ABOUT DR. DAVID S. BELL
David S. Bell, MD, FAAP, a Harvard graduate, with an MD degree from Boston University School of Medicine in 1971 has come out of retirement to lecture and research XMRV (xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus). He completed pediatric specialty and subspecialty training in Behavioral Disorders in Childhood and has been a Harvard Medical School instructor. Dr. Bell operated a family practice in Lyndonville, New York where he studied and diagnosed the outbreak of what was later named chronic fatigue syndrome. The U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services appointed Dr. Bell to Chair the CFSAC committee from 2003 - 2005. XMRV was first discovered in 2006 in prostate tumors by Robert Silverman, Ph.D. of the Lerner Research Institute at the Cleveland Clinic in 2006. XMRV has also been discovered in patients with CFS/ME, autism and atypical MS by Judy Mikovits, Ph.D and her collaborating scientists. The groundbreaking new discovery of XMRV and X associated neuro-immune disease (XAND) was published in Science Journal on October 8, 2009.

Public Lecture, December 6, 2009 in Batavia, NY on XMRV and ME/CFSBecause of the enormous interest generated, I will be giving a talk on the XMRV virus and what is known about its relationship to ME/CFS on Sunday, December 6, 2009. The talk will take place from 2 pm to 5 pm at the Holiday Inn of Batavia NY (8250 Park Road, Batavia, NY, 14020), right next to the NY State Thruway. The location was chosen because it was roughly equidistant from both Rochester and Buffalo, and the presence of rooms at a reasonable cost ($72 double, $92 suite) for those persons wishing to stay overnight. In this lecture, material will be presented from the Science paper, Dr. Dan Peterson's testimony at the CFS Advisory Committee meeting, and our hopes for a study to help confirm these findings. I will also share my opinions about treatment options that may open up in the future.
