Re: Dr. Singh's XMRV Patents: 25% of Breast Cancer patients have XMRV

This could be so important!

I just read about it today and immediately came to the list to see if

anyone had been discussing it.

I am terribly sorry that XMRV may be contributing to breast cancer... but I

do think that getting the ³pink ribbon² lobby, which from my observations

seems to be one of the stronger groups promoting awareness for any disease

(although I¹m not sure how well that translates into research $, especially

regarding prevention) behind this disease could bring it some much needed

attention. Breast cancer (from one source) affects one woman in 10 in the

developed world.

Our kids (and those with breast cancer) need all the help they can get.
