"This is what is thought to have caused mad cow disease, the human variant of which is expected to kill many people in the next 15-20 years, due to its long latency period. Will we see "mad chicken disease" emerge in future years as well, since many livestock chickens are fed dead chickens? These poor livestock animals are also drugged with steroids and antibiotics in addition to being forced to eat an unnatural diet of inferior food full of pesticides and herbicides. Some of the pesticide and herbicide residues from all the plant food the animal ever ate are concentrated in its fats." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Unfortunately, the first growth hormone available was obtained from human cadavers, and in the early years of therapy many growth hormone deficient-children contracted the equivalent of mad cow disease from injections of growth hormone from such sources. In the mid-1980s, bioidentical growth hormone was produced from recombinant DNA technology. Now safe, yet expensive, growth hormone is available by injection only. After its discovery in 1958, growth hormone was initially used only in children who failed to grow." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"But that was abandoned when it turned out that growth hormone taken from people had a major downside (in addition to cost)—and that was that it occasionally caused the human equivalent of mad cow disease. Not good, as they say. Fortunately, at around the same time it was determined that true Human Growth Hormone was not an acceptable alternative, recombinant DNA technology came into its own." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"This is significant because I can assure you that if there have been two reported cases of mad cow disease, that means that there are thousands and thousands of cows that have mad cow disease that have not been reported. I believe that cows in America have mad cow disease and are not being reported. The information is being suppressed and hidden from you. If you are eating regular conventional beef, you are an absolute insane crazy person because I believe you are eating meat that is highly diseased." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)

"Prions are most familiar to the public as the cause of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or mad cow disease. Energetic Terrain 5 Energetic Terrain 5 is associated bioenergetically with the skin and lungs and links to the energetic template of a btoad spectrum of viruses, including the many strains of human papilloma virus and the Bunyavirus family, particularly herpes-related and wart-related viruses. Energetic Terrain 6 The nose, throat, lungs, and bronchi are all host sites bioenergetically for Energetic Terrain 6." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"Of course, the contamination of today's domesticated animal stocks with mad cow disease and other maladies has eliminated the option of eating animal brain and nervous tissue as sources of DHA. But wild game, organic beef, and grass-and pasture-fed animals have meats with more omega-3 fat than other meats available today. Many vegetarians supplement DHA produced from microalgae. The FDA recently approved a commercially available omega-3 fatty acid supplement (Lovaza, Reliant Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) at doses of 2,000 to 4,000 milligrams per day for treatment of high blood triglyceride levels." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"In the book, Mad Cowboy, former cattle rancher, Howard Lyman details that mad cow disease stems from the feeding concoctions of dead cows and other animals in the factory farms to the living cows. When those living cows are slaughtered and eaten, they pass the mad cow disease on to humans. When one eats the flesh of tortured animals, or the milk of dairy cows, or eggs from factory chickens, one also ingests the fear, the pain, the exhaustion and the sorrow of those beings. These energies manifest within the consumer in the form of negative attitudes, depression and illness." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.)

"Gabriel Cousens stated in a lecture that according to studies, 3-13% of what is diagnosed as Alzheimer's is actually mad cow disease. We also have "mad fish disease," "mad deer disease" and even "mad squirrel disease," although none of this is being reported officially. Spiritual Considerations Many people have chosen not to eat meat at all because they believe they can expand their consciousness by eating vegetarian diets. Living food indeed seems to have a higher spiritual vibration, imparting a vibratory advantage to the one who ingests it." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "These chickens are not fed other dead chickens or chicken excrement, so you don't have to worry about getting "mad chicken disease" in case that is later discovered to be a counterpart to mad cow disease, which reputedly arose from feeding infected, dead cows to live cattle. Free-range and vegan-fed chickens, especially those whose diets include flaxseeds, always yield the best eggs. They are higher in beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, as opposed to the more common omega-6 fatty acids. Furthermore, such eggs taste much, much more delicious." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "The practice of rendering is said to be responsible for mad cow disease. Who knows how many other mad animal diseases will be popping up? Also, kosher animals are guaranteed to have been healthy. As stated earlier, much of the meat we see at the grocery comes from very sick animals. If you can, get kosher meat from animals that have been fed organic plant food. Kevin Trudeau claims to have a source of organic kosher meat. If you join his web site for a small monthly fee at www.naturalcures.com, you can learn where to buy it.

"It was quite an accomplishment, and, though the race isn't won (newly emerging viruses and prions, like those causing mad cow disease, still threaten), it's amazing to consider that the bubonic plague of the Middle Ages that killed a quarter of the world's population is something medicine can easily treat today. Fast-forward to 1942, when something new and distinctly different happened: the word stress first entered the medical lexicon as a way to refer to something purely psychological that also had profound physical effects." - Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.)

"The USDA also has cover-ups and denials about mad cow disease, fraudulent testing results of mad cow disease, massive caving in to the financial interests of industries like the sugar industry and a denial of the harmful effects of food preservatives like sodium nitrite and MSG. Gatekeepers of scientific "truth" These institutions ?the FDA, the USDA, med schools and scientific journals ?" - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"Other Adrenal Supports Adrenal extracts are actual extracts of adrenal tissue obtained from pigs (porcine extract) or cows (bovine extract—most companies specify New Zealand bovine, since there are no mad cow disease possibilities from these sources). They contain adrenal nutrients as well as adrenal hormones and provide an effective remedy for low energy symptoms. I prescribe them frequently. Unlike horse estrogen (Premarin), the adrenal hormones in pigs and cows have the same structure as the hormones made by our bodies." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"These so-called slow viruses known as prions are made of proteins rather than DNA or RNA, as are most viruses, and cause such conditions as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, kuru, scrapie, and the infamous mad cow disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy). Prions were discovered by the American scientist Stanley Prusiner in the 1980s and have been found to cause spongiform encephalopathies?brain pathology marked by small holes in brain tissue." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"Berlowitz, an editor at the University of Illinois Law Review, called the USDA's action against Creekstone "a ruse to protect the agency and the beef industry from a public outcry that would take place if more cases of mad cow disease were found. In its ninety-three years of existence, the Virus-Serum-Toxin Act has never been used or interpreted to regulate testing of any kind. Manipulating the act to include the BSE test perverts the statute's purpose." - Linda Faillace, Mad Sheep: The True Story Behind the USDA's War on a Family Farm (Get the book.) "Our sheep were the only sheep in the world killed under suspicion of mad cow disease. It seemed probable that this flawed study was how Detwiler and the USDA were able to have the Vermont Congressional Delegation agree to the seizing of our sheep. Davis said it best in his letter to Alfonso Torres, Deputy Administrator ofUSDA/APHIS. Dear Mr. Torres: The Emperor has no clothes." - Linda Faillace, Mad Sheep: The True Story Behind the USDA's War on a Family Farm (Get the book.) "After campaigning in the trenches for thirteen years to get the USDA and FDA to stop the hazardous feeding of billions of pounds of blood, slaughterhouse waste, and manure every year to farm animals, and to require mandatory testing of cattle for mad cow disease at slaughter, I had lost or repressed some of my anger and frustrations. But then I read this book, and like post-combat stress, a flood of memories rushed back." - Linda Faillace, Mad Sheep: The True Story Behind the USDA's War on a Family Farm (Get the book.)

"Broxmeyer implicates yet another bacterium in the TB-family, Paratuberculosis bovis, as the primary culprit in meat that is linked with mad cow disease. Broxmeyer provides a list of authoritative reports on the link between bacteria and disease at http://www.medamericaresearch.org/ Reports are streaming in from across the globe of linkage between tuberculosis infection and cancer. Here are some of them: ¦ It is interesting to note that while 75-90% of people who develop lung cancer are smokers, a smaller proportion of smokers (25-33%) develop lung cancer." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"Organic, grass-fed meat is also less likely to carry mad cow disease.) Eat the leanest cuts possible. Skinless chicken and turkey are better sources of protein as they contain little saturated fat. Eliminate trans-fatty acids from your diet. Fried foods, especially French fries, fried chicken, and doughnuts, are almost always soaked in these toxic fats. Food manufacturers have to tell you, on their labeling, how much of these fats their products contain, but you should know that a product that contains less than half a gram (0." - Hyla Cass, Supplement Your Prescription: What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutrition (Get the book.)

"Experts studying the BSE epidemic surmised that up until the early 1980s the renderers in the United Kingdom used flammable solvents to dissolve fats and the solvents may have deactivated the agent that causes mad cow disease and scrapie. When the use of these solvents was discontinued this may have allowed the scrapie agent to remain viable. It was shortly after Tenderers stopped using these solvents that the first cases of BSE began to appear in cattle in the United Kingdom." - Ann N. Martin, Food Pets Die For: Shocking Facts About Pet Food (Get the book.)

"MAD COW DISEASE "Mad cow disease" is the common name of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), a transmissible, slowly progressive, degenerative, fatal disease affecting the central nervous system of adult cattle. The transmissible agent in BSE is a modified form of a normal cell surface component known as a prion protein. Unlike infectious organisms, prions are resistant to common treatments, such as heat and digestive secretions. Eating the meat of an animal with BSE may lead to a disease similar to BSE in humans called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, or vCJD." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book.)

"In 1997 Oprah Winfrey was sued by cattle ranchers because of a show she hosted in which her guests discussed beef and mad cow disease. The plaintiffs alleged that Winfrey wrongfully disparaged the U.S. beef industry, which negatively impacted their beef sales. In late 2000, while reading transcripts from the well-publicized trial, I noted that one of the plaintiffs, Paul Engler of Cactus Feeders, Inc., stated that "more than 10 cows with some sort of nervous system disorder were sent to Hereford Byproducts." - Ann N. Martin, Food Pets Die For: Shocking Facts About Pet Food (Get the book.)

"Studies in Michigan indicate that PCB exposure during pregnancy causes a delay of infant brain development, resulting in slower neuromuscular development, as well as causing decreased head circumference, birth MAD COW DISEASE The specter of mad cow disease increasingly overshadows the beef industry in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. mad cow disease, clinically known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), is a deadly illness resulting in a slow and painful deterioration of the brain, turning it into a mushy sponge." - Larry Trivieri, Jr., Alternative Medicine the Definitive Guide, Second Edition (Get the book.)

"Organic, grass-fed meat is also less likely to carry mad cow disease.) Eat the leanest cuts possible. Skinless chicken and turkey are better sources of protein as they contain little saturated fat.

"Europe was coming out of a tailspin provoked by the raging controversy over mad cow disease, which spread into European stockyards despite assurances from public officials and scientists that there was nothing to worry about. If the idea that cows were getting sick from eating the ground-up remains of their fellow heifers was not sci-fi enough, here was another development straight out of surrealism: corn or strawberries being bred with the genes of fish or pigs. A popular movement erupted in Europe against the introduction of genetic engineering into food." - Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.)

"One of the most well-known examples of dangerous misfolded aggregated proteins are prions (proteinaceous infectious particles), responsible for mad cow disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) and the deadly Creutzfeld-Jacob disease in humans. Prions cause other healthy proteins to also become misfolded. Over time, they cause holes in the brain, severe dysfunction, and death. Prions survive cooking and are believed to be transmittable to humans who eat meat from infected "mad" cows. The disease may incubate undetected for about two to eight years in cows and up to 30 years in humans." - Jeffrey M. Smith, Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods (Get the book.) "Three of the whistleblowers, who also spoke out on such controversial topics as mad cow disease, were ultimately fired on July 14,2004.224 Canadian GM food approvals are assumption-based According to crop physiologist E. Ann Clark, "People who assume that there is actual testing, and more specifically, actual testing involving actual grain from transgenic crops, will be amazed to learn that risk assessment of GM crops is largely heuristic or assumptions-based, as is disturbingly clear from the summary statements that accompany Health Canada's assessment of GM submissions." - Jeffrey M. Smith, Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods (Get the book.)

"Beef should be avoided because of the real risk of mad cow disease (prion disease). What about vegetarians? The problem with the vegan diet is that vegetables do not supply all the essential amino acids needed for healing and immune function. It is important that vegetarians and vegans eat a wide variety of fruits and vegetables to get as many of the essential amino acids as possible. Many are gulping down amino acid concoctions to replace these lost amino acids, but I discourage this practice since most are high in free glutamic acid, which can produce the same damage as MSG." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.) "Theoretically, ingesting "infected" tissues of dead animals can spread mad cow disease. Several cases have been diagnosed in England and across Europe, and as a result, hundreds of thousands of cattle have been killed and their carcasses burned. Gelatin vitamin capsules, glandular supplements, and supplements containing cow parts have also become suspect. Vitamin manufacturers are switching to vegetable capsules and people are avoiding animal-based products." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)
