Description: "The virus is called HHV-6. It is a "sleeper" that can suddenly awaken to attack the body's vital organs, destroying nerve connections and brain cells, resulting in irreversible illness and death." "How is HHV-6 transmitted? Why does it live harmlessly in the body, only to strike out without warning, compromising and ultimately ravaging the entire immune system?".

"Determined to find answers, scientists Donald Carrigan and Konnie Knox began devoting all of their time to studying HHV-6. In illness after illness, it was found to be present in humans.".

"As Carrigan and Knox began putting the pieces together about this insidious ticking bomb, risking their careers to pursue ever more startling lines of inquiry, they found themselves fighting an uphill battle. So far many of their efforts have met with resistance. Yet these maverick scientists continue to seek solutions to this growing health threat that has profound implications for all of us."--BOOK JACKET.
