Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow!
I'm wandering about the Spirit of Santa, and a beautiful puppy left in
the cold over night. We brought her in and fed and watered her. Made
her a warm bed in a card board box and named her Sarah. Now to see if
we can work into our budget to care and keep her!
I'm waiting on the National CFIDS Foundation's Winter Edition for
their XMRV input. We are experiencing many different thoughts and
emotions since news of XMRV entered our world.
I did watch the Dr. Oz show and was shocked to realize not one word
mentioned of Men or XMRV finding's re: Prostate Cancer.
For several years I've trusted the NCF for answers concerning ME/
CFIDS, FM, GWI, MCS, and other related illnesses. I will share at a
later time all my thoughts about XMRV.
This reminds me so much of what went on with research by Dr. Thomas
McPherson Brown. From what I can remember, in the end, NIH granted
grants based on Dr. Brown's research. I haven't researched the latest
research based on Dr. Brown's discoveries so if anyone has researched
and wishes to share, please, post the research you've gathered on this
thread to assist in Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness.
What about medical professionals who were given Hep B Vaccines,
because we worked in high risk area's?

National CFIDS Foundation Adds to its Innovative
Research Grant Funding for 2009
National CFIDS Foundation Adds to its Innovative Research Grant
Funding
for 2009 Press Release - December 11, 2009
The National CFIDS Foundation (NCF) of Needham, MA has announced its
latest research grant recipient to add to its growing list of funded
projects which total $ 451,160 for 2009.
Vitaly Citovsky, Ph.D., Professor in the Department of Biochemistry
and
Cell Biology at SUNY Stony Brook, is the latest recipient of a
research
grant for $ 105,000 from the NCF. Citovsky's grant is titled
"Potential
synergism between cyanobacteria and Agrobacterium and its molecular
basis."
According to Alan Cocchetto, NCF's Medical Director, "This research is
aimed at determining if there is a synergistic relationship between
two
very unique bacteria. It may be possible for agrobacterium to develop
a
symbiotic relationship with cyanobacteria within the human microbiome,
ultimately enhancing the cyanobacteria's pathogenicity and to
aggravate
the medical condition of the host. This is important since
agrobacterium
is known to genetically transform human cells. Furthermore, this
research will complement the toxicology work currently underway by
Harry
Davis, Ph.D. and his team at the University of Hawaii on ciguatera and
cyanobacteria and how they relate to CFIDS/ME."
Gail Kansky, NCF's President stated "2009 has been a terrific year for
the Foundation. Through the hard work of dedicated volunteers along
with
generous donations from patients and benefactors, we have been able to
provide directed funding to some truly outstanding researchers
worldwide
in an effort to conquer this disease. 2009 represents our largest
funding year ever since the Foundation first began its formal research
grant program in 2002. We have made tremendous strides in our
knowledge
of this disease. These grants reflect our efforts to build upon our
previous research in a step-by-step fashion to connect all the
scientific and medical dots relating to CFIDS/ME. The NCF represents
what a true charity should be as there are no paid employees and our
donations go to fund innovative research projects. We look forward to
2010 because the results of this research should provide much hope to
millions of patients around the globe."
Founded in 1997, the goals of the NCF are to help fund medical
research
to find a cause, expedite treatments and eventually a cure for CFIDS/
ME.
The NCF is funded solely by individual contributions. Additional
information can be found on our website at www.ncf-net.org and in The
National Forum quarterly newsletter. The NCF can be reached by phone
at
781-449-3535.

That I took two very large chunks of $ and invested in a labrotory so Ican
get my "pay day" for my future.
FMS was the cash cow and now XMRV is the new one!
I hope my stock in Lyrica takes off as crazy as the people using it.
CB
Yup, it's my turn!
