Re: Virus indicated as CFS cause- meridian TV UK

[Guest guest]

Ann,

This is very good news, yes?

I can tell you first hand that it is true. My doctor told me that any

of the stealth pathogens can cause cfs. I believe my doc, because all

the other docs I went to were clueless, and I believe that says alot

in and of itself. My initial test results showed mycoplasma,

cytolomegalovirus (cmv), Epstein Barre, HHV-6. My last round of

testing showed negative results for the viruses, and much lowered

antibodies to mycoplasma (~2 years ago igg 1100, now igg is 250). My

doctor told me that the reason for the negative viral results was

that my immune system is returning now that the mycoplasma is

leaving. So, for some of these viruses, a healthy immune system is

all that is necessary to conquer them, problem is getting there.

Here is an excerpt from Doctor Nicholson. Notice he alludes to the

fact that there are also " similiar viruses " . I took that to mean

Unknown.

" Another type of infection that appears to play an important role in

various chronic illnesses is viral in origin. Different types of

viruses have been found in CFS, FMS and various autoimmune diseases.

One of the most common viral infections found in CFS patients is

Human Herpes Virus-6 or HHV-6 [7, 8]. Antibodies against HHV-6 are

routinely found in CFS patients, and most of these patients have the

HHV-6A variant [9]. HHV-6 appears to play a role as a major

contributing factor in several chronic illnesses [7, 8]. Although

several studies have associated HHV-6 with CFS [9-13], there are also

reports that could not find a HHV-6 association with CFS/ME [14, 15].

When we studied CFS or FMS patients we found that approximately 31%

had HHV-6 infections [5].

Others have found even higher percentages of patients with HHV-6

infections [9-12]. In control subjects without evidence of signs or

symptoms we found HHV-6 infections in 9 of 100 subjects. None of

these HHV-6-positive control subjects had other infections [5].

In addition to HHV-6, cytomegalovirus or CMV has been found in

chronic illness patients. CMV-like " stealth virus " has been

identified in CFS/ME patients by isolation and nucleotide sequencing

[16]. Similar viruses have also been found in bipolar patients and

patients with acute encephalopathy [17]. Although the exact role that

this type of virus plays is not known, this class of virus is known

to cause neurological dysfunction, and they can produce molecules

similar to known chemokine or chemical messenger molecules important

in inflammation [18].
