IS MAD COW DISEASE CAUSING THOUSANDS OF HUMAN
DEATHS IN THE U.S.?
Thanks to a massive marketing blitz (funded by scarce taxpayer money)
the U.S. Government has been working overtime to alleviate the public’s
concerns about Mad Cow Disease and its human counterpart Creutzfeldt
Jacob Disease (CJD). Consumers no longer know who to trust. Regardless,
experts on all sides of the political spectrum agree with one basic
fact: the two diseases are undeniably connected. In both cases, aberrant
proteins, known as prions, begin to multiply and literally cause holes
in the brain, ultimately leading to death. According to the U.S. Center
for Disease Control, hundreds of CJD human fatalities have been
occurring in the U.S. every year, but until now, they have simply been
written off as unexplainable and spontaneous cases. At the same time,
it
is well known that ingesting meat contaminated with these prions causes
the same fatal reaction to occur in the human body. Based on that basic
understanding, coupled with the fact that the vast majority of U.S.
cattle are never tested for Mad Cow Disease, scientists like Dr. Michael
Gregor, a world renowned expert on the issue, and dozens of research
institutions around the world are now linking these deaths to the food
supply. /old_articles/madcow/GregerCJD.cfm
