Prion Diseases
Prion diseases are infectious diseases of the brain and occur both in
animals and people.
The disease is given a different name according to the species:
_____________
Humans
CJD (Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease)
GSS (Gerstmann Sträussler Syndrome)Cattle
BSE (Bovine Spongiforme Encephalopathy)
Sheep
Scrapie
Deer / Elk
CWD (Chronic Wasting Disease)
The abbreviation TSE (Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy) is used as a general term.
Prion diseases are transmissible between species and bring about the slow degeneration of the central nervous system, which inevitably leads to death. A very long period of time elapses between infection and the appearance of the first clinical symptoms: typically 2-4 years in sheep, 3-6 years in cattle and more than 10 years in humans. As a general rule, once the symptoms have appeared, the disease leads to death within only a few months.
Alzheimer's And CJD Scientifically Linked
Paul Brown, medical director for the U.S. Public Health Service (Gruzen, 1996), said that the brains of the young people who died from the new CJD variant in Britain even look like Alzheimer's brains (Hager, 1996). Stanley Prusinger, the scientist who coined the term prion, speculates Alzheimer's may in fact turn out to be a prion disease (Prusiner, 1984). More
In his well-written and easy-to-understand book "The Pathological Protein: Mad Cow, Chronic Wasting, and Other Deadly Prion Diseases," Philip Yam paints a different picture. The disease actually hit the minds of the population like a freight train when they realized they were not only in danger, but that they had already taken much of the risk and teenagers were starting to die.

'Mad Cow' Proteins Form In Muscle As Well As Brain
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The abnormal proteins linked to "mad cow" disease and other brain-wasting illnesses can form in muscle much more easily than previously thought, new research suggests.
The accumulation of these proteins, known as prions, has been thought to be concentrated mainly in the central nervous system and lymphatic tissues, but California researchers have demonstrated that high levels of prions can form in muscles throughout the body. More
Mad Cow/CJD - Staggering List Of Products Made From Cattle
In light of the potentially catastrophic spread of Mad Cow/nvCJD prions worldwide (UN WHO statement) throughout the food chain and environment, and my continuing call for completely new, mandatory universal medical/dental sterilization protocols - including the absolute cessation of the reuse of all invasive instruments and equipment - this incredible list will come as quite a surprise to many.

More Deadly Lies - Did USDA Even Test 20,000 Cattle?
WASHINGTON (UPI) -- Although the United States Department of Agriculture insisted the U.S. beef supply is safe Tuesday after announcing the first documented case of mad cow disease in the United States, the agency for six months repeatedly refused to release its tests for mad cow to United Press International.
The USDA claims to have tested approximately 20,000 cows for the disease in 2002 and 2003, but has been unable to provide any documentation in support of this to UPI, which first requested the information in July. More
Former USDA Vet - Testing 20,000 Cows Is 'Nothing'
A day after the federal government assured people that the nation's meat supply is safe, critics said the first apparent case of mad cow disease discovered in the United States is the result of a flawed industrialized food system. More
Proof Prions In Nostrils Of Infected - Saliva Next
Note - As I said over 5 years ago, on this site and many times on my program: the oral/body fluid transmission of infection and death by prion is a reality. This newest study published in the New England Journal of Medicine confirms that prions in the infected and dying are readily found in nostrils. We already have proof prions are plentiful in tonsils, tongues and muscle tissue of infected animals and people. Someday, a brave scientist will confirm that prions are in all general body fluids...something that is more than obvious. More
