In case it might be relevant, I have to take massive amounts of calcium or my teeth would decay like crazy and I wouldn't be able to sleep.
Lots of other CFS patients have written about having dental problems. Hmmm.
So far I don't have osteoporosis, but it could be because of the huge amount of calcium I take. (around 2300 mg a day)

Dr judy wants bone marrow

Hi Folks:
I have bone & marrow biopsy tissue available in the deep freeze but can't, so far, find an XMRV researcher interested in looking at them. ~FernRhizome

Fern,

Dr Judy has said in an e-mail to us at xmrvweb.me.uk that she would like to test bone marrow. If you have an odd sample lying in your freezer, why don't you e-mail her with your offering.? She has found that a marrow sample tested positive. She is (if she is a good swimmer because all our planes are grounded) supposed to be coming over to Scotland in the next day or so, but will still be picking up e-mails.

Warmest regards,

C.G.
