Here at the Health Matters Show, I have been telling you for some time about the situation concerning the scientific research reports linking the retrovirus XMRV and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) the illness. Today I’ve put together a great resource for you. Now, you won’t have to search long and hard to find the great information that you need. It will be here on the website at a page called Best XMRV CFS Links.
Now, I’m exactly like you… sitting here on the sidelines waiting anxiously for the best experts to decide something conclusively. We need the researchers to dispell all doubt about the validity or non-validity of the original WPI research study claim that there is an important link between XMRV and CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). I remain very hopeful that the WPI scientists will prevail, but I also sit on the fence in ambiguity and that’s making my backside sore! More than that, and all kidding aside, I simply want the “experts” to get on with it and prove positively one way of the other that XMRV and CFS either are or are not related and in what ways. (I don’t know whether to be more or less hopeful now that the government’s gotten in on it, but for now I’m choosing to think that this is a good thing.)

As I come across links that report on this worldwide pursuit of good scientific data, I plan to list them on the BEST XMRV CFS LINKS page, as stated.
You can do 2 things:
ONE, I encourage you to “favorite” the page. (You’ll need to go to it and click on your Favorites tab.) The most current links on the page will show up first and then the posts/links will go down the page from there. I plan to list lots of specific and indepth information about XMRV.
TWO, email me if you find a good link that I may not have seen. I may be interested and want to include it on this blog page. These links can be from your own website or some other source, if they are really topical.
What I won’t do… is put up a ton of negative data that doesn’t move the issue forward. I truly believe that the non-verifying research studies that have been conducted so far will end up being considered flawed data. If I’m wrong, that’s okay too, but that’s my hunch today.
I suspect various UK researchers are not doing the studies within the specified parameters set and recommended by the WPI (Whittemore Peterson Institute).
I will make every effort to keep this webpage as current as possible. All help appreciated.
Thank for visiting the Health Matters Show today.
I’m Cinda Crawford, your host
