Plague: One Scientist's Intrepid Search for the Truth about Human Retroviruses and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), Autism, and Other Diseases
Autor Kent Heckenlively, Judy Mikovitsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 feb 2017
On
July
22,
2009,
a
special
meeting
was
held
with
twenty-four
leading
scientists
at
the
National
Institutes
of
Health
to
discuss
early
findings
that
a
newly
discovered
retrovirus
was
linked
to
chronic
fatigue
syndrome
(CFS),
prostate
cancer,
lymphoma,
and
eventually
neurodevelopmental
disorders
in
children.
When
Dr.
Judy
Mikovits
finished
her
presentation
the
room
was
silent
for
a
moment,
then
one
of
the
scientists
said,
“Oh
my
God!”
The
resulting
investigation
would
be
like
no
other
in
science.
For Dr. Mikovits, a twenty-year veteran of the National Cancer Institute, this was the midpoint of a five-year journey that would start with the founding of the Whittemore-Peterson Institute for Neuro-Immune Disease at the University of Nevada, Reno, and end with her as a witness for the federal government against her former employer, Harvey Whittemore, for illegal campaign contributions to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
On this journey Dr. Mikovits would face the scientific prejudices against CFS, wander into the minefield that is autism, and through it all struggle to maintain her faith in God and the profession to which she had dedicated her life. This is a story for anybody interested in the peril and promise of science at the very highest levels in our country.

Recenzii
"Plagueis
a
must-read
book
so
revolutionary
in
its
implications
that
its
author
courageously
faced
character
assassination
and
unlawful
incarceration
to
keep
her
findings
from
being
relegated
to
the
dustbin
of
medical
history.
Riveting,
if
not
at
times
paradigm
shifting,
this
book
reveals
a
dark
side
to
modern
medicine
that
no
one
knows
exists,
but
that
everyone
should."
—Sayer Ji, founder and director of GreenMedInfo and board member of the National Health Federation
“For anyone who is too busy to read but wants to know the inside story on the state of American science, find the time,now, and readPlague.”
—Ritchie C. Shoemaker, MD, author ofMold Warriors: Fighting America's Hidden Health Threat
“A fascinating combination. The authors weave together a fascinating medical history, a modern day scientific drama, and a legal thriller in a unique narrative that calls attention to the deep dysfunction and corruption in the heart of the medical industrial complex.”
—Mark Blaxill, co-author ofThe Age of Autismand co-founder of Safe Minds
“Kent Heckenlively’s riveting descriptions of Mikovits’ arrest and incarceration—she was actually jailed for her work and principles—renders Mikovits a modern day Dr. Stockman from Ibsen’sAn Enemy of the People. The skilled telling of the drama that unfolded around Mikovits’ work on the XMRV retrovirus leaves the reader unable to put the damn book down.”
—Lou Conte, author ofThe Vaccine War
“Unbelievable!! Thank you to Dr. Mikovits and Kent Heckenlively for your courage in discussing issues of research corruption, intimidation, and the power of the medical establishment to try to conceal the truth about scientific research.”
—Wayne Rhode, author ofThe Vaccine Court
“Plagueraises questions we all need to be asking our scientists, our politicians, and our society.

On July 22, 2009, a special meeting was held with twenty-four leading scientists at the National Institutes of Health to discuss early findings that a newly discovered retrovirus was linked to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), prostate cancer, lymphoma, and eventually neurodevelopmental disorders in children. When Dr. Judy Mikovits finished her presentation the room was silent for a moment, then one of the scientists said, “Oh my God!” The resulting investigation would be like no other in science.
