I've read about the UK reports on XMRV....
If I remember correctly, WPI never claimed their research result to be the sole cause of ME/CFS....there're lots more work to be done, and we should all keep an open mind and wait for the final verdict on this virus....
There're so many other viruses could be the co-factor in ME/CFS, don't ya all think?
Happy belated New Year to all.
Here is a link to Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum's reaction to the XMRV study's conflicting findings. I think he has some good points and gives a lot a background about the politics behind what's going on.

Hi im Billy, I completely understand what you mean about finding it difficult getting people to believe you, I have FMS and get frustrated at times because people just don't understand what its like and that's the people that believe your not just nuts!!!
I'm in the UK and wish research and Drs where as advanced as America!! Even if the UK and America shared their findings and work on things together instead of trying to get one up on each other we would be years ahead of what we are justnow?!?
It is a shame that we finally are getting somewhere with possible causes for CFS and then this. I guess a wait and see approach is best. I am finding it so difficult for people to understand that CFS is real, and not some hypochondriac depression!!
