WASF3 disrupts mitochondria and may mediate exercise intolerance in CFS

I don't see any mention of Valtrex there. The point is, multiple studies have been done for antivirals in ME/CFS, and there is no difference in fatigue between arms.

EBV, HHV6 and HHV6 tend to reactivate during stress, but don't typically cause symptoms. I think what we're seeing in ME/CFS is this reactivation, but it's not necessarily what is causing the problem (if it was, antivirals would help, but they don't).

Great point, agreed, viral re-activation seems suspect on causality.

I was suggesting to crossreference Valtrex effectiveness against the activated virii in the study I linked. If Valtrex is not effective against the reactivated cohorts, we need more falsification around antivirals <-> ME/CFS.
