ME/CFS: The XMRV Retrovirus

[TheMagdaDar]

"This argument is now over..." Unfortunately Dr. Donnica is full of shit.

Wouldn't it be lovely if the CDC actually did some physiological research instead of doing genetic studies that apply inappropriate psych labels based on flimsy hypothetical bases and w/o corresponding supporting psychometric data in a biased attempt to "associate" ME/CFS with psych causation and show some inherent defect in the patient as being responsible for the illness. It's a nice thought to wish the CDC would take this research and run with it but that has not been the modus operandii.

CDC as usual did not find XMRV in their CFS cohort but NIH/FDA did and their paper has been held back. FDA/NIH XMRV CFS ME study "The authors truly believe they have an even strongerpaper than they submitted, and I think we all will be pleased when it finallypublishes." Wanda Jones. Dr. Wanda Jones is the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Healthin the Office of Public Health and Science (OPHS), , she has said that HHS ...is not holding the study back &it will now soon be

published

Many chronic diseases (AIDS, MCS, CFS, FM, ME, Cancer and so on) are caused by toxic chemicals.

[mattbourke]

@glaubehoffnungliebe8 umm noo, AIDS is caused by a sexually transmitted virus HIV, if it was a toxic chemical then the highest rates of it would be in developed countries and not among the poor and most sexually promiscuous, go away with your fake science

I have fibro and have for 10 years, but I'm not sure I'm buying this yet.

[unduki]

Nimblened, you really knock yourself out of the realm of reason when you engage in such vicious language and personal insults. Your viewpoint is considered garbage.

[nimblened]

With only statistical evidence. No knowledge of what the virus does. This is fucking insulting. This is not science. This illness has ruined my life. SO SHUT YOUR HOLE YOU WHORE I HOPE YOU GET IT YOURSELF. YOU CAN'T TELL THE WORLD YOU HAVE FOUND THE BIOLOGICAL REASON FOR CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME WHEN IT ONLY ACCOUNTS FOR %67.

[djcondra]

This is a huge breakthrough. I am sorry you are so full of bitterness. I hope some day we both can look back at this moment and appreciate its significance, while being given effective treatment for our conditions.

[FibroBeth]

Please calm down. While it is too early in this stage of the game to say it is causal, the subsequent testing found that the virus was actually in almost 100% of the CFS test samples. Not the original 67% as first believed.

Wishing this horrible disease on other people is not something I think you really want.

@FibroBeth

One thing you have to keep in mind is that people who are susceptible to these infections proliferation have metal issues and most likely GI issues of some sort, and that it opens the door to any infection that you come across, they can systemically break your defenses with synergy as well, there's -always- co-infections, borellia, mycoplasma, the list is extensive. But of course without chelation of metals you can't truly get rid of them, chelation has been the best for me so far.

[nimblened]

yeah you don't know a lot of shit. So just shut the fuck up until you have your facts straight. Instead of bullshit statistical evidence being falsely presented as scientific when it is only circumstantial. GARBAGE.

"The WPI laboratory team detected XMRV sequences in 68 of 101 (67%) CFS patients tested and in 8 of 218 (3.7%) healthy control subjects. The Cleveland Clinic confirmed the presence of XMRV in a subset of these same CFS cases, 7 of the 11 (64%) samples from WPI."
