I wonder if it could be a treatment(ritux) combined with an antiviral eg if u have a history of high ebv titres then once u knock out the b-cells then this home for ebv should cause lower viral titre levels?? and maybe antivirals can help reduce or slow down the b-cells from being reinfected with these particular viruses and keep people in remission longer. Just a thought??

cheers!!!

Heaps Dr Kogelnik is using Rituximab with an anti-viral already. I am curious about it as well.

What Dr Mella and Fluge said at the Invest in ME conference is they believe that Rituximab causes an "ALT- Control- Delete" ( or reset efferct ) in the body. I am so glad they found it works on our population and I am very keen to be a guinea pig. However I am sure Rituximab is not offering us a cure, but a temporary treatment until science (and governments) figures it out.

Not holding my breath on the gov't figuring this out. The history is sad and thousands have likely diea if not more!
