Century Pacific Financial Corp. Announces Position on Medical Breakthrough

September 22 - PRNewswire-FirstCall - ...Cryptic Afflictions, LLC has extensive U.S. and international patents pending and owns the intellectual property rights to a major and, heretofore, unrecognized human neuropathogen, an RNA virus designated-Cryptovirus. Substantial clinical and molecular evidence indicates that this virus is involved in the development of major neurological disorders including Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Idiopathic Epilepsy (IE); epilepsy of unknown cause.

This evidence includes (1) the presence of Cryptovirus-specific antibodies in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid of patients suffering from these disorders, (2) the ability of the virus to cause virtually identical disease in experimentally-infected animals, and (3) nucleotide sequence data that indicates that the virus is pandemic and represents a single virus "species"-more akin to measles virus than hypervariable viruses like HIV.

"Further clinical validation studies using Cryptovirus-specific RT-PCR assays have been initiated to confirm the presence of the virus within central nervous system lesions of patients diagnosed with such disorders," stated Dr. Robbins.

In humans, PIV5 has been linked to both multiple sclerosis and
chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS),
although direct causative associations are poorly understood

Don't know how much of this info was previously published
http://www.ncf-net.org/PressReleases.htm

According to the company, "This previously undetected virus appears to be of significant importance to researchers looking for a cure to Multiple Sclerosis and many other neurological illnesses. Antibodies to the newly discovered virus were found in the cerebrospinal fluid and blood of over 90% of the patients tested with Multiple Sclerosis. It is believed that this newly discovered virus may prove to be responsible for a host of neurological disorders.

and what were the levels in healthy controls????

Dr. Robbins' evidence includes the presence of virus-specific antibodies in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid of patients suffering from these disorders, the ability of the virus to cause virtually identical disease in experimentally-infected animals, and nucleotide sequence data that indicates that the virus is pandemic and represents a single virus species much like measles.

PS: when they say "newly discovered virus" we are talking back in may 2006

Bob

i wouldn't be so quick on that one. I also read the other thread when deciding where to post this info. That other thread lost its course when someone got taken away with computer viruses and never really came back on track. I couldn't see any reference or proof that "Cryptovirus" was a hoax or scam

These guys still appear active today, at least enough to fill out a form to ammend their patent.
