  • I'm learning about this disease. But it's less common now as cannibalism is prohibited.

  • woow imagine manupulating this disease with toxoplasmose and making a super disease :P would be like zombies xD

  • nipple slip 0:19

  • Saggy tits

  • ISAW THIS ONCE IN BANOI.....

  • what the fuck is going on?

  • geez. no matter what color we're still humans. dont be such racists

  • ohhhhhhhhhhh

  • its always the black who orignated diseas

  • @franzken lol ever heard of the black plague use google educate urself LOL indigenous people in north america didn't get diseases until Europeans came over.

  • @TheZombieOrgy this guy (franzken) is such an idiot.. XD

  • @franzken yeah yeah...i wish that was true

  • استغفراللہ 

  • i find these easy to wank to

  • i do not know how i end up in this dark part of youtube... u start of looking at talking animals and bam! ur lookin at cannabilism O_0

  • lol i tot he was sriching his dck lolol

  • ? Hypocalcemia

  • dead island

  • What's the cause of this disease ?

  • @SmilJan5 actually it comes from practicing cannibalism...look it up! there was a special on this not too long ago...very similar to madcow

  • @SmilJan5 Infected brain ingestion of death people

  • in africa you die nevermind what the disease, coz hospitals are falling apart, coz all governments are corrupt, nobody cares a F

  • move to my country my brothers & my sisters, i'll give you food for free! where's you goverment?

  • Damn :(

  • she has nice tits but so what and she also died in this film ^^

  • Comment removed

  • this is not the cow disease this is somthing neurolog

  • are they girls or guys??

  • A side effect of cannibalism.

  • please don't give any bad comments,they also human,we should do some medical help this is our duty.they are innocent tribes. but don't forget they are our ancestors.

  • @acmsindia maybe yours nigger

  • @acmsindia I know she is dying but i still would... you know wait til the witch doctor left for a lunch break & then slide my stiff pole up her asshole...

  • Fuckin cannibals they must have been eating monkey/ape brains so ha fuckin ha you dirty bastards!

  • he nervous system got fucked up...

  • thumbs up if you're in the Underworld of YouTube

  • Kuru comes from eating human brains.

  • the most fucked up video i ever saw

  • This is soo sad. My heart goes to all affected by this or similar diseases. Our science is quite capable of diminishing these events, unfortunately slow to reach the poor

  • @sirbata are you really that fucking dumb?so you are all for cannibalism?you really want science to fig out a cure for this?here's a clue,don't eat your kind lmao.ignorance is bliss i guess...

  • @sirbata Actually Kuru only affected these isolated tribes in Papa New Guinea and it's because they practiced cannibalism that it came into existence and was passed around. It stopped once the cannibalism stopped too.

  • Provavelmente infectados por prion, devido a ingestao de carne crua deteriorada.

  • Monkey see monkey do....

  • Wait so how different do species have to be without prions being produced? Like say if people ate Chimpanzee bush meat they probably won't get Kuru right?

  • @wssher Yes!

  • @cowdog1967 Or no! as closer the relationship is, to what consumed it, the closer is the risk off getting the desiases!

  • No, it is a neurogical disorder, and in that tribe, it is spread by their ritual of CANNIBALISM! It's not mad cow disease!!!

  • Negritos do the the darndest things.

  • Just remember, this shit could happen to you or anyone you know and love, Just by eating a freeking hamburger, and this isn't a laughing or joking matter.

  • Comment removed

  • it's sad to see someone in this condition, but what's more sad is some asshole who says for the 100th time this week, "im in the wierd part of youtube again how'd I even get here", FUCK I hate that stupid retarded over used, and at this point played out SHIT for a comment, you got here because you clicked here plain and simple, stupid. And this video to me really isn't a place where some asshole should try to be funny for some stupid thumbs up seriously people thumbs down that shit EVERYWHERE!

  • im in the weird part of youtube ,how did i even end up here !! -.-

  • @0xxsapxx0 same by me -.-´

  • @0xxsapxx0 i used to see this comment once a week or so. now i've seen it 3 times in the last hour. now we and you are on that side of yourtube...leaving

  • @0xxsapxx0 Because you a pervert who wants to watch naked people.

  • @Rohit84up that maybe u not me, i was watchin some stppie videos only n got here .

  • You can only catch this disease from a person infected with kuru. The brain and brain stem mostly harbor the infectious proteins (prions) that when eaten eventually cause these symptoms. Just for the record the Fore people were not killers. They believed that when they die, they should pass on certain body parts to their loved ones to aid them in different ways. ie; you have poor vision, so perhaps your uncle (who has great vision) will donate his eyes to you upon his death. TO EACH HIS OWN

  • @JamesIreland So if you can only catch it from a person infected with it, where did it start? Kinda begs the question, don't you think?

  • this is nature punisment then

  • vai jaan aita ki video deklam

  • Hopefully they didn't eat her :)

  • I consider 9/11 a form of cannibalism!

  • @aburgheim This is something that could be not so far off!!!!

  • is there no vaccine against this illness?

  • A crackhhead and some nasty tits. I really need therapy coz i keep ending up looking at weird stuff

  • that is what they call menijaitis, am sorry for this words but humanliy i pity her, i think she should be laid to rest if her parents wish so

  • The cure is to eat white man's flesh hahaha tell them to eat only the white man with the camera!

  • kuru is the rarest disease in the world and only affects cannibals from the from a certain area in Papa New Guinea... so heavy. Just for clarification some tribes in PNG eat human flesh in rituals etc.....still freaky but :/

  • its says in cannibal tribes were males eat the fleshy part while women and children eat the remains like the brain tissue and the fatty part [of their cannibalized tribe or their tribe's enemy] were prion most concentrated.

  • There are many reasons to believe that AIDS and Kuru have been created as bioweapons for genocidal purposes. Dr. Len Horowitz has exposed this through his research in works including the book "Emerging Viruses: Aids and Ebola," and video documentaries such as "Healing Codes for the Biological Apocalypse."

    Also it is curious that porn clips along with some somewhat racist clips are presented in the thumbnails to the right.

  • @noitv This has nothing to do with man-made disease. The reason for mad cow disease is that cows bread for meat production was given feed made of slaughterhouse waste of cow flesh, in essence - they were involuntary cannibals. When a spices eats its own spices it eats its own protein structure, this leads to the creation of Priones.

    Priones attacks the nervous system of mammals, in humans it manifests in Creutzfeldt–Jakobs disease or KURU.

    Kuru is the result of Cannibalism, nothing else.

  • @DemonCisco Yes the media has reported that animal remains being fed to livestock is the cause of Mad Cow Disease, but studies show that Prion Crystals are fungal in nature and actually grown in grains, which is why some wild grazing animals have come down with Mad Cow Disease-type sicknesses, as well as some humans who are vegans coming down with such diseases despite never eating meat for many years. The documentary "Healing Codes for the Biological Apocalypse" discusses this issue in detail.

  • @DemonCisco Bullshit...

  • @DemonCisco Incorrect. Kuru is the result of prions. It's spread is often the result of cannibalism. There is no evidence that the cannibalism creates the prions. Prion diseases exist in species that do not engage in cannibalism. Prions may actually predate most other forms of life on earth.

  • @MrMZaccone And were do the prions come from? The prions are not something that is a natural in nature because if they where diseases like this would be much more prevalent in nature,but they are not. No one can dispute the close connection between cannibalism => prions => disease(Kuru, Creutzfeldt Jacobs). Humans who are not cannibals but get the disease have most probably eaten a animal who has eaten its own species.

  • @DemonCisco Yes, prions are indeed natural and prion diseases (although not known to be such at the time) have been documented at least as far back as the 1700's. Cannibalism simply spreads the disease and is neither the cause nor the origin of prions. Prions that are not the result of transmission have been shown to be caused by a combination of mutation and genetic predisposition. Stop spouting idiotic, bullshit guesswork. It's a disservice to everyone.

  • @MrMZaccone The mutation that creates prions happens when an animal eats its own species, because that animal digests the protein structure that is its own protein structure. In the wild animals are sometimes forced to eat its own species because of lack of food for instance during long cold winters. Today the main reason for prions are that stock animals bread for human consumption are being fed with feed made out of slaughterhouse waist.

  • @DemonCisco Really? Perhaps you can suggest a mechanism for that ... No?  Didn't think so. Prions are a natural occurrence and you're making shit up. The only thing cannibalism does regarding prions is spread them among a greater number of individuals that would otherwise have been unexposed to them. AGAIN, prion diseases have been documented since at least the 1700's without any cannibalism involved so ... You're full of shit.

  • Comment removed

  • @DemonCisco ROFLMAO! I'm a "dumb motherfucker"? You're the one making shit up with no science of any kind to back it up. You're hilarious. You can't even suggest a mechanism for your hypothesis. Why would digesting "the protein structure that is its own protein structure" cause a mutation? You have no clue because you made it up. The histories of scrapie and non-variant CJD falsify your hypothesis completely. Go get a brain.

  • @MrMZaccone Yep, you really are a 'dumb fucker' whether it's your mother or otherwise. You came up with no other info other than verbal abuse, so you are dumb. Kuru is transmitted from one human to another when the recipient eats the furu infected brain of another human. It is mainly transmitted through women of the tribe because they are the ones who normally eat the brains of the dead person in their canabalistic practices. Often it's family members who are eaten.

  • @kanakaken And there's nothing new in your post so what does that make you? Unlike DC you've not presented anything but good supportable information so I have no argument with you. Now, What's your problem? Do you, for some reason, have a problem with me jumping on someone circulating incorrect, unsupported nonsense, or are you just trolling?

  • @MrMZaccone I'm not really sure about the 'troll' thing.Isn't a troll someone who abuses another for no other reason than to stir up shit,& the information they use is probably bullshit?The reason I jumped in is I know nothing of priones and it sounded feasable that there is some relativity.I probably shouldn't, in hind sight,have said what I did,it's obvious that DC from Sweden with his/her poor English skills is the troll here.I am unaware of newness or otherwise of my post, Sorry

  • @kanakaken No problem. I just don't like it when people spread inaccurate information that can get in the way of the RIGHT information. There is ZERO evidence I know of, that spongiform encephalopathy can arise from cannibalism without it being present in the source specimen. It can however, arise in families from genetic predisposition and it can be transmitted by eating infected animals even even across species lines.

  • @MrMZaccone I lived in PNG for almost 2yrs and had heard of this disease then.I learnt more of it when an Australian doctor lived with the Fore people there and spent a good part of his life with them trying to find a cure &/or it's source.He determined that it was because they ate their infected relatives & clanspeople & it was mostly transmitted to women who were the ones who ate the infected brains.The word Kuru cames from the Fore language & it means to shake.Cure=abstinance only

  • They are not sure of it's origins,probably from eating an infected animal.

    I went there in 1968 and it was common knowledge then.I just looked it up & found, "Kuru is believed to be caused by prions and is related to CJD.Ref.Collinge J, Whitfield J, McKintosh E, et al.June 2006."Kuru in the 21st century,an acquired human prion disease with very long incubation periods".Lancet 367 (9528) 2068–74.Trembling is present in most all patients with transmissible spongiform encephalopathy

  • @MrMZaccone I hope this works, type into your search engine this address; med.monash.edu.au/news/2009/mi­chael-alpers-biography It's about Professor Michael Alpers of Adelaide who became a research doctor for The Dept of Public Health in PNG.Alpers did all the years of field work taking samples suspecting what was proven in the lab by Dr Carleton Gajdusek of USA who was the one to recieve the Nobel prize for proving Kuru the was first human prion disease demonstrated to be infectious

  • @MrMZaccone Let me guess...you're a cattle rancher aren't you?

    This has been proven a long time ago. When ever you have a cannibalistic behavior within any same group, human or animal, thees kind of diseases will occur, and thees diseases are much less prevalent in nature were there are no cannibalistic behaviour. Of course there will be mutations if a species eats it's own protein structure.

  • @DemonCisco ROFLMAO! No, I'm not a cattle rancher. Now let me guess ... You're a raving paranoid, aren't you? These kinds of diseases occur even without cannibalism. Cannibalism merely spreads them to a much greater number of individuals than would normally be affected. Can you present some evidence for your claims about a species "consuming its own protein structure"? No? Then stop making an ass of yourself and STOP SPREADING LIES!

  • Comment removed

  • @dooalittledippsy Actually, I CAN! Since cannibalistic behavior is common in a variety of species NONE of which exhibit any evidence of such mutation or prion disease, this is not just strong but nearly IRREFUTABLE evidence that such a connection DOES NOT EXIST! There's your evidence ... choke on it, Dumb-ass!

  • Comment removed

  • @dooalittledippsy I don't expect anyone to take my word for it. Least of all someone who doesn't understand the word "evidence". Try this. Go to Wikipedia, search cannibalism(zoology) and read the article there with more than 30 citations supporting what I just said. M'kay Skippy? Or ... go find your own evidence to the contrary WITH CITATIONS! Or ... SHUT THE FUCK UP!

  • @MrMZaccone Why so mad.You start shit by calling people names!Dont get angry, prove it mrknowitall yourself on this vidright here!!!you are the one trying to debunk this guys information!Wiki is not always correct as it relies on meatheads like yourself for common knowldge. You are getting mad because you cant prove dick and that you are just a common troller like myself!! have a good day Your a goof and I will delete all the crap you send me without reading it.

  • @dooalittledippsy What makes you think I'm mad? Do you have any evidence that I'm mad? No? The Wiki article I'm referring to has cited references. That should calm your fears about meatheads unless you look in the mirror. I'm also betting you don't delete this response. I'm betting you can't resist trolling some more. All I asked this guy for was a proposed mechanism. He couldn't even provide that. So much for your "meat head" theory.

  • @MrMZaccone What you said, However: cannibalism is around and its among every

    country and color. It does end up looking like a cancer though.

  • @DemonCisco Do you really think I'm trying to make a case in favor of cannibalism? You're an idiot. Cannibalism is not a good thing. Not in humans and not in cattle, do I make myself clear? Another bad thing is IDIOTS like you, spreading unsubstantiated BULLSHIT! which clouds the real issue and keeps people from getting to the TRUTH! Should you choose to continue to do so, I'll do everything in my power to make you out to be the destructive FOOL that you obviously are.

  • @MrMZaccone My first comment on this issueis is the top-comment on this thread, and judging by the thumbs up on that comment I'm not the only one seeing the close connection between cannibalism and prions. You're just a troll, have a nice life dummy.

  • @DemonCisco You appear to think that science is a popularity contest. This just continues to demonstrate how fucking stupid you are.

  • @MrMZaccone

    Zing! Top comments get thumbed up because of trending idiots who rarely even read, or understand, what they say continuing to "like" them. If this is how we are now going to substantiate scientific theory, as DemonCisco seems to be suggesting, then I want off this fucking ride, now.

  • @lesterclaypool1 EXACTLY! 

  • @DemonCisco Connection? yes, I've also mentioned that cannibalism SPREADS prions, so there is definitely a connection. Causal link? Not one, anywhere, any time, of any kind. Or perhaps you'd like to demonstrate differently ... or even, as I've suggested before, propose a mechanism. I'll be waiting, with ill concealed laughter, while you try.

  • @DemonCisco good info dude! You're like the brainbox of youtube, kudos!

  • Comment removed

  • @DemonCisco WTF! I give you a genuine compliment and you call me an ass hole?! Really classy dude. I might not be as intelligent as you but I have a lot more class. Sayonara.

  • @vorkutaman I'm sorry, my bad, I've had a discussion with another person who ticked me off and I thought you were that person...sorry.

  • @vorkutaman It's actually not good info ... it's bullshit.

  • @noitv Len Horowitz is a shit-stirring money-maker tricking people such as yourself. Kuru is almost certainly to do with the eating of brains of deceased relatives - the tribe did this until it was banned by the tribal leaders. Since the ban, Kuru has dissappeared. Please educate yourself.

  • het is ook in nederland niet geneesbaar.

  • This is what happens when you eat infected human brains.

  • @yosh237 Or infected cow brains etc.

  • poor woman :'(

  • i WONDER IF CANNABIS OIL COULD HELP HER JUST A LITTLE....

  • Lost for words...my heart is in pain.

  • i bet the camera man and the production had the money to take her to the hospital for treatment. instead they are taking videos for free

  • @J3ANP3T3R Unfortuartely, Kuru is letal.

  • @J3ANP3T3R Cynical.You know othing about the video recording person. There is no treatment for prion diseases. The best hope, maybe, are protein stabilising drugs.

  • @sunaru1 i meant help them out in any way in return for the video ? but yeah i dont know the camera man so i reserve the right to give a free comment. thumbs up to you

  • ESTO NO ES EL EFECTO DE LAS VACAS LOCAS?

  • i jerked off to this,.,..,is that normal

  • Comment removed

  • O LORD:::::::::::

  • feel like a dead island

  • @williambeecher....DAMN!! You tell him..

  • dat ass

  • GOD showed them no mercy for eating a human!! this is the message to the people ! killing humans to feed them is against the will of GOD.

  • Comment removed

  • @immatruthteller stfu about your god, no one cares.

  • peace for you

  • nice tits

  • Niggers of the Pacific

  • can someone explain why is the girl is like that? it's disease? Because some of other comment saying something about cannibalism and i don't see it.

  • @haidangkieu1 it is called Kuru disease as mentioned in the title. This disease is transmitted by consumption of tissues containing prion protein. It eventually leads to loss of mental ability and motor function.

  • @bundy5686 thanks man.

  • @haidangkieu1 It's called Kuru, it's like CJD or mad cow. It was their culture to eat the bodies of the deceased to return the energy to the people. Women and children were supposedly more likely to get it because men got the cuts of meat they wanted first and they were left with the brain and such.

  • @t0ej0b Holly Balls. Dammm and i'm hear watching hannibal movie and think that was scary, this whole tribe do it because of belief.

  • thats whats happened when you eat your friend

  • wow fucking useless people we have here...jesus christ

  • How did I end up here...

  • @StrikeScape I was thinking the same thing. We should invent a word that means "while in the pursuit of a particular subject on Youtube to suddenly, through no real conscious act of your own, end up looking at a Youtube page that not only doesn't have a thing to do with the subject you were investigating, but is either bizzare, digusting, gory, violent, or x-rated, ie. going from looking at Christmas tree decorations to human disembowelment in under 2 minutes. Let me know if you come up with

  • Quit eating people. Oh wait silly me, i forgot, its a part of their culture.

  • @Micahthetatter she is dying...

  • @malucorno whats your point

  • thats so sad :(

  • wait... this isnt pork!

  • BOOBIES

    

  • Comment removed

  • Aztecs practiced ritual canibalism of the leg muscles or arm muscles but they didnt eat brain tissue or other organs, just muscles. Indeed they didnt presented kuru or other brain damage.

  • damn thats a shame!!!

  • poor thing :(

  • This somehow gave me a boner.

  • Men did eat parts of the body though, the men recieved the prime cuts of the body, whilst the women and children ate the brains and organs, Kuru is more prevalent in the brain, from a protein called Prions. More women and children died then men in a epidemic occuring around 1979 or it might have been 1969

  • Comment removed

  • Tits on youtube?

  • they had a practice of ceremoniously eating a small part of a deceased persons brain and unknowingly transmitted a form of brain disease to themselves look it up

  • KILL HER SHE'S INFECTED!!!

  • Ignorance must really be fun. People DESERVE to die just because they believe in different traditions? They are practicing among their own people, if they had a problem with it, they wouldn't allow it.

    It's amazing how WESTERN CULTURE has no flaws that prove to be harmful, like unprotected premarital sex, illicit drug use... I'm sure some cultures frown upon that. But being so high, mighty and western WE HAVE NO FLAWS yet possess the right to chastize any- and EVERYONE else.

  • @britrob24 Very well said. Our culture stinks big time.

  • @britrob24 id rather have premarital sex than chomp brains like a zomb but thats just me. i dont know how much of my western heritage effects my decision, prolly all of it but eh, im programmed.

  • @shamantrainer I am not even western (mideast) and i agree with this...

  • @shamantrainer Prolly? 

  • @britrob24 we are one of the most flawed societies, but the most dangerous part is that they are ignored, but it still manages to take precedence over other cultures, they developed kuru as a result of ritualistically eating their dead, we developed creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, by eating mass-produced livestock intentionally sustained on MBM because its cheaper

  • @britrob24 might i point oit that cows get mad cow disease from cannibalising on (offcource manmade) cow dna so does this mean that she got that disease from cannibalism?

  • @jessenen yes

  • @jessenen Does eating one's own kind of DNA cause the prions ( misfolded protein that causes Kuru and Mad Cow Disease ) or is it eating infected meat that spreads the disease?

  • @MultiWingnut It's caused by prion protein getting into the nerve system

  • @sunaru1 No, what I mean is what causes the first ever Prion to misfold?. Is it cannibalism, or is it because of some random mutation?

  • @MultiWingnut The latest theories suggest that either of these can cause a misfolding. Some prion diseases als have a genetic component.

  • @sunaru1 Just to make sure that I understand you correctly, I'll rephrase that. So the disease is GENERATED in the first ever case not only by random mutation, but also by some mechanism triggered by cannibalism, while it also SPREADS by both consuming infected meat and also genetically? Thanks.

  • @MultiWingnut There are several ways the first protein may misfold - pontaneous, mutation or a genetic component. Cannibalism can lead to transmission of all hse misfolded proteins. Prion diseases are very starnge.

  • @sunaru1 OK. So if I eat (hypothetically, LOL) another person who doesn't have Kuru, my chances of getting Kuru is the same as a person who didn't cannibalize?

  • @MultiWingnut Good question. I don't know.

  • she is a human being... just like yous sister, your mother or your daughter assholes
