How Serious is the Threat of Mad Cow Disease?

Three UC Davis agricultural experts debate the seriousness of mad cow disease in a discussion sponsored by the Institute of Governmental Affairs. The speakers include Dean Cliver, a national expert on mad cow disease and a professor of veterinary medicine, Food and Safety; Daniel Sumner, an agricultural economist who directs the UC Agricultural Issues Center and an expert on the international beef trade and potential effects of embargoes; and José Bervejillo, an agricultural economist at the Agricultural Issues Center with expertise in the policies and economics of cattle diseases and the international beef market.

Yes, there is proof that American beef products are BSE infected. There is solid evidence. There are also over 600,000 misdiagnosed cased of BSE related disease in humans. This estimate is for North America and South America combined. The common misdiagnosis is for CJD and Alzheimer's Disease.

US beef products are still banned in certain countries. South Korea rioted at the proposal to lift the ban on US beef. There soon will be an epidemic of BSE related disease in the world. Mad Cowboy!

More then 500 people die alone from MCD or BSE alone in American. Believe you me people, that when an autopsy is shown that a person died from HEP.C, there's a 12% chance it was from BSE. HEP.C and BSE have the same strategic fundamentals in the late growing stages untill death. Making the DNA and deadly bacteria germ undetectable.

To my knowledge and understanding in the human bio and studying an immense amount towards the animal medical research fundamentals, Mad Cow decease or BSE was founded only in the lower economical states in the US. But the farmers understated the threat and still distributed infected meat. A spread like infection plagued through the normality of the rest of US by 1902. What ever media said about the deaths about BSE is untrue...
