  • Something we all need to know about

    Starts off a little long on the Kuru topic, then progresses nicely to what I wanted to read about which is the CJD. It's too bad there is very little awareness of this disease that takes a person from a pillar of health to gone in 6 months. I had a relative die from CJD just last year, they were unable to identify the source of his CJD which is why I'm reading this book to learn more. Very captivating.

I recommend Deadly Feast by Richard Rhodes from everyone to read. Our government is cannibalizing us through our toilet to tap drinking water. They liquefy dead bodies and pour it down the drain. This will increase cancer death rates and may start the next pandemic of pyron "mad cow" disease. I am sure they will come up ...

  • Good read

    Learned a lot Reading this book. Some of the rendering plant practices are down right gruesome. Human placenta mixed in with animal offal at rendering plants to make supplemental animal feed. WHAT! If you get one of the brain diseases this books discusses you are a goner and it won’t be pretty.
