Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (view source)

'''Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease''' is a sporadic and rare, but fatal human [[disease]] that usually strikes people over 65. It is a [[transmissible spongiform encephalopathy]], and like other TSEs, is caused by [[prion]]s and always fatal. It occurs worldwide at an estimated rate of one case per million population, although it's possible that between 15,000 and 75,000 cases of CJD occur in the US alone. New studies show that 3-13% of Alzheimer's disease cases are actually misdiagnosed CJD. About 10-15% of CJD cases are inherited. A small number of cases occurred as the result of various medical treatments or procedures which inadvertently transferred prions. This is known as [[iatrogenesis]].

==CDC's claims versus reality==
The CDC claims that there are only 450 CJD cases per year in the USA. In reality, there are well over 75,000. This is because neurologists are misdiagnosing CJD as [[Alzheimer's disease]]. In a study done by Elias E. and Laura Manuelidis, they showed that 13% of Alzheimer's cases are actually CJD. With around 600,000 cases of Alzheimer's per year, that's around 75,000 cases of CJD per year. Because BSE can cause 'sporadic' CJD, as well as prions being transmitted via plants, and [[nanoplastic]]s misfolding [[prion|PrP]]s, it's obvious where it's coming from. Nanoplastics get in the water supply, asymptomatic BSE infected cows get into our food supply, and prions get in our plants.
