[Mark Purdey was the main person to expose the pesticide cause of BSE/Mad Cow disease. He discovered clusters of CJD downwind of large ferromanganese and glass factories in Slovakia; around a missile production plant in Tucson; and around the scene of the Seveso disaster in Milan - where a pesticide factory exploded in 1976.]

Quotes
I'M APPALLED by the unfounded assumptions of 'experts' about the
hyper-infectious nature of the BSE/CJD agent (Mail). Basic evidence suggests
variant CJD didn't arise from eating BSE-affected cattle. Third World
countries imported even greater quantities of the incriminated British meat than
we consumed here, but no cases of vCJD have occurred in those countries. I've
travelled worldwide carrying out analyses of areas with prion diseases, of which
vCJD is one. These diseases increase only in areas with a high manganese/low
copper imbalance. Experiments at
Cambridge and Case Western, Cleveland, universities confirmed my findings that
misshapen prions develop whenever brain cells are exposed to this imbalance.
I found one organophosphate
poured on cows to counteract warble fly and on humans for headlice which
bonded with copper in the brain, starving the prion protein of its copper
partner. When this happens, foreign metals, such as manganese, are more likely
to bond with prions, which can have devastating consequences. Manganese is
increasing in the environment due to its use as a fertiliser and fungicide, a
lead substitute in petrol, and emission from factories. It was fed to UK cattle
in calf milk replacement powder (at levels up to 1,000 times higher than in
normal cow's milk) and as supplements for bone growth. Manganese is also fed to
humans (in health food supplements), deer (for antler growth) and cats and all
have had prion disease. The totalitarian mindset about the origins of prion
diseases betrays an agenda. It's more about global profits for the GM soya
protein empires than about the illusory health risks of animal proteins to
humans.
MARK PURDEY. Taunton.
"The levels of manganese are naturally low in the soils of the Quinaborough area but the point is that the surrounding farmers are spraying on a potent manganese fertiliser several times a year. There is also widespread application of sewage sludge around all the villages that have a variant CJD problem. Manganese is also at a high level in sewage and it becomes air borne during spreading operations. Villages will therefore be breathing in these various manganese substances and taking it straight into their brains via the nasal/olfactory route."--Mark Purdey
Re Manganese
The worst of the things they're doing are the
soy extracts.
Soybeans, naturally, have one of the highest glutamate
levels of any of the plant products. When you hydrolyze it, you release the
glutamate, such as with the soy protein isolates. The glutamate levels
are higher than a lot of what you'll find in other
MSG-containing products, yet the vegetarians are just eating it like it's the
healthiest thing in the world. There was a 25-year
study done, which looked at people who consumed the most
soy products, and they followed them for 25 years and did serial CT scans
of their brain. They found out that the people who
consumed the most soybean products had the greatest incidence of dementia
and brain atrophy. These people are destroying
their nervous system, and I talked to a lot of them who complained of severe
migraine headaches. I said, "Get off the soy," and they do, and that
migraine headache goes away. In addition, you have
very high manganese levels, which is toxic to the very same part of the brain
that produces Parkinson's. You've got a mixture of
toxins with soy products, and the people think they are
eating a healthy, nutritious product. It's destroying their nervous
system, as well as other organs.....I think people
ought to avoid soy products as if they were poison.
