The poor cows suffering from BSE will be most upset with you ----- or is it PMT.

For those of you that do not consider testing on animals is necessary, please contact me and I will put your names forward for the next round of clinical tests.\n\nYou can choose from Anthrax, Botulism, Aids, Lassa Fever, Ebola virus, and many others.\n\nStill interested?

A prion (pronounced 'pree-on') — short for proteinaceous infectious particle — is a unique type of infectious agent, as it is made only of protein. Prions are abnormally-structured forms of a host protein, which are able to convert normal molecules of the protein into the abnormal structure. Though the exact mechanisms of their actions and propagation are unknown, it is now commonly accepted that prions are responsible for a number of previously known but little-understood diseases classified as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). These include scrapie (a disease of sheep), Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE or mad cow disease).These diseases affect the structure of brain tissue and all are fatal and untreatable.\n\nProteins showing prion behaviour are also found in some fungi. Some fungal prions may not be associated with any disease state and may have an evolutionary advantage for their hosts. So far all prions discovered are believed to infect and propagate by formation of an amyloid fold. However, since any infectious protein particle would be defined as a prion, other mechanisms may be possible.

because they are extremely paranoid about mad cow disease and since mad cow is a neurological disease, it could be contained in the brain or spinal cord of a diseased animal, even if that animal showed no signs of the disease.

Several possibilities include hepatitis B and C.  You'd probably know if you had these.  Another possibility is cytomegalovirus (CMV) -- it is a virus that is present in a large portion of the population.  It is dormant and has no effect until the immune system goes down.  Sometimes the plasma is given to people with poor immunity and thus needs to be CMV negative.  The people who rejected your plasma should tell you why.  Good luck!

Prions do not cause rabies. Rabies is a viral disease.\n\nPrions are proteins without any genetic material. Prionic diseases tend to affect thebrain (we don't really know why) and give such diseases as BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encepalopathy) which is Mad Cow disease, and Creutzfeld-Jacob syndrome.

Lupus is an auto-immune disease - it attacks by tricking your body into thinking that it's own tissue is foreign matter that must be destroyed.\n\nAutism is a developmental disorder.  \n\n"Autism is characterized by impaired social interaction, problems with verbal and nonverbal communication, and unusual, repetitive, or severely limited activities and interests."\n\nThe two can both be present in one person, but they are not linked, from any means that I can discover.

http://www.post-polionetwork.org.au/news/ppn29.html   This association might help although it is in Australia.\n\nAny good reputable text book should give adquate information on the management of this disease.

From the beef company... They bio-engineered the bird flu to make people scared of eating chicken.... They want to increase their share of the meat market....\n\n\nAt the same time, the chicken people (Tyson especially) is trying to come up with a cow flu to do the opposite... \n\nIt's a dangerous time to be a meat eater!!!

Hi ..No special diet has been proven effective for preventing or treating this disease... Some people find their symptoms are made worse by milk, alcohol, hot spices, or fiber... People are encouraged to follow a nutritious diet and avoid any foods that seem to worsen symptoms... But there are no consistent rules...\n\nPeople should take vitamin supplements only on their doctor's advice..\n\nI put a link, below..with information..about the foundation! ...\ni wish you, all the best , and the courage, you need!!...\n\nKind, regards!:)

I totally agree with your thinking on the first two, I have often made the Cinderella argument myself. However, mad cow disease is a real thing, BSE - Bovine (meaning cows) Spongiform Encephalitis. Encephalitis is a form of brain disease, hence the 'mad' element. The human variant is CJD - Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, and can be caught from eating contaminated meat.

Mad Cow Disease and  the classic Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease (CJD) are NOT related. They are mentioned in the same breath usually because at the beginning BSE was thought to be a new form of CJD because of the similarity of symptoms.  \nCJD is caused by proteins called Prions and is very rare (about 1 in 1 mio). It usually appears in midlife, often after 50. Symptoms are similar of those of dementias (like Alzheimers).\nIt usually is very aggressive, killing a sufferer in less than a year
