As you all know, dr. jolicoeur in montreal has done an XMRV study which has yet to be presented. i communicated with him and asked if the rumors are true that they could not find XMRV in the CFS samples. He declined to reveal that information.
I asked if he used methods other than PCR and he said that many methods were used. I asked specifically if he tried to culture the virus and he said many good methods were used....I took that to imply that culturing was tried. He would not give me any details, saying it was confidential until presented to researchers.
I told him that many people on the message boards with CFS have tested positive for the virus. He is interested in communicating with any Canadians who have tested positive. He wants to take blood samples from these people so he can use them as controls.
IF YOU HAVE A POSITIVE XMRV test and are in CANADA...PLEASE SEND ME A PERSONAL MESSAGE and i will forward your email address to Dr. Jolicoeur. If you prefer to contact him yourself, please mention that you are being sent by SUE.
Thank you!
