HHV-6 is present in 90 percent of the adult American population as a
result of infection during the first few years of life, Jacobson noted. In
MS,
the virus, which has been dormant for years, is somehow reactivated, he
said.
In the new study, the investigators detected HHV-6 DNA — a marker of
active virus infection — in the blood of 15 of 50 MS patients. All 47
healthy
volunteers MS tested negative for the presence of active HHV-6 viral
infection.
Additional testing for the presence of HHV-6 virus in larger numbers
of
MS patients as well as those with other autoimmune disorders is under way.

Everyone,
Eventually,they'll get it right! "Other autoimmune disorders"refers to
Transverse Myelitis and numerous other syndromes. After HHV-6 is proven
responsible,the spinoff should be a preventative vaccine and a medication to
prevent any further damage to patients allready affected. Hopefully a myelin
regeneration breakthrough is near. That will be very important. Millions of
dollars just got poured into research to get the facts,the prevention,the cure
of autoimmune disorders and some other diseases. So,everyone keep the hope and
faith! I kinda enjoy overt and covert lobbying! I'll take it anyway I can get
it! Thank you Bob,for keeping us posted!
