Natasa,

I think that sounds like a great possiblity, I was disappointed to hear that

they only found a 40% occurence in children with autism...Maybe that is an

alternate explanation because I think this is THE virus behind immune

dysfunction. Or at least I hope this is it...

Then again, they tested such a small sample of children with ASD, maybe its not

an accurate representation of the population, or some of these children are in

remission from XMRV?

,

What is interesting is that this or a similar retro virus may be the problem.

Getting the dollars to investigate how viruses effect the immune system and what

other possible viruses may be the root cause of Autism is the message that needs

to get out. It may be XMRV but a more effective and broad range antiviral that

addresses how all of the potential neuro immune  related retroviruses reproduce

or replicate may be developed.

I hope Natassa does not mind me answering this but I sent a question myself to:

 

editor@...

 

with Dr. Mitkovits question in the subject line. I made plans to watch her

webinar (is that what we call it?) on Friday. I just asked a general question

regarding the paper on autism - XMRV paper and if it was still being peer

reviewed.

 

All the best,

 

Jill
