Although I appreciate your article R2, the test was performed on "HAMSTERS" !!!!!!!!!! What has that got to do with people and cattle? :roll: :wink: :shock: :roll: :wink: :???: :shock: :roll: :wink: :wink: :wink:

Could you USE any more emoticons. GOSH.

The bad news first. BSE is in the blood and the USDA's used "sound sience" to open the border that said it is not.
The good news. A blood test is coming that will allow us to clear this awful stuff up completely.

PMCA uses sound waves to vastly accelerate the process that prions use to convert normal proteins to misshapen infectious forms.

In your haste to disparage the USDA you have forgotten to reveal this discovery was just made available yesterday and has not yet been tested in cattle. I might add that there is no indiation yet that this discovery has has been subjected to review from outside sources. How long do you think your postiton would hold up in a debate?
For the sake of the beef industry and mankind I am hopeful this test will prove to be a success.
Amen. Not to beat a dead horse (black humor here), but you never want to see what this disease does to a person. If we can detect it in the blood, we can prevent its spread to others through surgery, blood/tisse donations.

The real scarey part is that no one has proven that eating meat with misfolded prions will cause anything. All speculation and fear mongering.
What does the detection in blood do to the SRM removal practice?

Who cares Mike. It's all BS anyway. Whatever keeps the public from going more overboard then they already are.
Speeking of which. Oprah may be a problem yet. As long as the underlings like R2 and yourself keep the heat up from your end. You are right about likely changing nothing, but the aggressive nature of people like R2 will certainly continue the fear.
People like Kathy are few and far between, and will always find it harder to make headway against the "chosen theory". R2 on the other hand can deal her BS daily and feed the frenzie. Humans like that. And those who stand to loose if BSE were proven as the simple individual poisoning that it is LOVE people like R2.

My goodness Oldtimer, better get this information to your Rcalf leadership immediately so they can broadcast it on Fox. That will certainly get that Canadian border closed again.
Issue is amount in the blood, your susceptibility, WHY it transmits sometimes but not other times. It's definitely a mystery. Why not whole herds? Why not whole families? Purdey's theory doesn't do any better here. If the environmental factors are present, how come a whole herd doesn't get it?
