Possible cure found for CWD, Mad Cow, Scrapies, and others

[PPQer]

There is a researcher who has possibly found the cause and thus a cure for CWD in deer and elk, Mad Cow in cattle, and Scrapies in Sheep.  He found that the cause wasn't the prion, but a previously unknown bacteria they now call spiroplasma.  He can grow it in a lab and infected a deer and a sheep with the bacteria, and they both developed CWD and Scrapies.  All the research money is being spent on prion research, so it's going to another "the earth isn't flat".  But it's exciting to think he may have found it.

He also thinks the bacteria is causes Creutizfeld-Jakob disease in humans.

Dr. Frank Bastion, in his lab at Louisiana State University has discovered that CWD is caused by a previously unknown bacteria called spiroplasma, and that prions are simply a byproduct of the bacterial infection. Let me repeat, CWD is not caused by a prion. It is caused by a previously undiscovered species of bacteria called spiroplasma because prion is always present in infected animals. It was erroneously assumed that prions were the cause of the disease. This breakthrough discovery is a game changer in that it’s now possible to develop a vaccine, an antibiotic, to prevent and cure CWD. It is to be done like Jonas Salk’s vaccine cured polio.

Very interesting as I was exposed to BSE aka mad cow disease, back in the 90’s, so this means something to me.
