Re: Mad Cow disease & pesticides (Organophosphate)
CategoriesHere is a classic "expert" response to the question "Insecticide Causes Mad Cow Disease?" It seems, the experts never have to provide evidence of their views (beliefs'), however, those questioning them simply can never provide sufficient evidence! Any suspicions of a connection due to Organophosphates and their neuro-toxicity is summarily ignored - hardly conducive to a fair scientific inquiry or follow up...
Translation: Gi, if we the "experts" have not discovered it - then it surely can't be worthy of investigation, after all we, ARE the experts - regardless of any outside contrary views and/or data.
Aren't these the smatterings of the self serving peer review process? See the "The Farce of Physics" on how scientific the scientists really are. They can easily put religion to shame!

Subject: Re: Mad Cow disease & pesticides (Organophosphate)I'm sorry to say that I believe the organophosphate theory to be nonsense.
Likewise with manganese. There are plenty of other reasons to minimize or
avoid the use of these agents, but "causing" BSE is not one of them.

Chemical companies are seeking, in the U.S., non-regulated status for genetically engineered grass. Approval of this, in my opinion, will ensure regular blanket-spraying of lawns with RoundUp (glyphosate), a chemical whose goal is to kill all plant life it comes in contact with. Farmers use it between crops to kill off all other plant growth on their fields. You may have heard of RoundUp Ready (Genetically engineered) soybeans and the... [read more]

These follow up comments on the 'expert' response gives a pretty sad commentary on scientific leadership that all of us treasure so highly.... Chris Gupta "Science became an educated cadaver of thought, above which congregate expert players. If the encyclopedia of the ignorance of the acknowledged authorities in the history were to be published, it would number many fat volumes. Nothing will interest scientists anymore. They are like oxen which... [read more]

Thanks Del, this further supports the Manganese connection to the posts on Coenzyme Q10 Parkinson's disease and Insecticide Causes Mad Cow Disease? "The new work proves that the prions can bond with manganese in animal feeds or mineral licks. These manganese prions cause the neurological degeneration seen in BSE." "Worse still, the prion is then partial to bond with manganese and become a 'rogue' prion. A chain reaction whereby rogue... [read more]
