Repeat, repeat, repeat. Blah, blah, blah,,,

If I were to hazard a guess, this is another paper citation that Jillian deleted from June 28, 2019.  Scrolling,,, yup!!
 (Original with my response)

What she posted, now yesterday 10/23,

Let's see if I can dig something different from the abstract without repeating myself.  I'm gonna be repeating myself,,,lol.

1] the association of some viral infections with peculiar clinical events in the general population.

2]  look for this kind of viral imprinting in SLE, hypothesizing that traces of specific features of some viral infections might be found in some subsets of seropositive SLE patients.

3]  CMV seropositivity (having blood serum that tests positive for CMV) was a highly significant risk factor for Raynaud's phenomenon, but not for venous vascular events.

4]  our results support the hypothesis that viral infection may imprint the course of SLE leading to specific clinical subsets (i.e. CMV and 'vascular' SLE, with more frequent Raynaud's phenomenon and a less frequent typical histological renal picture responsible for nephrotic syndrome). 

5]  Further prospective studies are justified to validate these correlations, mainly dealing with associations between acute viral infections and vascular events, thus eventually leading to a better understanding of mutual relationships between viruses and SLE.

So as I also noted back in June, there is a correlation between CMV and Raynaud'.  As the abstract states, "[f]urther prospective studies are justified to validate these correlations."  There is no causative statement.

Bear in mind Jillian waffles back and forth as to whether viruses are a good thing or bad.  One minute she is stating,

 the next.  This is 6 days apart!!
 Two months later in August, she's attempting to have it both ways.
So the point of these posts are lost if she is implying that viruses cause all manner of ill.  Other than fear-mongering to vulnerable and impressionable people, I dont see the point beyond drink JJ and buy my book.
