Not all of they dismiss CJD as a rare illness in NE

[Guest guest]

Dear nne,

Not " all " of " they " say CJD is rare in New England - Dr. Alfred De,

Assistant Commissioner of Communicable Disease Control at the following

address:

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts,

Bureau of Communicable Disease Control,

Massachusetts Centre for Disease Control,

10B South Street,

Jamaica Plain, MA, 02130, U.S.A. [Tel: 822-3700 ext 420]

gave a public lecture in Boston in 1994 on the increase of CJD in the state

of Massachusetts.

He might be a worthwhile resource, as according to the academic who passed

the information to me, Professor H. Hynes, Environmental Engineer

at Boston University School of Public Health, Department of Environmental

Health

Talbot 3C, 80 East Concord Street,

Boston, MA, 02118-2394, U.S.A.

Tel: 1- [boston] Tel: 1- [Amherst]

he was concerned! I tried to contact him for quite a while, but eventually

gave up because I wanted to move on from the Pat Hynes scene [nothing

against her or due to her] which had become a part of my life that I wanted

to forget!

In a way, what I'm saying is try to get him first, and if unsuccessful try

Pat Hynes without mentioning my name. Pat knows all about CJD, not from any

personal experience, but from my publications during the time when we

shared mutual friends.

Hope this helps, best wishes etc., Lynette.
