I am not 100% about this but to my knowledge from the anthropology this was not done that much? Not saying that manganese might not cause it though.
0 is a fine number - but following up on this, any idea about the farmers who supposedly had eaten som of their own animals who got it, who then got the syndrom? was it misreporting? might the farmer also have suffered from the same manganese or radiation as his cattle? I dont expect you to know this but would be nice to know.
This is obviously a sidetrack but how can you think that? now I might be misunderstanding what you are saying or defining something differently but... ok, faith as action? what does that imply ? Faith as in going through with something based on a conviction? because that sure can be done while you are afraid and is usually defined as courage (no sardonic tone ment)
that is a point. I know it was only the Fore tribe and that it was (and sometimes still is) practiced by others. Now it wasnt actually cannibalism per se but a ritualistic licking of the corpses that was specific for this tribe. But the manganese could be a factor thats reasonable. I just thought the Fore tribe didnt do that too much? Also it might be the combination maybe if the actually did cook with it extensively. It would explain that they and not the other tribes got it . Meaning to be clear here, maybe the area was heavily radiated and when combined with a bit manganese ti might have tipped the scale for the Fore but not the others. On the other hand no other relevant tribes there did the specific ritual either, but I dont belive the ritual was the cause. It would be interesting if anyone can verify if the FOre actually did a lot of cooking with the plane parts not only sporadically. Of course they might just had their village on a specific spill sight for who knows what especially radioactive material.
I only remember it being reported back then, I dont think I can relocate it. Just thought someone might know about it as it was very hyped back then (to my memory)
I guess its hard to settle this one - I dont belive in singular causes of action, especially not in complex behaviour like willed actions. Thus this seems like a nonconsecutive conclusion. What would a faith based vs a fear based action look like from your perspective? Would you say that faith in this context could be exchanged by the word trust so that an action driven by trust can not be the same as an action driven by fear? That makes at least a bit more sense to me. Still I find it hard to think of any action that was so singularly driven and I am not sure the multitude sources of willed action can be quantified so that it is possible to say that one is the leading driving action. But to avoid completly leaving the main subject - how would it look applied to the question I raised about eating prions? :)
One of the places on the map is where the 3-mile island incident occurred.It would be interesting to investigate these wasting disease clusters to see if they have low copper and/or high manganese in the exposed rocks, soil and water.

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease that affects North American cervids (hoofed ruminant mammals, with males characteristically having antlers).www.cdc.gov
Peter Warhurst in 1993 is the one I think I remember. there was also others 3 (dont know why the link shows up as only the number 3 but there you go)

correcting my self partly. There seem to have been several diverse practices including everything from licking to eating muscle meat to brains. But no it was not only the Fore people but also adjacent "tribes" so it affected a whole area. Might the manganese combined with radiation have brought it on and the it was spread through consumption??
all possbile and relevant. How do we know that it is causation and not correlation though? I cant say if the below argument about contaminated pfizer vaccines might explain it, and I am not saying it couldnt be from the vaccine - the possible mechainsm is available even if only in theory. But this is one maybe two cases and since there are hundreds of cases around the world every year,(Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in the United Kingdom: analysis of epidemiological surveillance data for 1970-96 - PubMed) someone was bound to come down with it after injection with the level of vaccination going on. Also it might not have caused it but made a coming prion disease erupt due to the stress on the body that the vaccine is. My point being how can this be proof. I feel this is not at all conclusive

it is not evidence at all. It is just one of the examples you asked for which I wondered if could have another explanations. See my other much more convincing research links for something that looks more like evidence.
