Almost all of us carry the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) Some of us were introduced to it (and ME/CFS) during adolescence or later when we came down with infectious mononucleosis. Others have carried it in our bodies since childhood.
EBV is one of the few viruses our bodies just can’t get rid of. When it hangs around in its latent, unreactivated state it’s probably pretty harmless, but if it finds a way to evade the immune system and reactivate then watch out – active EBV infections been associated with many cancers as well as autoimmune diseases.
This European study brought something new to the long EBV saga in ME/CFS: it looked for both antibodies to EBV and direct evidence of the virus – and found both. Check out what the study found in this Simmaron Research Foundation sponsored blog.
Any Laent virus can cause CFS/ME including,bites and CNS infections.Drug toxicity,immune dysfunction,metabolic dysfunction can also cause.CFS/ME is a premature aging condition and all Herpes type viruses are causative,especially with old age.COVID-19 is a Latent virus.Any Latent virus activated by stress-induced inflammation will causes CFS/ME due to uncoupling of Nrf2/Keap1.It is a CNS condition which is highly evolutionary conserved to cause cell death/autophagy and low immune function to help prevent brain and other organ damage.Humans have “Plastic” brains which allows changes with environmental,diet,nutrition and atmospheric oxygen,especially in females as the Placenta is able to affect changes using Epigenetics,Chromosome Strand Breaks(SNP’s).This is the basis of 23&Me.The cell Mitochondria DNA/RNA, which are totally evolutionary conserved in females are the carriers of the genetic code for CFS/ME along with Epigenetic changes in the Placenta during Gestation.After birth,and wth aging,infections,drugs,and trauma cause dysfunction,inflammation which results in Post Translation(non-Genome) mrna changes resulting in new RNA.These are the permanent aging changes which come with premature aging from each chronic conditions-CFS/ME being one,also Diabetes,Heart Failure,etc.All such conditions are immune dysregulation and result in Autoimmunity-Colitis,Rheumatoid Arthritis,Diabetes,Insulin Sensitiviity,Asthma,Kidney Failure.These premature aging conditions can result in Sepsis with a 70% death rate,Cancers,Alzheimer’s,Muscular Dystrophy which are marked by blood coagulation.clots.Unfortunately,standard blood tests do not detect or warn of these high morbidity conditions. This situation has been brought “home to roost” with COVID-19 and it’s publicity showing that our medical system I snot prepared to properly diagnose and treat the effects of viruses,especially when the virus has 2 stages,the “trigger” stage(Pneumonia with COVID-19) and in severe cases the high morbidity stage which is a Hematological blood disorder called Deep Vein Thrombosis,DVT,which affects all organs as the blood(especially Peripheral Blood) is coagulated with clots which block blood and oxygen flow to all organs causing damage due to Ischemia-Reperfusion.Patients who survive and are discharged are permanently affected,and at risk for Cancers,Heart Failure,etc.,along with re-activation of the COVID-19 virus as the Capsid remains Latent inside certain cells.Unfortunately,those already infected are unlikely to be helped with current Vaccines under development as a new Vaccine will be needed for Stage 2 which has nothing to do with “spikes” as they were merely the trigger for Stage 2,which has yet to be identified and agree upon.

The explanation is multiple virus infection. Each chronic ME virus (HHV6, varicella, EBV, enterovirus) causes blocks in apoptosis pathways that leave cells immortalized and prone to cancer with increased inflammation. This chronically inflammed tissue increases the viral spread because it allows viruses to infect tissue they normally can’t reach. However, the viruses block each others reproduction so the tissue spread is eventually limited to the musculoskeletal tissue and periosteum, but at a larger amount. Blood nagalase also increases, leaving one prone to infections. The nagalase increase is aggravated by acute infections by other viruses which often occurs early in ME.

Yes, hang on – it goes to the Simmaron website is being worked on. It will be up at some point.
