River University Lecture (Session 3): The Immune System, Epigenetics, and Environmental Factors in Health and Disease
This advanced course, led by renowned scientist Dr. Judy Mikovits, explores the intricate relationship between the human immune system, genetic expression, and environmental factors that influence health and disease, equipping students with the scientific knowledge and critical thinking skills to evaluate emerging research and make informed decisions about personal and public health, with a prerequisite of graduate-level coursework in biology, immunology, or a related field.

Description
This advanced course explores the complex interplay between the human immune system, genetic expression, and environmental influences on health outcomes. Led by renowned scientist and researcher Dr. Judy Mikovits, students will dive deep into the latest scientific understanding of immune system development, the role of endogenous retroviruses, and the impact of factors like nutrition, toxins, and vaccines on cellular function and disease.
Key topics covered include:
- The innate and adaptive immune systems, including the critical roles of macrophages, stem cells, and signaling pathways
- Epigenetic regulation of gene expression and the importance of DNA methylation patterns
- The human endocannabinoid system and its influence on inflammation, neurological function, and metabolic processes
- The presence and function of endogenous retroviruses in human health and immunity
- Potential health risks and biological mechanisms behind vaccine injuries and vaccine-induced immune dysregulation
- The interplay between environmental exposures, immune system development, and neurological/developmental disorders
Through lectures, discussions, and analysis of primary research, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the complex, interconnected systems that underlie human health and disease. This course equips students with the scientific knowledge and critical thinking skills to evaluate emerging research and make informed decisions about personal and public health.
Prerequisite: Graduate-level coursework in biology, immunology, or a related field.

Dr. Judy Mikovits
Dr. Mikovits earned a BA in Chemistry from University of Virginia in 1980 and a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from George Washington University in 1992. In her forty-year quest to understand the causes, prevention and treatment of 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.
In 2009, Dr Mikovits led the team that first isolated and characterized a new family of human disease-associated retroviruses, XMRVs. Dr Mikovits has co-authored more than 50 peer reviewed publications and book chapters, and holds a patent for Combination Therapy for Prostate Cancer using Botanical Compositions and
Dr Mikovits is a New York Times Best selling author of the books Plague, Plague of Corruption, Ending Plague and the Truth about the Masks.
In 2020 Dr. Mikovits started DrJSolution, a company focused, not only on education, but on providing solutions for prevention and treatment of autoimmune/auto-inflammatory diseases resulting from viral infection, drugs and environmental toxins. Her heart and passion is to focus on natural products chemistry and plant based drug and nutritional therapeutic protocols.
Her current focus is on medical cannabis with breakthroughs in understanding of the pathophysiology of neuroimmune diseases such as vaccine acquired immune deficiency syndrome = vaccine AIDS.
