XMRV: American RED CROSS bans blood donation from CFS patients December 2010

UK Official Statement: Banned ME patient's blood cannot, ''in any way, harm''. The mistakes of HIV are happening all over again for political and not scientific reasons. ME was called 'Yuppie Flu' and HIV was called ''Gay Flu'' by the UK Media. Both involve animal sourced (exogenous) retroviruses, are incurable and infectious. In both diseases, patients cannot donate blood. XMRV+ ME patients have a neuro AIDS and have no access to medical care, no treatment and no antiretroviral drugs. No private health care exists in the UK. It is psychiatry for a neuro invasive retrovirus, or nothing. Welcome to the United Kingdom. Leaders in world health care.....or maybe leaders in being ***ing idiotic and infecting MORE PEOPLE with oncogenic retrovirus that will cause cancer and neurodegenerative diseases and deaths. How? ANIMAL MULV'S CAUSE NEURO DEGENERATIVE DISEASE and CANCER. MULV 's in animals cause elevated MIP-1, MCP, VEGF, TGF-beta 1 ME patients with MULV's have elevated MIP-1, MCP, VEGF, TGF- beta 1 VEGF is angiogenic, and helps activate malignant cancer. ME patients die from Mantle Cell Lymphoma &, Thyroid Cancer. Go figure..........

XMRV & Blood Safety Louis M. Katz, MD, a specialist in infectious diseases and a prominent figure in national blood banking organizations, provided background about blood safety issues related to xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) -- a retrovirus that has been linked to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Public health officials are investigating the potential threat to the nation's blood supply posed by XMRV due to the possibility that it might be transmitted through transfusions, as are other retroviruses such as HIV and HTLV. Dr. Katz reviewed current XMRV research initiatives and will discuss investigations of the retrovirus by those working in transfusion medicine.

CDC Coverup of 'CFS': *MUST WATCH VIDEO* (1 of 2) Report on CDC's management of CFS in 1996: Carbon Copy reaction from CDC 14 years ago towards CAV to XMRV today. (17 million people now estimated to carry infectious retrovirus XMRV globally due to CDC's refusal to act). All human exogenous retroviruses cause: Neuro Immune disease/Immune supression/Cancers. 'Chronic Fatigue Syndrome' is a bogus label for a deadly serious viral infection, you better believe it. For more information on XMRV, see the Whittemore Peterson Institute for Neuro Immune Disease on the internet and on Facebook.

XMRV Virus may be Linked to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome The XMRV virus (xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus) is aleady linked to prostate cancer and affects over one million Americans. However, a new study shows the XMRV virus may also be linked to chronic fatigue syndrome. Cleveland Clinic physician Dr. Robert Silverman, who first discovered the XMRV virus, talks more about the findings in the study and how he hopes the findings will spur further research that could help people with XMRV-related diseases.

XMRV in Prostate Cancer & CFS July 2010

CHRONIC FATIGUE ME XMRV VIRUS The Xenotropic Murine Leukeumia Virus- Related Virus, or XMRV is a new contender for possibly causing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and ME (Myalgic encephalomyelitis). XMRV is a gamma-retrovirus, and it has been known that in animals, gamma-retroviruses can be oncogenic, ie cause cancer, but they were not believed to be able to infect humans, but recent findings with prostate cancer, and now, CFS, tend to dispute this previous notion. Although no one is claiming yet that XMRV is the causative agent of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, at last, there is a possibility of a better explanation for this puzzling illness.

The Whittemore Peterson Institute - Thankyou - XMRV Chronic Fatigue Syndrome CFS ME A huge thankyou to the Whittemore Peterson Institute (WPI) who work hard everyday studying ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), and Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome)

XMRV: Whittemore Peterson Institute Opens (2 of 2) The Whittemore Peterson Institute for Neuro Immune Disease (a non-profit organisation) are opening the world's first clinic and research centre paired with Nevada University in the United States. In october 2009 scientists from the WPI made public the discovery of XMRV in 68% of patients with CFS and published the discovery in the worlds most reputable scientific journal, 'SCIENCE'. Months later the WPI revealed that with further enhanced testing methods, the cohort of CFS patients they tested had now elevated to 98.8% positive for XMRV. Soon, psychiatrists such as Simon Wessely (who have invested their life's work in calling CFS a mental disorder) released negative studies of XMRV in persons without neuro immune disease, using decades old frozen blood samples from psychiatric clinics. Scandelously, the negative XMRV studies were found to involve people diagnosed over the telephone, and the researchers did not use a positive known positive XMRV sample to base their 'negative' results on. Even when the WPI sent known positive XMRV samples from CFS patients, those with vested interests refused to use them *without telling the public or printing this in their scientific paper*. Critically, the 'failed XMRV studies were NOT replication studies using the same scientific methods as the WPI used, or even the same patient cohorts. No replication study has ever failed to find XMRV in patients with CFS, which is the key feature when considering if XMRV does or does not exist. in ...

Update of Blood XMRV Working Group Activities Note: Due to a technical problem, the recording begins near the end of the first presentation given by Dr. Graham Simmons. We will make a separate recording of Dr. Simmons' presentation available at a later date. The Department of Health and Human Services Blood XMRV Scientific Research Working Group (SRWG) was established in late 2009 to design and coordinate research studies to evaluate whether XMRV poses a threat to blood safety. It is presently overseeing a four-phase study with the following objectives: - Phase I: Evaluating the ***ytical sensitivity of multiple XMRV nucleic acid assays - Phase II: Pilot clinical studies to evaluate optimal processing time and sample preparation - Phase III: Evaluating clinical sensitivity and specificity of XMRV nucleic acid and antibody assays - Phase IV: Initial estimation of the proportion of blood donors who are positive for XMRV nucleic acids and/or antibodies. Results of the Phase I (***ytical panels) were presented on July 27, 2010 at a meeting of the FDA's Blood Products Advisory Committee (BPAC). Results of Phase II (pilot clinical studies) were presented to BPAC on Dec. 14, 2010. In this webinar, Graham Simmons, PhD, and Michael Busch, MD, PhD, of Blood Systems Research Institute and University of California-San Francisco provide an update on the Blood XMRV Scientific Research Working Group studies, including results from Phase IIa and IIb, as well as future retrospective repository and prospective screening studies of ...

Tragic testimony: CDC's handling of XMRV in ME/CFS receives federal applause. October 13, 2010: Potentially, tens of millions of people in the USA are infected with MULV's & XMRV infections. More people are ignoring the CDC lies that MULV is a 'contamination' of laboratories. Eventually people with neglected neuroimmune diseases will find out they have been infected since birth . Where does the finger point? The CDC. A government 'Centre for Disease Control' agency whom without explanation in the 1980's (mid HIV crisis - think about it.....) suddenly invented a terrible label of 'Chronic Fatigue Syndrome' after multiple outbreaks in American towns of unexplained severe sudden onset viral disease that neurologically crippled 25% of people who developed the illness. These outbreaks, were refered to as 'mass hysteria' and 'CFS' never had money spent on biological research from that day. Over the years, the criteria of 'CFS' became so laughable, that eventually a diagnosis was possible by a doctor assessing someone with long term tiredness and a sore throat. (Nothing to do with people who are unable to sit upright in a chair, walk, stand, wash/feed themselves who all reported cardiac dysfunction, severe pain, shortness of breath, loss of short term memory and flu like symptoms that never went away). 20 years since the CDC invented the joke label of 'CFS', the numbers have grown from thousands, to millions infected. The 2010 American government FDA paper (published in PNAS) on MULV's in 'CFS' showed 87% infectIon rate, and 7% blood donors infected also ...

Lords: Countess of Mar Question on ME lifetime blood ban (8 Nov 2010) This is a debate in the House of Lords (UK). The Countess of Mar has asked for further information on the reason for the lifetime blood ban now introduced for ME patients in the UK. The purpose of the question was to persuade the Department of Health to be more transparent in its dealings with the public and to ask what progress is being made with research in the UK into this disease. The ban is to protect the blood supply, but Earl Howe, like the rest of the Government, is misleading the public about this very serious disease and its association with the retrovirus XMRV. Notice how he cannot say the word leukemia, when talking about Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV). Also, notice how someone has arrange for one person to talk about CBT, as if ME patients were actually receiving treatment on the NHS. All this is to keep the costs down, and divert a public panic. Transcript of this can be found here: If you want to read a review of were we currently stand on XMRV research, please read this article by Ila Singh. It is accurate, truthful, and up to date.

ME/CFS: The XMRV Retrovirus Shown on ABC News "Good Morning America" with Tanya Rivero. Reproduced here in the public interest under a banner of "Fair Use". As a result of privately funded research by the Whittemore Peterson Institute ( ) the prestigious medical journal "Science" recently published a study which showed that 67% of severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome sufferers tested had the XMRV Retrovius (xenotropic murine leukaemia virus-related virus) in their blood cells, as opposed to only 3.7% of healthy control subjects. Further studies on the XRMV Retrovirus in ME patients have found that a staggering 95% of sufferers have antibodies to this retrovirus! Dr Donnica Moore, eidtor and chief of "Womans Health for Life" had this to say about the Whittemore Peterson Institute's ME/CFS retrovirus studies: "This study shows us first and foremost, most importantly, ... there is a biologic basis for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. So we dont want to hear any more about 'oh they have depression" or 'its all in their heads'. That arguement is over."

Virus Is Found in Many With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Virus Is Found in Many With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Many people with chronic fatigue syndrome are infected with a little known virus that may cause or at least contribute to their illness, researchers are reporting. The syndrome, which causes prolonged and severe fatigue, body aches and other symptoms, has long been a mystery ailment, and patients have sometimes been suspected of malingering or having psychiatric problems rather than genuine physical ones. Worldwide, 17 million people have the syndrome, including at least one million Americans. An article published online Thursday in the journal Science reports that 68 of 101 patients with the syndrome, or 67 percent, were infected with an infectious virus, xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus, or XMRV. By contrast, only 3.7 percent of 218 healthy people were infected. Continuing work after the paper was published has found the virus in nearly 98 percent of about 300 patients with the syndrome, said Dr. Judy A. Mikovits, the lead author of the paper. XMRV is a retrovirus, a member of the same family of viruses as the AIDS virus. These viruses carry their genetic information in RNA rather than DNA, and they insert themselves into their hosts genetic material and stay for life. Dr. Mikovits and other scientists cautioned that they had not yet proved that the virus causes the syndrome. In theory, people with the syndrome may have some other, underlying health problem that makes them prone to being infected by the ...

CFS Research Review - XMRV (5 of 6) April 2010

Parent reveals his ME/CFS spread within family & BOTH his children have Autism October 13, 2010: This video testimony streamed via the Internet was suddenly cut off when broadcasted live. By coincidence the gentleman talking was the only person to directly question the claims of XMRV in ME/CFS being 'contamination' rather than accepting that XMRV (MULV) is a probable public health pandemic not seen since HIV/AIDS and linked to multiple neuro immune disease states such as ME/CFS. He also revealed there were other scientists who have found MULV's, other than the WPI. He also reported that his own children have Autism (a not uncommon finding in families where a person has ME/CFS). This is important as Autistic CHILDREN have been found to be infected with XMRV by the WPI, Nevada USA. This is something the CDC don't want anyone to know as 1 in 106 children in the USA have a form of Autism. (Do the math!). Search youtube video: REQUIEM FOR A SPECTRE

Human XMRV glycogag protein is 100% match with laboratory mouse strain MULV family member (XMRV) has transmembrane protein that matches 100% with laboratory mouse strain. Think what that might mean of the origins of XMRV in humans..... Either: Contaminated vaccine and consequent blood donor programmes may have caused human XMRV to potentially infect 17 million people globally. Or Mouse retroviruses found only in LABORATORY MICE are naturally occuring in humans, are harmless, and people severely disabled with ME/CFS who are unable to care for themselves and are infected with XMRV retrovirues, are universally mentally ill and simply need to do more 'gaded exercise' and brainwash themselves with CBT according to expert psychiatrists. Which is it? Have a guess, then if you have disabling neuro immune disease and have been given the label ME/CFS, get tested and see for yourself: (USA).
