Where the retrovirus in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is coming from

HHV-6A infection induces expression of HERV-K18-encoded superantigen Albert K. Taia, Janos Lukab, Dharam Ablashic, 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, ...

Bhupesh Prusty, Konnie Knox, and Brigitte Huber have done the most important research on HHV-6. Why is Huber's retroviral finding about HHV-6 being ignored????

""Summary: A new study in Scientific Reports concludes human herpesvirus 6 may impair the brain’s ability to repair itself in demylination diseases, such as multiple sclerosis. HHV-6 is the most common human herpes virus, with an estimated 80% of people being exposed to infection during childhood. Researchers found the virus produces a protein that can impair the ability of brain cells to repair damaged myelin.

Was Judy Mikovits destroyed because her XMRV work would have ultimately shown HIV is a total fraud?
