CONSUMPTION OF VEAL OR VENISON AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF CJD (INCREASED RISKS OF 2-13x)

[flatfish]

greetings,

i have been working on something for a while 'the big lie', the following data to be added in, but i thought due to what i think the importance of this is, i thought i would go ahead and put this out now for those that might be interested. ........tss



CHANGING SCIENCE TO FIT YOUR INDUSTRY NEEDS COVER-UP IN FULL MODE NOW


PROBLEM

7. The main findings in the case-control study were STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN CONSUMPTION OF VEAL OR VENISON AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF CJD (INCREASED RISKS OF 2-13x).


IP PS(L) wishes to probe this further we think it best to explain the matter VERBALLY. The problem is how to present the findings in this year's annual report in a way which avoids unnecessary public alarm and limits the scope for media scare stores. (or the facts...TSS)

Dear Mr Elmhirst,

CREUTZFELDT-JAKOB DISEASE (CJD) SURVEILLANCE UNIT REPORT

Thank you for your recent letter concerning the publication of the third annual report from the CJD Surveillance Unit. I am sorry that you are dissatisfied with the way in which this report was published.

The Surveillance Unit is completely independent outside body and the Department of Health is committed to publishing their reports as soon as they become available. In the circumstances it is not the practice to circulate the report for comment since the findings of the report would not be amended. In future we can ensure that the British Deer Farmers Association receives a copy of the report in advance of publication.

snip...

The statistical results regarding the consumption of venison was put into perspective in the body of the report and was NOT MENTIONED AT ALL IN THE PRESS RELEASE. Media attention regarding this report was low key but gave a realistic presentation of the statistical findings of the Unit. This approach to publication was successful in that consumption of VENISON was highlighted only by the media i.e. in the News at one television programme.

I believe that a further statement about the report, or indeed statistical links between CJD and consumption of Venison, would increase, and quite possibly GIVE DAMAGING CREDENCE, to the whole issue. From the low key media reports of which I am aware it seems unlikely that venison consumption will suffer adversely, if at all.

G'day flatfish,
Has there been any study done on injury and/or toxin as a possible cause of CJD? Some of the case studies on another CJD site, mention falls/accidents, where the person - who was diagnosed with CJD and had died - has had a bad injury to the head or spine some time before visiting the doctor with strange, worrying symptoms..
Injury to the head and spine can cause damage to the carotid body (in the neck) which can result in an imbalance of carbon dioxide and oxygen to the brain, which can cause neurological symptoms - and death. This may be the reason for a quick onset of symptoms - and a quick death from CJD - which is a brain wasting/decaying disease.

Perhaps some may get CJD from eating contaminated meat - or contaminated in surgery etc., - but on the whole, I believe it could be caused by injury and/or toxin which can deplete oxygen going to the brain, developing in wasting or decaying of the brain from lack of oxygen. I've heard that some people who have been on illegal drugs, end up having wasting/decaying of the brain from the toxins depriving the brain of oxygen.
Throughout life we suffer many falls and injuries, even many years ago, forgotten or unknown. Some symptoms can develop soon after the injury or toxin contact - some may just need another injury on top of an old injury, to cause the quick onset of CJD symptoms.
I feel that by the time many medical tests are taken and all other reasons for such symptoms are discounted, the carbon dioxide in those people who have eventually been diagnosed as with CJD, haven't time to think, tell anyone or write down their medical and injury history.
Maybe you or someone else who is interested, could find out if an accident/ injury study has been carried out for those diagnosed as with CJD - and if not - why not.
ainee.
