Sepulveda, a theoretical immunologist, took one look at ME/CFS and knew he had to be involved.
All it took for Nuno Sepulveda, PhD to get hooked was to read a paper on autoimmunity and ME/CFS. Once this theoretical immunologist did that he was amazed that no one had really checked out the role that the regulatory T-cells – big players in autoimmunity – might be playing in the disease.
Sepulveda’s explorations lead to a new possibility: that people with ME/CFS are stuck in a weird energy wasting, inflammation and fatigue producing kind of immune limbo.
Find out why he thinks that, and what’s next for Sepulveda in the Simmaron Research Foundation sponsored blog:

THE ME/CFS and FM CORONAVIRUS VACCINATION SIDE EFFECTS POLL
Tell us how your coronavirus vaccination went and find out how other people with ME/CFS and/or FM fared with their coronavirus vaccination in Health Rising’s Coronavirus Vaccine Side Effects Poll.
it seems very complex but with people good at complex problems on the job
So a question for Sepulveda
if patient with Herpes causes one dynamic,
patient with Epstein Barr another dynamic,
has interplay when both present been modelled?

Does Unutmaz see patients? I live nearby Farmington,CT. Looking for specialists near me.
He’s a researcher so my guess is no. Good luck! Keep tuned to Health Rising for some possible future help with that.
And now the link to his post doesn’t work.
Yes, Simmmaron is working on their website. Sorry about that.
Very interesting! I guess my experience is not unusual but with the 24 yrs of ME/Cfs I have been plagued by almost all the Herpes viruses. ME/Cfs developed after Shingles, reactivated EBV and Herpes I & II have been chronically active (ie every week) over all these years. HHV6 I imagine is also in the mix. Look forward to more research in this area.
After 30 years I have discovered I feel so much better when I remove wheat, eggs and dairy from my diet.
Those viruses seem to thrive in my body when I don’t eat an extremely clean diet.
