Martin Lerner MD proposed that the reason why patients could have negative blood tests for virus yet still be infected was because the virus(es) that infected them became abortive and therefore unable to reproduce. What could cause this change?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0008ps8 From today's show. At 1:10:00 onwards there is a discussion on glandular fever that soon touches on M.E. The discussion is actually quite good - the expert (Dr Sarah Jarvis) describes the risk of glandular fever developing into M.E. and describes M.E...

There are at least eight herpes virus variants that infect humans. These include: Human herpes virus 1 (HHV1) is also known as herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1). Human herpes virus 2 (HHV2) is also called herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV2). Human herpes virus 3 (HHV3) is also called varicella-zoster...

Another look to see if the immune antibody signature to Human Herpes virus's in patients is different to controls. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fimmu.2019.01946/full

Greetings! My first post, of what may be many. Please see the attached photo of a full EBV screening by Synlab. Unfortunately they only do this in Italy, and I cannot get the test at Synlab UK. Can anyone translate this please? Is it possible to request such tests from the local GP? Does...

Copied from the New Zealand thread This is the paper she is referring to: The pathway from glandular fever to chronic fatigue syndrome: can the cognitive behavioural model provide the map? I think the paper is worth a discussion because it is one of the few papers that actually tried to test...
