Electron micrograph of one of the HHV6 species

One of the best discussions of HHV-6 online.

David Overton on HHV-6:

I started testing and treating HHV 6 because it can cause circulation problems and heart disease. I next found it can be part of acne, especially adult acne or rosacea. It is also a treatable cause of autoimmune problems, such as colitis, thyroid problems, rheumatology problems, multiple sclerosis (80% of cases) and other autoimmune conditions. I was surprised to see many neurological or nervous system problems improve with treatment for many of the herpes infections. Headaches, anxiety, mood changes, attention problems, memory problems, numbness, tingling, neuropathies, twitches and other problems often improved. This is because the herpes infections infect the nervous system.
HHV 6 grows inside white blood cells (lymphocytes, B cells, T cells, monocytes) and nerve cells and thus may not show on standard tests. Clues for this infection include abnormal:
• white blood cells
• abnormal red cells
• abnormal platelets
• abnormal urine tests
• abnormal liver or kidney tests
• abnormal circulation tests, including high cholesterol or CRP (C reactive protein)

  This meta-analysis suggests that HHV-6 infection is significantly associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Nevertheless, the exact causal mechanisms remain unclear. Further longitudinal and mechanistic studies are needed to better understand the role of HHV-6 in Alzheimer’s pathogenesis and to evaluate potential antiviral options for preventive or therapeutic strategies.

Perplexity on Rebecca Culshaw Smith, and PrEP as Genocide

  Rebecca Culshaw’s Substack articles establish a foundation for arguing that the mass promotion and use of PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) in HIV prevention could be considered a form of “genocide,” rooted in several lines of critique that challenge both the scientific and ethical underpinnings of the intervention. ​ Critique of Efficacy Claims Culshaw repeatedly questions the reliability of the efficacy data cited for PrEP, especially the widely publicized claim of “99% effectiveness.” She critiques the primary studies behind this figure, particularly the UK “Impact Trial,” highlighting that its actual observed efficacy was only 86%, and that even this figure is derived from retrospective, less scientifically rigorous analysis. She emphasizes that PrEP, to justify the aggressive and potentially coercive marketing campaigns behind it, should meet a much higher bar of evidence given its target population often consists of healthy individuals.

K.S. and the Jane Teas ASFV hypothesis of AIDS

-
  Are spindle cells found in ASFV lesions in pigs? Spindle-shaped cells have been reported in ASFV (African Swine Fever Virus) lesions in pigs, particularly in areas with hemorrhagic lesions such as the epicardium and renal pelvis. These spindle-shaped cells were observed to be labeled with ASFV antigen, indicating that they are infected or affected by the virus. However, the primary cell types infected by ASFV in pigs are macrophages and monocytes, which are more consistently reported as the main targets in the spleen and other organs. While spindle-shaped cells can be found in certain ASFV lesions, they are not considered the main cell type involved in ASFV infection, but rather a morphological feature observed in specific pathological contexts. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih +2 ​ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10927503/ https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/spectrum.02902-24 https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/veterinary-science/articles/10.3389/fvets.2022.978398/full https://www.na...

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...

From Perplexity A.I.   Assuming Rebecca Culshaw's Substack and books are correct, here are 20 moments in the last 40 years when scientists should have recognized fundamental problems in the HIV/AIDS paradigm, based on major controversies, failed predictions, and repeatedly anomalous findings highlighted by critics like Culshaw and others: Key Moments Highlighting Paradigm Failures 1984: Early claims of HIV as the sole cause of AIDS were made before conclusive evidence, leading to widespread adoption of a viral paradigm without rigorous challenge or alternate hypothesis consideration. ​ Mid-1980s: Discovery disputes between Luc Montagnier (France) and Robert Gallo (US) over the "AIDS virus" involved accusations of sample misappropriation and scientific misconduct, but were glossed over for the sake of an international consensus. ​ 1987: Peter Duesberg publicly challenged the HIV-AIDS causation model, noting unanswered questions around risk group disease patterns and viral ...

Activation of endogenous retrovirus reverse transcriptase in multiple sclerosis patient lymphocytes by inactivated HSV-1, HHV-6 and VZV

-
  Activation of endogenous retrovirus reverse transcriptase in multiple sclerosis patient lymphocytes by inactivated HSV-1, HHV-6 and VZV - Aarhus University Abstract Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) and herpesviruses have been associated with the development of multiple sclerosis (MS). These virus groups interact with each other and have been shown to induce synergistic immune responses. Here, we focus on the possible role of herpesviruses as contributing factors in HERV activation. We demonstrate the ability of HSV-1, HHV-6, and VZV antigens to induce higher RT activity in peripheral lymphocytes from MS patients vs. controls during the first 6 days post-antigen stimulation. On subsequent days, only VZV can sustain the increase in the RT expression in cells from MS patients. The RT induction does not depend on herpes replication.

Ablashi discusses HHV-6, AIDS, Alzheimer's, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

-

"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...
