Hi, and welcome to the web site of Nigel and Mark Purdey. We're interested in 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

We want to hear from you - your stories ,
criticisms and information.

NEW 'Animal Pharm' is now available. Please ask for it at your bookstore to create as much interest as possible.

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.
Nigel

TB, Acidification and Iron 24/3/06 Mark's herd of cattle succumbed to a severe TB   infection during  November  2005. After  applying  his preventative  remedies ( lime / phosphate fertilisers  and  a mineral feed  formulation outlined  in the published paper linked below) the entire herd  reverted to TB-free  status. This was confirmed at DEFRA's routine whole herd TB tests that were  undertaken  in October 2005 / January 2006. The herd remains TB-free today. The likely role of elevated  iron in increasing  susceptibility of the bovine, badger and human to TB infection and proliferation needs to be investigated in much greater depth. Full Paper. Anti-lactoferrin toxicity and elevated iron: The environmental pre-requisites which activate susceptibility to tuberculosis infection? Med Hypotheses. 2006;66(3):513-7. Epub 2005 Dec 1. M Purdey Iron irony - UK Bovine TB. The answer to TB control may lie in a cheap, simple solution - modifying environmental iron. But why consider this when you can spend millions running long badger cull trials. Yes, you've guessed it in the UK the vet authorities are not interested in iron.

Videos. Ten Films, with more to come, are now available to watch on progressive download Film and TV projects : The Crystal Grail, Educating Rida, View of Brighton, Survivor, Green Road, Colony, Whose Hoo, Church going, The Cart, Mad Cows and an Englishman, Marsh and Seaboard. The Crystal grail was shot in 2004 and covers research trips to Queniborough, Suffolk and Norfolk. 'Educating Rida' is a 10 minute film made in 1998 and it shows what we were doing then. It features footage from Iceland, Somerset and Cambridge Uni.

CFS Page 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?'

BSE. Maple Leaf rage - Canadian BSE and How BSE Businessmen are driving the Canadian cattle ranching community to extinction. BSE/vCJD had its origins in human bones used in animal feed in India - comment on this ludicrous theory. 2/9/05 BSE Inquiry : Mark Purdey's main statement + relevant links : Dr Stephen Whatley, all supplementary statements, defense against critics - NOAH, MAFF.
