Recent independent scientific research funded by the
National CFIDS Foundation, Inc. (NCF) of Needham, MA provided
preliminary confirmation of a new virus identified in patients with
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The Foundation’s medical research dovetails
with that completed to date by Cryptic Afflictions, LLC *, a private
company.
The NCF has conducted its own preliminary research
into the potential role of Cryptovirus and Parainfluenza Virus-5 in
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Professor Alan Cocchetto, Medical Director for
the Foundation stated, "Our own funded research first confirmed the lack
of a vital protein, known as Stat-1, in the blood of patients with
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Stat-1 plays an indispensable role in immunity.
