AAAS article on most recent XMRV study

 In their publication “Science Now.”  Hedging their bets?

Linda’s comment: So as I see it, it is just another pathogen that chronically ill people need to deal with….Is it really a virus, parasite, bacterial?????  Don’t feed it, get on the FIGHT program and stop it in its track. All of these critters like the spirochete love feeding off GMO, toxic chemical sweeteners, heavy metals, etc., etc., etc.,  This gives them their energies/food supply to wreak havoc on our bodies.  Healthy people have an advantage over chronic illness.  The FIGHT program is one of the best prevention programs I have ever experienced.

Listen up as the XMRV is just one of many new things that are attacking our bodies.  Scientists are having a difficult time keeping up with all the new tragedies attacking our bodies because of our toxic environments.

Excerpt:

A theory linking chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) to an infectious mouse virus known as XMRV has taken a second major hit. First proposed last October in Science, the virus-CFS connection was quickly challenged by a British group. Now a second team of British virologists reports that, after examining tissue from 170 CFS patients, they have failed to find evidence of XMRV.

Patients with CFS often report that their condition–a mix of symptoms including unexplained pains and excessive fatigue–began after an otherwise normal viral infection. And scientists in the past have preliminarily linked CFS to a few viruses. However, those links have fallen apart under scrutiny, and without a firm biological cause for CFS, victims continue to face skepticism that their condition is a “real” disease.

Here is a flaming warning of the change from
  Aspartame to  AminoSweet by Ajinomoto

We ask all lists to please use this warning for your web sites on
aspartame or your own so Ajinomoto
won’t get away with using this alias and stumbling the people.  They
are trying to get away from  the publicity on the methanol issue,
this severe metabolic poison, and history of aspartame and how
Rumsfeld got it on the market.
http://www.soundandfury.tv/pages/rumsfeld2.html    Prop 65 says no
product can come into California with methanol or formaldehyde
without a cancer warning.  UK Awareness Campaign has a complaint
against Food Standards on the methanol issue.

Here is the Trocho Study showing the formaldehyde converted from the
free methyl alcohol embalms living tissue and damages
DNA.  http://www.mpwhi.com/formaldehyde_from_aspartame.pdf

Here is the flaming warning for web
sites:  http://www.mpwhi.com/aminosweet_equals_aspartame.htm

If you go to www.mpwhi.com you will see this as used on a web
site.  You can also use your own warning but be sure people know of
the new alias.  The rap sheet is the same.

Lead in teeth and bones increases with calcium loss from menopause. Bone lead correlates to hair lead levels. This research showing that with menopause associated calcium loss from bones, we also suffer calcium loss from teeth and that loss gets replaced by lead.

Excerpt:

Abstract  The concentration of trace elements has been measured for dental enamel from 86 healthy human teeth using particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE). The majority of the teeth (n = 70) were collected from dentists in the county of Oxfordshire in the United Kingdom, although a smaller group (n = 16) were collected from Cornwall. The elements K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Sr, Pb, and Hg have been detected and statistically analyzed by grouping according to sex, age, and geographical location. The concentrations of Fe and Cu were found to be lower in the teeth from female donors (P < 5%) and are believed to result from the continued burden of blood loss during menstruation. Strong positive correlations (P < 0.1%) were found between Ca, Co, Ni, and Zn for all groups; these elements were also found to exhibit a negative correlation (P < 1%) with age for teeth from female donors. This is believed to be related to decalcification during the menopause. Pb was found to exhibit a positive correlation (P < 5%) with age for both sexes, and is believed to substitute for Ca in the Ca hydroxy apatite (HAP) within the dental enamel.

Is lead more important that cholesterol levels? This research shows that higher bone lead leads to a six-fold increase in heart attacks.

FDA suspends Glaxo rotavirus vaccine as precaution – washingtonpost.com
WASHINGTON — U.S. health officials told pediatricians Monday to temporarily quit using one of two vaccines against a leading cause of diarrhea in babies, after discovering that doses of GlaxoSmithKline’s Rotarix were contaminated with bits of an apparently benign pig virus

Excerpt:

 Purpose of review: Autism is a biologically based disorder of brain development. Genetic factors – mutations, deletions, and copy number variants – are clearly implicated in causation of autism. However, they account for only a small fraction of cases, and do not easily explain key clinical and epidemiological features. This suggests that early environmental exposures also contribute. This review explores this hypothesis.
Recent findings: Indirect evidence for an environmental contribution to autism comes from studies demonstrating the sensitivity of the developing brain to external exposures such as lead, ethyl alcohol and methyl mercury. But the most powerful proof-of-concept evidence derives from studies specifically linking autism to exposures in early pregnancy – thalidomide, misoprostol, and valproic acid; maternal rubella infection; and the organophosphate insecticide, chlorpyrifos. There is no credible evidence that vaccines cause autism.

Actor Ben Stiller is anxiously waiting to hear if he has contracted Lyme disease after badly injuring his knee during a recent trip to Mozambique.

The Meet the Parents star traveled to the African country last month as part of his charity work but he was left limping after falling into a muddy ditch while walking through a village.

His left knee became inflamed and he visited a number of doctors to diagnose the problem, but almost a month later, medics have yet to determine the cause of his ailment, despite running numerous tests.
