Guest guest Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I just found this: The senior author of the study, Judy Mikovits, director of research at the Whittemore Institute in Reno, Nevada, said further blood tests have revealed that more than 95 per cent of patients with the syndrome have antibodies to the virus †" indicating they have been infected with XMRV, which can lie dormant within a patient's DNA. " With those numbers, I would say, yes we've found the cause of chronic fatigue syndrome. We also have data showing that the virus attacks the human immune system, " said Dr Mikovits. She is testing a further 500 blood samples gathered from chronic fatigue patients diagnosed in London. " The same percentages are holding up, " she said.
