Gupta on xmrv

[Recovery Soon]

No one knows yet- which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Is XMVR the cause or another CFS correlated virus, like EBV and HHV6?

What separates XMVR- is that it was only found in 3.7% of the regular population vs. 95% in the CFS population.

The other viruses are much more common in the regular population, which makes the XMRV correlation so unique.

Dr. Bell's theory is that XMRV is the "puppet master" which activates latent HHV6 and EBV in CFS patients.

That would explain why other treatments for those viruses have been modestly beneficial.

I hope XMRV is found the be the cause- which would make it much more treatable- but Time will tell.

Either way, I think we will shortly get much information regarding this condition- and hopefully more treatment options.

To Annie's point- I can't wait for the day that I no longer have to hear about Mercury Amalgams.

No matter how it shakes dow, I think Gupta's program is helpful in the meantime.
