Ugh. Sounds like just the kind of doctor you don't want in the first place. My wife has ME/CFS and has tested positive (by antibody) for XMRV. Our doctor admitted up-front that he knows little to nothing about it. (It currently gets a minor mention in med schools, nothing more.) She provided him with studies and email addresses of clinicians and researchers working on it. He was genuinely appreciative and has been doing as much as he can within the limits of what the insurance allows to implement the suggestions made by those researchers and clinicians he has since contacted.
Hopefully you can find a doctor who is more open to actually taking care of patients rather than showing off how much "smarter" he or she is than anyone else.
