This has got to be an interesting one, possibly accounting for various 'subtypes' of CFS?
We now have clear evidence of on-going mutation, substantiating one kind of problem in past research. The next thing I'm looking for is recombination. This turns up regularly in MuLV research, and now we are told there are many parallels with human gamma retrovirus and MuLV.Totally. It's the way details like this are able to explain all the long-standing mysteries that I find so compelling.
Most likely because it took researchers 2 years to do this the first time. As you can see, this wasn't enough to get them a fair hearing with critics of infectious hypotheses."In sum, none of the four studies that have failed to confirm the PCR evidence reported by Lombardi et al., nor our own study, has attempted to fully replicate that study."
Indeed, one year on, nobody has. Why not?
