I'm glad found a video that explains this disease concisely without acting like it's still a mystery of spooky cannibals, when it's a well documented phenomenon.

Prions are fascinating. I wish they had been discussed more in my college biology classes but they were mostly just mentioned in passing. I had never even known they were responsible for Alzheimers and Parkinson's disease!

[@RadDadisRad]

It’s because we don’t know much about them. That’s why we just don’t know how to treat animals that are effected by them.

[@juli3836]

that's because they don't cause alzheimer's and parkinson's. that remains a hypothesis, but most scientists will say it's not.

[@Tumi_2000]

It's how he casually said "the people ate him" for me😂😂

This just help me A HUGE LOT for my homework in university, thank you so much, your work is amazing.

.Do anyone still doubt natural herbs? I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. I wonder why people still spend their money on surgery, injections and drugs each time they are sick. Natural herbs can cure all kinds of illness including herpes, diabetics, asthma, Cancer, hepatitis, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease,etc. I've seen it with my own eyes. I was cured of Irritable bowel syndrome and my Sister and her Husband were cured of herpes by dr Osemuahu who uses natural herbs to cure different kind of illness. Even Dr. Osemuahu proved to the whole world that natural herbs can cure all diseases and he cured countless of people using natural herbs. I know is hard to believe but am a living testimony. There is no harm in trying herbs. Contact Dr Osemuahu(whatsap no): [phone] or email: [e-mail] God bless you.....

@@tekkentekken2032 natural is a very loose term, also not because something is made in a lab means it's not "natural" for example penicillin is an antibiotic produced by the mould penicillium, but you can find it as an inyection and tabs in a drugstore

This tribe that ate the dead, would do this is as a ceremonial practice whenever anyone in their tribe had died. The women and children had to eat the cooked body to free that person's spirit into the afterlife. Kuru can lay dormant in the body for up to fifty years before being noticed.

[@nicolle6620]

So many misleading information out there attributing Kuru/CJD to cannibalism. Although it is clear that the Fore people of Papua New Guinea consumed infected individuals with these prions it is not accurate to say that cannibalism alone causes Kuru/CJD. So thank you for that explanation

[@d35p0]

So true but maybe it's better for society for the misconception to exist lol

[@akunna1]

So if someone with kuru dies and a cannibal eats his/her brain, would the cannibal get kuru too?

[@abhijithsadeesh6624]

Yes

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

Yes so stop doing it girl..:)

[@noahfischer3088]

So cannibalism is deadly but only if they have cjd. Got it. This information will be useful for a friend. Former friend.

Question: how does the misfolded prion from the blood go through the blood-brain barrier?

[@robmemeoverlord6399]

I’m going to be studying biomedicine in university and I really seriously doubt I’ll be able to study these in depth but they are truly fascinating. I always had the suspicion when I was younger that prions may have been causing Alzheimer’s disease but obviously it was only a thought. But as it turns out that guess wasn’t too far off. I hope more research is done and those smart lab people can make some sort of breakthrough/cure.

[@zainabmaan5330]

Amazing fabulous explanation please keep up

[@Cosmic_Love]

Thanks for the video

[@abdullahnafea4736]

very informative .. thank u

[@Daniel44125]

Have you done any videos on how agregating spike proteins from COVID-19 can cause brain damage?

[@jennifergreen6109]

😳

[@haggai3.477]

Could it be that the *SPIKE PROTEIN* is a *PRION?*

[@deadboykun8644]

I've heard this disease off of a video game, Dead Island.

This is very interesting.

I really enjoyed your presentation but can u please download the pptx slides in the comments

Did dayz bring you here too...?

[@brianbane6199]

I hear that a decedent being cremated who had CJD that the cremation doesn't kill CJD. Is that correct. I understand that sterilization does not kill it. But if the fluid gets burnt up, I would think it would kill it.

[@abhijithsadeesh6624]

Cremation or cooking, they won't get denatured.

[@manoharbabu5373]

Burning (more precisely combustion) is the solution as far as i knew.

[@scottvelez3154]

You need *extremely* high heat to destroy prions.

[@lucianaromulus1408]

Has to be hot enough, I don't remember how high though

[@theblueclue3843]

i wonder if they ate the brains raw? would cooking them denature the prions?

[@yasmind5911]

No, prions take extended heating of over 400 degrees Celsius to destroy

[@sackgreaser]

what is the main cause of cjd :p

[@KoreanYtT124]

Prions
