People struck by Canada's mysterious brain disorder say they can't walk, talk, or write the letter 'Q'
Yahoo News ^ | 2/2/22

Dozens of New Brunswick residents have been struck with mysterious symptoms that point to a degenerative brain disorder, and authorities still don't have an explanation for the debilitating illness.

A report leaked in March 2021 noted a cluster of cases of what looked like Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease: spasms, memory loss, hallucinations, and severe weight loss as the condition keeps people from being active.

At the time, 48 cases had been identified, with symptoms starting between 2013 and 2020. However, a separate whistleblower from one of New Brunswick's health authorities told the Guardian that the mysterious illness had affected close to 150 by January 2022, and that many of those who got sick were young, previously healthy adults.

**they can’t walk, talk, or write the letter ‘Q’***

In today’s world all they have to do is hit the button “Q” to write it out.
And as for talking the word, think “Kew”.

As for walking, I know some people who were so dumb they could not walk and chew gum at the same time. Many in Management due to Nepotism.

A degenerative brain disorder associated with the letter Q?

Based on all the Q threads I’ve seen around here, that does not surprise me at all. Not at all.

“People struck by Canada’s mysterious brain disorder...”

Liberalism?

Is it just a rumor that the “vaccine” is made with aborted fetus parts?

Could it cause CJ?

“can’t walk, talk, or write the letter ‘Q’”

When Bush Jr. and his people moved into the White House, they found the computer keyboards missing the letter “W”. A (very) rare outbreak of humor by the Left.

A dear friend and brilliant conservative cartoonist, Gary Cangemi, Creator of Umbert the Unborn, died of CJ 4 or 5 years ago. It has been connected to pork helminths improperly cooked in most cases, but 30% of cases are idiopathic. Always fatal.

"Starting in 2013 means it predates the vax .... just saying .."

I guess it's possible the vax exacerbates it. 48 cases the first 8 years (2013-2020) = avg 6 per year. Then 100 more in the last year (increase from 48 to about 150 after year 2020) means twice as many in the year of the vax than the prior 8 years combined (the vax year of 100 cases is 17 times the rate of 6 per year in the pre-vax days).

We were warned that the spike protien could cause prion-like diseases. This could be the evidence of that.

I had completely forgotten about that first, script image.

No wonder people can’t write the letter!

Exactly. Folded proteins crossing the blood/brain barrier.

Years ago I worked for a Neuropathologist at a large,well known hospital. He talked to me once about Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. He told me that one form of it is seen in New Guinea because people there have a tradition of eating the brains of their dead relatives.

Consuming too much canola oil? (Canada developed this oil and promotes it as "healthy", but maybe not? Something for them to investigate.)

https://www.institutefornaturalhealing.com/2017/12/healthy-oil-linked-alzheimers/

"Scientists at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University looked at how canola oil affects brain function. They wanted to see if it increased brain plaque and decreased neural connectivity. Both are early markers of Alzheimer’s.

They used mice genetically engineered to develop the neuronal dysfunction like that in Alzheimer’s patients’ brains. And they divided the animals into two groups.

One was fed a normal diet. The other ate a diet supplemented with the human equivalent of two tablespoons of canola oil a day.

After six months, the researchers examined the two groups. They used maze tests to assess working memory, short-term memory, and learning ability.

In all three categories, the mice on canola oil had “significant” mental impairments compared to those on a canola-free diet.

They also weighed “significantly more” than the control mice.

The researchers then examined brain tissue from the two groups of mice. They found that the mice on canola oil “greatly reduced levels of amyloid beta 1-40.” This is a protective protein that helps the brain function optimally. It stops the formation of Alzheimer’s-causing plaque around neurons.

The researchers found that canola oil caused the mice’s neurons to be engulfed in plaque. This weakened the ability of the neurons to communicate with one another. These are the same changes that lead directly to memory loss and learning ability in humans. They are found in the early stages of Alzheimer’s.

Its a lot of canola oil, but next time you go to the store look at ingredient labels and see how often you find it as an ingredient. Its widely used because its cheap.

https://thefoodadvocates.com/__trashed/ “Canola” is a synthesis of the words “Canadian Oil” because the oil is primarily engineered in Canada. Canola oil is derived from the rapeseed plant. Rapeseed is a fast-growing succulent with very high yield and the ability to survive cold conditions."

snip.... "Rapeseed is very high in erucic acid which is known to have harmful effects on humans, animals, and insects. The effects of erucic oil found in various animals, both young and adult, include cardiac lipidosis, myocardial necrosis, anemia, hydrapericardium, ascites, hepatic fibrosls and myocardial granulomas; (Summary of research from Cardiac Lesions in Rats Fed Rapeseed Oils_, Charleton K. M. et al., Can. J. Comp. Med., 39: July, 1975: p.261-269.) It has also been found to cause lesions in the heart, raise cholesterol, and have other negative impacts on the brain and heart.

The FDA has put a limit on how much erucic acid content is legal for food products for consumption in the US at 2% for adults and not suitable for infants. If infants consume erucic acid it can be very dangerous. Even though they claim it is safe at that amount for adults, erucic acid is still toxic (hence why the bugs don’t touch it either!). So why take any chances if you have wonderful, healthy alternatives?"

snip

"So to deal with the high concentration of erucic acid the creators of the oil modified the rapeseed plant to lower the erucic acid content and instead added oleic acid. While oleic acid can be quite healthful from the right food sources (avocados and olive oil for example), there are health concerns associated with this acid as well such as:

-retarding growth (which is why it is banned in infant formulas)"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good to note the last point if your children use canola and you have grandchildren.

Sorry to hear that, but odd, since CJ is prion-caused, while pork helminths (which I never heard of, but looked up) are living organisms. The big difference is that prions cannot be killed by cooking in any practical way (you have to heat them to 900F). Not sure about irradiation, though.

Considering the cartoons he was publishing, I would want to be sure that he didn’t get any ‘help’ on the way out.

As a nurse, I am ashamed, but I took the word of an article I read on the internet. Thanks for the clarification and correction.
Gary was well cared for at the end by his wife Nancy, so thankfully he wasn’t “helped”. Of course, he had his haters, since he made the pro-aborts feel uncomfortable and guilty. God bless this genial but passionate genius whom we lost too soon.

No problem. I only knew of CJ being that way because it’s virtually impossible to remedy the contamination by proper cooking, like you can do with anything living (like salmonella). Scary stuff! Good to hear he didn’t get any ‘help’, at least.

Funny too, in that I used to draw the same cartoons and fax them to my pregnant wife, when I was out of town long-term on business. I think that we still have them!
