Extractions: Mad cow disease: FAO recommends precautions FAO believes that food safety is an essential component of food security, and everyone has a right to safe and nutritious food. FAO has therefore urged countries around the world to be concerned about the risk of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or "mad cow" disease, and for those countries most at risk to take action to protect the human population. In response to growing concern, FAO addresses below a series of questions on the subject and offers its recommendations. How serious is the threat of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) or mad cow disease to countries outside Europe? FAO estimates that between 1986-96 up to today, meat and bone meal (MBM) from Europe was exported to more than 100 countries. Around 100 countries imported live cattle. Some countries also re-exported MBM to third countries. All countries which have imported cattle or meat and bone meal that originated from Western Europe, during and since the 1980s, can be therefore considered at risk from the disease. Regions that have imported sizeable quantities of meat meal from the UK during and since the 1980s include the Near East, Eastern Europe and Asia. The least likely risks are in Latin America, Australia and New Zealand because of the nature of their industries, systems of production, and sources of MBM.
Then There's Mad Cow Disease…
BSE, otherwise known as mad cow disease, has resulted in theslaughter of about 178000 cattle in the UK alone since 1988.

Extractions: Travel Health Advisory Mad Cow Disease or Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) in Europe Health Canada is aware of travellers' concerns about recent reports of domestic animal cases of mad cow disease or bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in Europe. BSE is a fatal degenerative illness that affects the central nervous system of cattle. It is part of a family of diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, or TSEs, whose different forms affect different species of animals. All TSEs are believed to be linked to an abnormal form of a protein known as a prion. A build-up of this abnormal protein leads to a sponge-like appearance of the affected brain, causing neurological illness and eventual death. Diagnosis of BSE, not possible in live animals, can only be done by examining an animal's brain after death. A human form of TSE was first diagnosed in the 1920s and was named Creutzfeld-Jacob disease (CJD) after the two German scientists who described the illness. Classical CJD (cCJD) occurs naturally in the population at a rate of approximately one person per million individuals per year, making it extremely rare. On average, 30 Canadians will be diagnosed with cCJD each year, with an average age of 60 years. There is no known cure for the disease. In the early 1990s, British researchers noted a new illness having many of the classical CJD symptoms, but with several unique characteristics. Most notably, the emerging illness affected people in their late 20s. In 1996, researchers confirmed a new variant of CJD, now called vCJD. The cause of vCJD appears to be the consumption of beef and beef products from cattle infected with BSE. Following this discovery, strict measures were put in place in the UK and elsewhere to control the spread of BSE among cattle and to minimize the risk to human and animal health.

Extractions: February 2001 Mad Cow Disease, or Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), is a fatal degenerative illness that affects the central nervous system of cattle. It is part of a family of diseases known as Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies, or TSEs, whose different forms affect different species of animals. All of these TSEs are believed to be linked to an abnormal form of a type of protein known as a prion (pree-on). Build up of this abnormal protein leads to a sponge-like appearance of the affected brain. It is believed that BSE spread throughout the United Kingdom (U.K.) in the 1980s and early 1990s through feed containing meat and bone meal from cattle already infected with BSE. The illness is no longer confined to the U.K., having appeared in several other European countries in recent years and months. Can BSE be passed on to humans?

Oprah Winfrey: Mad Cow Disease, it's a medical mystery spreading panic across the Atlantic. In England, 10 puzzling deaths of young people may be linked to a rare and fatal brain disorder in cattle. The afflicted cattle shake and contort like mad dogs before what must be an excruciating and inevitable death. In human beings, dementia and paralysis precede death. Scientists speculate that cattle contract the disease by feeding on sheep parts that are infected with another disease a practice officially banned in England in 1989. Could it happen here? Dr. Gary Weber is with the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. He says our government regulations have seen to it that our beef supply is safe. My next guest disagrees, he believes the US will face a similar crisis within the next ten years. Howard Lyman is a former cattle rancher, turned vegetarian. You said this disease could make AIDS look like the common cold? Howard Lyman Absolutely, and what we're looking at right now is, we're following exactly the same path that they followed in England ten years of dealing with it as public relations rather than doing something substantial about it. [In the US]..., 100,000 cows are fine at night, dead in the morning. The majority of those cows are rounded up, ground up, fed back to other cows. If only one of them has Mad Cow Disease, it has the potential to effect thousands. Remember, today, in the US, 14 percent of all cows are ground up, turned into feed and fed back to other animals.

Myths And Truths About Mad Cow Disease(Animal Pharm By Mark Purdey)

Extractions: by Mark Purdey Note: As an organic farmer, Mark Purdey resisted the order to spray his cattle with organophosphates for warble fly and went to court for a judicial review; he won and was exempted from using the spray. No cows born in his herd developed BSE (mad cow disease). He has contributed numerous articles on the subject of BSE to scientific journals. He farms in Somerset, UK. This article appeared in Wise Traditions in Food, Farming and the Healing Arts , the quarterly magazine of the Weston A. Price Foundation, Spring 2000 As the first snowstorm of winter hit the isolated hill where I farm, I pitched out the last forkfuls of hay to my cattle before nightfall. Much like the whirlwinds of snow surging all around me, my brain was turning over and over the catalogue of injustices that successive governments had levied onto the farming community over BSE. I felt paralysed and powerless in the encroaching snowstorm. My confidence to carry on was battered to pieces by the recent ban on beef-on-the-bone. The announcementbased on the whims of a mere handful of government expertsrenders my hard graft over the last twenty years in farming into pathetic insignificance. But how can there be any true experts from academia when the most basic facets of the Bovine Spongiform Encephalitis (BSE) disease process remain a total mystery? One would have thought that all of those farmers and independent vets living and working in the front line with BSE cattle would have been the first to be consulted. But strangely, their observations have been completely ignored by officialdom.

http://www.ithyroid.com/mad_cow_disease.htm

Extractions: Latest experiments by Cambridge University prion specialist, David R. Brown, have shown that manganese bonds with prions. Other researchers work shows that prions in the bovine spine along which insecticides are applied can be damaged by ICI's Phosmet organophosphate(OP) insecticide -causing the disease. British scientists have led the current theory that an infectious prion in bonemeal fed to cattle causes bovine spongiform disease (BSE). Infectious prions are also claimed to cause new variant Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease (CJD) in humans -from ingesting beef. But the infectious prion theory serves to obscure a tragic chemical poisoning scandal behind the majority of BSE cases. The new work proves that the prions can bond with manganese in animal feeds or mineral licks. These manganese prions cause the neurological degeneration seen in BSE. By a similar process, prions in human brains are damaged by lice lotions containing organophosphate. This can result in neurological diseases like CJD and Alzheimer's -later in life.

Extractions: Data Link Mad Cow Disease, Human Brain Disorder Researchers are reporting what they say is the most compelling evidence to date that the infectious proteins called prions that cause "mad cow" disease have infected humans, causing fatal brain degeneration. Recent studies have suggested that the outbreak of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), or mad cow disease, in the late 1980s in Great Britain was responsible for the emergence of a new variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a fatal brain-degenerative disease in humans also caused by prions. However, the link has been inconclusive. The current study establishes that the particular strain of prions responsible for mad cow disease, is, in fact, the same strain that causes new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. The finding, reported in todays (December 20) issue of

A brain sample from this cow was also sent to the prefecture Livestock Hygiene Service Center and subjected to histopathological examination and found to have vacuoles on 24 Aug 2001. The same brain sample was sent to the NIAH on 6 Sep 2001 for histopathological examination with the same result, and subjected to immunohistochemical examination with a positive result on 10 Sep 2001. Control measures: immediately after bovine spongiform encephalopathy was suspected, the herd was been placed under quarantine by the prefecture veterinary inspector.

In England, 10 puzzling deaths of young people in recent years may be linked to a rare and fatal brain disorder in cattle. British scientists believe the victims may have eaten diseased beef, as many as 10 years ago. The afflicted cattle shake and contort like mad dogs before what must be an excruciating and inevitable death. In human beings, dementia and paralysis precede death. Scientists speculate that cattle contract the disease by feeding on sheep parts that are infected with another disease. A practice officially banned in England in 1989. The disease can take years to develop. McDonald's and Burger King in England have stopped selling British beef. Europe has refused to import it and now Britain will destroy 4.7 million older cows that may have fed sheep parts. The scare is turning a nation of beef eaters away from their favorite food. Could it happen here? American officials say no, but so did the British government until last month. Though the link between cattle and humans has not been definitively proven, and there's no test for Mad Cow Disease, the fear it has generated may destroy an industry and dramaticall alter the way we eat.

Welcome to the New World Order version of good nutrition and health at a time when the Orwellian Department of Health is, in reality, the Department of Disease and Genocide. The FDA really means Force Death in America, and the Department of Agriculture is, in fact, the Department of Annihilation. And the AMA has been coined by holistic medical doctors as the American Murder Association. You be the judge because our government and establishment doctors do not appear to care how many people die as a result of their food, drug and health policies. Mad Cow disease, which has killed more than 170,000 cattle in England since 1985, is a fatal degenerative disease affecting the central nervous system of cattle, which literally rots the brain filling it with little holes. Symptoms include weight loss, nervousness, agitation, aggression, staggering, snapping, uncontrollable shiver, bizarre laughter and then foaming at the mouth before dropping dead, hence the term, Mad Cow disease. The source for most of this information is Mad Cows and Milk Gate by Dr. Virgil Hulse, M.D.. During his 30 year career as a family medical doctor, dairy scientist, cancer epidemiologist and researcher, Dr. Hulse was a milk and dairy inspector for 13 years in the State of California. Unfortunately, Dr. Hulse reports that he has multiple myeloma (bone cancer) and that his son developed Hodgkin's disease (a cancer of the lymph nodes), which, in both cases, were likely caused by ingesting dairy foods and beef infected by cow's leukemia, cancer and AIDS.

Extractions: Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, or BSE, is the appropriate name of a fatal brain disease known to exist in beef and dairy cattle in the United Kingdom (the UK includes England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales). In the UK, the disease was given the inappropriate name "Mad Cow Disease," a label which has been perpetuated by the media worldwide. The cows infected with BSE are not "mad" and some researchers have said a more appropriate name might be "Sad Cow Disease" because the loss of muscular coordination and locomotive function caused by BSE is, indeed, a sad thing to observe. Fortunately, we do not have BSE in the United States or Canada. Efforts are underway to fully understand why the disease became such a problem in the UK. This information will help ensure we never acquire BSE here. The following provides answers to a set of commonly asked questions regarding BSE. The responses are based on the review of the scientific literature and direct communication with scientists studying this problem. What is BSE? BSE is an extremely rare, chronic degenerative disease affecting the central nervous system of cattle. BSE is not present in the U.S., but has been identified in the United Kingdom and in a few other countries.

Imagine the scenario: you're walking along eating this hamburger, not knowing that as you munch, alien invaders are climbing out of the meat, through your tongue, bouncing like happy, yellow pac-men toward your brain which THEY will eat the way you're inhaling that burger. You don't know you're infected so you get married and have a child-who, you guessed it, is born with the Satan bug pre-loaded, already munching away at his brain. The truth about Mad Cow is so horrific nothing is taught about it in med schools. Until a year ago, most scientists knew Jack in the Box about it-(malady originally found in cannibals but mysteriously, at times seemingly spontaneously in non -cannibals)which was probably for the best. If doctors had known any more, med students would have realized they had no more than five or ten years to live, quit school and spent their last years surfing Tahiti. A lot of people would have you believe only Mad-Cow and Englishmen go out in the Noon day sun.
