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 sarika
