Another retrovirus, HIAP-II (for those who like chasing retroviruses)

[Guest guest]

Idiopathic CD4+ T-lymphocytopenia, or ICL, is an immunodeficiency syndrome in

which human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, cannot be detected. Because HIV is

the causative agent of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), ICL can be

referred to as Non-HIV AIDS. As in AIDS patients, Non-HIV AIDS patients exhibit

reduced numbers of CD4+ T-lymphocytes, and many Non-HIV AIDS patients have

developed the opportunistic infections or otherwise rare cancers associated with

AIDS.

Non-HIV AIDS patients may comprise perhaps one percent of all AIDS patients.

While the majority of Non-HIV AIDS patients do not belong to any of the risk

groups such as blood transfusion recipients, male homosexuals, and intravenous

drug abusers in which AIDS was first identified, some Non-HIV AIDS patients do

belong to these groups. This suggests that Non-HIV AIDS may also be

transmissible.

Research conducted at Tulane University Medical Center suggests that Non-HIV

AIDS is associated with a retroviral particle called Human Intracisternal A-Type

Particle-Type II, or HIAP-II. Antibodies to this particle have been found in a

high percentage of patients with Non-HIV AIDS. Tulane has patented HIAP-II, and

Autoimmune Technologies is licensing HIAP-II technology in order to develop

screening and diagnostic tests and therapies for Non-HIV AIDS and to study the

possibility of generating vaccines against Non-HIV AIDS, autoimmune disease, and

AIDS.

Page.

Thanks for posting this. I can't wait for HIAP-II testing to become

commercially available. I know it is a long shot, but it would be really

nice to have a test showing why I'm always tired and my immune system is

crap.

Personally, I would be thrilled if research linked ME/CFIDS to HIAP-II. It's as

good a fit as any other theory. It would be a fortunate discovery. Just think

of all the millions of dollars spent in the last decade into AIDS/HIV research

AND TREATMENT!!!

It would make up for the low funding for ME/CFIDS and we could potentially knock

years off a drug solution (perhaps not cure).

I have personally benefited from AID/HIV research in an indirect way. That whole

glutathione injection thing from 14-15 years ago started with AIDS patients.

That led to researchers looking upstream (like Rich Van K, Dr. Yasko and other

DAN! docs along with Cheney and all of the others) so that now we know more

about methylation.

And while XMRV seems to have been a bust, there is currently much research done

on different retroviruses which was based on AIDS research and technology.

I would appreciate being kept up-to-date with AIDS info as it may possibly apply

to us in some way so I don't think it's off-topic but that's just my opinion.

I would rather see posts on AIDS then on CBT/GET and other psychological topics.

Hi Marti,

Your ability and willingness to see this connection puts you in the Top 1% of

all CFS/ME researchers, IMHO.

Once you see that the parallels converge (in the form of ICL cases), then you

will see AIDS/ME were the same thing all along.

AIDS and CFIDS are just politically-defined syndromes.

ME is the one, and only, DISEASE.

Take care,

k

P.s. Steve: I would like to know the name of my nemesis too!
