2 Doctors taking ARVs for CFS

[SpecialK82]

Article about two doctors that are taking ARV's with some success. One doc is Jamie Deckoff-jones the other is new to me, Dr. Snyderman.

[I]Dr. Snyderman is an oncologist, a cancer specialist, who himself developed a rare cancer that is not that uncommon in CFS patients. He started treatment with AZT and Isentress at HIV doses. He reported that he felt 25% better after 3 weeks. In the 6th month of treatment he added Viread, also at the HIV dosage. At a medical conference he presented a poster detailing his tests, treatment and outcome.

His poster indicates that he no longer tests positive for the XMRV retrovirus and the markers for his cancer have improved.[/I]

Also an interesting note at the bottom of the article [I]"Dr. Mikovits is scheduled to report on similar ARV drug treatments by other physicians on January 17, 2011."[/I]

is she scheduled to speak on jan 17th? Anyone know where?

I don't have MCS (not severely anyway), but that is a great idea to put the seminar requirement about fragrances. I unintentionally wore a pea size amount of lotion to a doctors appointment once. They caught me as soon as I walked up to the counter to check-in, but thankfully there was no more MCS patients coming in that afternoon.

This should be a very interesting seminar. Do we have anyone going?

'Fragrance free' - what a great idea. I almost passed out early one morning when a ward Sister (nurse) in hospital came in wearing perfume. And that was when I was young, healthy and working! Perfume is a potential lethal weapon and this one could stun the nervous system at 100 yards - no kidding.

Thanks for posting this seminar info Special K.
