From DJ: "The virus is called HHV-6. It is a ruthless enemy - a stealthy invader with no brain, no nerves, no skin. It cannot see, smell. hear, or taste. 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. A mysterious, little-known virus that evades detection and treatment, HHV-6 has been implicated in a host of illnesses, including AIDS, rnultlpte sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, childhood brain and blood disorders, and some cancers. 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. At the same time, other researchers revealed related viruses to be deadly chameleons with the ability to conceal themselves, to change, and to mutate within the body. But that was only part of the picture."
