. . . Alan Colchester, a professor of neurology at the University of Kent, said the most likely origin of BSE and the subsequent deaths from variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease was the import from the Indian subcontinent of bone meal containing infected human remains. . . The collection of bones and carcasses has long been an important trade for peasants in India and Pakistan. Media and eyewitness reports have described human remains being sold to processing mills along with animal material. . . Prof Colchester questioned why BSE did not appear earlier given that scrapie has been endemic in Britain for at least 200 years, and that material from sheep has been fed to cattle for at least 70 years. He also noted that all published attempts to transmit scrapie experimentally to cattle by the oral route had failed. . . Crumbs - BSE or not, to think they have been feeding sheep carcasses to cattle for SEVENTY years!? At LEAST! Rowena -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
