New Research on Viral Cause & Successful Treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

"This study provides compelling evidence for the role of herpesviruses in chronic fatigue syndrome and also for treatment with anti-viral medications that target herpesviruses. Many doctors don't test for EBV, HHV6 and CMV, so you may want to alert your doctor to these findings."

Epstein Barr: Interesting Interactions With Inflammatory Mediators Implicated in Environmental Illness

Summary: This nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB may promote viral latency by negatively regulating BZLF1 transcriptional activity. In situations where p65 activity is limiting in comparison to BZLF1, the ability of BZLF1 to inhibit p65 transcriptional function may protect the virus from the host immune system during the lytic form of infection.
