Re: Mad Cow Disease mistaken for depression...

[Guest guest]

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.

Mad Cow Disease mistaken for depression...

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.

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.
