Hello,
Is anyone else wondering why no funding has gone into NIAID for XMRV research? Is there something we can do about it? How about our advocates. I believe the only grants so far have gone to NCI for research on the possible prostate cancer connection. XMRV is a retrovirus, so is HIV which receives grant money through through NIAID. It shouldn't matter if a person has cancer, CFS, Fibromyalgia, or something else. If anyone tests positive for XMRV then research funding should be made available regardless. Especially since it may be transmissable.
What can we do to try and make this happen? My thoughts were to write a letter and send it to all our congressmen asking for funding. Any other suggestions?
