Chronic Fatigue and the XMRV

[HEIRS Environmental Illness Support]

I am like a lot of folks that is a little hesistant to jump on the
bandwagon and get all excited about this XMRV virus and its
association to chronic fatigue syndrome. I even saw on TV where a
doctor noted this was "really big" news. However, the question is are
the results reproducable and how long is it going to take to reproduce
them. It does however, put a bug into "the powers that be" that should

Unfortunately, it may open another can of worms we all may not

In watching the HHS Advisory Committee today -- a few things came up
that are interesting. The first is there is already tests out there

months before a reputable test was available. Although he was hesitant
to put a timeline on it...

So no, I am not gonna worry about a test until someone with reputable
qualifications out there says that their is valuable science to back
up the quality of the test.

I should have made myself more clear -- it was a researcher on
retroviruses that spoke for quite alone time -- that said he noted
that tests were available and he suggested that what he saw on the
Internet was a "very bad idea"!
