#76~ NIH/FDA vindicates WPI paper= BooYah!

Latest Paper links 85% of ME/CFS patients with a form of Retrovirus !!

This is "one" of the days we've been waiting for... and it did NOT disappoint.
Here is a pdf copy of the Alter/Lo paper if you want to read the whole thing..
PNAS-2010-Lo-1006901107.pdf

As of this moment's count over 104+ articles have been written per Google by various new agencies/papers about this research Paper on the latest RETROVIRUS Family that is infecting HUMANS...a good number of them unfortunately tho seem to MISS the Major POINT Here.. that THIS is a Retrovirus... NOT just your average "I've got a cold" Rhinovirus.. 
Maybe they forgot HIV that caused AIDS is a RETROVIRUS ??

The NEXT Question is WHEN are they going to take it SERIOUSLY with regard to the "Public Blood Supply" and DEMAND that the blood supply be screened for this Family of Retroviruses so that every person about to "donate/receive" blood or receive a transfusion does NOT have to worry about passing on the Horrible Diseases that those of us for the last 24 years have suffered from... it may not kill you IMMEDIATELY Like AIDS, but Trust me, it WILL Kill your Life As YOU Knew it...

It is Progressive and can/will go on to cause other organs to fail and take your families energies, bankrupt bank accounts and any semblance of a "normal life" they had with it.

Statement on XMRV/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome 

Positive replication study confirms WPI’s findings

The Whittemore Peterson Institute(WPI) would like to congratulate the distinguished authors of the recently released replication study linking XMRV with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Dr. Shyh‐Ching Lo of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Dr. Harvey Alter of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Their published findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), confirm the central thesis of WPI’s 2009 study associating a new human gamma retrovirus, XMRV, with patients diagnosed with myalgic
encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) while also providing answers for the failure of others to find such a link.

Validation by these prestigious researchers from two United States governmental agencies demonstrates the need for expanded research on human gamma retroviral infection and its association to ME/CFS and other neuro‐immune diseases.

“We are hopeful that with continued collaboration between our government, the biomedical industry and institutions such as the WPI, we will continue to discover answers for the millions around the world who suffer with neuro‐immune diseases,” said Annette Whittemore, president and founder of the Whittemore Peterson Institute. For additional thoughts by Dr. Judy Mikovits, please view (below).

The WPI is committed to the research and further understanding of XMRV and its
relationship to neuro-­immune disease. With the recent opening of the institute’s new translational research facilities located on the medical school campus of the University of Nevada, Reno, come expanded opportunities for new avenues of research and development of effective diagnostics and treatments for those affected by neuro-­immune disease.

MORE Research is Needed NOW more than EVER so we don't have to go thru another Epidemic without the Research having been DONE when we KNOW we have the knowledge, the Scientific talent and the Drug companies are ready to alter their meds and start Trials ASAP... Please Help us Help YOU>

If you wish to Help:

*You can pass this article on to someone you know that NEEDS to know this info.

*You can pass this article on to someone that you feel would be in a position to Help us. 

*You can write a letter to the Dept of HHS and ask Sec Kathleen Sebelius to screen the country's blood supply ASAP for the family of the MRV Retroviruses.

*You can Help by even spreading the Word that a 3rd Retrovirus is OUT THERE or Rather IN OUR BLOOD and the Public needs to BE AWARE NOW....

*You can also be aware that there is a HUGE Difference between "chronic fatigue" and "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" aka ME/CFS myalgic encephalomyelitis.. that the CDC has Refused to ACKNOWLEDGE FOR 25+ YEARS... "as if diseases will Honor County borders.." in the rest of the world this is called M.E.

*You can also even if it's just $5 Help us by donating to the WPI...

The ONLY Place like this in the WORLD> Seriously !!! They need EVERY Penny for Research they can...They were the FIRST even w/o their building to make the First Breakthru on this illness, but this is ONLY the first skirmish... we have Far to GO...

http://www.wpinstitute.org/help/help_donation.html

In the last CENTURY the World has NEVER seen a facility like this built around the patient, with researchers, scientists and Dr's to treat the patients... This is HISTORY MAKING AND NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT cuz you KNOW "The Insurance Co" sure as heck aren't gonna pay for this... So PLease check this out and then collect those pennies, nickels, dimes, dollars and whatever you can gather.. any kind of Fund Raiser you can think of...PLEASE....
Do I need to tell you HOW many children also have this illness ?? 
You would be crying and not be able to read this blog. Seriously ....

This is what we have been working HARD for and This Building JUST OPENED last weekend... so they are just beginning..

Without your Help EVERYTHING will take LONGER....and Retroviruses 

spread Fast and do NOT discriminate against age, sex or profession.

The NEW WPI Facility~



The 17million (so far) around the World ♥THANK YOU♥

#73~ CDC-XMRV (not) paper ~ WPI responds

Research Science badmitton? What the heck??
Science paper: ping pong, tennis, golf, whatever is NOT what this is supposed to be about..
This is a time for Serious Research Science NOT game playing.



This is REALLY getting OLD... 
IMHO, I believe that when Reeves left the CFS Dept, that he took or buried the samples of XMRV so they would never be discovered at the CDC. Reeves even SAID~ while he was still in charge of the CFS Dept of the CDC, that he "didn't expect to find XMRV" ~ duh yeah... 
even when it's sent to YOU ?? He either has NO brain cells or is INTENTIONALLY using another definition and testing methods so that he/they will NEVER find them as he states...

Hum... SURE sounds like a cover up and he must have buried the evidence before he left the Dept to me.. but WAIT... is that his name I SEE on the NEW Paper ????

This bumbling group that is "suppose to be" OUR Center for Disease Control

can't even find XMRV when it is "Handed to Them." HOW Dense are they?

Can anyone say ~ 
"Intentional Cover-up," 
"History is being repeated,"
"the band plays on"...
anything ringing a bell yet?

And mind you.. this is NOT ONLY about ME/CFS... This is NOW a "Public Health" issue because of all of the donated blood for the last 25 years that has contaminated the public blood supply ALL over the World that now has XMRV in it... Hello !!!

We REALLY need the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)

Sec. Kathleen Sebelius to "reign in" the CDC and to do some "house cleaning"

over there and make them a source of Pride not a National Embarrassment and a Public Health HAZARD.

PLEASE write to her and Sen. Harry Reid and ask them to form a 'Congressional Committee' to find out what the heck they are doing over there with the samples they are being sent and WHAT kind of Research they are doing if the WPI, the Cleveland Clinic, the National Cancer Institute, NIH and FDA "can" FIND XMRV but the CDC can't...???  

They are proving themselves to be absolutely NOT Trustworthy and there Needs to be a Congressional Investigation about their inept behavior. They are NOT conducting themselves with Integrity and are certainly "covering-UP" something... and it smells rotten for sure.

We have written to them since we first sent the Obama-Biden Transition paper in after they were elected. so we need to keep this IN FRONT OF THEM...

Even the CFIDS Association, Dr Suzanne Vernon said the CDC was NOT looking for XMRV... and "That's saying a mouthful."


They are wasting our precious tax dollars and NOT finding what is handed to them.. Are they Ignorant, Dumb, Blind, or what's their excuse de jour?


Ask them AGAIN to "change" the CDC definition of CFS and to NOT use the Fakuda, but the Canadian definition...We have already presented the CFSAC with the petition that was signed by thousands of people. We do NOT want them to Widen the definition and test folks that are only depressed or tired.. that is NOT the population that they are suppose to be testing.....THAT is NOT ME/CFS..

We the People "will NOT Tolerate this grade school chemistry" from the CDC any more.. PERIOD. 

Please write to the First Lady Michelle Obama also and to Senator Harry Reid and to Sec of HHS Kathleen Sebelius..

First Lady Michelle Obama
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington, DC 20500-0004

*** If you do NOT wish to snailmail them and WISH them to be DIRECTLY Handed to Sen. Harry Reid and he will take them back to Wash. D.C. and "make SURE" they are given to the Proper person... Then you may write your letters and email them to Andrea Whittemore and she WILL hand them to him Personally !!! and we will hand him buckets of Letters that should make a GREAT Impact, so Please start writing and editing your wording until you have exactly what you want to say and then by the end of July we shall be ready to send these ALL to Andrea and Make an IMPACT back in Wash DC when the Congress comes back into session, as the NIH is holding the 1st International XMRV Workshop over Labor Day weekend, and the next CFSAC meeting will be taking place so the HHS "will be" paying attention to what is going on.. and This would be the Perfect time for Sen. Harry Reid to see if he can get a Congressional Hearing called depending on just HOW BAD things roll out this summer..during the summer Retroviral paper show..don't forget your caramel popcorn to enjoy the show while you take your notes..

The Senate is on July 4th and summer Break soon... so we are working for "Maximum Impact" here.. so the more letters we can give him "at ONCE" the Bigger our Impact will be.. so watch the Insulting non-science show this summer of the CDC and write you letters and then get them to Andrea to hand to Sen Reid personally when WPI "OPENS their Doors", as they are in Nevada~ HE will be in attendance.. So PLEASE help us get these letters TO him DIRECTLY, OK? Seriously !!!

Here is the WPI's response to the new CDC paper~

Whittemore Peterson Institute Statement regarding
Centers for Disease Control XMRV Study

Contrary to the WPI study published in Science in October, 2009, as well as studies done by
others, including the NIH and FDA, Mr. William Switzer of the Centers for Disease Control reported
that his research team was unable to detect XMRV in CFS patient samples. This negative finding is in
contrast to the WPI study in which we detected XMRV in 67% of CFS patient samples.

To correctly replicate scientific studies it is imperative that researchers use the same methods and patient criteria to ensure accurate results. The methodology used by the CDC was not the same as that used in the WPI study nor was the patient selection criteria. In September 2009, WPI sent the CDC twenty confirmed positive samples and the appropriate methodology to help them develop a clinically validated test. However, this team chose not to do this.

Until researchers use clinically validated tests to detect XMRV in patient samples, as WPI and their collaborators have successfully done, an accurate association of XMRV to any diseased population cannot be made. For this reason, WPI researchers and many others are currently validating more sensitive clinical assays to assist federal agencies in their search for the true prevalence of XMRV in the human population.

WPI will continue its core mission to deliver answers to patients with neuro-immune diseases by supporting the development of accurate diagnostics and providing effective therapeutics and clinical care.

http://www.wpinstitute.org/news/docs/XMRV-CDC%20Statementrevisedawfinalawfinal.pdf

********************************
As we need to find out who "all over the world has XMRV and who doesn't" and screen the world's blood supply... this is a BIG deal.


It does NOT matter what illness/cancer this retrovirus is linked to or causes...
The Research that is Done needs to be Legitimate and Accurate and they need to be using the same methods and samples. ONLY then will we get consistent results and then move on to researching what else these folks have picked up and sort them out from those that don't have it and look for the causes of the other Neuro Immune Diseases.. 

I have also just read a report that even claims that Narcolepsy is probably an Immune Disease. 

The repercussions are endless.. but the testing has to be flawless and Legit for us to make progress at all...

Please write your letters AND also ask everyone you know to support the ONLY "current place" that is NOT a Gov't agency and is a non-profit working ONLY to help us with Legitimate Science....aka the WPI.

http://www.wpinstitute.org/help/help_donation.html 

Also, Please write your Thank You notes to Dr Dan 
Peterson, ASAP~ 
so we can present them to him in a creatively hand made scrapbook 
form graciously made by Lisa at the WPI Gala... 
so send those notes in, so she has time to put the whole thing together, OK? Thanx

I sent mine 2 nights ago... The Gala will be after the
XMRV - NIH Conference, after the CFSAC and will be after WPI 's Official Opening..
so we HOPE it to be a GRAND Night... see the "previous post" about the Event.

Bless you WPI and everyone there....

#65~ CFSAC + ME/CFS/FM "Awareness DAY" Today !!

  This Wonderful Week actually started off with Mother's Day and many children delivered much love to their mothers in the way of Donations to the Whittemore Peterson Institute to HELP raise money for the URGENTLY Needed research to help everyone in a MORE timely manner... 
Kudos to all of the children and Mothers that came thru and Gave 

what you KNEW was needed and NOT just more things.. you gave 

so that you could have more YEARS with which to LOVE the person in whose name you donated...

Bless you all~ WAY to GO !!!

We are Officially in the middle of AWARENESS WEEK and it is  

TODAY International 2010 ME/CFS/FM Awareness DAY !! 

(including actually ALL Neuro Immune Diseases)

Then on Monday we had the full 1 day CFSAC meeting in Washington DC, was NOT ONLY attended the FIRST TIME EVER by the Asst. to the Sec. of the Dept. of HHS, Dr  Howard K. Koh, but he was actually ON the Agenda for a

"Welcome Statement from the Assistant Secretary for Health"

I want to THANK the person that made these videos available for the World to SEE.

Here is Dr. Wanda Jones PhD., Dr. Howard Koh~HHS,
and the CFSAC members & ex-officio members.
These are all shown here as ONE Segment with the 
"money quotes" in the 3rd part...

My thought in including these here was for those people that were unable to watch the CFSAC meeting LIVE and also for those around the world that would like to get a look at the USA  CFSAC, and this might be a good section to show and SHARE with those you Wish to MAKE AWARE "This WEEK of ME/CFS" this might HELP speak for you....






As you can tell THIS got the Week off with a Grand manner..
not exactly a CURE yet.. but an IMPORTANT STEP for CFS in the USA.

The CFSAC made quite a few recommendations that 
will be going to the HHS for Review and Reply~

They recommend that all people diagnosed with CFS do NOT donate blood~ PERIOD.

They recommend that the HHS Secretary include the education and training of medical providers for CFS in Health Care Reform.

They  categorically "Reject" the attempt to classify CFS as "Psych" in the ICD.

They also made many motions that have to do with their charter, but these I believe were the MOST Important to the patients and public.

Many other videos are already on youtube and many of the written testimonies are available via .pdf download HERE

Some of the Highlight Testimonies I also would like to share with you are as follows :

Annette Whittemore from WPI ~



We received Testimony from Nancy McGrory Richardson, Education and Outreach Director for Hemispherx Biopharma that Makes Ampligen...
explaining the FDA new requests and how they are progressing.



One Patient Testimony I REALLY wanted to bring to you was from
Dr. Mary Schweitzer PhD. Please listen to her points..


Another Testimony I wanted to you hear was from
Dr. Fred Friedberg PhD President of IACFS/ME




The activities and communications are coming FAST and Flurious
and I am adding many MORE "NEW" patient Blogs to this blogroll..for your places to go for commraderie and possible info that might help you. I've also added more to the Herbs/Meds section. I am listing these for INFO only and I am NOT advising you to take anything w/o your Dr's advice.

If you have NOT downloaded a Ribbon anywhere to add to whatever you need it for to HELP Raise Awareness PLEASE feel FREE to download one of the ones I have added at the Top and you can also still add a Twibbon to your avatar by using the Twibbon's shown. We know you by your Ribbons ♥


How many have added a BIG BLUE RIBBON to your 
lamp post or tree out front.
..to Raise Awareness in your neighborhood?

Another member, Diane Martin, from "down-under"
has also created a flyer (above) you MAY download and print and Pass OUT to your friends, Dr's office waiting rooms, any place you thing you can set some..
Thanks Diane ♥♥♥


Many folks that are having Birthdays during this time and month are
asking that everyone instead of giving them Birthday presents to 
Please Donate to  the WPI so more research can be done to HELP us quicker.


Please if you ARE a Mother or have a child donate  in their name
as many Mother and children ARE effected.. Mostly 60% Females.


http://www.wpinstitute.org/help/help_donation.html

The week is getting off to a GREAT start.. let's WRITE DOWN all the Ideas of things we aren't doing NOW so we can organize and DO THEM next year for SURE, OK?

Hope the rest of the week continues as good as the first part and that I have MORE to report back soon...

**GO TEAM GO**

#53~ 40th Anniv. Earth Day~ Meds for XMRV? studies, World? blood supply

 As we Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day I pray that we 
Re-NEW our Care for the Earth herself AND all of her inhabitants...
Not ONLY the humans but also her animals and resources.
We ARE all one huge Eco-system and NEED to pay attention to what
is happening to ALL of us and what we are doing to our bodies and to the Mother Nature. May we please PAY Attention to what Mother Nature is telling us thru Science and how it is effecting not only our atmosphere but how in this new
21st Century whatever is done in one corner of the earth by humans effects
ALL of US...as we can see by the spread also of all of the flus and viruses.
If it takes a Village to raise a child, Let's UNITE and Build this
World Village to Care for the Earth AND Our Health Worldwide..
We ARE indeed a world of dominoes now and in this jet age microbes and
people are traveling faster than ever....  

Please write your Governmental Reps, etc and let them KNOW you CARE
about BOTH of these issues and ARE watching HOPE the act in the 
BEST Interest of ALL of us.. and we ARE paying attention to HOW they respond...Thx. ♥♥♥
*****************************************************
There have been some new XMRV studies undergoing in Utah that are progressing well and I know of at least one Positive that has shown up so far..so
Carry ON  Dr. Lucinda Bateman..and Dr. Singh...


There has been some news out lately about some new research into older HIV drugs that appear to work on XMRV.. and the next step is to test this theory in animal research..before any human trial would be available.

Articles are now showing up about the research of older HIV meds being researched as a possible viable use against XMRV.  

Journal of Virology

PNAS article also

***********************************************************

NOW ~ finally there is some talk about them actually paying attention to XMRV and the USA Blood Supply after the Recommendations of the CFSAC meeting Oct 2009.

There is a current article from the WSJ with some info about attention being paid to it. This is just the beginning folks, so we really NEED to write to the HHS and let them KNOW we WANT a standardized test to screen the blood supply. There are WAY too many XAND illnesses that don't show up until years later that we need to PREVENT...

Just like I am SURE Isaac Asimov would have appreciated the Blood Supply being screened for HIV back when he had a transfusion and many years later died because of the AIDS-tainted blood he has been given... He was told for YEARS to keep it QUIET, and then Arthur Ashe came out that he had AIDS and a few others and after Isaac's Dr's "were ALL dead" then his family was given the GREEN light to let the public know... NOT THIS TIME Folks...OK?

Wall Street Journal- Blood Supply Article

The Canadians are NOW asking people with ME/CFS "NOT" to donate to their Blood Supply... so we are spreading the news around... Maybe some ears ARE Opening ???


April 8, 2010: The WPI applauds the Canadian government for their response to the findings of a new human retroviral infection, XMRV, in patients with ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Due to the serious nature of ME/CFS and the possibility of transmitting XMRV through blood transfusions, we believe that it is prudent to be cautious until the scientific community can conduct the necessary studies to determine the prevalence and risk of XMRV in those individuals with ME/CFS.
 
Read the story ("Canada bans blood donations from people with chronic fatigue," April 7, 2010) at Canwest News Service. 

Well, the Tazmans and Australia are also following in rejecting ME/CFS from donating blood...read  Australian and in the Herald Sun in AU.
They are also now rejecting ME/CFS patients from donating blood
in New Zealand .

C.D. form the U.K. suggests:

UK people (and others, actually): please consider emailing NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) at pressoffice@nhsbt.nhs.uk to ask them if they are going to follow the lead of Canada, NZ and Aus in banning pwME from donating blood. You might also mention that the US AABB has banned donations from people who are XMRV positive and that a growing number of UK citizens are testing positive for this virus.

The NHSBT website is here.

#43~ CDC Re: XMRV Inter-Agency Working Group

NEWSFlash...  both Good and Questionable......

The CDC will be part of an interagency working group 
on XMRV, led by Dr. Jerry Holmberg. 
A three-part study will be initiated:

#1) The first part will consist of standardizing and 
validating laboratory methods and reagents for 
XMRV testing. This stage will use samples provided 
by samples collected by Dr. Judy Mikovitz. 
The intention is to create an FDA approved test.

#2) The second part will test a much larger sample 
than the initial study, trying to determine the 
prevalence of XMRV in the general population, 
and the blood supply.

#3) The third part will consist of how XMRV is 
transmitted, how it causes disease, and how it 
affects various subgroups of the population.

Some are "claiming".... but "I'm NOT Convinced yet"

CDC ~  Face saving action:

CDC ME/CFS Group Relieved of XMRV Research

"In a stunning move, responsibility for XMRV research
has been taken away from the ME/CFS working group
within the CDC, and re-assigned to the division of
HIV/AIDS prevention. "

I hate to sound like a downer.... 
but I see a different side to this coin..


"This group will be in charge of replicating findings 
of the Whittemore-Peterson Institute, rather than 
the group under the control of Dr. Reeves. "

  Reeves had ALREADY told us that HIV/AIDS 
was NOT in his CFS working group..
and that HE did NOT work on Viruses... 

Remember all of those long many emails sent
back and forth between him and another about 
WHY he would not come to a conference about 
HHSV or any such thing...?? about a year ago???

"The move is highly significant: it appears that the 
CDC is now acknowledging the serious nature 
of XMRV. "

They are allocating the research of a "retrovirus" 

to the HIV/AIDS section  ----> as it should be.
They are "Simply" researching a virus DUH...

in the the Viral Dept... if they Didn't we would have 
MORE to complain about..and I mean the 
Entire Public..NOT ONLY the ME/CFS folks...

"The forceful demotion of Dr. Reeves is a sign that 
the CDC is in damage control mode." 

They have NOT yet declared that THEY believe 

that XMRV "IS" the Cause of ME/CFS.
This just says to me... that they could also 

be giving Reeves "cover" because

they don't feel that ME/CFS is a virus... get it??? 

It's from Depression.. .Remember? ??

"The HIV/AIDS prevention group in the CDC has 
many capable retrovirologists, who can provide 
years of expertise. This turn of events should lead 
to balanced, common sense research."

I am Hoping that this IS TRUE for XMRV and 
the general Health of ALL of us...
Whether they AGREE with the findings of
WPI.. is yet to be determined...
They de-faced Dr. DeFreitas... 

Will this time be any different??
Be Aware.... VERY aware...study every 
bit of wording.. to NOT read it the way
YOU want it to read..  
Remember they have PAID "PR folks" to 
word things so they will be "spinned" a certain way.

This is the UN-Spin Zone... 

ONLY  in the #3 part at the top would the studying 
of ME/CFS and XMRV come into play and possibly 
interract... THIS tells me that the CDC is studying 
XMRV...NOT that they are studying ANY connection
between XMRV and ME/CFS..... YET>.. like I said...
Maybe in Part #3 IF we stay ON them....
so do NOT Party YET ...Please...

I don't see HOW this YET changes anything 
regarding Reeves or ME/CFS.
It'll take a BETTER argument than this...
PLEASE...Convince me...I "beg" you..... 

BUT....they are supposedly taking action
on "Part of this" ....Do NOT let up the Pressure..
We have Made Great Strides This Year...
Let Us ALL OVER Continue United 
Gentle with ourselves but STRONG against
anyone that tries to perfrom any Cover-up 
OR any more Delays....OK?

**GO TEAM GO**
