Reply #50: the symptoms look remarkably similar to Alzheimer's.

I read this spring about a treatment for vCJD (Mad Cow) that essentially filters your blood of prions (the malformed proteins that cause Mad Cow).

Don't beleive for a minute that the only susceptible meat is spinal tissue and brain. Cows become infected by eating prions, which can't be destroyed by cooking. The prions go in their stomachs, out their gut, into the bloodstream and *then* settle in to work on the brain. But the same blood that carries prions to the brain is also going through all the cow's roasts and steaks and ribs too...


... Beef, it's what's for dinner!
