  The effect of mirthful laughter on stress and natural killer cell activity.  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12652882 CONCLUSION: Laughter may reduce stress and improve NK cell activity. As low NK cell activity is linked to decreased disease resistance and increased morbidity in persons with cancer and HIV disease, laughter may be a useful cognitive-behavioral intervention. Julian Lake's The 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 ...

Are Autism, CFS and AIDS all intertwined subsets of the HHV-6 pandemic that is causing Natural Killer Cell Dysfunction? Read Plague, now available on Amazon Plague: One Scientist’s Intrepid Search for the Truth about Human Retroviruses and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), Autism, and Other Diseases  By Kent Heckenlively and Judy Mikovits Foreword by Hillary Johnson

Welcome to HHV-6 University, a cutting-edge institution of learning devoted to raising international awareness about the very neglected destructive virus that is causing a spectrum of multisystemic illness that includes AIDS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Autism, Multiple Sclerosis, as well all kinds of cancer and digestive disorders. And that's just the tip of the HHV-6 iceberg.

Dr. Thomas Glass on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and pets. Did he inadvertently establish the first animal model for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and HHV-6? If the agent responsible for the illness in both people and their pets is HHV-6, we may have definitive proof that HHV-6 is the cause of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Long considered two variants of the same virus, HHV-6A and HHV-6B have recently been reclassified as distinct viral species, although the established nomenclature has been maintained. In this review, we summarize the distinctive profiles of interaction of these two viruses with the human immune system. Both HHV-6A and HHV-6B display a tropism for CD4 + T lymphocytes, but they can also infect, in a productive or nonproductive fashion, other cells of the immune system. However, there are...

[Kindle Edition] A collection of cartoons about the cover-up of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome epidemic. Anyone who knows the whole sorry story about the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome epidemic will tell you that it is one of the great tragedies in world history. A syndrome with so many similarities to AIDS that it has been called "AIDS Minor," CFS has been swept under the rug for three decades while millions of people have seen every aspect of their lives ruined. Patients have trouble deciding whether the government scientists in charge of researching it are liars or just plain stupid and incompetent. In other word,s CFS is the perfect subject for the pen of a caustic satirist. Cartoonist Julian Lake has used his sharp wit to capture the absurdities of a vast epidemic that has been hidden in plain sight by medical ...

"At a Stanford meeting held earlier this year, Dr Komaroff pointed out that many of the infectious agents that have been linked to ME/CFS—including Epstein-Barr virus, [17] HHV-6, [18] Coxiella burnetii (aka "Q fever"), [19] Ross River virus in Australia, [20] and various enteroviruses [21] —are ones that can't be fully eradicated by the immune system even in healthy people and/or are capable of infecting the central nervous system. This suggests the possibility that some ME/CFS patients may have a chronic, low-level encephalitis, he postulated." Source:  Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Wrong Name, Real Illness by Miriam E.

Abstract Virus Identification in Unknown Tropical Febrile Illness Cases Using Deep Sequencing Dengue virus is an emerging infectious agent that infects an estimated 50–100 million people annually worldwide, yet current diagnostic practices cannot detect an etiologic pathogen in ∼40% of dengue-like illnesses. Metagenomic approaches to pathogen detection, such as viral microarrays and deep sequencing, are promising tools to address emerging and non-diagnosable disease challenges. In this study, we used the Virochip microarray and deep sequencing to characterize the spectrum of viruses present in human sera from 123 Nicaraguan patients presenting with dengue-like symptoms but testing negative for dengue virus. We utilized a barcoding strategy to simultaneously deep sequence multiple serum specimens, generating on average over 1 million reads per sample. We then implemented a stepwise bioinformatic filtering pipeline to remove the ma...
