Taking on the negative studies

The negative studies - they've sufficed at discrediting good research over the last year - several researchers are finding it difficult to get their XMRV studies published.  Rather it seems who you are matters - the CDC, the Wessley group in Britain.  The time has come to put politics aside, and put the issue to rest for good.  There is a rule in science that in order for a confirmation study to be valid, it means copy exactly!!!

In order to do that, it would mean taking a modest amount of samples, using different methods in the same laboratory.  So if we have replica A using the method described by Mikovits et. al, B using the CDC method, C using the Wessely study, and only the first method shows positivity, then contamination can be ruled out.

I've returned

After a long hiatus, I'm back.  The last year has been rather uneventful for me - I've had opportunities to pursue research, but unfortunately with the turn of events, I found that I could not undertake research that was against my beliefs.  Science is fraught with politics, and they say the best scientists are those that are independent thinkers - Albert Einstein's theory of relativity was laughed at at first...  Same situation is happening with Judy Mikovits.  But meanwhile, I've taken on consulting work for a couple of biotech companies on contract.  But I am as passionate as ever about CFS and XMRV.
