XMRV/CFS/AUTISM

[Guest guest]

Hi

I reached out to a president of a lab that is testing for the newly found XMRV

virus which is being found ninety eight percent of the time in CFS. They have

had small samplings in autistic children, also testing positive. I contacted him

to see if I couldn't get him to realize, that maybe this virus is passed down to

baby. I have CFS and two with autism. Atypical MS is also involved in this

virus. If you have these two situations, CFS and Autism in your children, please

contact me?

So, he offered to study the results of anyone with CFS who has a child with

autism. All would be free. I would love if you can reach out to your lists, and

facebook accounts, and let them know that they can test for this virus for free,

for a study we are putting together. He was quite interested in the fact that

this could be vectored in lyme ticks. The virus is a mouse leukemia virus, which

acts as an immune depresser much like HIV, but non fatal persistent and slow.

Many who have lyme often have fatiguing illnesses. He will expose the mouse to

lyme infected ticks and see if those ticks carry the virus after biting the

mouse who is infected with the virus. Then, he will test those with CFS and

Autism...it would be especially intriguing if you also have diagnosees of lyme

disease in both? If not, that's ok, just the CFS and Autism will do. I need

around fifty families with this case history.

I would need people in this study who have a diagnosis of CFS by their doctors,

and of course children on the spectrum. I have contacted CFS groups, Autism

groups, Lyme groups...if you have any pertinent people I can talk with, can you

please contact me?

XMRV = Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus

CFS = chronic fatigue syndrome

Here's a bit more info (probably not from the "best" source):

Hope this helps somewhat,
