Many US Alzheimer's Victims Actually Die From Mad Cow/CJD
By David A. Kidd with Maribeth Abrams
Excerpted From the Vegetarian Voice 12-27-03

From: "tesla" 10 Jan 2004

Currently four million Americans are diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. The percentage of cases is on the rise with solid research showing that there are about 360,000 individuals newly diagnosed each year. At Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania at Pittsburgh, researchers recently studied the brains of people who died of Alzheimer's disease (46 in the Yale case and 54 in the Pittsburgh study). Surprisingly, the autopsies respectively showed that 13 percent and five percent of the dead were actually CJD cases misdiagnosed as Alzheimer's disease. In a third (smaller) study published in the Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience (1995), investigators reported that three out of 12 patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease were found to have had CJD when autopsied. It should be noted CJD symptoms may be remarkably similar to those of Alzheimer's disease. There are no accurate figures for the total number of U.S. Alzheimer's deaths each year, simply because it doesn't usually get reported as the cause of death. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) reported only 22,725 Alzheimer's deaths in 1998. However, a spokesperson for the National Alzheimer's Association, in a recent interview, agreed that the actual number could easily be 100,000, or even has high as 400,000 per year. Because Alzheimer's patients usually die within 8 to 10 years, she agreed that the CDC numbers must be grossly understated. If new research supports that approximately 10 percent of all Alzheimer's disease related deaths are in fact misdiagnosed CJD cases, then 10,000 to 40,000 CJD deaths will suddenly appear in America each year. That would be an epidemic.

High Times for Alzheimers (Excerpted)
www.cannabisnews.com/news/thread14254.shtml
The brain of an Alzheimer's sufferer contains abnormal deposits called "tangles" and "plaques." Associated with these deposits are proteins, or bits of them, called tau and amyloid-beta (A) respectively. Healthy tau plays a structural role in brain cells, but there is good evidence that in Alzheimer's disease, it becomes festooned with atoms of phosphorus and oxygen, like lights on a Christmas tree. It is thought to be this that tips tau into tangles. Milton has evidence that something similar happens to A in plaques, and that this, in turn, makes it toxic to brain cells. In research to be published in the journal Neuroscience Letters, and which he will also present at next month's neurobiology of aging conference in Florida, he reports that cannabinoids - cannabis-like compounds that occur naturally in the brain - can stop A killing cells.

Hemp grain is the most nutritionally complete seed on the planet for human consumption. Each hemp seed contains 25% protein. This protein is more easily digestible than the protein in soybeans because it contains a perfect ratio of essential fatty acids (EFA's). EFA's are important for strengthening your immune system and protecting you from disease. Fish oil and flax oil are also high in EFA's, but hemp contains the most perfect ratio of EFA's for human consumption. Hemp grain is also high in iron and calcium and is an excellent source of dietary fiber.

Mercury poison or hemp oil?
www.hemp.co.uk/html/mercury.html

* The hemp seed is the highest of any plant in essential amino acids and essential fatty acids. These essential fatty acids are responsible for our immune response...and contribute tomore disease resistance. (Hempseed Nutrition by Lynn Osburn).

* Hempseed was used to treat nutritional deficiencies brought on by tuberculosis, a severe nutrition blocking disease that causes the body to waste away. (Czechoslovakia Tubercular Nutritional Study, 1955.)

* Hemp seed protein more closely resembles that of the human body than soy; it is also easier to digest. Hemp contains a richer source of essential fatty acid oils than soy. These oils prevent heart disease and build the immune system. Hemp also resists UV-B light, which is a kind of sunlight that is blocked by the ozone layer. Soy beans do not take UV-B light very well. If the ozone layer were to deplete by 16%, which by some estimates is very possible, soy production would fall by 25-30%. We may have to grow hemp or starve -- and it won't be the first time that this has happened. Hemp has been used to "bail out" many populations in time of famine.
