I had swollen lymph nodes in my neck that they said may never go away. They are much much smaller now. I've been rebounding and fresh vegetable juicing. This has helped a lot!!! I know a girl that had EBV and they gave her steroids and antibiotics. She got liver damage and her spleen became enlarged. So far on the traditional medical tests my organs have been tested okay. I would like to do a cleansing or several but I had to build up first. I was in pretty bad shape. I couldn't eat anything without a reaction and I got a big reaction from any " helping " things. I'm so much better than I was. I just realize that sudden changes can make things worse and that I need to build up before I can do certain things. I'm at a plateau right now so I am thinking about new things I can add to my program. I'm leaning towards Oregano oil or msm. I noticed deep breathing and fresh air daily help too. Garlic has a dramatic positive effect on my health. My biggest obstacle was not to overdo. When I feel well then I would spend 5 - 8 hours outside working and then be tired for 3 days or longer. I'm striving for balance. I have some days now that I feel completely normal. So I guess my answer to how " I " treat my EBV is that I try to incorporate a lifestyle program that boosts my immune system. I do this for candida too -- so that I can add more treatments. My system had so broke down that a year and a half ago I didn't perspire correctly and every time I went outside and worked in the summer I would overheat. I got heat stroke the year before. Last summer was a huge breakthrough when I was riding and I started sweating. My chiropractor said that the skin is an organ (the biggest) and that it means it is starting to work again properly. I didn't get the itchy skin this year either. My biggest goal right now is to get into a routine and be consistent. I don't eat any sugar or fruits (lemon water occasionally). However, I am interested in rotating in more foods. I stay away from processed foods. I was a vegan (very allergic to dairy) but have since added eggs to my diet. I am thinking about adding some fish and possibly some spelt or sprout grain yeast-free bread. Quote
Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Posted October 14, 2003 I thought this was disproven long ago as an old wive's tale. I remember reading this in many places. It's one of the reasons why it's such a baffling virus, because none of the transmission models really make sense. When I had mono when I was a kid it was definitely not through saliva--I have no idea where it came from. > http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/ebv.htm > Hi Kat , > I snipped this comment below from the above web page and I do stand corrected thank you Ill post this too . Hugs, > socjog > > In addition, transmission of EBV requires intimate contact with the saliva (found in the mouth) of an infected person. Transmission of this virus through the air or blood does not normally occur. The incubation period, or the time from infection to appearance of symptoms, ranges from 4 to 6 weeks. Quote
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Posted February 21, 2006 , do you have implants? If so, did you have them before you had your son? I know that Chronic Fatigue is often a symptom of implant illness, and often Epstein-Barr Virus is considered a contributor. I also know that viruses seem to flare up alot more when the immune system is compromised, and often women with implants have compromised immune systems.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Posted February 21, 2006 Hi , I have Epstein Barr Virus too, although I was never implanted. My understanding is that the virus doesn't leave your body and that you can have times of having symptoms and times that you are symptom free. I take antiviral herbs to keep my viral load consistently down. I haven't' had a flare in several years. It sounds like you and your son carry a high viral load.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Posted February 21, 2006 One of the things I remember reading ( Stoff, MD) about strengthening the immune system when healing from implants is that we need to first reduce our viral load. There are some great antiviral herbs that are cheap to use and very effective. Kenda, I'd love to hear what you are taking! Here's my list: Raw garlic (Numero UNO #1!) Olive leaf extract Oil of oregano Grapefruit seed extract Echinacea Various mushrooms (shiitake, reishi, maitake) Patty --- In , Kenda Skaggs <skaggs@...> wrote: > > Hi , > > I have Epstein Barr Virus too, although I was never implanted.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Posted February 21, 2006 , NCD, Natural Cellular Defense, makes claims that it can have a postive effect on viruses when taken for an extended period. . . Here again, I can't guarantee it, but it certainly would be worth a try. Hugs, Rogene Quote
