 Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in Northern Nevada on JSTOR


Abstract

The clinical and laboratory findings from studies of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) from northern Nevada are summarized. Physicians caring for these patients have estimated that >400 patients with CFS from northern Nevada and nearby communities in California were identified between 1984 and 1988. As a result of these studies, a cluster of clinical and laboratory features associated with the illness in moderately to severely affected patients has been identified: profound fatigue of prolonged duration; cervical lymphadenopathy; recurrent sore throat and/or symptoms of influenza; loss of cognitive function manifested by loss of memory and loss of ability to concentrate; myalgia; impairment of fine motor skills; abnormal findings on magnetic resonance imaging brain scan; depressed level of antibody to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen; elevated level of antibody to EBV early antigen restricted component; elevated ratio of CD4 helper to CD8 suppressor cells; and strong evidence of association of this syndrome with infection with human herpesvirus 6. More-serious and longer-lasting neurologic impairments, including seizures, psychosis, and dementia, have also been observed in some of these patients.

""Summary: A new study in Scientific Reports concludes human herpesvirus 6 may impair the brain’s ability to repair itself in demylination diseases, such as multiple sclerosis. HHV-6 is the most common human herpes virus, with an estimated 80% of people being exposed to infection during childhood. Researchers found the virus produces a protein that can impair the ability of brain cells to repair damaged myelin.

Follow @HHV6_University Tweet 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.

The big question for French scientists and intellectuals:

-
Image
Has the Montagnier-Agut HIV Fraud Ponzi scheme and HHV-6 cover-up turned international science into a kind of totalitarian Vichy France universe of pseudoscience, a world where truthtellers and whistleblowers are silenced or punished? A world where research that challenges the Montagnier-Agut HIV Fraud Ponzi scheme and HHV-6 cover-up is never published or discussed in a free marketplace of ideas. An Orwellian, dystopian world where anyone who recognizes the real nature of the Montagnier-Agut HIV Fraud Ponzi scheme and HHV-6 coverup is stigmatized as a "denialist" and exiled from polite society. Let the great debate in Paris begin! To learn more about Vichy France, click here. If HHV-6 is the real cause of AIDS, here are some of the implications: 1. HIV is a massive scientific fraud. Something akin to a Ponzi scheme. Scientists who challenged the HIV theory of AIDS (the ones who have been thuggishly censored and silenced) turn out to be on the money. 2. Chroni...

We asked GROQ to create a debate about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and AIDS. Create a debate between two scientists about whether Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is part of the AIDS epidemic. One scientist think it is and HIV is not the cause of AIDS. The other doesn't think Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is part of the AIDS epidemic and HIV is the cause of AIDS. Moderator: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight, we have the pleasure of hosting a debate between two esteemed scientists, Dr. Maria Rodriguez and Dr. John Lee, on the topic of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and its relation to the AIDS epidemic. Dr. Rodriguez will argue that CFS is part of the AIDS epidemic and that HIV is not the cause of AIDS, while Dr. Lee will argue that CFS is not part of the AIDS epidemic and that HIV is the cause of AIDS. Let's begin with our first speaker, Dr. Rodriguez. Dr. Rodriguez: Thank you, Moderator. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a debilitating condition characterized by persistent fatigue, muscle...

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 ...

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...

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...
