Evidence linking HHV-6 with multiple sclerosis: an update

-
Publication date: December 2014 Source:Current Opinion in Virology, Volume 9 Author(s): Emily C Leibovitch , Steven Jacobson Following reports of elevated antiviral antibodies in MS patient sera and viral DNA detection in MS plaques nearly two decades ago, the neurovirology community has actively explored how herpesviruses such as HHV-6 might be involved in MS disease pathogenesis. Though findings across the field are non-uniform, an emerging consensus of viral correlates with disease course and evidence of HHV-6-specific immune responses in the CNS provide compelling evidence for a role, direct or indirect, of this virus in MS. Ultimately, the only way to demonstrate the involvement, or lack thereof, of HHV-6 or other herpesviruses in this disease is through a controlled clinical trial ...

The big question for French scientists and intellectuals:

-
Image
Has the Montagnier-Agut HIV Fraud Ponzi scheme and HHV-6 cover-up turned international science into a kind of totalitarian Vichy France universe of pseudoscience, a world where truthtellers and whistleblowers are silenced or punished? A world where research that challenges the Montagnier-Agut HIV Fraud Ponzi scheme and HHV-6 cover-up is never published or discussed in a free marketplace of ideas. An Orwellian, dystopian world where anyone who recognizes the real nature of the Montagnier-Agut HIV Fraud Ponzi scheme and HHV-6 coverup is stigmatized as a "denialist" and exiled from polite society. Let the great debate in Paris begin! To learn more about Vichy France, click here. 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. Chroni...

GROQ on authoritarianism in science and medicine

-
 Can a.i. recognize authoritarianism in science and medicine? What a fascinating and timely question! While AI systems can be designed to recognize patterns and anomalies in data, recognizing authoritarianism in science and medicine is a complex task that requires a deep understanding of the nuances of human behavior, power dynamics, and the scientific method. AI systems can be trained to identify certain characteristics of authoritarianism, such as: Disregard for evidence: AI can be trained to recognize when scientific evidence is being ignored or dismissed in favor of personal opinions or biases. Suppression of dissent: AI can be trained to identify instances where dissenting voices are being silenced or marginalized, and to recognize the importance of diverse perspectives in scientific inquiry. Lack of transparency: AI can be trained to detect when scientific findings or methods are being kept secret or hidden from the public, and to recognize the importance of transparency in s...

Groq on miRNAs and retroviruses.

-
 Are miRNAs ever confused with retroviruses? Yes, microRNAs (miRNAs) and retroviruses can be confused with each other due to some similarities in their structure and function. Here are a few reasons why: Both miRNAs and retroviruses are small RNA molecules: miRNAs are typically 18-25 nucleotides in length, while retroviruses can have varying lengths, but are often around 5-10 kilobases. However, some retroviruses, such as human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1), have shorter RNA genomes that are similar in size to miRNAs. Both can integrate into host genomes: miRNAs can integrate into host genomes through a process called RNA-directed DNA methylation, while retroviruses can integrate their genomes into host DNA through a process called reverse transcription. Both can regulate gene expression: miRNAs regulate gene expression by binding to messenger RNA (mRNA) and preventing its translation, while retroviruses can regulate gene expression by inserting their genomes into host DNA ...

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...

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS about the International HHV-6 Protest and Teach-in at Harvard November 9-11, 2015

-
Image
  What are the goals of the International HHV-6 Protest and Teach-in at Harvard during the HHV-6 Foundation's HHV-6 Conference November 9-11, 2015? To raise international awareness about the HHV-6 cover-up and the HIV Fraud Ponzi Scheme that it conceals. Also to make the public aware of the rise of totalitarianism and authoritarianism in science which inhibit critical and creative thinking and punish or stigmatize dissent.  Why should all the students and teachers at Harvard participate in the International HHV-6 Protest and Teach-in? Because all of their lives will potentially be affected by HHV-6 as well as the epidemiological injustice of the racist and homophobic agenda behind the HIV Fraud Ponzi Scheme. Is there  simple story that can convey what is really going on in the politics of AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, one that university students all over the world can understand. Yes. A story that Hans Christin Andersen wrote was recen...

The point I had raised in particular was Duesberg's questioning of Gallo's recent interest in so-called co-factors that helped HIV overwhelm the immune system. Anyone who bothered searching for a co-factor, Duesberg reasoned, was obviously unclear of the actual cause of a disease. --Nicholas Regush The Virus Within page 20 Although Gallo made a strong effort to encourage researchers to consider the potential of HHV-6 as a possible co-factor in AIDS, he could not break down the resistance to the idea that a common virus could The Virus Within page 54 Knox was fascinated by how HHV-6, like HIV, attacked T-4 lymphocytes, monocytes and macrophages. --Nicholas Regush The Virus Within Page 69 The 34 autopsy samples harvested from nine people who ...

Dr. Konstance Knox explains why HHV-6 may be the key to dealing with AIDS.

-
  by Neenyah Ostrom New York Native , issue #678, April 15, 1996 Konstance Knox, Ph.D., is an HHV-6 researcher who has just published a study with extraordinary implications for AIDS research and treatment strategies. Along with colleague Donald R. Carrigan, Ph.D., Knox demonstrated that 100 percent of HIV-infected patients studied (ten out of ten) had active Human Herpes Virus 6 Variant A infections in their lymph nodes early in the course of their disease. Seventy-five percent of these patients, in fact, had CD4 cell counts higher than 200 (the cut-off for receiving a diagnosis of AIDS), up to as high a CD4 count as 700. This finding led Knox and Carrigan to conclude that "active HHV-6 infections appear relatively early in the course of HIV disease and in vitro studies suggest that the A variant of HHV-6 is capable of breaking HIV latency, with the potential for helping to catalyze the progression of HIV infection to AIDS." This new study, in other words, presents data furt...

Is there a connection between HHV-8 and African Swine Fever in Sardinia? Does it have implications for ASFV in the Western Hemisphere? "The 19R Protein of HHV-6 has significant amino acid sequence homology . . . to a protein encoded by African Swine Fever Virus."

  High prevalence of antibodies to human herpesvirus 8 in relatives of patients with classic Kaposi's sarcoma from Sardinia A survey for antibodies to a recombinant small viral capsid antigen (sVCA) of human herpesvirus type 8 (HHV-8) was conducted in Sardinia, one of the world's highest incidence areas for classic Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). Prevalence of antibodies to HHV-8 sVCA was greatest in patients with KS (95%), followed by family members (39%) and a Sardinian control population age- and sex-matched to the relatives (11%). Within families, prevalence of antibodies was about equal among spouses, children, and siblings of KS patients, a finding that raises the possibilities of intrafamilial person-to-person or vertical transmission. Antibodies were detected 2-3 times more frequently in males than in females. The data show that prevalence of antibodies to HHV-8 sVCA correlates with the distribution of classic KS in a high- incidence area. Clustering of seroprevalence within...

Ablashi discusses HHV-6, AIDS, Alzheimer's, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

"HHV-6 is actually likely to reduce HIV patient survival by accelerating the depletion of CD4 and CD8 T cells. HHV-6A was shown to accelerate AIDS progression in macaques.  Macaques co-infected with simian HIV and HHV-6A died quickly and showed a dramatic depletion in both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, whereas those infected with only simian HIV never progressed to full blown AIDS."  "We believe that infections are the most logical explanation for the inflammation neurodegeneration associated with Alzheimer’s , but don’t believe that there is a single pathogen responsible. HHV-6A and HHV-7 were identified as likely culprits in 2018 paper , using RNAseq analysis by Readhead and team. Two subsequent studies did not find an increase in HHV-6/7 using the same data, but at the same time did not find a significant presence of ANY herpesviruses in the brain, which we know is not the case. Dozens of careful studies have identified a high prevalence of low-level HHV-6 and HSV1 DN...

Why HIV should be referred to as "a red herring."

-
 From Perplexity A.I. Make the case that the critics of the HIV theory of AIDS would be more effective at their messaging to politicians and the public by constantly referring to HIV as a red herring. Critics of the HIV theory of AIDS—those who argue that HIV is not the causative agent of AIDS—often struggle to convey their message effectively to politicians and the public because the scientific consensus firmly upholds the link between HIV and AIDS. However, from a communications strategy perspective, such critics might amplify the clarity and urgency of their argument by consistently describing HIV as a "red herring." Here’s why this tactic could make their messaging more effective: 1. Framing the Narrative Labeling HIV as a "red herring" frames the dominant scientific focus on the virus as a distraction from finding the true cause of AIDS (as the critics would argue). This concise phrase presents the debate in terms of misdirection, which is an accessible and com...
