Whittemore Peterson Institute Releases Official Statement on UK Study

The Whittemore Peterson Institute has released an official statement regarding the recent UK XMRV study.  The position of the institute is that it basically discredits the validity of the study in whole, stating it does not even qualify as a replication study.  The Whittemore Peterson Institute states that they are actively collaborating with other research groups around the world, and as well Judy Mikovits stated in a New Zealand Herald article that blood their group tested from the UK showed very similar percentages of XMRV infection in London patients as in their published study!  Much like when Robert Gallo and Luc Montaigner discovered the HIV virus, other groups initially disputed their findings because they did not use the exact same methodology in their replication studies!

A New Era of Hope

This week's publication in the journal Science literally blew me away! Not in the sense that it's just another virus, but in the sense that the findings about XMRV show an eerie resemblance to those made by Dr. Robert Gallo, and Luc Montaignier in 1984. Though the results are still very preliminary, there seems to be an arrow pointing at Chronic Fatigue syndrome, and an even bigger arrow pointing back at XMRV. I think this time we've got our fugitive, and in time he will be found responsible for more than Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. He's already a suspect in Autism.
