Guest guest Posted January 7, 2002 Report Share Posted January 7, 2002 Hello....does anyone know what " spongiform encephalopathies " is? Is that the mad cow disease?? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve & db=PubMed & list_uids=1\ 1761262 & dopt=Abstract Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies: vaccine issues. Cashman NR. Department of Medicine (Neurology), Center for Research in Neurodegenerative Diseases and Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Sciences Center, University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The recent emergence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD) suggests that transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) pose an ongoing threat to human and animal health. To avoid iatrogenic transmission of TSEs in vaccines, strategies must be developed to obviate TSE agent infectivity in cellular substrates, cell culture media components and enzymes, and excipients, and to validate the safety of these components and field vaccines efficiently PMID: 11761262 [PubMed - in process] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The high tech world has to have high tech names. They intend to keep us common folks confused and dumb. Often they fail. A good friend of mine died with this disease about a year ago. Other friends are so brain washed that they say......... " I don't believe it " . We had one other death from a " NOT REPORTED " case within the last few months. I understand that the cause is not a virus nor a bacteria, but a deformed protein that cannot be killed by normal cooking temperatures. If the temperature reaches a " kill point " , then there will be nothing left to eat. ( something like 2000 of 3000 deg will kill it ) One of my trusted doctors says the best way to " try " to avoid getting it, is to eat zero commercial beef. Eat only grass fed, free ranging beef. Another BIG PLUS for the ones that say, " don't eat meat " . Now they have good reason to be saying this. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
