But here again, due to lack of funding in this area, there is not much to go on. It is apparent that herpes viruses can interact with one another, one reactivating another. But don't jump to conclusions here either because there is a lot going on in the body's internal environment that requires careful study before we understand how any combination of viruses may attack key cells. Typically, anything that is new gets shunned. I also expect some congressional activity in this area sometime this year.
Medicine crawls like a bug.
To this day, HHV-6 has been shunned because many scientists just don't bother to read the medical literature. Konnie Knox and Don Carrigan have published their work in numerous major journals including the New England Journal of Medicine. Ditto for MS researchers. The first red flag came from Bob Gallo at the National Cancer Institute. Next, Carrigan and Knox showed how powerfully HHV-6 could reactivate in bone marrow transplant patients.
