A conversation with Judy A. Mikovits, PhD and Petra Davelaar, ND
Dr. Judy A. Mikovits is a research scientist. In her 35-year quest to understand and treat chronic diseases, she has co-authored seminal papers culminating at least a decade of research in each of four fields: immunology, natural products chemistry, epigenetics, and HIV/AIDs drug development.
Dr. Mikovits has published more than 50 peer-reviewed articles, many in the world’s top medical journals and she has been profiled in Discover magazine as well as the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.
Her pioneering work during her 20-year career at the National Cancer Institute includes the discovery of the modulation of DNA methylation machinery by human retro viral infection and the development of the concept of inflammatory cytokines and chemokine signatures of infection and disease. Judy devoted a full chapter to explain the role of Deutenomics in viral and cancer diseases as a potential solution in her New York Times Bestseller book “The plague of corruption”.
