#########Greetings List Members,
i was going over the French reporting of CJD,
and seems the increase of sporadic CJD is substantial.
from 38 in 1992 to 110 in 2001 deceased sporadic CJD.
the suspected CJD went from 71 in 1992 to 1103 in 2001.
would this be a correct deduction of a substantial
increase???

of course there are some substantial increases of sCJD
in other known BSE countries also;

of course to put up any substantial statistics for
USA CJD numbers, the USA first has to make it reportable
nationally. but as you can see below, this is not going to
happen;

About four million cases of Alzheimer's have been reported in the U.S.
this year, according to officials from the Alzheimer's Association.
Some U.S. doctors know the truth, yet haven't blown any whistles, the
report said.
"The puzzle pieces have stayed in the box; because, since the 1970s,
some private labs are afraid to let CJD tissue in the door to be
examined," the report added. They would have to burn down the lab in
order to be certain they had cleansed it of the prions.
Dr. Richard Deandrea, a Los Angeles physician who studied CJD and BSE
extensively, talked about his first CJD patient. After her death, which
featured symptoms atypical of Alzheimer's (fingers numb, blindness,
slurred speech, weak knees), Deandrea said he dogged the Center for
Disease Control in Atlanta for a pathologist who would provide him with
an autopsy to see if it might be CJD, the report said.
The center evaded his phone calls for three weeks. Finally he was told
-- off the record -- "CJD is an issue no pathologist will deal with, a
virtual death sentence to a lab. A well-trained pathologist knows the
quarantine would never be lifted. You couldn't sterilize the lab to OSHA
protocols. It would have to be gutted, incinerated. Forget it, your
patient died of Alzheimer's."
So, there may be CJD deaths, but there are not likely to be many CJD
death certificates, the report added. "The Alzheimer's Foundation itself
seems clueless, saying that if current trends continue, 14 million
people would have Alzheimer's by the end of the century. No mention of
CJD from them."
The Pittsburgh Veterans Hospital disclosed that 6 percent of Alzheimer's
cases are really CJD, the report said. Based on that disclosure, in the
next four years, 840,000 U.S. humans could die of CJD, the report added.

and with the fact that the _new_ CJD Foundation having the
CJD Surveillence sewed up in the USA (funded by CDC),
the fact they refuse to have a reliable CJD Questionnaire for
_all_ victims/families, well, there is no hope in finding
source/route of sporadic CJDs in the USA (mission accomplished).
thus, the agent will continue to spread...
