"Over 70 species of mice were tested by Coffin and none of them contained XMRV. This is clearly a new human retrovirus."

Justine Roache has asked me to post her statement here as she does not have access to the internet. She is a severe M.E. sufferer who was detained in a psychiatric ward on the Isle of Wight, UK, for four months, and who managed to return home on last week. She appears to have been subject to what Criona Wilson, mother of the late Sophie Mirza, calls 'Medieval Practices in the twenty first century':
Justine Roach – statement
(permission to repost)
“When I first came to Seven Acres my body felt light and normal. I could walk a little, sit up and help with my own care. After their so-called 'care plan' of graded activity I can no longer walk or even stand up. Sitting up in bed is difficult.
The total destruction of my body, due to the inappropriate regime forcing me to dramatically increase my activity levels, may be something I have to live with for the rest of my life. Because of the ignorance of the staff about my neurological illness I may never walk or even stand again – my body is lifeless and like a lead weight. I can no longer take my own weight. I have to use a commode as I cannot now walk to the toilet.
I was refused food in my room for the first few weeks, although unable to get to the table in another room to eat with the other patients. On the first day I actually had to crawl on my hands and knees to fetch food from the kitchen as staff had been instructed not to help me, and refused to telephone my mother to bring food in. For the next few weeks I was forced to survive on snack food brought in for me, as food was deliberately withheld from me because I was unable to get to the table. No-one believed my M.E. symptoms were real, although I have a long standing diagnosis they thought I was faking my neurological illness.
Although a voluntary patient, I was told that if I tried to leave I would be sectioned under the mental health act.
The treatment I received on the ward was inappropriate, ill-informed and downright cruel.”
“I am no longer a psychiatrist. I renounce it because I believe cruelty is at the core of the profession (and) I believe that there is something inherent in the profession that tends to bring out any cruelty lurking within. I have long wondered why this profession --- which ought to be so compassionate – has, it seems to me, turned its back on humanity”. - Dr John Diamond , a founding member of The Royal College of Psychiatrists.
