD, kuru and Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker disease in humans) is caused by a distinct variant prion. |

| | But when humans or animals take in too much of it - especially if that coincides with a lack of copper in the body - things can go badly wrong with the brain. | | | Try to keep your questions and/or comments as concise as possible. | | | But I am also very angry at the way these chemicals are permitted to be unleashed into the food chain without any long-term concerns and I am also angry at the way that the responsible bodies have no concern for these long-term repercussions on our health. |

| | Neither human nor bovine infections have been documented, but the long incubation of TSEs and their mysterious habits are still causing concern. | | | There is no treatment and both diseases are uniformly fatal. | | | Mad cow disease is one of several fatal brain diseases called transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, or TSEs. |

| | It destroys the brain, causing the animal to stumble and behave erratically, hence the common name for the condition. | | | But some recent studies show that prions, the infectious agents believed responsible for mad-cow disease, are present in muscle tissue of infected mice, suggesting that muscle meat may not be completely free from risk. | | | But even if it has, officials say there's very little chance anyone has contracted the disease because the cow's brain, spinal cord and other organs where the infection concentrates were removed at the slaughterhouse, which hasn't been identified. |

| | As life expectancy increases, the incidence of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) also is growing. | | | This paper will specifically examine the likelihood that sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) may be misdiagnosed as Alzheimer’s. | | | Because there is such a high incidence of AD in the U.S., the question may be asked whether there are other neurodegenerative diseases with some symptoms similar to AD that might be misdiagnosed as Alzheimer’s. |
