"HHV-6 Infections Whacking ME/CFS Patients Energy? (HHV-6 Mediated Mitochondrial Modulation and Its Association to ME/CFS)
After a long period in which HHV-6 infection hasn’t been addressed much in ME/CFS, the bug is showing life again. At the last IACFS/ME conference Nancy Klimas showed (unpublished) that indices of HHV-6 activation are correlated with symptom severity in ME/CFS. Now, working off of their lab’s findings showing that HHV-6 can affect mitochondrial functioning.
Bhupesh Prusty will determine just how this is happening and how often it’s happening in ME/CFS. If it turns out this ubiquitous pathogen – found in almost everyone – is sapping the cells’ energy – that would, of course, really be something."
For more than a decade my newspaper, New York Native, warned New York and the rest of the world that HHV-6 was the key to the AIDS epidemic and was causing all kinds of other problems like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and cancer. The New York Times and the rest of The media mocked my newspaper and was happy when it went out of business.You can read the story of my newspapers struggle to get the word out about HHV-6 in Truth to Power.
