Gallo's early statements about HHV-6

-
Gallo's early statements about HHV-6 are discussed in this excerpt from Nick Regush's The Virus Within (page. 13).   When NCI laboratory research revealed the extent of HHV-6's destructive power, Robert Gallo began to speak out about the implications. On May 10, 1988, at the annual meeting of the American Society of Microbiology in Miami, he told an audience that HHV-6 had been found along with HIV in T-4 cells, and speculated that the new herpes virus could be a "co-factor" in AIDS. One month later, at an international AIDS conference in Stockholm, he explained that HHV-6 killed T-4 cells in the test tube more effectively than did HIV, and said the new herpes virus could cause massive cell death. Gallo reasoned that HHV-6 infection might help speed up the HIV-led breakdown of the immune system in AIDS, although he cautioned that NCI research on HHV-6 was still preliminary.

Anna Fogdell Hahn, researcher at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden. MS linked to variant of HHV-6 (the CFS/AIDS virus) through new method Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a new method to separate between two different types of a common herpes virus (HHV-6) that has been linked to multiple sclerosis. By analyzing antibodies in the blood against the most divergent proteins of herpesvirus 6A and 6B, the researchers were able to show that MS-patients carry the herpesvirus 6A to a greater extent than healthy individuals. The findings, published in Frontiers in Immunology, point to a role for HHV-6A in the development of MS.

These two unique books about CFS and HHV-6 are available on Kindle Unlimited. The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Follies: Cartoons about an epidemic of lies. [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 ...

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

Look at what Groq A.I. came up with for a plot for a novel that portrays HIV as a Ponzi scheme.

-
 Can you write the plot for a novel in which HIV turns out to be a virtual Ponzi scheme concealing a much bigger epidemic of AIDS caused by a different virus and having multiple manifestations? Here's a potential plot for a novel: Title: The Shadow Virus Protagonist Dr. Sophia Patel, a brilliant and determined epidemiologist, has spent her entire career studying HIV. She's convinced that the virus is the root of the global AIDS epidemic, and she's dedicated her life to finding a cure. But when a mysterious new strain of HIV emerges, Sophia begins to suspect that something is off. As she delves deeper into the research, Sophia discovers that the new strain is unlike anything she's ever seen before. It's highly contagious, but it seems to be affecting people in unexpected ways. Some patients are experiencing severe neurological symptoms, while others are developing rare skin conditions. The more Sophia learns, the more she realizes that this new strain is not just a v...

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...

Has Maureen Hanson found another opportunistic infection that links Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and AIDS?

  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 ...

HHV-6: The 50 Shades of AIDS Virus

-
From the forthcoming book HHV-6: The fifty Shades of AIDS Virus which will be published in time for the International HHV-6 Protest in Berlin July 23-26. Does HHV-6 act like African Swine Fever virus? In many ways. Is HHV-6 a human form of African Swine Fever? It might as well be. Given that it was Robert Gallo's people who decided that HHV-6 is not ASFV, all bets are off. Is Robert Gallo a scientific crook? Big time. Read John Crewdson's Science Fictions if you want the whole story. What about the scientists who worked with him? They were all his enablers, so all of their work needs to be taken with a grain of salt. How come they never spoke out about him? He is the biggest thug in science. He is a combination of Nixon and Trump. Everyone was afraid of him. So Gallo's fingerprints are all over the HHV-6 epidemic and its cover-up? For sure. More to come tomorrow. For more than a decade my newspaper, New York Native , warned New Yor...

Has anyone suggested that African Swine Fever virus acts like a superantigen?

 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...

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 ...

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...
