“Kent
Heckenlively and Judy Mikovits are the new dynamic duo fighting
corruption in science.” —Ben Garrison, America’s #1 political satirist
Dr. Judy Mikovits is a modern-day Rosalind Franklin, a brilliant
researcher shaking up the old boys’ club of science with her
groundbreaking discoveries. And like many women who have trespassed into
the world of men, she uncovered decades-old secrets that many would
prefer to stay buried.
From her doctoral thesis, which changed
the treatment of HIV-AIDS, saving the lives of millions, including
basketball great Magic Johnson, to her spectacular discovery of a new
family of human retroviruses, and her latest research which points to a
new golden age of health, Dr. Mikovits has always been on the leading
edge of science.
With the brilliant wit one might expect if Erin
Brockovich had a doctorate in molecular biology, Dr. Mikovits has seen
the best and worst of science. When she was part of the research
community that turned HIV-AIDS from a fatal disease into a manageable
one, she saw science at its best. But when her investigations questioned
whether the use of animal tissue in medical research were unleashing
devastating plagues of chronic diseases, such as autism and chronic
fatigue syndrome, she saw science at its worst. If her suspicions are
correct, we are looking at a complete realignment of scientific
practices, including how we study and treat human disease.
Recounting her nearly four decades in science, including her
collaboration of more than thirty-five years with Dr. Frank Ruscetti,
one of the founders of the field of human retrovirology, this is a
behind the scenes look at the issues and egos which will determine the
future health of humanity.
