Hi MetalMX,

Having just read your first posting in this thread and your comment "considering that thus far no single causative virus has been found in CFS patients" I was wondering if you had read any of the latest - albeit initial research which has been published on the discovery of the retrovirus MXRV which has been found in the plasma of 65% of CFS patients and antibodies to MXRV in 95% of CFS patients?

I know and I reiterate that many more studies need to be reproduced globally to confirm or refute these initial findings but it is an exciting possibility especially if a causal link can be found between this retrovirus and CFS and even FMS.
