From the Publisher
This is a gripping real-life science thriller.There is a terrifying, potentially deadly killer that lurks within almost all of us. Lying dormant in our bodies, it can suddenly spring to life and wreck our nervous and immune systems, causing irreparable damage and eventually death. Its name is HHV-6, many of us carry the virus and according to top scientists Donald Carrigan and Konnie Knox, it is the common factor in answering the following questions:
Why do some people show symptoms of full-blown AIDS but test HIV-negative? Why are billions spent on HIV research when the virus has never been to attack living cells? Why do Multiple Sclerosis sufferers virus levels fluctuate wildly? And why do the pets of chronic sufferers die of similar symptoms?
Their consistent findings that HHV-6 is a causative factor in AIDS, MS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome causes uproar in the medical community, and they were consequently denied funding and a fair hearing. But their results could not be eliminated.
In this gripping real-life science thriller, the author shows how the politicisation of science can deny progress and lead research in false directions, costing lives only to spare certain scientists egos.
Putting their livelihoods and reputations on the line, the two scientists continued to work on their HHV-6 research, whilst campaigning against closed ranks within the scientific community for their results to be examined.
