XMRV positive by stomach biopsy

[serg1942]

Hi all,

Just wanted to share with you that I have been also found XMRV positive in a stomach sample, by PCR, by Redlabs in Brussels.

I was previously found XMRV + by culture by VIPdx, while the serology test came out negative.

So yes, I am XMRV ++

Best,
Sergio

Was XMRV the only virus that your stomach biopsy was tested for?

Muchos gracias for letting all of us know Serg.

Hi August59,

No, actually I was looked for XMRV, MLVs, and a bunch of other viruses. I was found "just" XMRV and HHV-6. Interestingly the HHV-6 test is developed enough to give a quantitative result, and it is outrageously high!! However, the serology test for HHV-6 in blood was normal.

Conclusion: my Lymphocytes B are not making enough antibodies to be caught by the blood test (XMRV in theory could cause Lymphocytes B anergy...).

Hola Joey, de nada!

Saluditos,
Sergio

Hi Sergio

That's very interesting. Susan told me about that test a month or so ago. Also the HHV-6. That might fit in with what Montoya and Lerner think about herpes virus infections.

Hi Sergio,

This is very interesting.

Can any G.I. take the biopsy ?nd send the sample out to Redlabs?

Thanks,
Nielk

How did they test for it? And was it integrated?

holy chit. a biopsy! i always thought HHV6 was a bigger player than EBV....i wish i could get my hands on some cidofovir

Very interesting news.. thanks for sharing

Thanks Sergio - we may never get tested here but we know what "bugs" are being found.

 

[eric_s]

Sure you will get tested, Enid. It just takes some more confirmation, but if that happens, they will have no other choice than to come to reason...

Sergio
interesting stuff.. so no enterovirus?

 

[XAND]

yes, I was also wondering, did DMeirleir checked for the famous enterovirus as well?

Thanks eric - your post 11 - as you know UKers have to go anywhere else but the UK for pathogen diagnosis and treatments (that's providing one escapes the Psyches). Much looking forward to the "no other choice" time - not too far away now.

Sergio'

If you don't mind me asking, who did your biopsy? Was it a local GI doc?

This is the type of information that I hope gets noticed by the research community. Thanks for sharing!

Hi August,

I'm obviously not Sergio--he is asleep in Spain!--but I witnessed his biopsy so can answer. Dr. Kenny De Meirleir prescribed it, the prescription was carried out by a gastro-enterologist in a hospital in Spain (they did an endoscopy and took about 6 samples of stomach tissue), these were frozen with dry ice and FedExed to RedLabs in Belgium where the tissue was analyzed.

Thanks Sushi,

Do you know id Dr. KDM has prescribed this type biopsy for others? Or, better yet, have you heard of other results from a similiar test?

 

[eric_s]

What might be interesting to know... did they ever test your blood for HHV-6 in any other way than by looking for antibodies, like by PCR, for example? What sort was this new HHV-6 test? PCR?
