A study on children has found further evidence that ME ,or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, could be caused by a virus.
Scientists at the University of Dundee study found abnormalities in the white blood cells of children with ME/CFS, suggesting they had been fighting off infection.
ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) causes debilitating tiredness.
About 150,000 people in the UK have ME. 15,000 of whom are children

I don't really know why this is in the news.

Other researchers have reported similar findings not only recently
Microbial infections in eight genomic subtypes of chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis

Detection of an infectious retrovirus, XMRV, in blood cells of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome.

but right back in Immunologic abnormalities in chronic fatigue syndrome.

We thought we were so clever inventing the polio vaccine but were too stupid to realise that the real cause of epidemics is the low immune status of the population. If instead of developing a continuous stream of vaccines to try to keep ahead of the rate of virus proliferation we had tackled to problem at source we wouldn't be in the current situation.
It's the same with anti biotics, we've almost reached the limit of anti biotic development but still the bugs keep developing resistance. The more antibiotics /vaccines we use the stronger and more virulent strains proliferate. We should have been improving natural immune status by correcting vitamin D deficiency and other vitamin/mineral insufficiency states.

Despite all evidence and research to the contrary the British government through its subsidiaries NICE and the Medical Research Council steadfastly refuses to accept any viral or other biological reason for Myalgic Encepholmyelitis.

The whole government funding is geared to defining the disease as a somatization problem. ie. all in the mind. Consequently a whole host of psychiatric doctors have been enrolled at vast government expense who have come up with all sorts of psychiatric models for ME symptoms and have constantly debunked any other possible medical explanation.

No doubt the government is anxious to keep it that way as the costs of funding research and treatment to a retroviral explanation, which is what the XMRV virus is, could be hugely expensive.

There has been one large government funded study on ME in the UK which was carried out by the this government psychiatric research lobby.

The results of this study have never been made public and even more sinister the results of the study are protected by a ban on any publishing of results for 83 YEARS!!

Bans on the results of government enquiries being made public are normally no longer than 30 years. This ban has led to all sorts of speculation that there could be a cover up for a vaccination scandal or some other medical or governmental responsibility for the growth of ME among the population. This sort of speculation is fuelled by the fact that lay members of the study panel have been threatened with the Official Secrets Act if they discose any conclusions of the enquiry.

Tests have shown that the XMRV is also found in some types of prostate cancer and there is speculation that it may be spread sexually. More worryingly it was found that 7% of the general population in some controlled studies were carriers of the virus.

Its is a similar type of virus to HIV-1, and part of a family of MULV's(Murine Leukemia Viruses), and while there have been no official drug trials carried out for treatment of this virus, a doctor and her daughter who were among the first to be have been diagnosed with XMRV are at present leading the way in treatment by taking a course of HIV drugs including AZT which appear to be helping.

The great fear that this virus can be spread through blood transfusions has forced the Canadian,New Zealand and Australian governments to ban accepting blood from anybody diagnosed with ME. The British blood transfusion service will also enforce a similar ban from November 1st.

Strange isnt it? The British blood transfusion service shortly wont accept blood from ME patients because of a virus that could spread ME, and the British government, who fund the blood transfusion service, at the same time is refusing to acknowledge there could be a viral cause for ME.

Its the same deal that happened with the SV40 virus that was in polio vaccines... the hugest coverup from the public in history. This virus is found in a multitude of cancers but its orgin was from the polio vaccine. SV40 is a monkey virus that entered the vaccine because they used monkey tissue to produce the vaccine. Now many people carry the virus and it is sexually transmitted.

The dirtiest deal on it was when it was discovered and the pharmaceutical company was ordered to destroy it they lied and kept selling it anyway.

Some people have cured their fibromyalgia with MMS. Remember fibroymalgia is not a disease and it has no difinative etiology. It is only a group of presenting symptoms. There could be a number of causes.

Before I heard about the late effects of polio I thought that ME/CFS was probably the cause of my problems.
I think it's fair to say
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is A polio by another name

I've found regarding my condition as the results an inflammatory condition has enabled me to control it's progressive nature. That's how I got into Vitamin D, omega 3 and magnesium research and of course an anti inflammatory diet.

Have you ever been tested for Lyme disease? (Borrelia - there are several strains).
This illness in known as the Great Imitator and many many people go mis-diagnosed because their doctors to not know enough about Lyme disease. Some docotrs in the US have been struck off the role for daring to treat this illness and it's co-infections. I was misdiagnosed with MS. 10 years later it was confirmed + for Lyme + co-infections.

CFS - chronic fatigue syndrome is just another basket catch all term for a disease they no not the cause of. If your doc tells you you have CFS but cannot attach a name to it like coxsacki or epstein barr he has no clue what is the cause of the disease and there are likely many causes for this symptom picture in different people. Some CFS is caused by epstein barr and I know that MMS can cure it in about 1 week.

Fibromyalgia is not a disease, it is a condition, and thus can be cured.

The number of causes is one.. fungus.. and MMS is antifungal.

I recently watched an interview with a female M.D. from Texas. The host asked her "of all the patients that you have, how many would you say have fungal issues?" She replied "all of them".

Joccosta, welcome to the forum.

I have been getting quite a few insights on lyme these days... I do think a cure has been found and is being provided by some doctors in my area... fortunatley you do not have to come to them for the treatment. Its pretty easy and can be done at home for most people.

According to them many many people carry lyme, even if they do not have any active symptoms at the time. It can be sexually transmitted and babies can be born with it.

Hi There, I was interested in the post as someone was looking at MS / Lyme and had to add my experience in another post. Fortunately I have the only Lyme literate medical doctor (LLMD) in South Africa looking after me. Unfortunately there is no cure for chronic Lyme. My treatment with antibiotics is expected to take 2 to 3 years to get better due to all my co-infections and the fact that I was ill for 25 years with no diagnosis. It is tragic how easily it can be transmitted. People just see it, but it is a bit like HIV/Aids. research is now even looking at the links between young children wiht autism and Lyme disease. I enjoyed your other posts. :-)
