A few years ago she told me her friend's father died of " brain complications " , he was 65. This girls family were friends of the funeral director and had an autopsy done. He told them in confidence that their husband/father had died of " Mad Cow " . He also confided this was his third case in a few years. He would not reveal this information to the public... not sure what his reason was but I could guess. The fellow that passed had not traveled abroad, led a regular life but did like meat, esp. steaks and such. Now this small town had 3 people pass, which was years ago, maybe a few more since then... how many other small/large towns have this happening? We could be on the brink of an epidemic and no one would know. How many small cattle farms are still feeding animal carcasses due to economic,convenience or other reasons? Food for thought..

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 Mary, In a nutshell a prion is a backward folded protien. As far as I know nobody fully understands what is happening here. But research indicates started from brain matter cannibalism, ie same species. The prion is a self destructing protien which unfortunately is all too willing to pass on the self destruct message. Prions do not biodegrade as we know it. Prions must be heated to a temperature in excess of 800 degrees F. to be destroyed. This same madcow disease is also known as " scrapie " in sheep, " Chronic wasting " or CWD disease in wildlife, and " Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease " in humans. You will hear others claim that they are different but they are not, it is passed from one species to the other quite easily. regards, ken herbal remedies , " Ostrowski " <Odesign1@e...> wrote: > Ken...I get what prions are but I do not know where they come from or how > they occur.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 So now what? I can't be a vegetarian (no offense) I was one for about 2 years and just didn't like it. Is organic beef safe?? I can't always get it...geeze...you can't even trust wild meat..wow! Andie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Dear Andie, Don't know about the "wild" meat. I've eaten "organic" meats (sparingly) for years now, including "wild", and maintained excellent health. This is a "new" area and as such the waters have not really been tested, so to speak. My gut reaction is that this is the latest scare tactic by the Medico/Psych/Pharmaceutical/cartel assisted by the Merchants of Chaos = the News Media. ;o) Until there's a human case of MCD, I'm just not going to get my dander up. I'm still suffering from the Anthrax non-event ;o) Love, Doc Ian "Doc" Shillington N.D.505-772-5889Dr.IanShillington - frodolives84 herbal remedies Sunday, January 04, 2004 6:19 PM [herbal remedies] re: mad cow So now what?

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 On the subject of the media and anthrax...I remember when the whole Anthrax thing was just starting. The first man that got it was initially reported to have contracted it from " drinking from a stream " . That's right. The best the media could come up with was that he got it from " drinking from a stream " . And this was just after the whole Sep 11 thing. That's a pretty weak coverup, if you ask me. My fiancee & I had read enough realistic bioterrorist fiction books to know that anthrax can be a nice bioweapon. We just looked at each other when the news came out with that and shook our heads and said " uh-uh. Not buyin' it.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 That is horrible. Why would they do that? I can relate to stating people should be shot. I too am against the death penalty and thought that the person that dropped off the last dog I picked up at the gas station should be shot.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 In east Texas this would only happen if a cow jumped the fence into the pig pen! The bovine stomach is designed to handle vegetation efficiently, not meats. Why anyone would give a cow animal protein is beyond me. Cattlemen have used sex hormones and growth hormone to increase the poundage of livestock. Though that meat is something I'd rather not eat, it is a safer choice for growers than feeding cows animal protein. "Now Johnny, that's a cow, and that's a pig; make sure you know the difference. They take different feed and management!" Please, please, please bring back kosher livestock! Dr. Goebel Food fight? Enjoy some healthy debatein the Answers Food Drink Q&A.
