The Coming Paradigm Shift in HHV-6 and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
"Some studies have shown Human Herpes 6 and Epstein-Barr virus can
impair the function of the human immune system. If one or both of these
viruses indeed cause ME/CFS, and they invade the entire body, including
the gut, then they could also disrupt the immune function of the gut.
So, conceivably, the viral infection created a favorable environment for
the pro-inflammatory bacteria. As a result, all of the disruption in
the microbiome could stem from the underlying viral infection.
In conclusion, we appear to be entering the type of shake-up in the field that Thomas Kuhn referred to as a “paradigm shift.” All of the elements are there. A well-established concept about a phenomenon fails to account for a growing number of non-conforming bits of evidence. The examination of the bits of evidence reveals a new theoretical model that better explains the phenomenon."
