Maybe the story will continue one day. Right now I'm more interested in those pretty blue retroviruses. I wonder in what part of my body they're hanging out. I wonder what they would think of vodka!

lol Gracenote!

Thanks for the tip Sarah, I will try it next time I need to. I'm able to tolerate small amounts of alcohol for some reason.

After looking at the Diagnose Support website that Carla-nl set up for XMRV news around the world, I got curious about what scientists from around the world thought about the XMRV discovery. Below are translations from two of articles that caught my attention. Part funny:D Part scary!!:eek:


Chronic fatigue syndrome - a contagious thing?
This is from a Moscow news source.





Chronic fatigue syndrome. Virus, or just weakness? from a Ukraine news source.

Oh My ! :D Now that is funny.

I understood that the cryptostrongylus pulmoni live & multiply in the blood, but the larvae live in the lungs (so they can be coughed up to infect other hosts)?

I could be wrong, but if this is so then just treating the lungs won't help - anyway, the Ivermectin worked for me.
