Prion Disease Never An Isolated Event Mad cow disease has again raised its ugly head in the United States. Thanks to misinformation and mismanagement by government, the problem will persist. Government and industry representatives announced yesterday that an 11-year-old beef cow in Alabama tested positive for prion disease. Also known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), […]
Science, Evidence Proving That Alzheimer’s Disease Is Transmissible If you think that you and your family are immune to the surging epidemic of neurodegenerative disease, think again. Neurodegenerative disease, including Alzheimer’s disease, is the fastest-growing cause of death in the world. It’s getting worse every day thanks to mismanagement and misinformation. Infectious proteins known as prions are involved with most […]
Alzheimer’s Disease Spreads Through Bodily Fluids Neurodegenerative diseases are the fastest-growing causes of death around the world. The mismanagement of infectious waste is contributing to the epidemic. Dr. Stanley Prusiner earned a Nobel Prize in 1997 for his pioneering research on deadly prions—an infectious form of protein that connects a deadly spectrum disease calledtransmissible spongiform […]
Bodily Fluids Spreading Alzheimer’s Disease Neurodegenerative disease, including Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, is the fastest-growing cause of death in the world. Misinformation and mismanagement are contributing to the surge. Alzheimer’s disease alone is killing 50-100 million people now. Experts suggest that the prevalence of brain disease will quadruple by 2050, if not sooner. Death rates from heart disease and cancer are dropping […]
Alzheimer’s Epidemic Buried Under Inaccurate Death Certificates By Helane Shields, cshields@tds.net The most common conventional causes of death in industrialized countries are (1.) cardiovascular disease,(2.) cancer, (3.) Alzheimer’s disease and (4.) accident (in that order). Alzheimer’s victims usually die of pneumonia, a lung condition or a cerebro-vascular condition — so Alzheimer’s victims are often declared to die of […]
Sewage Sludge Puts Food, Water Supplies In Jeopardy By Helane Shields, email hshields@tds.net Infectious prions are in the sewage sludge being used to fertilize food crops across America and around the world. So-called biosolids and the reckless dumping of unregulated toxic waste are contributing to a global spike in neurodegenerative disease among people, wildlife and […]
Neurological Disease Spreading To Food, Water Supplies via Sewage Approximately 44 million people around the world already have Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. It’s the fastest-growing cause of death in the world. Alzheimer’s disease is a member of an aggressive family of neurodegenerative diseases known as Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE). The operative word is “transmissible.” Related diseases are killing wildlife and […]
Deadly Proteins Unstoppable In Biosolids, Reused Water San Diego’s City Council approved plans to reuse sewage water into drinking water. It’s a growing trend that short-sells a proven health risk associated with deadly proteins. In my opinion, San Diego joined a growing global movement in what could become a human health disaster. The move could […]
Deadly Protein Unstoppable In Sewage The San Diego City Council approved plans to recycle sewage water into drinking water this week. The move likely failed to account for a proven health risk. In my opinion, San Diego joined a growing global movement in what could become a human health disaster. The move is a death sentence for millions of people who will drink reclaimed […]
Disease Deadly, Unstoppable If one Alzheimer’s author and advocate is right, millions of caregivers and family members around the world are putting themselves and even others at risk while caring for Alzheimer’s patients. A new book by Crossbow’s Gary R. Chandler explains why some, if not all, forms of Alzheimer’s are contagious. Caregivers and family members […]
