hmmm...wonder if Alzheimer’s and BSE have the same cause...only different versions that show their symptoms more slowly or quickly...
By BSE, do you mean "Mad Cow Disease"? I thought I'd read that had something to do with the prions in the brain.
I'm thrilled that they're learning more about this disease every day. The more knowledge, the better to find ways to either slow it, stop it, or block it entirely.
My mother spent her last four years with this disease, and even though she was still ambulatory, and somewhat lucid when she died of respiratory arrest, it was so sad to see a once vital and sociable woman withdraw so much.
