It's a wonderful thing, streaming radio online, worldwide. Yeah!
I missed the beginning of the show but caught nearly the entire last half-hour.
Dan Erwine of Nevada Newsline interviewed the WPI's VP, Mike Hillerby. He covered the basics we all know about association of XMRV with CFS, failure of other studies to replicate and why, and the goal being confirming causality, creating a reliable diagnostic test that labs everywhere can use and getting treatments available.
They talked about the upcoming opening of the research institute, and the eventual opening of a patient clinic for diagnosis and treatment. No projected date for that clinic opening as yet. Hillerby stressed often that this is a time of great hope no matter where you are. The WPI plans that its work should generate treatment info that is replicable and can be available to doctors everywhere. So the message remains, hang in there, help is on its way.
I don't know if I was confused, or he was, or this is something I just didn't know about but I think Hillerby said that there was an international symposium on XMRV coming up at WPI in a couple of weeks, with experts from around the world coming to Nevada. Maybe he meant the NIH workshop in Maryland? But Irwin followed that up with a question about how exciting that must be, to have people from all over the world coming to Nevada, so... ???
