Why has Laura Hillenbrand never spoken up about the very credible and detailed reporting that show that, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the Centers for Disease Control is covering up the truth about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? She has a public platform like nobody else in America. What's going on? She had a chance to tell politicians and the whole nation that the government is mishandling a massive contagious public health problem on Face the Nation . Will somebody please send her their copies of these books if he can't afford them? Or read them very slowly to her?

Julian Lake's T he Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Follies: Cartoons about an epidemic of lies . Now in print or on Kindle and free on Kindle Unlimited. The title of this collection of cartoons by Julian Lake was inspired by the The March of Folly , a stunning work by the late Barbara Tuchman. To try and explain why certain political disasters in history have occurred, Tuchman uses the very apt construct of "folly," which she defines as the "pursuit of policy contrary to the self-interest of the constituency or state involved." Tuchman analyzes four periods in history that are characterized by enormous folly. Julian Lake's collection is in many ways about a fifth example of such a phenomenon. Surely the last two decades in which so-called "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" has been called "mysterious" over and over in a cult-like manner (and in the manner of the Big Lie) qualifies as another period of egregious folly.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12857897 Abstract Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is a potentially immunosuppressive agent that has been suggested to act as a cofactor in the progression of human immunodeficiency virus disease. However, the lack of suitable experimental models has hampered the elucidation of the mechanisms of HHV-6-mediated immune suppression. Here, we used ex vivo lymphoid tissue to investigate the cellular tropism and pathogenic mechanisms of HHV-6. Viral strains belonging to both HHV-6 subgroups (A and B) were able to productively infect human tonsil tissue fragments in the absence of exogenous stimulation. The majority of viral antigen-expressing cells were CD4(+) T lymphocytes expressing a nonnaive phenotype, while CD8(+) T cells were efficiently infected only with HHV-6A. Accordingly, HHV-6A infection resulted in the depletion of both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells, whereas in HHV-6B-infected tissue CD4(+) T cells were predominantly depleted. The ex...

"Another expert who warns about the difficulty in tackling the disease is virologist Chris Oura at the University of the West Indies in St Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago, who compares the disease in pigs to Ebola. It causes rapid internal damage to the cells lining pig blood vessels and causes catastrophic internal injuries to their organs. There have been some cases found in wild boar along the Polish border, and the Baltic countries. "Germany shares a border with Poland and Poland itself has a big pig industry. And it has wild pigs on its border; they don't recognize that border and pass over," he adds." http://phys.org/news/2014-12-african-swine-fever-threatens-europe.html Posts on HHV-6 and Pigs   The African swine fever (ASF) virus, may in the future become dangerous for humans, according to the head of the Russian Epidemiology Service    http://www.pigprogress.net/Health-Diseases/Outbreaks/2013/7/ASF-could-become-a-human-healt...

  Herpesvirus Genome Integration into Telomeric Repeats of Host Cell Chromosomes   http://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev-virology-031413-085422 Abstract It is well known that numerous viruses integrate their genetic material into host cell chromosomes. Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and oncogenic Marek's disease virus (MDV) have been shown to integrate their genomes into host telomeres of latently infected cells. This is unusual for herpesviruses as most maintain their genomes as circular episomes during the quiescent stage of infection. The genomic DNA of HHV-6, MDV, and several other herpesviruses harbors telomeric repeats (TMRs) that are identical to host telomere sequences (TTAGGG). At least in the case of MDV, viral TMRs facilitate integration into host telomeres. Integration of HHV-6 occurs not only in lymphocytes but also in the germline of some individuals, allowing vertical virus transmission. Although the molecular mechanism of telomer...

HHV-6 University's 2014 Media Fool of the Year                        Rachel Maddow           For addressing Anthony Fauci as "Great American, sir" October 2, 2014 MADDOW: Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health. Great American, sir. Thank you very much for being with us tonight. I really appreciate it. FAUCI: Good to be with you. Thank you, Rachel. MADDOW: Thank you. Not like I get to bestow the title great American, but Tony Fauci is really a big deal. A big deal that he agreed to come on this show. I`ve impressed myself by the fact that we had him.

Chronic fatigue syndrome and co-morbid and consequent conditions: evidence from a multi-site clinical epidemiology study   http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/21641846.2014.978109#.VISR68lsjw2   Abstract Background: Epidemiologic data that inform our understanding of the type, frequency, and burden of co-morbidities with chronic fatigue syndrome is limited. Purpose: To elucidate co-morbid and consequent conditions, using data from a clinical epidemiology study of long-term CFS patients. Methods: Some 960 adults with CFS were identified at four sites specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of CFS. Patients reported their demographics, CFS course, other medical diagnoses, and current functioning. We determined associations between: co-morbidities and a patient's current health relative to their health when diagnosed with CFS; CFS symptom severity at onset and subsequent diagnosis with a co-morbid condition; and presence of a co-morbidity and ...
