Nerve gas

[edit]

As I remember, the nerve gases were developed from the pesticides, not the other way around. It's explained on the organophosphate page. Tim Vickers 23:57, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the current summary of the mechanism he proposed is wrong. It was not proposed that the change in calcium signaling produced prion proteins, it was thought that the production of prion proteins changed calcium levels and Inositol triphosphate signaling.

Article fixed

[edit]

Mark Purdey was an idiot; he did no "research." His "papers" in the crackpot Medical Hypotheses "journal" contain no actual data, other than some specious epidemiological analysis. The remainder of the corpus seems to consist of a lot of scientific-sounding words strung together in various orders. His explanations for BSE are backed up by few, if any citations, and are clearly the work of someone with no understanding of biochemistry. This article would have given the layman the impression that Purdey was a well-respected scholar, but in fact he was a charlatan - a successful charlatan, but a charlatan nonetheless.

Would that be an example of your NPV Angio? Your revisions are childish and laughable !

These are just the 1st four entries when google is searched for prion protein + copper - are all these people idiotic crackpot charlatans as well ? Seems the idiot you refer to was actually 15 years ahead of your well respected scholars ! User:DLM4473 —Preceding undated comment added 01:47, 18 September 2010 (UTC).[reply]

I am going to revert your edits, because these articles have absolutely nothing to do with Purdey's crackpot theories, other than that they contain the words "copper" and "PrP" in the same sentence. It would be like arguing that the Cold War never ended, because you can still find papers by searching for "USSR" and "United States". Purdey's papers are complete speculation and were published in a disreputable journal that accepts unsubstantiated hypotheses as research.Angio (talk) 19:56, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
