Variant Creutzfeld-Jacobs (vCJD), also known as Mad Cow Disease, and vaccine association
Hypothesis: vCJD, the human variant of the Mad Cow disease, can be cured or prevented by a vaccine, most likely an MMR vaccine, but also possible that it is a meningitis or similar common vaccine.
Abstract: I had an unexplainable progressive cognitive decline as I got older that, I now believe, was caused by vCJD, and cured by a vaccine, most likely an MMR vaccine.
I was born in 1980 in Moscow, Russia. I do not know what, if any, vaccines I received as a child. I came to US in 1993. Virtually all my life, but specifically starting at about 12 years old, I didn’t feel right. I was not like other kids. I was shy. I was afraid of many things. I always felt a little dizzy and disoriented. I was above a 4.0 student up to 11th grade. In 11th grade, my grades rapidly declined. I found it harder to study and concentrate. At 19, I was completely disoriented. Although I could sense there was something wrong with me mentally, I could not figure out what. I also had trouble relating to people, keeping friends or relationships. And I also felt that this mental abnormality was slowly getting worse.
I moved to Boston from Los Angeles in 1999. I received 3 vaccines when I was 22 at Suffolk University in Boston, MA– tetanus, Hepatits B and MMR. I was feeling very sick at the time. I specifically remember sitting in the nurse’s waiting room with a very bad stomach ache and nausea. I moved back to California in 2001. In 2004, I received my 2nd MMR shot at a private physician’s office. I was still feeling sick at the time. However, I specifically noticed my health started getting better following that 2nd MMR shot.
There should be a special note regarding the circumstances of this 2nd vaccine. I received it at a small private physicians office. I was not given any paperwork. I paid in cash, as far as I can remember it was $70. In 2009, I called this physician’s office requesting my medical record, but they said they lost it. Complaints to medical board and my repeated requests went unanswered. Therefore, the circumstances surrounding this vaccination are suspicious. I know I received a shot, but I don’t have a record of exactly what vaccine it was.
After receiving supposedly the 2nd MMR vaccine in 2004, several things happened. I started living a much more healthy lifestyle. I completely quit smoking and drinking. I still had stomach aches up to about 2008, but much less. My cognitive level increased. I had a much easier time with school work, my grades went up significantly. I also started programming computers and running my own small business. Only one negative thing happened following that 2nd vaccination in 2004. About a month later, I noticed vision in my right eye rapidly decreasing, subsequently I was diagnosed with keratoconus. I now wear an RGP contact lens on my right eye, without it I cannot see anything with my right eye.
I specifically noted a change in myself following the vaccination in 2004. I believe that my symptoms were consistent with vCJD. I proceeded to research everything about vCJD online. A lot of my symptoms were consistent with this disease. I had unexeplaining cognitive decline. The decline was evident by my declining grades, loss of direction in life. The long incubation period is consistent with vCJD. The age at which it affected me was also consistent. At about the age of 26, I was so sick I was literally dying. Average age of vCJD victims at the age of death is about 29.
I contacted various institutions regarding my theory, such as CDC, University of San Francisco Memory and Aging Research Center, the Lancet, and some others. A couple thought my idea was laughable, others did not even respond to me. I am posting this on the Internet in hopes that someone sees this and conducts more research into this very serious disease and the cure that i have postulated.
