Dr. Jose Montoya gave a talk on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome at Stanford on 3-3-11. It is a very good talk and worth watching. I'm so glad he is working hard to figure out this puzzle. While he did not mention Lyme or other tick born pathogens in his talk, I know he looks for them in his patients.

Here's his talk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Riybtt6SChU&feature=player_embedded

Here's his website with the info on tick borne pathogens: http://chronicfatigue.stanford.edu/infections/tick-borne.html

Hey Timaca,

Long time no see.

Thanks for sharing this. Will read the site and hope my server has enough power to watch the video (usually not but I do try).

I question lyme, XMRV, and other tests because of the documention of fraud and corruption in the medical field. Even the FDA is involved with financial interests with drug companies. Find out who is doing the study and do they have any outside interests.
Who is funding the research?
The drug companies have billions of dollars at risk if the XMR virus is found to be the cause of CFS, chronic lyme disease,and some others.
They have the power and money to block any progress.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that some companies pay for overseas researchers to do research that refutes other studies; This is only an effort to create years and years of additional research allowing them to sell their drugs or services.
I believe it's not only possible it's probable.

I think the Patent process should be eliminated
This would force all companies to work for a FREE enterprise system which we don't have now.

Al~ If you watch Dr. Montoya's talk you will learn that the research he is doing is funded by private donations and that he has no financial or other ties to drug companies or laboratories. He is dedicated to find the correct answers to our problems. He is a kind, caring and very smart doctor.

Timaca,
Thank you for posting this link. I watched it, and I could be the woman he first talks about. I've asked my busy husband to watch it, and he will, a bit at a time.

I think it's very informative, and hopeful, which we really need. I feel that if I got Lyme under control, I would still have CFS. Maybe I'll be surprised, but even my LLMD has told me I have viral issues.
