I have read extensively about this topic, and thought I knew most of what is known, but was astounded to read recently that the PNG tribesmen may well have been given their disease by Japanese military researchers during WWII. This report claimed that there were no cases of Kuru before the Japanese invaded. I do not recall offhand just how the military "doctors" set about this alleged crime.

Given the abominable record of atrocities by the Imperial Army, this would not surprise me in the least. (In the city where I live, captured airmen were vivisected and their organs eaten -- this is a fact.) Such abominations certainly help one to understand the reason that so many people worldwide retain bad feelings toward Japan, whose citizens, taken as a whole, are of course just like everyone else.

Hi folks,
Mad Cow Disease: Punishment of the Gods for cannibalism. I will search my archives - real ones - books, for the original definitive story of M.C. disease, but for now: It was first isolated in Papua New Guinea by a mixed bag of Australians and Englishmen studying a tribe in which a most peculiar and devastating disease regularly occurred. To cut a long story short "Prions" are a non-existent medical-political trick, the cause being determined as the habit of the women of the tribe ritualistically eating important dead people - and only the women getting the best bits, one of which was the brain. Other tribes knew about it - but they were only Boongs, so who listened? - and they knew that it was caused by eating the same type of animal - not just humans, but pigs who ate pigs. M.C. Disease? A punishment of the Gods for cannibalism.
So don't do it!

Cheers,
