Carleton Gajdusek, who was awarded a Nobel Prize for his work with prion diseases (Manuelidis,1985), estimates that 1% of people showing up in Alzheimer clinics actually have CJD (Folstein, 1983). http://www.mad-cow.org/~tom/Alzheimer_cjd.html pity that this was before BSE blew up isn't it It's an American study of the US population, posted in response to your question "How do UK dementia figures compare with US, or EU." As I said, this is before BSE blew up. What the hell use are comparison figures then? You are the one claiming a lot of hidden CJD so you should have figures for dementia now. In the UK, 750,000. You are the one that selectively quoted, from a range of data, figures from or before the mid-eighties. You snipped; 'An estimated two to three million Americans are afflicted by Alzheimer's (Scully, 1993); it is the fourth leading cause of death among the elderly in the U.S (Perry, 1995).' You're free to find a more up-to-date number of all dementia cases in the US or EU by doing a little research yourself (imagine that). |
