Thanks for posting this.
I am increasingly convinced that my own CFS, which has disabled me for 10 years, is caused by XMRV “rotting” my brain.
I am expecting major confirmation of XMRV in the national blood supply in the next few months and also replication of earlier studies linking XMRV to prostate and breast cancer as well as CFS and I will post the news if that occurs.
In support of my expectations see:
