The HHV-6 Site

Dedicated to ending HHV-6 denialism, this site provides background and news on the HHV-6 Spectrum Pandemic and Its Chromosomally Integratred HHV-6 (CIHHV-6) complications. Everything about this very destructive viral chameleon begs at least 12 important questions. Is HIV being blamed for what HHV-6 is doing? Is HHV-6 the real AIDS virus? Is HHV-6 the MS virus? Is HHV-6 the CFS virus? Is HHV-6 the autism virus? Is HHV-6 causing an epidemic of brain cancer? Is HHV-6 the ultimate stealth virus? Did HHV-6 come from pigs? Is it a human form of African Swine Fever Virus? Is HHV-6 causing an epidemic of HERV-K18 immune dysfunction? Does HHV-6 lead to secondary XMRV infections? Is HHV-6 the underlying cause of Morgellons Disease?

Is HHV-6 the Viral Cause Of Morgellons? Are sick pigs with serious skin lesions the reservoir of the Morgellons Virus? Is there a link between Morgellons and Porcine Dermatitis and Nephropathy Syndrome (PDNS)?

Morgellons may be part of the HHV-6 Spectrum of illnesses

Common Laboratory Abnormalities of Morgellons Patients

"Elevated cytokines: TNF-alpha, IL-6, TGF-beta; Elevated inflammation markers: C-reactive protein and TNF-alpha; Immunodeficiency markers: low CD 56 or CD 57 number, low C1Q, low IgG subclasses 1 and 3; Hematological abnormalities: low hemoglobin and hematocrit with abnormal RBC indices; and Biochemical abnormalities: elevated blood glucose, insulin, calcium, and serum Homocysteine, and low serum potassium and magnesium.The consistent finding of numerous unexpected biologic agents at atypically high levels (some thought to be non-pathogens, others definitely pathogenic) strongly supports that an immune deficiency state exists in Morgellons patients. Agents identified serologically include many zoonoses (intermittently and in low numbers) such as Borrelia (at least five species) and Babesia, a single recently found gram negative bacterium, most herpes viruses, some strongly activated such as VZV and HHV-6, several mycology species (esp. Tineas), and particularly in those we have labeled Morgellons patients, parasites (species will be elaborated following PCR sequencing." Source: http://www.morgellons.org/case_definition.htm

Is Morgellons related to Porcine Dermatitis and Nephropathy Syndrome (PDNS)

alt text "PDNS is characterized clinically by acute onset of skin lesions (raised purple skin lesions progressing to multifocal raised red scabs with black centers most prominent on the rear legs), fever, and lethargy and is almost always fatal. Macroscopically, there are enlarged tan waxy kidneys with white foci and streaks. Microscopically, there is systemic vasculitis with dermal and epidermal necrosis and necrotizing and fibrinous glomerulonephritis. The microscopic hallmark lesions of PDNS, generalized vasculitis and glomerulonephritis, are suggestive of a type III hypersensitivity reaction which is characterized by deposition of antigen-antibody aggregates or immune complexes at certain tissue sites."
