Hi, and welcome to the web site of Nigel Purdey. I'm interested in continuing the work of my late brother, Mark by exploring the ways in which the Environment may be causing a wide variety of diseases such as BSE, CJD, Scrapie, Alzheimer's disease, the Chronic Fatigue Syndromes and more. I want to hear from you - your stories, criticisms and information. Click to e mail me.

'Animal Pharm' is now available. Please ask for it at your bookstore to create as much interest as possible or order from amazon and write a review. The book covers a wide range of Mark's research, including bovine TB, BSE, CJD, Kuru, Guam disease, CWD, multiple sclerosis, pesticides, heavy metals and gives background information on his life and the long campaign to shut him up.
Remembrance Sunday 12/11/2006
It is with great, great sadness that I am writing this entry this evening. My Brother, Mark died peacefully this afternoon at his farm in the Brendon Hills in Somerset.
Just before Christmas last year he was diagnosed with a brain tumour - a glioblastoma multiforme, grade 4 and following surgery he fought the disease courageously, without complaint for 10 months.
He was a true explorer and he taught me much and inspired me. We had some great times together and I'll miss him like crazy. I will write something more in a few days.
Wherever you are Mark - we love you, and you won't be forgotten. I will struggle to keep alive and progress your ideas in anyway I can.

CFS references - numerous up to date refs to peer reviewd papers.
CFS lab test results I'm a CFS sufferer and I've published here my test results. If you have the same condition and are assured that there's nothing physically wrong with you then take a look at these results and take heart. I was told by my GP that I would never find anything wrong and to give up my quest to find abnormality. Luckily I took no notice. Nigel Purdey
Chronic Wasting disease - CWD - 'The influence of trace minerals on susceptibility to chronic wasting disease' by Peter Flood. Mark's ongoing environmental analysis of CWD territory has revealed 3 key culprit metals - Barium, strontium and silver as the likely causal agents. Unfortunately Peter Flood's research, which tries to undermine Mark's work, didn't test for any of these metals and didn't therefore test the theory. Here is Mark's full Rebuttal and the text of the full paper : 'Elevated silver, barium and strontium in antlers, vegetation and soils sourced from CWD cluster areas: Do Ag/Ba/Sr piezoelectric crystals represent the transmissible pathogenic agent in TSEs?'
