CWD Cure Found? So Says LSU Doctor

Has there been a CWD cure found? Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is at the forefront of hunter concerns these days, and Doctor Frank Bastian from Louisiana State University has found that CWD is caused by a previously unknown bacteria called Spiroplasma. The cure for Chronic Wasting Disease will come in the form of a simple antibiotic.

Doctor Bastian has created a 3 step plan to phase this discovery into the animal and human population; first, a hunter test kit, second, an injectable vaccine for private deer farmers, and third, an oral vaccine administerable to wild animals. Best of all, Dr. Bastian believes this could be a stepping stone to at least a partial cure for Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and more. This is huge news, everyone. Watch and share this video, or read the transcription below.

Here is the video transcription so you can read this presentation instead, if you prefer:
“We are here today to announce that we have discovered the real cause of CWD, that we have a cure for field application in 12 to 18 months.

As Phil stated, chronic wasting disease, or CWD, was first identified in Pennsylvania in 2012. Since then it has continued to spread within the state and now is on the edge of the Pennsylvania elk range. Both deer and elk are vulnerable in Pennsylvania, and long-term studies in other states, as well as my own wildlife disease research with elk, indicate that if there is not a dramatic change to our current CWD disease management approach, that we will face the effect of extinction of deer and elk in Pennsylvania for generations and likely for a century.

For those of you who have visited our spectacular elk country visitor center, it may soon stand empty. The tradition of sport hunting, as we have known it, will end, placing at risk our second Amendment. The impact to outdoor recreation and tourism and to the outdoor industry will be staggering economic impacts across the state and within rural communities will be measured in the tens of billions of dollars and across America in the trillions of dollars. This is where we are heading, headed, without a breakthrough. Once infected, a deer can appear healthy in an incubation period for a year or more with no visible signs of illness. In late stages symptoms from brain lesions quickly manifest in aimlessly wandering, falling, drooping ears, and excessive salivating. Death soon follows.

And as we should point out to the author, hunting was never the reason for the 2nd, back then everyone hunted, or starved. The 2nd was for defense against the Government.

I should also point out that my quail that I raise get a very similar disease, a bacterium in their intestines that strips all the nutrient absorbing surface from the small intestine, they slowly die. You can tell when they have it as they become veracious eaters all of a sudden, Tetracycline works great, or Erythromycin, which they sell by the pound, no Rx required, so I keep a little bit on hand at all times, just for the livestock of course.
