African Swine Fever Virus University. : So far, in this article, I have listed a total of 20 factors that ASFV and HHV-6A have in common. Ten are common areas of symptomology and 10 are particular characteristics of the virus. What is just as significant is the absence of clinical evidence that shows a difference between the two viruses. The only real test to settle the issue is for researchers to attempt to infect a pig with blood from an AIDS patients with Lymphadenopathy and see if it brings on African Swine Fever. If the real virus that causes AIDS came from pigs, then infecting them with the AIDS virus (HHV-6A) should cause them to develop ASFV. If it does, it will be case closed. Are there any researchers reading this article that are willing to do an in-vivo test on live swine? America's Biggest Cover-up A book came out late in Nov., 1993, titled America's Biggest Cover-up, by Neenyah Ostrom. It alleges that HHV-6 (A) may be the primary causative factor in both AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. There are two strains of HHV-6, variants A and B. HHV-6 (Variant B) is a common herpes virus and is not a life threatening infection. Ostrom, a prolific researcher and writer, has written articles for The New York Native on HHV-6 and other AIDS related topics for several years (1). Ostrom says the variant A strain of HHV-6 is the culprit in both CFS and in AIDS. Ostrom has interviewed most of the major researchers in the field, as well as countless patients and government officials. She has found many similarities between Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and AIDS and believes that they are part of the same epidemic. She argues that until their connection is admitted by top government researchers, there is little hope that real progress will be made in stopping these two expressions of the same syndrome. Ostrom also says in her book that HHV-6A is really the African Swine Fever virus (ASF). Ostrom reports that CFS patients have lost much of their B cell and natural killer (NK) cell protection and both groups are susceptible to night sweats and many forms of cancer, lymphomas and TB. The book is available at your local bookstore.
