Thanks.

Reading that, I see that I jumped to conclusions when I read your post that 13% of Alzheimers patients really had CJD. I wrongly assumed your comment was talking about vCJD, which is the version you get from infected cows. They are talking about regular classic CJD which may or may not have come from cows or some other sources. Still, it's a pretty amazing set of studies that as many as 13% of all Alzheimer patients really have CJD.
