CFS patients can share complex pathogenic complications with patients with HIV AIDS and HTLV-1 associated myelopathy.
"Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is recognized by the WHO as an alternative name for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, which has been classified as a disease of the central nervous system since 1969. The concept that chronic microbial infection drives constant activation of the innate immune system through alterations in the production of innate immune cells and accompanied by abnormal production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and that this leads to progressive immune deficiency seen in many CFS patients has only recently been appreciated. In investigating the distribution of immune cells in the peripheral blood of a cohort of CFS patients who have an antibody recognizing the SFFV envelope protein, we discovered profound alterations in the number and types of cells, particularly in the cells regulating the innate immune system. These changes included chronic activation of monocytes and dendritic cells, and a marked increase in NKT cells and decrease in NK cells. The cytokines in plasma from these CFS patients was assayed in a multiplex platform, and one of us published findings showing signatures of infection; that is, significantly high levels of many proinflammatory mediators such as IL-12, MCP-1, IL-8, IP-10, IL-6, TNF-a, and IL-1ß while being low in the critical antiviral cytokine IFN-a. In expanding these results, we found that subsets of these CFS patients had increased TGF-ß and others had increased IL-9. We will discuss these and other published results that suggest that chronic stimulation of the innate immune system is a component of the development and progression of disease in many CFS patients. In chronic diseases the resulting immunodeficiency allows activation and replication of many secondary pathogens. Thus CFS patients can share complex pathogenic complications with patients with HIV AIDS and HTLV-1 associated myelopathy. In many CFS patient populations, the presence of several concomitant infections, from Borrelia burgdorferi to reactivated exogenous and endogenous viruses, chronically dysregulating the immune system, is a major risk factor in the development of pathology. Other risk factors include alterations in microbiota regulation, mitochondrial toxicity, cognitive dysfunction and impaired methylation pathways. These factors can also increase the risk of others diseases, including cancer, in some CFS patients. These results have important implications for the management of many people with this diagnosis. We will review in this chapter the use of antiinflammatories, anti-virals and other therapies, as well as discussing how repurposing drugs holds promise in the treatment of patients displaying the immune abnormalities identified in these CFS patients.

On April 16, 1996, Congressman Jerrold Nadler spoke on the floor of Congress about his request for a General Accounting investigation into how the CDC had handled the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome epidemic. 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. Maybe it will turn out that HHV-6A is the cause of CFS; maybe it will turn out that other viruses are involved. But Congress can mandate research into CFS as a contagious, viral disease. I will certainly try to get Congress to do that as soon as possible."
Unfortunately, back in 1996, Nadler's warning to Congress and the medical establishment fell on deaf ears. But now that the Democrats have regained power in the House of Representatives, the newly prominent Congressman Nadler may finally be able to bring the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome epidemic and HHV-6 to the public's attention.
This book by Charles Ortleb, which details Neenyah Ostrom's diligent reporting on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, is necessary reading for anyone who wants to know the whole history of an epidemic which has been hidden in plain sight. For a decade, starting in 1988, Ostrom reported on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the damage that the virus HHV-6 does to patients. What her reporting uncovered about the true nature of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome epidemic will shock you.
In The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic Cover-up, Charles Ortleb recounts his newspaper's fascinating struggle to get the medical and political establishment to pay attention to Ostrom's pioneering investigative reporting on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
By the time you finish Ortleb's stunning memoir, you will understand why the CDC has been unwilling to tell the public the truth about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The CDC does not want the public to know that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a transmissible illness linked to a virus that affects every system in the body. They have covered up the illness for so many decades that the neglected virus is totally out of control. Now it is causing a long list of other illnesses and many cancers. The CDC has put us all in danger.
Ostrom's decade of reporting on HHV-6 was recently vindicated by this statement from scientists at the University of Wurzburg:"While HHV-6 was long believed to have no negative impact on human health, scientists today increasingly suspect the virus of causing various diseases such as multiple sclerosis or chronic fatigue syndrome. Recent studies evensuggest that HHV-6 might play a role in the pathogenesis of several diseases of the central nervous system such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression or Alzheimer's."
The big question about Neenyah Ostrom and New York Native is this: How many lives would have been saved if the scientific establishment and the mainstream media had paid more attention to Neenyah Ostrom's reporting on HHV-6 and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in New York Native?
One day, if there is any justice in the world, the CDC and the medical establishment will apologize for not paying attention to Neenyah Ostrom's groundbreaking work on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome that Charles Ortleb published in New York Native. That would be a fitting end to one of journalism's greatest David and Goliath stories.
Anyone who wants to help Congressman Nadler and the other members of Congress who are trying to end the suffering of millions of people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, needs to read The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic Cover-up.
