Brain Trust – The Hidden Connection Between Mad Cow and Misdiagnosed Alzheimer’s Disease

(PRWEB) October 21, 2004

With an adult population of 120 million, the number of Americans with Alzheimer’s Disease seems epidemic—4 to 5 million Americans in this country have Alzheimer’s Disease, a number which has increased 9,000% in the last 20 years. And scientific research showed between 5% and 13% of Alzheimer’s cases may actually be another devastating brain disease called CJD (linked to Mad Cow). Now, for the first time ever, the possible causes are examined in Brain Trust – The Hidden Connection Between Mad Cow and Misdiagnosed Alzheimer’s Disease (Paraview Pocket Books Hardcover; October 19, 2004; $ 22.00) by Colm A. Kelleher, Ph.D.

This illuminating expose of the threat to our nation’s health reveals for the first time how Mad Cow Disease (a.k.a. Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) has jumped species, infecting humans in the form of Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease (CJD), and may be hidden in the enormous increase in the number of Alzheimer’s cases since 1979.

Detailing the history and biology of Mad Cow Disease, BRAIN TRUST discloses how an investigation into the mysterious deaths of thousands of cannibals in a remote part of the world evolved into a research program in the United States that may have had unforeseen and frightening consequences.

The shocking questions examined include:

· Have millions of Americans already been exposed to the prions known to cause Mad Cow Disease through years of eating tainted beef?

· Does the epidemic of prion disease spreading like wildfire through the nation’s deer and elk pose a threat to hunters and venison eaters?

· Are the cattle mutilations discovered in the last 30 years part of a covert, illegal sampling program designed to learn how far the deadly prions have spread throughout the nation’s livestock and beef products?

BRAIN TRUST is a medical detective story that explores the origin and spread of the deadly infectious prions that are linked to Mad Cow disease and investigates the extent to which they may have jumped species and ended up in America’s food supply. It also shows how human Mad Cow disease may be hidden in the current epidemic of Alzheimer’s Disease.

BRAIN TRUST inoculates Americans with an effective cure: the truth.
