Porcine lymphotropic herpesviruses 1 and 2

-
PLHV-1 and -2 are highly homologous to each other but not to PLHV-3. The two viruses are widespread in domestic pigs and are closely related to several ruminant gammaherpesviruses, most of which are etiologically implicated in the occurrence of malignant catarrhal fever (MCF), a lymphoproliferative inflammatory disease with an often fatal outcome. PLHV-1 and -2 are also related to Epstein-Barr Virus, Human Herpesvirus-8 and other gammaherpesviruses. http://www.zoologix.com/zoo/Datasheets/PorcineLymphotropicHerpesvirus.htm

  The Enterovirus Theory of Disease Etiology in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Critical Review Adam J. O'Neal  and  Maureen R. Hanson * Abstract Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex, multi-system disease whose etiological basis has not been established. Enteroviruses (EVs) as a cause of ME/CFS have sometimes been proposed, as they are known agents of acute respiratory and gastrointestinal infections that may persist in secondary infection sites, including the central nervous system, muscle, and heart. To date, the body of research that has investigated enterovirus infections in relation to ME/CFS supports an increased prevalence of chronic or persistent enteroviral infections in ME/CFS patient cohorts than in healthy individuals. Nevertheless, inconsistent results have fueled a decline in related studies over the past two decades. This review covers the aspects of ME/CFS pathophysiology that are consistent with a ...

 Has anyone suggested that African Swine Fever virus acts like a superantigen? From Perplexity A.I. Superantigenic Activity in African Swine Fever Virus: Current Evidence and... Could HHV-6 and HHV-8 also act like superantigens The available evidence does not strongly support HHV-6 or HHV-8 acting as classical superantigens, but both viruses exhibit immune-modulating properties that share some functional parallels with superantigen activity: HHV-6 Immune Interactions T Cell Activation: HHV-6 preferentially infects activated CD4+ T cells and can also infect CD8+ T cells (HHV-6A). It induces proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6, CCL-1, Rantes) in infected olfactory ensheathing cells and PBMCs, but this is mediated through direct infection rather than non-specific T cell receptor (TCR) cross-linking. Cross-reactive T cell epitopes (e.g., HHV-6 U24 vs. myelin basic protein) exist, but these involve antigen-specific recognition rather than broad TCR Vβ activation. Immunomodulation: CD46 bind...

From Perplexity A.I. List 20 counterintuitive ideas that favor the thinking of Rebecca Culshaw Smith

  List 20 counterintuitive ideas that favor the thinking of Rebecca Culshaw Smith Here are 20 counterintuitive ideas that favor the thinking of Rebecca Culshaw Smith, a mathematician and outspoken critic of the mainstream HIV/AIDS paradigm. These points reflect arguments found in her books, interviews, and podcasts, challenging widely accepted scientific consensus and highlighting skepticism about HIV as the sole cause of AIDS: HIV has not been conclusively proven to cause AIDS, and the correlation may be statistical rather than causal. Antiretroviral drugs like Truvada are often used for prevention in HIV-negative people, despite unclear long-term safety and efficacy. High rates of treatment failure among AIDS patients, even with strict adherence to medication, suggest the drugs are not targeting the true underlying condition. The definition of AIDS has shifted repeatedly since the 1980s, suggesting scientific uncertainty rather than progress. Many studies guiding treatment and po...

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...

GROQ on the nature of medical Ponzi schemes

-
 What does it mean when someone calls a medical theory that is guiding diagnosis and treatment a "Ponzi scheme"? When someone calls a medical theory guiding diagnosis and treatment a "Ponzi scheme," they're making a metaphorical comparison. A Ponzi scheme is a type of investment scam where returns are paid to existing investors using money from new investors, rather than from profit earned. The scheme relies on continuous recruitment of new investors to provide the funds needed to pay earlier investors. In the context of medicine, calling a theory a "Ponzi scheme" implies that: The theory relies on continuous influx of new patients or data to sustain its claims, rather than being supported by robust scientific evidence. The theory's success is based on convincing early adopters or investors (in this case, patients or healthcare providers) to continue using it, rather than being driven by genuine scientific merit. The theory lacks a solid foundation...

HHV-6 Transmission

"Sexual, horizontal, and vertical transmission have been suggested." http://www.immunesupport.com/library/showarticle.cfm/ID/1372/ From: "Epidemiology of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) infection in pregnant and nonpregnant women," J Clin Virol 2000 May 1; 16(3):149-157. Departments of Pediatrics, and Obstetrics and Gynecology, The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, 7703 Floyd Curl Drive, San Antonio, TX, USA  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. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Autism (and many other so-called HHV-6 related mysterious epidemics) are part of the so-called AIDS epidemic.  Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Autism both are clearly the results of the ravages of HHV-6. 3.

Perplexity A.I. on HHV-8

-
  What have been the biggest surprises about the virus HHV-8? Some of the biggest surprises about HHV-8 (human herpesvirus 8) have emerged in recent years, especially as research uncovers its mechanisms of cancer causation, immune evasion, and genomic integration. The virus—primarily known for its role in Kaposi's sarcoma—continues to reveal unexpected features and risks. Surprising Mechanisms of Cancer Induction Researchers only recently discovered that HHV-8 manipulates key human enzymes, CDK6 and CAD, to reprogram how infected cells make new nucleotides and metabolize glucose—directly transforming normal cells into cancer cells. This metabolic rewiring by HHV-8 was not anticipated and has become a new focus for antiviral cancer therapy, using drugs that block these pathways and have radically improved outcomes in preclinical models. Genomic Integration and Host-Genome Hijacking Studies in 2023–2024 revealed the first hard evidence that HHV-8 can integrate its genome at specific ...

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

-
Image
"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...

Nadler did that at the urging of Charles Ortleb, the publisher and the New York Native and his reporter Neenyah Ostrom. Ortleb and Ostrom had made the case to Nadler that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the virus it had been linked to, HHV-6, were serious public health issues.                                                 In an interview in New York Native with Neenyah Ostrom,Congressman Nadler said, "Congress can mandate research into CFS as a viral disease.
