"Hope", who performed the studies that found that spouses of ME/CFS patients in Incline Village were no more likely to come down with ME/CFS (or was that "just" CFS?) than other people?
I mean, if it was, for example, the CDC, I would doubt these results - because, why would a "scientist" that say that there are no outbreaks of CFS and that it's all just mass hysteria would perform a study that would imply that CFS is sexually transmissble?
Anyway, the question now is not just about ME/CFS, but also about other diseases: Do spouses of people with Canadian Criteria CFS are more exposable to diseases (such as, but not restricted to, ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, Prostate Cacner, Breast Cancer etc. etc. etc.)?
Is it too early to ask if XMRV is sexually transmittable?
