Thomas Henderson: The Role of Antiviral Therapy in Chronic Fatigue Treatment

 http://www.psychiatryadvisor.com/the-role-of-antiviral-therapy-in-chronic-fatigue-treatment/article/405424/

"Patients were treated with the antiviral, valacyclovir (Valtrex), at a dose of 1000 mg twice a day. Only one patient experienced nausea and discontinued the antiviral. Improvement occurred over the course of 3-5 months. Eighty-six percent of the patients responded by 3 months, and 92% responded by 5 months. Symptoms of fatigue, exertion induced malaise, excessive sleep, napping, unrefreshing sleep, headaches, cognitive symptoms, and emotional symptoms all resolved."

"These data are also consistent with prior studies of antiviral treatment of SEID. Lerner and colleagues found significant and persistent improvement in symptoms and in cardiovascular function in SEID patients who were treated with the valacyclovir.15,16 Montoya and colleagues reported a 75% response rate to another antiviral, valganciclovir, in SEID patients with high IgG titers to EBV and HHV-6.17 Antiviral therapy may be a powerful tool in the fight against SEID."

Did Michael Hobbes Inadvertently Reveal the Real HHV-6 & HHV-8 AIDS Epidemic in the Gay Community?

The best article about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the HHV-6 &-8 cover-up in the gay community,  http://highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/gay-loneliness/ "Together Alone" by Michael Hobbes, published in Huffington Post (which just loves calling gays "queers") purports to be about the epidemic of gay loneliness. But the news it really breaks is that there is an epidemic of illness in the gay community that in most likelihood is related to the HHV-6, HHV-8 and AIDS/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome cover-up in the gay community.  The passage that seems to bring the real epidemic of HHV-6, HHV-8, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, non-HIV AIDS (or whatever you want to call it) is this one.      Travis Salway, a researcher with the BC Centre for Disease Control in Vancouver, has spent the last five years trying to figure out why gay men keep killing themselves. “The defining feature of gay men used to be the loneliness of the closet,” he says. “But now yo...

Perplexity on K.S. and AIDS and inflammation

  Discuss the issue of K.S. happening despite ART use Kaposi sarcoma (KS) can and does occur in people living with HIV, even when they are on effective antiretroviral therapy (ART). While ART has dramatically reduced the incidence and severity of KS, several important points explain why KS still happens despite ART use: Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS): Some individuals develop KS or see it worsen shortly after starting ART, in what is known as KS-IRIS. This is thought to be due to immune system recovery leading to a paradoxical inflammatory response, which can unmask or exacerbate KS—even when HIV viral load drops and CD4 counts begin to rise. Rapidly disseminated or aggressive KS has been reported in these cases, sometimes within months of starting ART. Persistent Risk Despite Good Immune Recovery: Studies have documented cases of KS in patients who maintain undetectable HIV viral loads and normal CD4 counts for years. This includes long-term HIV survivors and o...

"Kaposi Sarcoma and HIV have a weak relationship"

  The Relationship Between HIV and Kaposi Sarcoma Topic:  Health & Medicine   Words: 1112   Pages: 4   Apr 22nd, 2022 Explanation of Main Results This paper investigated the nature of the relationship between HIV and Kaposi Sarcoma. The findings of this paper showed that rare skin cancer was the HIV-defining condition in only 48.7% of the cases sampled. Comparatively, 51.3% of the cases sampled did not show a direct correlation between HIV and Kaposi Sarcoma. These details emerged in the case study summary, which showed that the percentage of female participants suffering from HIV disease, but did not have Kaposi Sarcoma was 60.5%. This is a relatively larger percentage of people compared to 39.5% of people who suffered from HIV and Kaposi Sarcoma. Comparatively, an analysis of male respondents showed a different pattern because there were higher percentages of people (57.5%) who suffered from HIV and Kaposi Sarcoma, as opposed to the number of people who su...

  A major nosological mistake in AIDS—meaning a fundamental error in how the disease is defined, classified, or diagnosed—could be the most consequential nosological error in history because of several deeply impactful social, scientific, and ethical consequences. Scale and Impact of AIDS The way AIDS was defined and classified determined how millions of people were diagnosed, treated, and socially perceived. Nosological mistakes have led to unnecessary suffering, stigmatization, discrimination, and sometimes fatal outcomes for entire populations. During the early epidemic, AIDS definitions dictated global policies, resource allocation, and public health strategies, impacting the lives of marginalized groups and shaping health systems globally. Misdirected Interventions and Suffering If the nosology—such as equating all immune compromise with AIDS or failing to recognize other causes—was incorrect, countless lives may have been lost or damaged due to misdiagnosis, inappropriate tre...

Neenyah Ostrom on Ampligen

  HHV-6 and the Promise of Ampligen This experimental drug not only stops HHV-6, it helps AIDS and CFS patients function. By Neenyah Ostrom First published in: New York Native, issue #663, January 1, 1996 During 1995, a series of extremely disturbing facts were revealed about the damage Human Herpes Virus 6 (HHV-6) is able to inflict. The virus was linked to the brain and nervous system damage seen in Multiple Sclerosis; scientists warned that HHV-6 is a dangerous contaminant of the blood supply, which is not screened for its presence, and is therefore probably being transmitted via transfusion; HHV-6 was found to be the most common infection in AIDS patients, rather than CMV as was previously assumed; it was implicated as a cause of the blinding AIDS retinitis; Italian research linked HHV-6 (Variant A) not only to AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, but also to AIDS-associated Kaposi's sarcoma; and, perhaps most importantly, HHV-6 has been shown to be present in the lymph nodes of...

HHV-6 and Male infertility (from Perplexity)

-
  Make the case that HHV-6 may be responsible for the fertility problems in men Make the case that HHV-6 may be responsible for the fertility problems in men There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) may play a role in male fertility problems. Here is the case based on recent research findings: Prevalence in Semen and Sperm Binding:  Studies have identified HHV-6A/B in approximately 13.5% of semen samples from healthy sperm donors, a prevalence higher than that of most other herpesviruses in semen. Importantly, HHV-6B has been shown to specifically bind to the acrosome—the cap-like structure on the head of sperm. This means that the virus can directly interact with sperm cells and potentially travel with them into the female reproductive tract. Potential Mechanisms of Fertility Impairment:  The binding of HHV-6 to the sperm acrosome suggests the existence of a receptor for the virus on sperm, raising the possibility that this interact...

However, being gay doesn’t make you an expert in biochemistry and/or HIV. But it makes you afraid. Being young and being gay means to live a life in fear. And here comes PreP. The I-solve-all-problems pill. It is from the same substance class, NRTIs, that is used in the antiretroviral therapy (ART) and it is itself also used in ART.

Perplexity on Rebecca Culshaw Smith, and PrEP as Genocide

-
  Rebecca Culshaw’s Substack articles establish a foundation for arguing that the mass promotion and use of PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) in HIV prevention could be considered a form of “genocide,” rooted in several lines of critique that challenge both the scientific and ethical underpinnings of the intervention. ​ Critique of Efficacy Claims Culshaw repeatedly questions the reliability of the efficacy data cited for PrEP, especially the widely publicized claim of “99% effectiveness.” She critiques the primary studies behind this figure, particularly the UK “Impact Trial,” highlighting that its actual observed efficacy was only 86%, and that even this figure is derived from retrospective, less scientifically rigorous analysis. She emphasizes that PrEP, to justify the aggressive and potentially coercive marketing campaigns behind it, should meet a much higher bar of evidence given its target population often consists of healthy individuals. By questioning what she perceives as st...

  HHV-6A infection induces expression of HERV-K18-encoded superantigen Albert K. Taia, Janos Lukab, Dharam Ablashi, Brigitte T. Huber published online 08 June 2009. Abstract Background The human endogenous retrovirus K-18 (HERV-K18) encodes a superantigen that causes deregulation of the immune system. This provirus is transcriptionally silent, but can be induced by Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection and IFN-α treatment. Objectives Since the herpesvirus EBV induces HERV-K18 expression in human B cells, it was of interest to determine if other herpesviruses would have similar HERV-K18 transactivation properties. Human herpesvirus (HHV)-6A, a neurotropic virus associated with multiple sclerosis, was a logical candidate for these studies. Study design HSB2 cells (HHV-6-negative control), HSB2-ML cells (containing latent HHV-6A genome) and HSB2/HHV-6A cells (HSB-2 cells productively infected with HHV-6A) were compared for their level of HERV-K18 transcription, using quantitative RT...

Nadler did that at the urging of Charles Ortleb, the publisher and the New York Native and his reporter Neenyah Ostrom.
