[P]reviously unknown brain disease amid a string of cases involving memory loss, hallucinations and muscle atrophy.
The majority of cases are linked to the Acadian peninsula, a sparsely populated region in the north-eastern part of the province. The overall number of cases in the cluster remains low but New Brunswick has a population of fewer than 800,000 people.
Health officials have refused to disclose the precise locations of the cases. For more than a year public health officials have been tracking a “cluster” of 43 cases of suspected neurological disease in the province with no known cause.
Residents first learned of the investigation last week after a leaked memo from the province’s public health agency asked physicians to be on the lookout for symptoms similar to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease ...
A number of the symptoms including memory loss, vision problems and abnormal jerking movements triggered an alert with Canada’s CJD surveillance network. Despite the initial similarities, screening produced no confirmed cases of CJD.
[P]atients initially complained of unexplained pains, spasms and behavioural changes – all symptoms that could be easily diagnosed as anxiety or depression.
But over 18 to 36 months they began developing cognitive decline, muscle wasting, drooling and teeth chattering. A number of patients also began experiencing frightening hallucinations, including the feeling of insects crawling on their skin.
In order for a new case to be included in the New Brunswick “cluster”, Marrero and his team conduct an extensive study of the patient’s history, as well as a battery of tests including brain imaging, metabolic and toxicology tests and spinal taps, to rule out other possible illnesses like dementia, neurodegenerative disorders, autoimmune disorders and possible infections

Did they all just get their "vaccines"?
ML/NJ
Sounds similar to a prion disease, like mad cow.
Do you know the long drawn out joke about shrinking the brain that ends with the Newfie (or your favourite Maritimer) singing “Frere Jacques”
Article says no prions involved (yet) if I understand it correctly.
My money is on contaminated well.
There’s no vaccine for liberalism!
Isn’t that the official name for Mad Cow Disease — Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease? This ain’t good.
Are you really that stupid? You think the Canadians are only vaccinating one remote rural peninsula?
Mad Cownuck Disease?
Was thinking the same. Lost a friend to it in the UK.
“My money is on contaminated well.”
Check upstream for any DuPont or Monsanto plants.
Yes...^^^^ this...
limit movement into and out of the province.
They need to start with Prime Minister Trudeau for testing. He’s been showing signs of mental defects for years.
Prion disease is another scientific hoax even though its so-called discoverer was awarded the Nobel Prize for “finding”it. See the book The Social Construction of Disease. It ends up Prion disease is most like nothing more than oxalates either consumed by humans or animals from plants such as spinach, almonds, nuts, etc. or produced in the human liver that result in forming stones in the kidney, muscles, arteries and leads what appear to be neurological disease. Oxalates cannot be detected by an X-ray or sonic scan or MRI. Oxalates have been attributed to breast cancer, heart disease, autism, etc. But no one can make a buck treating it so it doesn’t exist to the medical experts.
Have they looked for Joe Bye-Done disease? It sounds like it mimics this perfectly…. memory loss, cognitive decline, dementia, neurodegenerative disorders causing one to fall on stairs, drooling and eyes staring into nowhere, creeping out others so that it feels like insects crawling on their skin…
China has a lab in Canada?.
Canada has had a small epidemic of ergot in their barley crop for a couple of years. These symptoms match ergot poisoning.
Blame weak solar cycle 24.
The biggest reason why this syndrome seems isolated to this region is that detection is isolated to this region. Doctors in other regions merely parrot the empirical narrative ...Nothing to see here people. Move along.
Solar cycle 25 promises to be just as weak so somebody had better start acknowledge the obvious, and get a handle on this before the toll gets unbearable.
How many of them are vaping THC?
“Mystery brain disorder baffles Canadian doctors”
It’s called ‘liberalism’ and will likely end Western Society.
