Dear Duane,
you mention virus as the possibility in your question 1 and 2. But 
why don't you consider the fact that a majority of people these days 
have metals inserted into their bodies. For instance amalgam 
fillings. It has been shown that amalgam leaks several times more 
mercury when the person is in an electromagnetic field - like sitting 
in front of the computer. Mercury has symptoms like both Chronic 
Fatigue Syndrome and like Lyme's disease (I say "like" because Lyme's 
disease is a definite, but I suspect that people with those symptoms 
not uncommonly get told that "they must have had a tickbite from an 
infested area" with no other basis for diagnosis) and heart rhythm 
problems.

You thus have the action of a well recognised toxic mineral which is 
enough to explain a lot without introducing unknown viruses. Mercury 
affects the nerves directly, and it also in the chronic 
amalgam-poisoning cases cause a general unbalance in the 
bodychemistry, also contributing to odd effects on muscles (and then 
the heart of course).

If there are metals in the body you would also get an increase of the 
electric currents if you have metals in various parts of the body - 
which would no doubt affect the heart.

Perhaps the trouble abut these explanations as contributing causes 
are too "everyday" to be acceptable?

wishing you all the best,
Ingrid High
