RE: The Laughing Death - Why Cannibalism is Bad for You

Truly great report, thank you. I did know about this and it is related to Crushev-jacobs, alzheimers, HIV, and a host of other similar diseases - good job

Thanks. There is a theory that Alzheimers may act in a similar way although no prion has yet been isolated (as far as I know) but one theory is that there is a dysfunction of protein synthesis. HIV can cause a dementia in the terminal stages although this is less common since the development of modern antivirals.
