Twenty-seven cows from that herd have been traced to six farms in Washington state, including the one in Moxee announced Friday, and one in Idaho.

The state placed a hold order on the Moxee farm, east of Yakima, to prevent any animals from leaving, the federal Department of Agriculture said Friday.

1. Alzheimer's and Creutzfeldt-jacob

I think there is a likely connection. I've read that US physicians don't know how to diagnose the C-Jakob.
I also read that parents of a US marine had the disease and know one could diagnois till he was a really far gone case.
Did anyone read about this?

2. yes I read about it

it seems like Alzheimer just appeared and blossomed in america. never heard of it until, what, 10 yrs. ago or so. now, boom, it's common to have someone with it.

this is not logical.

4. Someone should do a serious study on whether vegetarians

have less alzheimer disease, percentage wise, than meat eaters. Should be limited to this country to avoid introducing other variables.
