I think you might be wrong here. I don't know of any study that looked into drugs that work against the viruses found in the Lo/Alter study. There are probably studies looking for drugs that work against ploytropic MLVs, as these were known to exist in animals (I think there are probably studies about these), but not about the exact viruses that were found in the Lo/Alter studies - which are only "more closley related to polytropic MLVs".but it was always my understanding that the 3 HIV meds work on both XMRV AND the Lo/Alter viruses....so i dont know whats going on...can anyone shed some light on this? has anyone heard anything??
Let them continue to think that... I would still put my trust in Dr. Alter. He might be wrong here - but I think that there are more chances that these "some researchers" are wrong.(some researchers think the PMLV's are contaminants)
