Retroviruses and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Elemental Health And Nutrition24 Jan, 2020Health

A retrovirus is a virus whose genes are encoded in RNA, and, using an enzyme called reverse transcriptase, replicates itself by first reverse-coding its genes into the DNA of the cells it infects.[2] Once it�s in the DNA, it�s there for good. Every time your DNA replicates so does the retrovirus. It has been estimated that approximately 8-15% of our genome is compromised of retroviruses, and some controversial data shows they are potentially oncogenic.
