No one wants you to know this, but it's the truth: Radiation exposure is one of the many ways healthy proteins misfold into toxic shapes, and create infectious prions.



environmental insults, either physical (heat, pressure, radiation) or chemical (heavy metals, arsenate, toxins), also cause proteins to misfold into toxic shapes.


Once proteins "misfold" and become infectious, they spread simply by touching other, healthy proteins. And prions can't be killed because they're not alive, so standard sterilization and decontamination methods leave them intact, or worse, cause them to mutate and create a new strain. ..It's a real problem that's only now coming to light.



It's concerning as a clinician to hear that patients are continuing to be notified they might have been exposed to contaminated instruments when we thought several years ago this problem was solved…”

…Unlike viruses and bacteria, prions are extremely hardy, and cannot be destroyed by normal decontamination methods, such as autoclaving of surgical instruments.



Recently, the mainstream news also reported prion-contaminated fertility drugs and the EPA announced that prions would be defined as pests under FIFRA to enable monitoring of blood and urine derived products as well as dental and surgical instruments, tissue and more. For the first time, steps will be taken to screen prions from blood products, tissues for transplant, medical devices and etc. Apparently, the only way to do that (legally) was to define "prion" as a "pest" under FIFRA - in order to monitor and regulate sterilation and screening. [Note: This regulation is not implemented yet.]

Last fall we learned that any kind of general surgery done with re-used instruments commonly results in prion-related dementia within 10-20 years - virtually any invasive medical procedure results in a prion disease within 10 to 20 years. Note: The studies only look for CJD and BSE prions, but NOT diseases and disorders that involve different disease-causing prions, and cause so-called "conformational" and "protein mis-folding" conditions.

Surgery Linked to Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease


…with a few exceptions, the risk of having contracted the sporadic form of CJD manifests itself at least 20 years after having undergone an operation.

…We might, therefore, ask ourselves if other types of motor neuron diseases can be transmitted through surgery and be latent for decades, such as those where risk factors, particularly physical professions and activities or certain sporting activities, for example, which are more likely to lead to surgery, have already been indicated.

…the most conclusive pattern that the study presents, … is that the onset of CJD occurs approximately 10 years after an operation on the retina with reused equipment.



All things considered, apparently the truth about prions is coming out now for good reason: to take the heat off the Nuclear Industry, and share it with the Agricultural Industries.

I am extremely disappointed in our leaders' behavior.

Bait and switch, keep 'em overwhelmed and confused.

The old BSBB gambit.

Hmm. I wonder of all the radiation leaks (Japan, Germany, USA) is why everyone's suddenly pushing euthanasia? .....We already have a chronic disease pandemic, and all those leaks are going to make it much worse.
