Yes it would be nice to get back to the £20 days again. I used to trade this. buy around 1750 sell at £20 did it several times then i did a spread at 1750 and it dropped to £10 think i sold about £14 painful but always said if people asked me for a tip around that time buy GSK for a tenner and youll do well. They had a few opportunities to do this. these days its been start buying when it goes to £14 and start selling £15-1550 and get 6% while u wait. Now its broken out who knows

Hundreds of thousands of CJD cases have been misdiagnosed in the USA as Alzheimer's
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The BBC2 programme , Mad Cow the new new wave las thursaday at 9pm, didn't dare pick up on this, because it was warned off.

But it means that 100% of surgical instruments should be tested for protein residue for EVERY type of operation not just neurology and eye surgery and a few others as detailed in DOH HTM 01-01 2016 update , here is why:

2003



'' Now people are beginning to realize that because something looks like sporadic CJD they can't necessarily conclude that it's not linked to (mad cow disease)," said Laura Manuelidis, section chief of surgery in the neuropathology department at Yale University, who conducted a 1989 study that found 13 percent of Alzheimer's patients actually had CJD.

Several studies, including the one by Manuelidis, have found autopsies reveal 3-percent-to-13-percent of patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's or dementia actually suffered from CJD. Those numbers might sound low, but there are 4-million Alzheimer's cases and hundreds of thousands of dementia cases in the United States. A small percentage of those cases could add up to 120,000 or more CJD victims going undetected and not included in official statistics.''





buywell notes

In 2003

From the Laura Manuelidis, section chief of surgery in the neuropathology department at Yale University findings in 2003:

At her lower end figure of 3% of misdiagnosed Alzheimer's cases which should have been diagnosed as CJD, this works out that there should be a minimum of 120,000 cases a year minimum of CJD being diagnosed.

In 2018

5.7 million Americans of all ages are now diagnosed as having Alzheimer’s and now someone in the United States is being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease every 65 seconds.


Based upon the average range of the studies which misdiagnosed Alzheimer's which should have been diagnosed as CJD ie 3% to 13% , average = 8%


The number of people in the USA today that should be diagnosed with a form of CJD is 8% of 5.7M = 456,000.

Yes 456,000 of CJD cases in the USA that have at present been wrongly diagnosed as Alzheimer's



WHY is this happening and why are CJD cases not been diagnosed correctly ?
-----------------------------------------------------------------


buywell thinks this is because:

1. No piece of test equipment exists that can test for any form of CJD ( at least
eight types now exist, more being identified) in a living human being.

2. CJD can at present only be 100% correctly identified by post-mortem


3. CJD is a prion disease always fatal and no cure ... like Alzheimer's. Hospital
staff know this and also that it is highly contagious and transmissible
disease, they are scared of catching it themselves and rightly so.



There is a development in the USA where some state universities are trying to develop a piece of test equipment that will detect CWD in a living deer. ( CWD is a TSE, like BSE, a prion disease in Cervids)

One has to ask why is the FDA and USA government not involved or at least funding this ?

buywell thinks because such a piece if new test equipment can then be modified to detect CJD in humans and then case numbers will rocket to the hundreds of thousands causing mass panic.

Well, taking those in tablet form beats eating dog or snake as a meal in China and Korea, I suppose!

[philanderer] 11/7/2019 09:21

Received my dividends in my AJ Bell accounts today. When to reinvest the £8K in GSK, then? ….. ;0)

Brussels (AFP) - The EU on Wednesday approved the merger of the consumer healthcare activities of pharmaceutical giants GlaxoSmithKline and Pfizer that produce over-the-counter medicines.
The European Commission, the EU's powerful anti-trust authority, said the decision came after the UK and US companies agreed to divest Pfizer's ThermaCare pain therapy brand.
This commitment removes "almost entirely the overlaps between GSK and Pfizer's Consumer Health Business", the commission said.
The greenlight is a crucial hurdle for the tie-up of over-the-counter brands with combined sales of 9.8 billion pounds ($12 billion, 11 billion euros) that include GSK's Sensodyne toothpaste and Pfizer's Centrum multivitamins.
With the venture, British group GSK is split into two entities, one specialised in the development of drugs and the other in consumer healthcare.

Yes, £ v $ has fallen from 1.33 to 1.25 (6%) over past year. Strong new sales growth (e.g. Shingrix) coupled with Sterling's weakness look good for earnings and underpins the dividend ….. ;0)

[beckers2008] 10/7/2019 12:23

TM,

So earnings on the 5% upside?

[tradermichael] 10/7/2019 12:13

£1 = US$ 1.25

[philanderer] 10/7/2019 01:22

Just noticed GSK has now taken over from TATE as my largest holding :-)

[lippy4] 09/7/2019 15:45

Mad Cow was tragic for farmers but wonderful for consumers. The shops could hardly give the stuff away so I ate more beef and steak then than at any other time before or since. Needless to say it did me no harm at all.
