From my research, I believe prions are not the initial cause of brain wasting and neurodegenerative diseases, but lack of oxygen to the brain, due to injury and/or toxin, could be.
Research into anaemia, led me to Sickle-cell anaemia. When the sickle-cells are exposed to oxygen, they change shape.
When oxygen is taken away, the sickle-cell reverts back to the "ill" cell - which means the cell wouldn't be normal in the first place because if there was enough oxygen in the body, the cell wouldn't become an "ill" cell to cause illness.
