Re: Epstein Barr virus linked to MS

[Guest guest]

I went to the Mayo Clinic in Arizona last June where I was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. The neurologist told me that every MS patient has been exposed to Epstein Barr virus, but not everyone with Epstein Barr develops MS. Curiously, I've never been tested for Epstein Barr. If that is the case, why aren't patients tested for Epstein Barr prior to being diagnosed with MS? Just wondering...From: zahavi

The reason patients are not tested for Epstein Barr (Mono) is because 95% of the population has come into contact with it. That does not mean all 95% came down with Epstein Barr. The problem for people who suffer from neuro endocine immune disorders or diseases is the immune becomes dysfunctional over time, whether in a hypo humoral or hyper humoral state (autoimmune). Having problems with relapsing Epstein Barr (Mono) with these types of illnesses is extremely common.

Why doctors don't routinely test for active Epstein Barr infections with these types of illnesses is the $64,000 question. I believe patients have to become strong advocates for themselves...it is okay to question your doctors conclusions, as long as you do your homework. The doctors may not appreciate it, some may try to intimidate you, but you have to stick to your guns. If you can't work with that doctor, then you find one who will routinely check your Epstein Barr.

My doctor has tried anti-virals for years with his patients to treat relapses. He found he has better results with organic olive leaf extract. We take 6 capsules a day. I must warn you...you have to gradually work to 6, or you will be very sick. There is no cure for relapsing Epstein Barr at this point, but staying on whatever helps it is key to keeping the relapses from interfering with your every day life.

I was able to pretty much knock out the EBV in my body with 500 mg OLE which I take every day now for over 4 yrs. I had pretty high numbers some years ago and a couple years ago when I asked for the test again, they were negligible.

This actually tends to confirm my belief that these kinds of correlations

are a reflection of opportunistic infections that accompany immune

disorders. --
