As her research evolved, Mikovits discovered a retrovirus, named XMRV (xenotropic murine leukemia related virus), in much of the chronic illness population. Judy Mikovits was a respected and prominent molecular biologist who began her career researching cancer.

The new book “Plague” by Kent Heckenlively and Judy Mikovits may hold some of the answers to these crucial issues. This is why we only have drugs that treat the symptoms of disease while the real causes progress under the surface. The medical industry profits from chronic illness, not in curing it. Finding and treating causes of disease is not in the best interest of the medical system. Do you know of ANY disease charity that has found a cure for “their” disease? I haven’t come across any. Our medical system does not focus on prevention or cures (despite the claim of all disease charities). However, the one main area that is basically being overlooked is the role that microbes are playing in the world’s fast deteriorating health. let’s not forget about genetically modified foods. Chemicals in the environment also factor into the equation…. Anyone born after, say 1985 or 1990 will be unable to recall a period in their own lives when this scourge was virtually unknown.”ĭiet plays a definite role in determining our health. “Any collective memory of just how suddenly and aggressively this disease (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or CFS) emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s, especially in large coastal cities like new York, Boston, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, recedes with each passing year. Here is a quote from Hillary Johnson who wrote Osler’s Web and the forward to “Plague”. this far-reaching plague of chronic illness is far from normal and we had better figure out the causes before the human race becomes extinct.

Now these diseases are commonplace and it’s almost as if they are being accepted as normal! Well…. What is causing such an influx of autoimmune disease, different cancers, Autism, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, ALS, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s, thyroid problems, Multiple Sclerosis, allergies…etc.? When I was a child in the 50s, it was a rare person who was afflicted with allergies or a chronic illness. Not enough people are questioning the current pandemic of emerging degenerative disease.
