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.
