Hi Rrr,
Yes, many unknowns here but we watched the Klein video on prostate cancer and XMRV and that gave us some more clues. He said that when XMRV was infused intravenously it was detected in prostate cells (don't remember which kind) at the first test--i.e. within 5 days. This seems to mean that the stuff is very mobile and active. Then, at later tests, it disappeared from the first sites and showed up in other places--eventually in the brain.
My doc tested us for the presence of XMRV in all the major organs and for both of us it only showed up in the brain--which to us indicates we didn't pick it up "yesterday." Also the switch from positive to negative and back to positive, only indicates the level of viral load. In other words, we test positive if there is more XMRV in us than in the vial and negative if there is less XMRV in us than in the vial.
Some pathogens are available in testing vials of "nanodoses" (the Lyme family is) so that my doc can test us not only at some standard level, but using the "nanodose" vial, at a level that is barely detectable. XMRV is not yet available in a nanodose sample so we are coming up "positive" or "negative" when measured against some arbitrary standard concentration level set by whoever supplies the samples. As we have seen we can "cross this arbitrary border" with ease--though it took me 5 months to return to the "positive" level.
An interesting and uncomfortable update: we are now waiting for our own set of perspex blocks to arrive so we can continue treatment. We had to overnight the doc's set back to him (he travels here from another city). So we have not had a treatment since Tues and really feel like crap! Hoping they arrive today. I did a FIR sauna last night and feel considerably better this a.m.--I'm guessing that this helped with "die-off" or whatever is going on.
This is leading us to guess that we had established some hellish homeostasis with XMRV and treating it has disrupted this. We are thinking that it is vital, if we are going to chase this critter, to give treatments continuously, at whatever interval proves most effective.
I am not sure what my doc is communicating back to Cowden and Klinghardt. Though though they are treating with the same methods, I am not sure whether they are treating any XMRV patients. I'll ask my doc to report back to them. I requested that my doctor get a sample of XMRV and when he did, he began testing all his patients for it. He is treating about 10 to 15 for it now, though I think Sergio and I are the first to try this energetic method. He was using the remedy orally on others (and me earlier) and only tried it with the perspex blocks when I said that the oral method had been hard for me to tolerate.
So, if you communicate any of this to your doc, just extract anything that looks helpful. Sorry it is not written more scientifically. While these methods of treatment are based on the work of a German physicist (Dr. Fritz-Albert Popp), I haven't tried to read his work and am not sure if it is in English. Since the source is Klinghardt, who is German, it may not have been translated.
I'll update this thread when we try treatment again.
I just was reading the thread on Raltegravir and that is also very interesting. From very anecdotal patient reports, we are getting an idea that whatever XMRV's role is, it has a role and we need to treat it.
Best,
Sushi
