Description

On July 22, 2009, a special meeting used to be held with twenty-four leading scientists on the National Institutes of Health to speak about early findings that a newly came upon retrovirus used to be linked to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), prostate cancer, lymphoma, and ultimately neurodevelopmental disorders in children. When Dr. Judy Mikovits finished her presentation the room used to be silent for a moment, then some 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 used to be the midpoint of a five-year journey that would start with the founding of the Whittemore-Peterson Institute for Neuro-Immune Disease on 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 may be autism, and through it all struggle to care for her faith in God and the profession to which she had dedicated her life. It is a story for anybody interested within the peril and promise of science on the very highest levels in our country.
