A new report shows how medical propaganda leads to nothing but empty talk and more "studies" into minutiae that will not likely lead to a "cure:"
QUOTE: "...For decades we believed PrP was a unique nerve protein that folded into an abnormal shape and caused prion disease: end of story. This view is no longer accurate," [Professor David Westaway, director of the Centre for Prions and Protein Folding Diseases at the University of Alberta] adds...
"Many facets of a prion disease like BSE are puzzling," Westaway said. "The puzzles include the cause of death of brain cells, the function of normal prion proteins, and the rules governing emergence and spread of prions from animal to animal. We believe the Shadoo protein can give us a fresh purchase on these important questions..." UNQUOTE.
This is a good example of what I consider to be the medical "shell games" being played these days, though I don't think someone like Westway is doing it consciously. Rather, he accepts what he is told by his "superiors" (or reads in a textbook) as the "end of the story," and may not even be aware of alternative explanations that are actually consistent with all of the evidence.
