    Extractions: (Conspiracy Nation, 6/21/03) A scientific report by the National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS) gives a down-to-earth explanation for the mysterious, decades-long cattle mutilation phenomena. The NIDS report is available in pdf format at http://216.128.67.116/pdf/cattledeaths_tse_epidemic.pdf The report is not overly technical and readership is encouraged. What follows here in Conspiracy Nation is a layman's interpretation of the NIDS report. Prior to 1957, D. Carleton Gajdusek had travelled extensively throughout the world, doing work for the U.S. Army. He studied diseases "of military importance." In 1957, Gajdusek was in New Guinea studying "Kuru" disease among the primitive Fore tribe. Kuru disease belongs to the category of Transmisible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) diseases (further explanation below). Gajdusek believed Kuru originated from cannibalism amongst the Fore tribe. In 1958, Gajdusek began sending autopsied Kuru brains to Dr. Joe Smadel at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The autopsied Kuru brains migrated from NIH to Fort Detrick, Maryland. In the 1960s, the Kuru disease was tested in multiple species, including chimpanzees, gibbons, mink, goats, and sheep. These animals were injected with human kuru brain extracts. In the late 1960s, things began to go wrong: Kuru-type diseases migrated from controlled lab settings and began infecting the wild and domesticated general animal population.

    Extractions: Figure 1. The multidimensional sequence space defines all possible sequences of amino acids. Among all possible sequences nature selected only those (about 350,000 sequences total) that fold and carry certain functions. How big is the fraction of amyloidogenic proteins and how many proteins possess specific features of prions are questions of fundamental interest. Research in my lab is focused on the molecular mechanism of the conformational transitions of the prion and non-prion proteins and address basic issues of protein folding. They include the possibility of forming distinct long-lived states within the same primary structure, the position of the native state versus the abnormal states in the energetic landscape, and the overall complexity of the energy landscape of folding. Our previous studies revealed that the folding of the prion protein (PrP) to its native a-helical conformation is under kinetic rather than thermodynamic control (Figure2). We found that abnormal b-sheet rich isoform is thermodynamically more stable than the native a-helical isoform. The conformational transition from the a-PrP to the b-PrP is separated by a large energetic barrier that is associated with unfolding and with a higher order kinetic process of oligomerization. Although the b-PrP is thermodynamically more stable than the a-PrP, the process of conformational transition is prevented over the protein's lifetime because of high energetic barrier. Thus, to avoid formation of non-native forms and to optimize the efficacy of the native folding pathway, thermodynamic and kinetic parameters should be subjects of natural evolution.

    Extractions: by Douglas Gasner On Christmas night, in 1891, a little girl lay dying of diphtheria in a Berlin clinic. Dr Emil von Behring injected an experimental antitoxin derived from the diphtheria bacillus into the child. The girl's swift recovery seemed a miracle. Within three years, 20,000 children in Berlin had been inoculated with a vaccination against diphtheria. For this remarkable achievement Behring was awarded the first Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1901. Along with a Japanese scientist, Shibasaburo Kitasato who was unfortunately left out of the Prize Behring showed that a substance called antikoper could protect the body against bacteria. That substance is now known as antibody, and Behring used it to turn the tide against the child-killer diphtheria. Experimenting first on guinea pigs, which were to become the prototypical research animal, Behring found that after being given injections with weakened diphtheria germs, the guinea pigs' blood manufactured a substance to combat the toxins an antitoxin. Behring injected this into other guinea pigs that had been exposed to full-strength diphtheria. They did not succumb to the disease, proving Behring's theory that toxins could be neutralized. For the rest of the century the course of immunology was determined by the work of Paul Ehrlich and Elie Metchnikoff, the second of only two Russians who have won Nobel Prizes in Physiology and Medicine (the first went to Ivan Pavlov in 1904 for showing how the digestive system worked). Metchnikoff discovered the second half of the immune story: that white blood cells could fight bacteria. Ehrlich, who perfected the diphtheria antitoxin, proposed that bacterial toxins are bound to receptors on the surface of certain cells in the bloodstream, and in this lock-and-key fashion are "grabbed up" and taken out of action.

    Extractions: @import "/c/style.css"; @import "/c/style.css"; When medical researcher D. Carleton Gajdusek first visited Papua New Guinea in 1957, he found hundreds of Fore tribespeople dying from a mysterious disease they called kuru. Eventually he prepared a traveling exhibit on the disease, which was seen by an American pathologist who thought it might be related to his own work with sheep that had died from a disease called scrapie. From there and over the course of decades, scientists would eventually find a host of similarly related diseases across species and continents: kuru and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans, scrapie in sheep, BSE in cows, Chronic Wasting Disease in deer and elk, and transmissible mink encephalopathy in mink.

    Extractions: British researchers had just identified a second case of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) transmitted through a blood transfusion. The UK Medical Research Council is set to launch a trial of potential vCJD treatments, but there are no such trials in the US. A report released last winter by the National Academy of Sciences says the US research program on prion diseases is "small, aging, and inadequately funded." The NIH quickly responded that the lab's closure is meant to address those concerns, not exacerbate them. The Laboratory for Central Nervous System Studies, founded in the 1960s, was narrowly focused on the transmissibility and infectiousness of prion diseases, says Eugene Major, acting director of basic neuroscience programs at the US National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.

    Extractions: Reviewed by Kira Sampson This is not a book for the squeamish or weak of stomach. Right away, on page one of Chapter One (entitled "I Eat You"), the reader is treated to a detailed, clinical description of cannibalism. "What does cannibalism have to do with me?" you ask. "I’m a vegetarian!" Well, it was the first clue in a mystery which began in the 1950's and which even today has not been completely solved. Deadly Feasts reads like a whodunit, beginning with a mysterious disease called "kuru" (koo-roo) which primarily affected the Fore ("foray") women and children of New Guinea who practiced cannibalism (the Fore men did not). The classic symptoms of kuru were "one month of unsteady gait followed by tremors and athetosis [continuous slow movement of hands and feet] and blurred speech in the second month and ... in the third month almost complete incapacitation." Death was not quick, nor kind: The victims lost the ability to swallow, and thirsted or starved to death — that is, if pneumonia or infected bedsores didn’t take them first. The brains of kuru victims, when autopsied, revealed a sponge-like pattern of holes, almost as if eaten away from the inside.
