Fatal Brain Disease Spreads in Britain

CJD is a prion borne disease caused by consuming cow brains I believe. It is what is called "mad cow disease" I am involved in the health industry so I am familiar with it.

Proteins have an optimal ph and temperature at which their conformation works best. Heat will most definitely destroy it.

Your statements are pure horsepoop.

Check out a few of the links provided, to start your education.

Ed to add:

I'm totally horrified that you're trying to spread such disinformation. Here are a few bits for your edification.


It's hard to "kill" something that's not "alive" - and in general, new 'exposures' just cause prions to mutate into new strains. …For your info:

Literature Reports of PHYSICAL SUSCEPTIBILITY for Prion Protein

In general TSE agents are much more resistant than are conventional infectious agents, such as bacteria and viruses, to heat, ultraviolet radiation, ionizing radiation and microwave irradiation.

…environmental insults, either physical (heat, pressure, radiation) or chemical (heavy metals, arsenate, toxins), also cause proteins to misfold into toxic shapes.

Imagine a doctor giving a person's wife the bad news that he just died from a fatal brain disease because the cost of replacing scalpels which would prevent the spread of that brain disease adds up over time. Sounds pretty messed up to me, I don't think hospitals are there to care about saving a few nickels and dimes, they're there to save people's lives and keep us healthy.

An email back from the Douglass report, and I'll update to this thread if new info arrives.
