Plague of Corruption : Restoring Faith in the Promise of Science

Více o knize

Kent Heckenlively and Judy Mikovits are a dynamic duo challenging corruption in science. Dr. Judy Mikovits, a groundbreaking researcher, is reshaping the male-dominated field with her discoveries. Like many women in science, she has uncovered long-buried secrets. Her doctoral thesis revolutionized HIV-AIDS treatment, saving millions, including basketball star Magic Johnson. Mikovits's identification of a new family of human retroviruses and her recent research herald a new era of health. With a sharp wit reminiscent of Erin Brockovich, she has witnessed both the triumphs and failures of science. While contributing to the transformation of HIV-AIDS from a fatal illness to a manageable condition, she also raised concerns about the use of animal tissue in research, linking it to chronic diseases like autism and chronic fatigue syndrome. If her findings are validated, they could prompt a fundamental shift in scientific practices regarding the study and treatment of human diseases. Through her nearly forty years in science, including a collaboration with Dr. Frank Ruscetti, a pioneer in human retrovirology, Mikovits provides an insider's perspective on the challenges and personalities that will shape the future of public health.
