After looking at the Diagnose Support website that Carla-nl set up for XMRV news around the world, I got curious about what scientists from around the world thought about the XMRV discovery. Below are translations from two of articles that caught my attention. Part funny
Part scary!!
Chronic fatigue syndrome - a contagious thing? This is from a Moscow news source.
Chronic fatigue syndrome. Virus, or just weakness? from a Ukraine news source.
Chronic fatigue syndrome - a contagious thing? This is from a Moscow news source.
Chronic fatigue, which affects tens of millions of people around the world, can be caused by a virus. This assumption has put forward a team of researchers from the National Cancer Institute USA. Does this mean that we all need to stay away from people who look tired?
Physio-immunologist Sergei Vasenin believes the version of the viral nature of CFS unlikely. "Chronic fatigue syndrome in the majority recorded in ecologically unfavorable regions where high levels of environmental pollution by chemical contaminants or elevated levels of radiation - explains the doctor. These factors suppress the immune system, which contributes to the activation of latent viruses, the emergence of viral infection with the defeat of the central nervous system. This explains that in the patient CFS rights can be found a rich variety of viruses, including the rare. Not the fact that the virus here is the root cause of the disease.
Chronic fatigue syndrome. Virus, or just weakness? from a Ukraine news source.
Nelly Artsimovich, professor, head of the Laboratory immunocorrection SRC Institute of Immunology, the first of Russian scientists began to study chronic fatigue syndrome, explained: "CFS - a curable disease. The main thing - do not succumb to despair. Anyone who wants to get better, believe in their strength, must be healed." Professor advises primarily to avoid conflict situations, not to get involved in quarrels and scandals. Try not to keep trouble for a long time in thought, much less take them to heart. Learn how you can quickly switch to the positive, look at all the positive aspects and concentrate on them.
In addition to mental attitude, it is also important to strengthen the immune system. More to visit the open air and even better at home to wear light clothing, from time to time to walk barefoot on the floor. It is also good sponge oneself down with cool water, each time gradually lowering its temperature, but no more than one degree. If you feel that you are starting to tire quickly, try a cold bath for the feet for 5 - 10 minutes. Temperature of water for foot baths at first should be 30 , but gradually the need to reduce it to 15 - 16 . For hardening the body should also rinse your mouth and nose, wash with cold water every morning.
And if you caught a cold or flu, are being treated in good faith. And once again remind: chronic fatigue syndrome, you will not get if you take it a rule to spend every day at least 1 - 1,5 hours in the fresh air. Try to get out every weekend in the woods on the nature or at least in the nearest park. And of course, do not forget about vitamins and minerals. Particularly needed to strengthen the immune and nervous systems of vitamins C, E, B group, as antioxidants A, E "alive" and in the form of pharmaceutical preparations and minerals of potassium, calcium , magnesium, iodine, phosphorus and selenium.
