[QUOTE="ByronHag, post: 1606994, member: 83300"] I was a grad student at Purdue in the early 80's when Stanley Prusiner's work on prions was first published - it wasn't widely accepted that a mis-folded protein could induce a change in a normal "scrapie" protein. The prion protein has been shown to be very resistant to heat and sterilization - and still able to induce mis-folding.... Hard to imagine a spiroplasma [bacteria] that is in insects as that hardy - it's not a thermophile [ie. isolated from hot springs/geysers/thermal vents]. The videos claims are very optimistic to say the least. I don't perform research in this field but find it hard to believe that a "cure" would be forthcoming so quickly. But if a cause-effect relationship can be proven it would at least give hope for a "cure". My background [DVM PhD Biochemistry] [/QUOTE]
