The idea is to replicate the WPI XMRV testing. http://www.solvecfs.org/Home/tabid/97/Default.aspx Hi Johan,

I am going to have my blood drawn as part of the CFIDS BioBank study. The idea is to replicate the WPI XMRV testing.

You will have to wait a bit, but I will let you know when they are published. There is no XAND, at least not yet. Even the findings of WPI haven't been confirmed yet, quite to the contrary, but I do know the arguments against those studies. Given the possible implications of XMRV on individual's and on public health it deserves a lot more attention than it currently receives by government, universities, scientists, bloodbanks, media, ... No need to panic, but we need answers and fast. I hope the ongoing studies will provide at least some of the answers.
