How HHV-6 Develops Resistance to Ganciclovir

http://herpes-online.net/article/nlm-11602788/Zovirax If HHV-6 is the real cause of AIDS, here are some of the implications: 1. HIV is a massive scientific fraud. Something akin to a Ponzi scheme. Scientists who challenged the HIV theory of AIDS (the ones who have been thuggishly censored and silenced) turn out to be on the money. 2. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Autism (and many other so-called HHV-6 related mysterious epidemics) are part of the so-called AIDS epidemic.  Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Autism both are clearly the results of the ravages of HHV-6. 3. AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has been artificially and politically separated into two epidemics. We are living in a period of CFS/AIDS apartheid. So-called AIDS patients have to sit in the back of the HHV-6 epidemic bus while the befuddled HHV-6/CFS patients and HHV-6/Autism victims sit up front. Nobody is well-served. 4.

HHV-6 in Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome

"Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is the limiting factor to long-term survival after lung transplantation." A new study has found evidence to "warrant further studies to elucidate a possible causal link between HHV-6 and BOS." If HHV-6 is the real cause of AIDS, here are some of the implications: 1. HIV is a massive scientific fraud. Something akin to a Ponzi scheme. Scientists who challenged the HIV theory of AIDS (the ones who have been thuggishly censored and silenced) turn out to be on the money. 2.

Human Herpes Virus 6 variant A (HHV-6A) directly linked to multiple sclerosis-like illness.

Evidence Presented at American Neurology Association Annual Meeting SAN DIEGO, Oct. 5, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Dr. Claude Genain of the University of California San Francisco Medical Center presented evidence at the American Neurology Association Annual Meeting this week that shows a direct link between human herpes virus 6 variant A (HHV-6A) and a multiple sclerosis-like illness. Dr. Genain injected common marmoset monkeys with HHV-6 variants A & B. Most notably, only infection with HHV-6 variant A resulted in illness. The monkeys developed lab evidence and signs of chronic autoimmune demyelination of the central nervous system, the hallmark of multiple sclerosis. This is the first time that any animal infected with HHV-6A has developed clinical pathology of the central nervous system, and the most direct evidence to date of a possible causal connection between HHV-6A and multiple sclerosis. Dr. Genain's marmoset developed weight loss and paralysis with sensory deficits af

Gallo on HHV-6

Here's what Robert Gallo had to say about HHV-6 in an NIH interview in 1995: Have we ever argued for a possible cofactor? Yes, with the qualification I just told you, that it is obvious that some things will promote progression and some things will inhibit progression. One of those things may be the genetics of me versus you. We can say dose is a factor that can lead to progression, or lack of it, and at a greater or lesser rate. But we have argued for certain herpesviruses as possibly being a factor in promoting AIDS progression. Several groups have argued for cytomegalovirus because it does do things and it does activate more HIV in some subtle settings. In the middle of the 1980s, we became aware that the lymphomas that were associated with HIV infection were perhaps one-third of the time EBV-positive. Epstein-Barr virus, as you know, can immortalize some B cells and, when you have EBV-positive lymphomas, generally they are the kind of lymphomas that, more

Diabetes Insipidus may also link AIDS and CFIDS

In a recent Co-Cure posting on CFIDS, Rich Van Konynenburg writes "we know that many PWCs have mild diabetes insipidus." The following appeared on the Aegis site which is devoted to AIDS research: Int Conf AIDS 1994 Aug 7-12; 10:196 (abstract no. PB0797) Harris P, Curry R; AIDS Clinical Research Center of Washington, DC 20009. OBJECTIVE: Ten of 200 patients have complained over the last year of polyuria, polydipsia and nocturia. We were interested in whether diabetes insipidus (DI) may be directly associated with this infection. METHODS: We measured urine and serum osmolalities, serum antidiuretic hormone (ADH), serum sodium, BUN, glucose and potassium levels; calculated serum osmolalities; evaluated CD4 and CD8 counts, Beta-2 microglobulin and HIV P-24 antigen levels; assessed recent brain scans; reviewed clinical pictures and noted current medications. RESULTS: ADH levels were less than 1 pg/ml, serum osmolalities 295-312 mos/kg H2O, CD4 levels 3-

Increased Neutrophil Apoptosis in AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

If you're one of those CFS patients or activists who is desperate to find some little difference--any difference--between AIDS and CFIDS so you can sleep at night knowing that they are two separate epidemics (one for bad people and one for good people) you'd better not look at the neutrophils. You won't get much sleep. That enterprising Merge Group in Britain has financed some important research that shows yet another similarity between AIDS and CFS.

HHV-6 Quote of the Day

In rereading Hillary Johnson's amazing book, Osler's Web recently, these two sentences about HBLV, which eventually was called HHV-6, caught our attention: "Significantly, the Gallo group had found AIDS patients' T-cells to be co-infected with the new herpesvirus and HIV. Because HIV itself killed only a small number of T-4 cells, the herpesvirus might be responsible for the eventual annihilation of T-4 cells in AIDS, the team said." If HHV-6 is the real cause of AIDS, here are some of the implications: 1. HIV is a massive scientific fraud. Something akin to a Ponzi scheme. Scientists who challenged the HIV theory of AIDS (the ones who have been thuggishly censored and silenced) turn out to be on the money. 2.

HHV-6 in sarcoidosis and lymphoproliferative disorders

"Serologic studies were done to estimate the antibody prevalence against human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) in patients with malignant lymphomas, Sjogren's syndrome and sarcoidosis. Serologic studies showed IgG antibody titers against HHV-6 in up to 41% of patients with sarcoidosis, 50-70% with malignant lymphomas and in 36% with Sjogren's syndrome. In situ hybridization on lymph node biopsies was positive for HHV-6 genome in 1 out of 5 sarcoidosis lymph nodes."

Biotrin's description of the role of HHV-6 in AIDS

"HHV-6 infects and persists in CD4 T-lymphocytes, a unique characterstic that it shares with human immunodeficiency virus and a feature that separates it from other herpesviruses. There is evidence that it may interact with HIV and in this way serve as an important cofactor in the pathogenesis of AIDS." http://www.biotrin.ie/clinician/hhv/hhv6aids.htm If HHV-6 is the real cause of AIDS, here are some of the implications: 1.

Another New Finding Shows CFS is Real

According to a report by Deborah Haile in the Manchester Evening News today , "Dr. Raymond Perrin believes he has proof that chronic fatigue syndrome - once dubbed yuppie flu - has a physical cause." Haile writes that "Manchester osteopath Dr. Perrin believes he has proved that the debilitating syndrome is the physical result of the way the body deals with toxins. He believes a picture of varicose lymphatic vessels taken during a research project at Salford University shows for the first time the "backflow" of lymphatic drainage that he believes is the cause of toxin build-up. And it is this accumulation of toxins in the central nervous system, which Dr. Perrin believes is the cause of conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome and ME." Perrin describes the vessels as being "swollen." An article in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine outlines the components of the lymphatic system: "The lymphatic system is a component of both the circu

A Summary of HHV-6's Destructivenss

From an article by Abdel-Haq NahedM, Asmar BasimI in The Indian Journal of Pediatrics (2004,Volume 71, Issue 1, Page 89-96) HHV-6 preferentially infects CD4+ T-lymphocytes;[17] but can also infect other cell lines of epithelial, fibroblastic and neuronal origins with different efficiency.[18],[19],[20] The surface marker CD46 acts as part of a co-receptor for infection by both HHV-6A and HHV-6B.[21] Although CD46 is expressed by most nucleated human cells and may explain the wide cellular tropism of HHV-6, the virus does not infect all CD46-positive cells. Following infection, HHV-6 persists and establishes latency in different cells and organs including monocytes/macrophages, salivary glands, the brain and the kidneys. Because the main target cells for infection are the CD4-positive lymphocytes and monocytes, HHV-6 infection has important effects on the immune system. These include enhancement of natural killer cells, inhibition of T-cell proliferation, induction of cytokine rel

Scientist says there is an urgent need for more research into HHV-6 and HHV-7

In the June, 2005 issue of Current Opinion in Infection Diseases , an article about HHV-6 and HHV-7 in children concludes that "is an urgent need for more research on HHV-6 and -7 in children, particularly in relation to chromosomal integration of HHV-6A and B, and clinical consequences of HHV-7 infection." The article by Katherine K. Ward, notes that "both viruses have been shown to contribute significantly and equally to the burden of disease in young children with suspected encephalitis or severe convulsions with fever." If HHV-6 is the real cause of AIDS, here are some of the implications: 1. HIV is a massive scientific fraud. Something akin to a Ponzi scheme. Scientists who challenged the HIV theory of AIDS (the ones who have been thuggishly censored and silenced) turn out to be on the money. 2.
