Can you point me to a place where I might find more information about this? I've read Dr. Mikovits' name, but am not familiar with the situation. What is her role and why is she unpaid?

I've corresponded with both Dr. Enlander and Dr. Mikovits several times. I assume that Dr. Enlander cannot pay Judy at this time and this turns out to be one way to help her out. This is OK'd by both parties. Dr. Judy has been through a lot financially and still continues to work on our behalf. I still feel her work is key to finding a cause/cure to our suffering. Please help me spread the word to as many in our community as possible. Thanks Jim

I don't know - there are still a lot of unanswered questions about what happened with the XMRV research, and concerns that the initial paper missed out important information.

I don't think we will ever know the full story, but my money would be on the WPI being to blame for that whole mess. Dr. J worked tirelessly on our behalf and they stuck it to her bigtime. She continues to work for all of us and now could really use our help. I hope that everyone will continue to believe in her and help her financially.
