Even More Evidence That Alzheimer’s Was Being Spread by Now-Banned Injections

The practice of injecting children with growth hormone extracted from the brains of deceased people was abandoned long ago – with good reason.

Around 200 children who underwent this procedure during 1959–1985 to treat short stature developed Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease decades later – a deadly, degenerative brain condition caused by a misfolded protein known as a prion.

Now, a study has provided more evidence that these injections might also have seeded Alzheimer’s disease.
