Neurodegenerative diseases are some of the most troubling to mankind, especially because there are no cures at present. Alzheimer's disease, for instance, is extremely distressing for the patient and the family and can linger for many years. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is another distressing, albeit very rare, neurological disease that has no cure. Unlike Alzheimer's, this disease kills its victims quickly, within just months after diagnosis.
There are actually four variants of CJD, and the most common type is called sporadic CJD, and more than 80% of those with CJD have this particular form. In addition, these patients have no family history of the disease and no specific risk factors for CJD. About 10 percent of cases are inherited, which is called familial CJD or fCJD.
Of the two rarest forms of CJD, the one most commonly known is acquired by patients who eat meat infected by bovine spongiform encephalopathy, which is better known as mad cow disease. Although rare, an outbreak in the United Kingdom was responsible for the deaths of 200 people in the U.K. and more than 40 more people from other countries. There were more than 200,000 cattle found affected with mad cow disease, and the U.K. government ended up euthanizing 4 million animals to eradicate the problem.
The disease also has been transmitted by contaminated immunoglobulin, electrode implants or corneal grafts from an infected donor, and this is known as iatrogenic CJD or iCJD. Human growth hormone extracted from people who eventually died from CJD also has been shown to be a source of transmission. A medical report in 2004 also suggested that vCJD can be transmitted in blood, and as a result, the American Red Cross forbids blood donations from individuals who spent three or more months in the United Kingdom from 1980 to 1996, which was the time when CJD risks were at their highest.
Prions are considered by most scientists to be the cause of the disease, and a prion is a protein that has misfolded and then replicated itself many times. This tears holes in the tissue of the brain and it eventually looks a bit like a sponge. Common early symptoms include personality changes, especially in vCJD, and dementia is also a typical symptom. Anxiety, psychosis and paranoia are often symptoms, as well as problems with speech and coordination.
The disease is incurable, there are no treatments, and scientists are still trying to pinpoint a cause. Some believe the prions cause the disease to occur, while others believe that disease creates the situation in which prions begin damaging brain tissues. Those studying the disease often require the services of biotechnology companies that offer protein expression services and protein sequencing services as well as protein analysis.

Jose Andrews is my name, Some people keep questioning God, asking him why he allowed Satan to put in the world deadly diseases, but they never know that anything happening in this life, is just for a particular reason. Here is my story on how I was cured of schizophrenia (Brain Disease) by a herbal doctor Uwadia Amneifo using his herbal mixture. Few months ago, I realized I had some problem with my system, and later on I begin to forget things easily. I complained to my doctor after his text he said just a little problem with me, but that soon I will be fine. He prescribed for me and I was taking medicine according to his prescription but my condition was getting worse instead of coming down. So I went back to my doctor after some time, he said am having issues with my brain, this continues gradually until it became worse and I was diagnosed of schizophrenia (Brain Disease) and this disease is same with SCJD. My doctor told me there is no cure to this disease that I have to live and die with it.
