Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 This is a great article for showing how other organic things can be causing a " mental illness " . I wonder if the antidepressants and other mood altering drugs were not pushed for every little thing that this man might at least have known what was going on and not drugged for the rest of his live. Maybe if every little thing wasn't a bogus " disorder " doctors might get back to real doctoring. Jim Mad Cow Disease mistaken for depression... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/3516326.stm Last Updated: Tuesday, 16 March, 2004, 13:42 GMT Depressed photographer had vCJD Poole probably caught the disease through infected meat A fashion photographer sectioned under the Mental Health Act was actually suffering from the human form of mad cow disease, an inquest heard. Poole, 30, of Wilmslow, Cheshire, had been diagnosed with depression but died a week after doctors realised he had vCJD in 2003. An inquest heard he probably got the disease from eating infected meat. Cheshire Coroner Rheinberg recorded a verdict of death by misadventure. Mr Poole, who worked as a photographer in Ardwick, Manchester, died in September 2003 at East Cheshire Hospice, Macclesfield. " My brother has died from a disease that many people think has gone away, but it has not, " Poole's sister, Nicola . He was diagnosed with depression after telling doctors he slept too much, had no energy, and could not concentrate. His family said his personality began to change at Christmas 2002. His father, Poole, a retired printer, said: " We only became aware of his problems then, he was very low and would not talk to us. " He was given various anti-depressants before eventually being sectioned in June 2003. His condition deteriorated and eventually he lost the ability to walk, speak and eat. '40-year incubation period' The coroner said: " I am satisfied that this death was as a result of the unintentional consequences of two actions. " That of the original creation of this disease by feeding cattle products containing their own meat and that of Poole's unintentional eating of the infected meat. " Mr Poole's sister, Nicola , said: " My brother has died from a disease that many people think has gone away, but it has not. " We thought my brother was depressed, that is what the doctors told us, we had no reason to think otherwise. " I only hope that now other people will not have to go through the same thing. " The Poole family's solicitor, Body, who has represented more than 100 vCJD victims, said it was believed the disease had an incubation period of up to 40 years. _________________________________________________________________ Get a FREE online computer virus scan from McAfee when you click here. http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 I have thought for a while now that meat could be causing mental illness. It doesn't surprise me. Fast food has become the way for americans. We depend on our officals to make sure our food source is safe, but we all know we can't depend on others to do this for us.
