Is it really ethical to talk about HHV-6 and CFS without talking about New York Native, HHV-6 and AIDS?

HERV-K18 seems to turn AIDS and CFS into superantigen syndromes. Here is what you need to know about HERV-K.

  Human endogenous retrovirus K - Wikipedia HHV-6A infection induces expression of HERV-K18-encoded superantigen - PubMed (nih.gov) HHV-6A infection induces expression of HERV-K18-encoded superantigen Albert K Tai   1 ,  Janos Luka ,  Dharam Ablashi ,  Brigitte T Huber Affiliations  expand PMID:  19505843   DOI:  10.1016/j.jcv.2009.05.019 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-alpha 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 (cont

Is it time to rename Chronic Fatigue Syndrome "Chronic HHV-6 Syndrome"?

Why is Bhupesh Prusty afraid to say that his research is increasingly showing that HHV-6 is the cause of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and other immunological disorders?

Bhupesh Prusty and his colleagues have nailed it. Will the AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome establishment finally admit that HHV-6 is a problem that has to be dealt with?

Frontiers | Tissue specific signature of HHV-6 infection in ME/CFS (frontiersin.org) Tissue specific signature of  HHV-6 infection in ME/CFS First exposure to various human herpesviruses (HHVs) including HHV-6, HCMV and EBV does not cause a life-threatening disease. In fact, most individuals are frequently unaware of their first exposure to such pathogens. These herpesviruses acquire lifelong latency in the human body where they show minimal genomic activity required for their survival. We hypothesized that it is not the latency itself but a timely, regionally restricted viral reactivation in a sub-set of host cells that plays a key role in disease development. HHV-6 (HHV-6A and HHV-6B) and HHV-7 are unique HHVs that acquire latency by integration of the viral genome into sub-telomeric region of human chromosomes. HHV-6 reactivation has been linked to Alzheimer’s Disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and many other diseases. However, lack of viral activity in commonly tested biological ma

  The Real AIDS Epidemic (skyhorsepublishing.com) Four decades after  And the Band Played On  created an image of the AIDS epidemic that has survived in the public consciousness to this very day, mathematician Rebecca Culshaw is now sounding the alarm that everything that iconic book told us about AIDS is demonstrably wrong. And that mistaken understanding of AIDS and its cause has the potential to affect all of us, not just certain so-called risk groups. In  The Real AIDS Epidemic , Rebecca Culshaw describes her slow uncovering of these reasons over her years researching HIV for her work constructing mathematical models of its interaction with the immune system. It is rare that a researcher who has received funding to study HIV ever expresses any doubt in the paradigm, and an even rarer event still when she abandons the field altogether. Culshaw's book is one of the great insider-turned-whistleblower stories of our time.   The Real AIDS Epidemic  focuses on the politics of the cha

Is this the most important fact about HHV-6's origins?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5707524/ Antibody Cross-Reactivity between Porcine Cytomegalovirus (PCMV) and Human Herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) Porcine cytomegalovirus (PCMV) infection is widely prevalent among pigs, and PCMV is one of the viruses which may be transmitted during xenotransplantation using pig cells, tissues, or organs. While human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a major risk factor for allotransplantation, it is still unclear whether PCMV is able to infect human cells or pose a risk for xenotransplantation. Previously, it was shown that transmission of PCMV after pig kidney to non-human primate transplantations resulted in a significantly reduced survival time of the transplanted organ. To detect PCMV, PCR-based and immunological methods were used. Screening of pigs by Western blot analyses using recombinant viral proteins revealed up to 100% of the tested animals to be infected. When the same method was applied to screen human sera for PCMV-reactive antibodies, positi

Bhupesh Prusty has risked everything to study HHV-6

  We do publish in specialized journals. For a paper, we have to judge how much of effort we can put to do the work & to publish it. From career point of view an ME/CFS paper is a suicidal attempt for a young scientist. We are already taking risk of doing research with no funding. — Bhupesh K Prusty (@BhupeshPrusty) December 5, 2022

Did Gallo or Jane Teas and John Beldekas discover HHV-6?

  Human herpesvirus 6 - Wikipedia   In August, 1986, John Beldekas was invited to go to the NCI and present his findings on the link between ASFV [African Swine Fever virus] and AIDS, which he did. Beldekas gave samples of all his lab work to Gallo. Later, the government asked Beldekas to turn over all his reagents and lab work to the government, which he did. Beldekas had found ASFV presence in nine of 21 AIDS patients using two standard procedures. At the meeting, Gallo was reported saying: “we know it is not ASFV.” How could Gallo know this as he hadn’t done any of his own tests to look for ASFV? Two months later, Gallo published an article in Science (Oct 31, 1986) that he discovered a new possible co-factor in AIDS, a virus he called Human B Cell Lymphotropic Virus which he named HBLV. Like ASFV, HBLV infected B cells and also lived in macrophages. Did Gallo steal Beldekas’s ASF virus he found in AIDS patients and rename it HBLV? Later on, when Gallo found that HBLV could also inf

Oh, HHV-6A does it much more efficiently than HIV." --Konnie Knox  http://www.chronicillnet.org/online/Knox.html "It seems wherever HHV-6 is going, you're bound to bump into HIV. It's like a cohabitation." --Robert Gallo  http://www.aegis.com/news/newsday/1992/ND920206.html "All the evidence now available indicates that of the two viruses, HIV and HHV-6A, the most destructive by far is HHV-6A which has all the characteristics of African Swine Fever virus."  --Mark Konlee "The evidence that CFS may reflect human infection with mouse retroviruses (XMRV and the polytropic murine leukemia viruses (MLVs) has been seriously challenged.

Mary Schweitzer and HHV-6

  The Mary Schweitzer CFS Biomarker One cannot fault suffering Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients for adopting a pragmatic attitude toward their dire situation. They pray every day for "something, anything" that will make them better. But unfortunately, there is something very anti-history, anti-intellectual and anti-science about the search for "something, anything." Too many patients and their self-appointed leaders don't seem to care about the actual political and scientific facts about their epidemic. They ignore the work that is solid, the facts that are known, and they disrespect the frontline journalism of Hillary Johnson, Neenyah Ostrom, and New York Native, work that stands today and will stand in a hundred years. Too many new CFS activists grovel at the feet of  "experts" who wish that the work of  Hillary Johnson ,  Neenyah Ostrom  and   New York Native   would just disappear from the face of the earth. Recently, five official "CFS grove

  Gallo's early statements about HHV-6 are discussed in this excerpt from Nick Regush's  The Virus Within  (page. 13).   When NCI laboratory research revealed the extent of HHV-6's destructive power, Robert Gallo began to speak out about the implications. On May 10, 1988, at the annual meeting of the American Society of Microbiology in Miami, he told an audience that HHV-6 had been found along with HIV in T-4 cells, and speculated that the new herpes virus could be a "co-factor" in AIDS. One month later, at an international AIDS conference in Stockholm, he explained that HHV-6 killed T-4 cells in the test tube more effectively than did HIV, and said the new herpes virus could cause massive cell death. Gallo reasoned that HHV-6 infection might help speed up the HIV-led breakdown of the immune system in AIDS, although he cautioned that NCI research on HHV-6 was still preliminary.
