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.
