Perhaps they need to unravel the mystery of the organism that causes the
problem so they can find a means of defeating it. Meanwhile, it needs to be
put in the laboratory and out of the political arena, because they will
otherwise make no progress against the disease. My father died from
complications of Parkinson's Disease. One of the causes that are suspected
in that disease are chemical exposure. I guess keeping things like steroids
and antibiotics and chemicals out of the food supply would be helpful, but
it is going to be an uphill battle as long as money plays such a prominent
role things. You are what you eat - I don't want to eat downer cows etc.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease -=V=- "Mad Cow Disease"

These two Disease 'appear' to be Related in Form ONLY.
Note: They are NOT 'variations' of the same form of "Disease".

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease occurs in about One-in-a-Million persons.

The distribution of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease appears to be
evenly distributed throughout the World across all social strata,
ethnic groups and racial populations.
NOTE: This translates to about 300 Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
Patients in the USofA.

To talk about Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease and people who are victims
of it and then try and link "Mad Cow Disease" to it is Stupid,
Dumb and just plain Dishonest [.]

There are Medical Tests that can determine if an individual human
patient or animal has one or other of these two diseases.

My brother-in-law died last November of CJD. The symptoms began showing
up in early summer as trembling of his hands. The doctors diagnosed
everything from a small stroke to a brain tumor. Test ruled everything
out. By October he had double vision and mussle weakness. It progressed
very rapidly. Eventually a sample of spinal fluid provided the diagnoses
of CJD.
CJD, BSE, and CWD (chronic wasting disease) are very similar in that
they attack the brain and nervous system the same way.
Last year, my brother-in-law who was an avid hunter, was doing some
target practice on his farm. He set up a target in front of a bunch of
trees and bushes. When he shot, he though he saw something fall and went
to investigate and he had shot a deer that he could not see as it was
behing the target. He had the deer processed as he like venison, he did
not have it tested for CWD. I don't know and don't really think there is
a connection (these diseases usually take a long time to develop) and
the doctors said his CJD was not food related, but it does makes one
wonder.
