A Major Breaking News from the NCF 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A message from Nancy Kaiser and the NCF

 

 

It is with great pleasure I can share the following information with you. We

have a major breakthrough. Please click on http://www.ncf-net.org/  

 

 

Once on the home page click on NCF Medical Discoveries and read what is

listed below -- just posted today on our website. It is a sad commentary on the

state of our government, medicine and research that we have been put through

such

HELL for so many years -- but now we have some answers and direction. 

 

 

After you read this information it is my hope following a few moments of deep

thought, we-- as PWCs, their family members and friends, physicians,

researchers and politicians -- act in unison to demand why and how Homeland

Security

is involved with this virus. Also I give a big round of appreciation to the

NCF.

 

NCF News Release about the Homeland Security Initiative announcement

regarding Parainfluenza Virus-5 (PIV-5) including a pdf file of the Homeland

Initiative website content. (9/20/07)

infections " by Ziegler describes the role of persistent mumps virus infections

in chronic neurological and/or mental disease (9/20/07)

NEWS RELEASE

 

National CFIDS Foundation Medical Committee ©2007

 

In an unexpected turn of events, the Homeland Security Initiative Office of

Military and Security Programs at Penn State has issued an important statement

about Parainfluenza Virus-5 (PIV-5).   In their release, researchers at Penn

State have identified a new strategy to control viral infection. According to

the information on the Homeland Security Initiative website, the field of

invention is Anti-viral Therapy, Homeland Security and Biodefense.

 

Quoting the website " Parainfluenza virus 5  (PIV5), formerly known as simian

virus 5 (SV5) is a prototypical member of the Rubulavirus genus of the family

Paramyxoviridae. The Penn State researchers have identified a host protein

that is critical to PIV5 replication. Furthermore, the Penn State researchers

have identified several lead compounds that block PIV5 replication at low

concentration without causing cytopathic effect (CPE). They have further

demonstrated

that these compounds inhibit the replication of other negative stranded RNA

viruses including but not limited to hRSV, MeV and VSV (the best compound can

inhibit at least 99.9% viral replication in tissue culture cells, i.e., about

1,000-fold reduction of viral replication). Further testing of these compounds

in tissue cultutre cells has demonstrated that they are effective against

replication of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV), a major bovine pathogen as

well

as a model system for human hepatitis C virus (HCV). "   According to the

website, this technology is available for licensing.

 

According to the NCF, this techology could change the nature of this disease

overnight if the right types of drugs or compounds are currently available. If

not, there may be drugs on the horizon that would greatly help patients fight

this infection. This discovery could be critically important to millions of

CFIDS/ME, Multiple Sclerosis and Epilepsy patients in accordance with previous

research findings. There is a great deal at stake here and the NCF hopes that

information regarding the host protein as well as identified compounds are

made openly available. We wonder however if this will truly be the case due to

the heading of Homeland Security? The NCF has taken the initiative to contact

the Homeland Security office for additional information. Furthermore, the NCF

had previously contacted the principal investigators involved here regarding the

CFIDS/ME connection to PIV-5 to discuss additional information as well as to

express our interest in funding future scientific research. 

 

[Ed. Note: This information can be found online at

http://homelandsecurity.psu.edu/discovery/licensing/viral_infection.html  and,

in case it " disappears "

from the Penn State website, it is available in the pdf file below. 

 

Penn State is one of the leading research universities in the U.S.  This

information was brought to our attention by a member of the NCF from Ireland who

contacted them for further information which was not given.  Members of our

board noted that when CFIDS/ME was first found in this country and identified as

Chronic Epstein-Barr Virus (CEBV), it was put under the Department of Defense

(DOD).  Although advocates questioned why, there was never a response. 

 

 

Finding an actual therapy has been discovered but not allowed to help the

millions suffering worldwide just leads to more conspiracy theories.  How many

on

our Memorial List have died needlessly too young after suffering for far too

long?  Do your Congressional Representatives know about this?  A Senate

investigation may be in order. While this was going on, the CDC Media Relations

issued a press release saying " People who suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome

(CFS) have a genetic make up that affects the body's ability to adapt to

change...CDC is promoting CFS awareness through a national media and education

campaign. " ]
