Biobank for M.E. Appeal
Hello
Want to help set up UK’s first biobank for M.E. research?
Lets move forward with ME in 2011.
Have a great Christmas, enjoy the snow, and I hope you have a better year next year.

ME Manifesto, and help us find a cure for ME.
Hello
Last time I posted, Afme, had launched their ME manifesto for the next general election, and a very good one it is too, please click here for more details.
They have also released a new video, I was going to do a video to encourage folks to to watch it, but I simply have not been well enough, so am typing it instead.
Please watch the video, and pass it onto as many people as you can, thanks.
Everyclick and ME Research.
Secondly, how would you like to raise money for ME Research, just by doing what you do anyway?
Invest In ME, are using Every Click, to raise money, that will go to finding a cure for our living death, all you need to do, is save the link to your favourites, or have it as your start up page, when going onto a browser, you don't have to sign up to the site, but if you do, it shows you, how much you are giving to ME Research, they provide a search engine, use that instead of the normal search engine that you use, then every time, you do a search on the net, they are given money, one search on the net, gives them £0.02, if we all do this, alot of £0.02's go a long way, may sound like small amount, but say, a million people use this tool, that's lots of money, to find a cure, and make us better, please pass this information onto everyone you know, the more people that do it the better. It is powered by Yahoo search, here is the url.
Thanks, until next time.

Hope With ME WFunding Biomedical Research into MEith Biomedical Research into ME
Hello
I would like to wish you all, a very Merry Christmas, and better health for next year.
I look forward to giving you more news in 2010.
After posting this, the following came in, and is worth including in this post:
Funding Biomedical Research into ME
Two charities are joining forces to fund research into ME/CFS.
ME Solutions and Invest in ME are working together to maximise the opportunities to fund research into ME/CFS. The research project is -
The role of XMRV in modulation of NK cell cytotoxicity and NK cell gene abnormalities in ME/CFS patients and normal blood donors
The project will be carried out by Dr Jonathan Kerr and his team from St. George's University, London, and Dr Amolak Bansal of the Department of Immunology, Epsom & St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust.
Background to the project
A newly discovered γ-retrovirus, Xenotropic Murine Leukaemia Virus - like virus (XMRV) has recently been found to be present in the blood of 68 of 101 (67%) ME/CFS patients as compared with 8 of 218 (3.7%) normal healthy controls (Lombardi et al, 2009). XMRV has been cultured from T, B and NK cells, but primarily targets NK cells. NK cell dysfunction has previously been found to be abnormal in ME/CFS, despite their numbers often being largely unaffected.
Defects in the innate immune system are thought to play a key role in the pathogenesis of ME/CFS and these abnormalities may leave individuals susceptible to XMRV infection. This study will relate the presence of XMRV in NK cells with ME/CFS-associated abnormalities previously demonstrated in NK cells and ME/CFS-associated gene abnormalities.
Plan of Investigation
A sample of clinically-diagnosed (according to the Fukuda and Canadian criteria) ME/CFS patients and age-and-sex matched normal controls will be recruited. XMRV status will be determined and NK cells obtained and tested for ME/CFS-associated gene abnormalities in NK cells. XMRV status will be related to ME/CFS gene expression changes.
Donations
ME Solutions and Invest in ME welcome sponsorship and donations for this two year project which we hope will begin as soon as possible.
The links below will allow online donations to be made.

Just giving.
