this david beckham and she asked and david package dot com
this show is funded mostly by individual membership like the one you can get the
the packing dot com slash membership or getting into the last days of april
it would be fantastic close to get a good question one through the end of the
month we do have that very big announcement that mentioned coming soon
and are really were very back to continue doing what we've been doing
worse than what we plan to continue doing
the minutes of
well let's back up
we have been growing and to continue growing we are going to need more
membership support and and i can't thank everybody who's already signed up enough
but please do go to david packing dot com slash membership
and become a member of that big announcement is uh... days away i would
protect
big big announcement it is pretty big you know we've been you know
dangling in front of people for several weeks now clearly it is coming there
really is
uninfected cal has been found in california that's been infected with mad
cow disease this was a uh... cal carcass that had already uh... uh... passed away
a senior manager with the california rendering company said that a coward
it's hanford california transfer station tested positive for mad cow disease
now dennis what do you think that the device president baker come on these an
ally
he told the a_p_ two-digit the disease was discovered after workers selected
the cow for random sampling methods particularly concerning that this is a
random sample there was no evidence that this cat was sick
so we really don't know
how many calories
that don't get tested may have mad cow disease that you going to be of food
cycle
course no surprise there i was uh... i was watching
one-story uh...
you know has been covering basically every every media outlet and uh...
i remember who was talking but it was someone who was saying that this is an
isolated incident
and that uh... there's no reason to believe any of the cows are infected
really one of the odds the one you randomly yes has it
will mark the anniversary some to believe that any of the cows are not
infected yet this is the one that's been passed right
mad cow disease is a failure of the generative disease in cattle that causes
a spongy degeneration of the brain and spinal cord
the tricky thing about it has a very long incubation period about
thirty-month fit eight years
and it usually affects adult catalytic ph onset of about four to five years
all dreams are equally susceptible and in the u_s_ or rather in the u_k_ which
is the country most effected by mad cow more than a hundred and eighty thousand
cattle have been infected and four point four million had been slaughtered during
this eradication program the typewriter of us ten growth uh... spread of the
disease which is incredible
now is this is this something that is killed off when they meet is is cooked
is mad calcula blocked when the meat is cooked
uh... i don't believe cell i'd think the way mad cow works is that what will that
that's a good question actually the talk is it killed off when the knees cooked
i really don't know we should look that up that's the key point denise i can see
all of that of all tell you more about that i mean i think he has to do with
the count on surviving and just not being able to
get at healthy cow to live to the point of slaughter it then
it being the question after the fact that maybe i'm wrong know that i think
you're right and the first case in north america was in december of nineteen
ninety three from alberta canada and when people say want to do feelings get
mad cow
human uh... mad cow in cattle
seems to cause krug spell jacob disease inhuman
and there's really no generally accepted treatment of c_j_d_ as it's known
the disease is eventually fatal
research continues there's this experimental teenager which was given to
a northern irish teenager
and is named jonathan
this experimental teenager that was given to the seizure an experimental
treatment that was given to a teenager
and the medication is called pan to stand polly self-pity used to treat
interstitial cystitis typically it was infused into the patient's a lateral
ventricle and the brain it didn't actually stopped the disease from
progressing but it was able to at least
slow it down even though brain tissue was continued to be lost so right now it
is is fatal for humans if they do contract mad cow disease are or what
becomes
uh... what becomes c_j_d_ inhuman
and apparently
you cannot cook off this uh... this protein
he can withstand incredibly high temperatures
there's a clinical trial did you find uh...
point out one thing i just saw on the news feed on b_b_c_ news that south
korea is blocking u_s_ beef imports due to this
so it's having an immediate effect
crazy if you were saying it was north korea blocking and i would say i thought
we could offer made to them all right
now will probably be sending them there
the tainted meat that somehow i don't think so
uh... university of california san francisco is running a treatment trial
for sporadic c_j_d_ using quintet cream which is a medicine originally created
for malaria
and pilot studies show quentin cream
permanently cleared abnormal prime on proteins from cell cultures but results
haven't yet been published in a clinical study so that is that there is some
hope about there
this is one of those things that really does uh... concern me
uh... if you have one of these without breaking a finding of a lot of times but
it's very important
see i don't have to worry about this because all of this illness is carried
by animals
yeah uh... which
often uh...
what are the animals eat
whatever many vegetables fertilized with that you're not safe from this as we saw
with the cantaloupe and spinach of food contamination issues that that we had in
the last few years right and we hate to say uh...
that nothing safe but in reality
nothing's really safe is it
well it's a grand outlook
