Eyes of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease patients show evidence of prions 

By the time symptoms of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) are typically discovered, death is looming and inevitable. But, in a new study, researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine with colleagues at the National Institutes of Health and UC San Francisco, report finding tell-tale evidence of the condition’s infectious agent in the eyes of deceased sCJD patients, making the eye a potential source for both early CJD detection and prevention of disease transmission.

I won’t reblog fashion sets anymore. I just can’t do it. The clothes are beautiful but this is peak ED season and I just can’t be perpetuating that ‘size 2 is the standard body! wow so many beautiful dresses!!! that only .001% of women can wear!’ bullshit.

I put a spell on you!

So this happened during a telephone consultation.

“My knee has been hurting for the last 24 hours. It’s burning and painful. I was fine yesterday, but then I called up some friends to say hello. I think they’re the ones that hurt me” said the woman on the phone.

“Okayyyy?” I replied.

“I think my friends are witches. They put a hex on me!”

I giggled nervously before answering.

“Umm… have you tried taking Tylenol or Advil?”

I was so thrown off by what she said, that I didn’t know how to respond.

Thinking back, I should have probably told her to throw some salt over her shoulder or burn some sage.

Brutha didn’t just believe. He really Believed. That sort of thing is usually embarrassing when it happens in a God-fearing family, but all Brutha had was his grandmother, and she Believed too. She believed like iron believes in metal. She was the kind of woman every priest dreads in a congregation, the one who knows all the chants, all the sermons…if she had been born a man, Omnianism would have found its 8th Prophet rather earlier than expected.
