					 '&quot;XMRV was first discovered in ME/CFS patients October 2009&quot;',

'&quot;XMRV is found in two major diseases: prostate cancer and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis /Chronic Fatigue Syndrome&quot;',
'&quot;XMRV(xenotropic murine leukaemia virus-related virus)  is a human retrovirus and is similar to HIV and HTLV-1&quot;',
'&quot;XMRV virus is contagious and can be transmitted through blood. It is thought to be transmittable through other bodily fluids such as semen and breast milk &quot;',
'&quot;Scientists from The Whittemore Peterson Institute, The Cleveland Clinic and The National Cancer Institute were the first to discover XMRV in the blood of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) patients.&quot;',
'&quot;XMRV is also found in fibromyalgia and atypical MS patients&quot;',
'&quot;No one has definitely said that XMRV is the cause of anything.&quot;',
'&quot;XMRV stands for xenotropic murine retrovirus. It is an RNA virus that is able to change the DNA within a cell and insert itself within the human genome. The xmrv virus then replicates as part of the DNA of the host cell. Once the  genetic material of the virus is incorporated into the host cell, further generations of the cell will also contain this viral DNA.&quot;',

'&quot;The cytokine profiles of ME patients support the theory of retroviral infection. RNase-L is very active in ME patients and this may be seen in people that are fighting an RNA based virus (whch is what XMRV and other retroviruses are). &quot;',
'&quot;This virus is a human, not mouse virus, and it is the first and so far only gamma-retrovirus known to infect people. Also, it is clearly not an &quot;endogenous&quot; retrovirus (one that is present in all genomes due to ancient infection).&quot;',
																																													
'&quot;Most of the biology of XMRV is still unknown including the knowledge of exactly how this virus is transmitted between humans. Just like HIV, it may not cause the same symptoms in all who are infected. Co-infections and immune reactions to the virus may create different outcomes in those who are infected. &quot;',
'&quot;There  are three published drugs that work against XMRV.&quot;',
'&quot;Over 300 news articles around the world (in 24 hours) including the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal; even countries such as Iran (who we are told time and time again are suppressed) carried the PNAS story in the Tehran Times... and the UK only saw fit to publish the information in one paper on-line. Not one paper carried this story to print.&quot;',
'&quot;The new name proposed for what we are currently calling XMRV is Human Gamma Retrovirus (HGRV), and for the consequential symptoms and disease pathology, Human Gamma Retrovirus Associated Disease (HDRAD)&quot;',
'&quot; XMRV belongs to the same broad family as HIV but is more closely related to a group of viruses that cause cancer, such as leukaemia, &quot;',
'&quot; XMRV has potentially serious health implications not only for patients but for those caring for them&quot;',
'&quot; The research figures suggest that perhaps 10 million people in the USA and hundreds of millions worldwide could be infected with a virus for which the pathogenic potential for humans is still unknown. &quot;',
'&quot; XMRV has potentially serious health implications not only for patients but for those caring for them&quot;'
