Several recent articles indicate Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a prion disease.

UCSC researchers find key to prion diseases

"“Human prion diseases include classic and variant types of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, mad cow disease, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's."

Researchers have found prions in blood, urine, saliva and feces of human and animal victims of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs - prion diseases).

"OPKO Health Announces Development of Blood Test for Alzheimer’s Disease
February 11, 2010 10:47 AM Eastern Time
MIAMI--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--OPKO Health, Inc. (NYSE Amex:OPK) today announced the development of a
simple diagnostic blood test for Alzheimer’s disease. The test, designed to detect elevated levels of antibodies unique
to Alzheimer’s disease, was approximately 95% accurate in initial testing. "

Detection of prions in blood.

"These findings represent the first time that PrP(Sc) has been detected biochemically in blood, offering promise for developing a noninvasive method for early diagnosis of prion diseases."

"The human prion is resistant to both heat and chemicals and is reported to be up to a hundred thousand times more difficult to deactivate than the animal form of infective agent which causes well known diseases in cattle, such as mad cow disease, and scrapie in sheep. "

Any error in identifying a CJD-carrier can be fatal and costly - many hospitals around the world have been forced to destroy millions of dollars worth of instruments when patients were diagnosed with CJD some time after undergoing routine eye and neurosurgical procedures.

A further factor limiting decontamination from prions is that existing cleaning protocols are damaging to medical instruments such as flexible endoscopes and some instruments used in neurosurgical, dental and opthalmological procedures."

*********************************************************************

There are 5.3 million AD victims in the United States, with a new case every 70 seconds - an epidemic of almost a half million new cases of a transmissible prion disease each year. The CDC and medical community must promptly deal with the issue of potential iatrogenic transmission of Alzheimer's Disease.
