I caught this research article by Ying where they successfully gene-edited HSV 1 to turn the virus into junk DNA by editing four genes on the virus. My subset of CFS/ME is implicated with up to three viruses: HSV-6/7, EBV and CMV. Now that they've successfully gene-edited HSV-1 gene editing HSV-6/7 and the others should be very rapid. If the viruses are causing the mitochondrial fragmentation then turning them into junk DNA should reverse all the downstream changes and return patients to normal minus some reversible deconditioning. I informed the SolveME.ngo foundation about this study. It looks like we are very close to a cure for this subset!
