Mad Cows and Cattle Mutilations (Conspiracy Nation, 6/21/03) A scientific report by the National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS) gives a down-to-earth explanation for the mysterious, decades-long cattle mutilation phenomena. The NIDS report is available in pdf format at http://216.128.67.116/pdf/cattledeaths_tse_epidemic.pdf The report is not overly technical and readership is encouraged. What follows here in Conspiracy Nation is a layman's interpretation of the NIDS report. D. Carleton Gajdusek and the Fore Tribe Prior to 1957, D. Carleton Gajdusek had travelled extensively throughout the world, doing work for the U.S. Army. He studied diseases "of military importance." In 1957, Gajdusek was in New Guinea studying "Kuru" disease among the primitive Fore tribe. Kuru disease belongs to the category of Transmisible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) diseases (further explanation below). Gajdusek believed Kuru originated from cannibalism amongst the Fore tribe. In 1958, Gajdusek began sending autopsied Kuru brains to Dr. Joe Smadel at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The autopsied Kuru brains migrated from NIH to Fort Detrick, Maryland. In the 1960s, the Kuru disease was tested in multiple species, including chimpanzees, gibbons, mink, goats, and sheep. These animals were injected with human kuru brain extracts. In the late 1960s, things began to go wrong: Kuru-type diseases migrated from controlled lab settings and began infecting the wild and domesticated general animal population.

PrP c PrP c PrP c Prions PrP Sc PrP Sc PrP Sc Mad Cows, Kuru and You! Introduction: What are prions? Originally thought to be viral mediators of disease that were described as transmissible encephalopathies, spongiform encephalopathies and slow virus diseases , prions, ( pro teinaceous in fectious particles) have been determined to be misfolded, protease resistant proteins which can mediate transmission of disease. Prions have been implicated in a quartet of human diseases, specifically kuru Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease,(CJD Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker , (GSS) disease, and fatal familial insomnia , (FFI). In sheep, scrapie is believed to be caused by prions and Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy is a prion disease in cattle. Stanley Prusiner won the Nobel Prize in 1997 for first proposing the remarkable hypothesis that these prion diseases were caused by misfolded proteins, and furthermore, elucidating the gene and a mechanism by which the misfolded wild type protein might bring about the amyloid plaques observed clinically. The seminal paper in which some of this information was published is available here This is the third figure from the report

Dr. John Koester, Director of the Center for Neurobiology and Behavior, Columbia University "The story of how neurology has been transformed into one of the most rapidly expanding and exciting areas of current medical advance is intimately bound up with the story of the National Institute for Neurological Disease and Stroke (NINDS), which is engagingly told by Lewis P.

Retour au menu Prions Daniel Carleton GAJDUSEK Médecin américain né à New York en 1923 avec une formation de microbiologiste et de virologue. Ses études de médecine générale terminées, il se dirigea vers la pédiatrie clinique et la neurologie, effectuant pour finir un stage de recherche en virologie avant de rejoindre, en 1952, l'Institut Pasteur de Téhéran (Iran) pour y étudier la médecine tropicale. Ses recherches le menèrent des vallées du Kush aux jungles d'Amérique du Sud et surtout, aux hauts plateaux de Nouvelle Guinée. Il y débarqua pour la première fois en 1957, accompagnant Vincent Zigas, un médecin biologiste d'origine estonienne qui travaillait depuis plusieurs années sur les problèmes sanitaires rencontrés dans cette région et plus particulièrement sur la maladie du kuru, maladie dégénérative subaiguë du système nerveux, dont l'issue est toujours fatale. En 1957, C. Gajdusek et V. Zigas se rendent dans la région du kuru et observent deux cas. Suspectant une épidémie d'encéphalopathie, ils pensent à une infection virale, et prélèvent du sang et des fragments de cerveau des victimes, les envoient en Australie dans l'espoir que l'agent infectieux sera isolé, mais en vain. En 1957, ils publient la première description médicale et une étude épidémiologique du kuru. Lors de la présentation de ce travail par C. Gajdusek, William Hadlow, vétérinaire américain qui travaille sur la tremblante du mouton, remarque que les images des cerveaux des Fores atteints de kuru et celles des moutons atteints de tremblante se ressemblent.

Pandora's box of the demented has been opened for decades, closing it will be most impossible with current safeguards. until they can perfect a test, not only to confirm TSE agent, but also to differentiate between the many differnt strains (there are over 20 in sheep scrapie, and sheep scrapie is the sole model for CJD studies), they then will have to perfect a test that will differentiate between the many different routes. so, as you can see, this could very well take many more decades to answer these questions. but in the mean time, i will not now or ever accept the 'spontaneous/sporadic' theory without any source and route. i plan to continue to fan the fire until we know what killed our loved ones...

Boksamling donert til UB En tidligere nobelprisvinner ønsker å donere sin samling på flere tusen bøker om amerikanske indianere og eskimoer til Universitetsbiblioteket ved UiTø. Bibliotekdirektør Helge Salvesen mener samlinga er unik i europeisk målestokk og vil berike universitetsmiljøet. Av Vegar Andreassen Professor D. Carleton Gajdusek fikk nobelprisen i medisin i 1976 og har arbeidet et halvt århundre med «oppvekst, utvikling og oppførsel og sykdomsmønstre for barn i primitive og isolerte kulturer». Mye av arbeidet har vært sentrert rundt amerikanske indianere og har resultert i en gedigen boksamling. Gajdusek ønsker nå å forære denne samlinga til Universitetsbibiloteket (UB). Meget sjenerøst – Dette er et meget sjenerøst og flott tilbud som vi ikke kan si nei til, sier bibliotekdirektør Helge Salvesen og legger til: – Samlinga vil berike både UB og universitetsmiljøet, spesielt siden vi har særlig fokus på samisk kultur og etniske relasjoner. Siden boksamlinga skal presenteres samlet, har ikke Salvesen klart hvor UB ønsker å plassere den. Han fremmer likevel følgende idé: – Samisk senter skal få egne arealer i tilknytning til Teorifagbygget og kanskje kan vi plassere hele samlinga der. Det kunne bli et spennende samarbeid mellom UB og Samisk senter, foreslår Salvesen.

This Week in History Daniel Carleton Gajdusek Daniel Carleton Gajdusek in the news Daniel Carleton Gajdusek (born September 9 Yonkers New York , U.S.A.) is an American physician and medical researcher, who was the corecipient (along with Baruch S. Blumberg ) of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1976. He received the award in recognition of his study of a remarkable disease, Kuru ( Fore word for "trembling"). This disease was rampant among the South Fore people of New Guinea in the 1950's and 1960's. Gajdusek correctly connected the prevalence of the disease with the practice of funerary cannibalism , practiced by the South Fore. With elimination of this practice, Kuru disappeared among the South Fore within a generation. Gajdusek graduated in 1943 from the University of Rochester New York ) , where he studies Physics Biology Chemistry and Mathematics . He obtained an M.D. from Harvard University in 1946. He performed postdoctoral research at both Caltech and Harvard before being drafted to complete military service at the Walter Reed Army Medical Service Graduate School as a research virologist .He held a position at the Institut Pasteur in Tehran from 1952 to 1953, where he was excited by the challenges "offered by urgent opportunistic investigations of epidemiological problems in exotic and isolated populations". In 1954 he went to work as a visiting investigator at the Walter and Eliza Institute of Medical Research in
