The Book Mad Cow USA is now Available Free Online

Mad Cow USA: Could the Nightmare Happen Here by Sheldon Rampton & John
Stauber is Now Available Online

Web Note: This is the best book in the world on Mad Cow and Mad Cow-like
Diseases

In November of 1997 Sheldon Rampton and I published Mad Cow USA: Could the
Nightmare Happen Here? It has since been favorably reviewed in publications
including New Scientist, Chemical and Engineering News, and JAMA. Call me
biased, but I think it is the best book on the topic.

Since we wrote the book three years ago we have witnessed the worsening
situation in Europe (very predictable due to exported contaminated feed), the
failure of the US government to close dangerous loopholes in US regulations
regarding byproduct feeding, the failure of the supplement industry to pull
glandular supplements off the market or to warn consumers that they are
composed of the most TSE infectious parts of animals, the deaths of two young
hunters in Utah and Oklahoma who might be the first human victims of mad deer
and mad elk disease in the US, and a growing death toll in the UK and Europe
among human victims of BSE. Therefore, we've decided to put our book on the
web so that it is available to educate a wider audience.

To download MCUSA, visit our web page for that book:

Click on the icon that says "Download PDF Version," and it should
download to your computer. It's a fairly big file (1.6 megabytes), which
will take about 8 minutes to download with a 28.8 modem connection.

Sincerely, John Stauber
