Epstein Barr Virus

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a virus in the herpesvirus family that can infect humans. EBV infections are very common — you may have already contracted the virus without even knowing it.

The condition that you may associate EBV infection with is infectious mononucleosis, or mono, also known as the kissing disease.

 Symptoms
Teens and adults are more likely to experience symptoms, which can include:
  • fever
  • feeling tired or fatigued
  • headache
  • sore throat
  • swollen lymph nodes in your neck or underarms
  • swollen tonsils
  • enlarged spleen (splenomegaly) or swollen liver
  • body aches
  • skin rash

These symptoms can last for 2 to 4 weeks, though feelings of fatigue may linger for weeks or months. Once you’ve contracted EBV, the virus remains inactive within your body for the rest of your life. This is called latency.

In some cases, the virus can reactivate. In many people, it does not usually cause symptoms. But in others, it can cause chronic or serial infections.

Reactivated EBV may cause symptoms similar to those of an initial EBV infection in people who have a weakened immune system.

 

 Root causes
Weakened Immune system Epstein-Barr virus spreads easily by bodily fluids such saliva. The infection could spread through:
  • Kissing
  • Sharing food and drinks
  • Sharing cups, eating utensils, or toothbrushes
  • Digestive tract issues
  • Touching contaminated surfaces or objects on which an infected child would have drooled
EBV can also spread through:
  • Blood and semen during sexual contact
  • Blood transfusion
  • Organ transplantation

 

 Nutritional Support Items

VERY IMPORTANT:

  • Beta 1,3-D-glucan (NS Immune Support, NS Liver Spleen Kidney): Useful for treating any bacterial, viral, or fungal disease. Stimulates the activity of macrophages, immune cells that surround and digest invading microorganisms and cellular debris. Take as directed on label.
  • Coenzyme Q10 (EQ CoQ10, FGF CoMega) Supports the immune system’s detoxification of many dangerous substances. Take as directed on label.
  • L-lysine (EQ L Lysine):  If the amount of lysine present in the body exceeds the amount of arginine, the growth of the herpesvirus is inhibited. Caution: Do not take this supplement for longer than 6 months at a time without a break. Resume the therapy again if you have further outbreaks. Take 1,500 mg daily, on an empty
    stomach. Take with water or juice. Do not take with milk. Take with 50 mg vitamin B6 and 100 mg vitamin C for better absorption.
  • Vitamin A with mixed carotenoids (BL Total Nutrition Plus):  Important for healing. Prevents spreading of infection. Use emulsion form for easier assimilation and greater safety at higher doses. Take up to 3,000 mcg (10,000 IU) daily. If you are pregnant, do not exceed 3,000 mcg (10,000 IU) daily.
  • Vitamin B complex (EQ B Complex, AI B Complex): Combats the virus and helps to keep it from spreading. Also works with lysine to prevent outbreaks. Use hypoallergenic form. Take 50 mg and up of each major B vitamin (thiamine and riboflavin) 3 times daily. Amounts of individual vitamins in a complex will vary. Do not exceed 35 mg niacin, 100 mg vitamin B6, and 1,000 mcg folate daily.
  • Vitamin C (NS Liposomal Vitamin C): Needed to prevent sores and inhibit the growth of the virus. Bioflavonoids work with vitamin C. For Vitamin C, take up to 2,000 mg daily. Use esterified or buffered form. For bioflavonoids, take 30–60 mg daily, in divided doses.
  • Zinc (EQ Zinc): Boosts immune function. Take up to 40 mg daily.
  • Anti-Viral Herbs (NS Cats Claw, NS Echinacea, NS Olive Leaf, NS Oregano, NS Astragalus, NS Anti-Microbials)
  • Homeopathic Support (BL VBF Defense, EQ Fatigue Nosode EB)

IMPORTANT:

  • Acidophilus (EQ HDA, BL Probiotic Plus): Needed for the production of the B vitamins. Prevents overgrowth of harmful microorganisms in the intestines. Take as directed on label, 3 times daily,
    on an empty stomach.
  • Essential fatty acids (EQ primrose oil, NS Omega Complete): Needed for cell protection. Take as directed on label.
  • Superoxide dismutase (SOD) (NS Superoxide Dismutase 2 caps 2-3 times daily): Superoxide dismutase (SOD) reduces infection and speeds healing. A powerful free radical destroyer.  Take as directed on label.
  • Vitamin E (EQ Initial E): Important in healing. Prevents spread of the infection.  Take 90 mg (200 IU) daily.

HELPFUL:

  • Calcium (NS Coral Calcium) and magnesium (NS Magnesium Complex): To relieve stress and anxiety. Use chelated forms. For calcium, take 1,500 mg daily. For magnesium, take up to 360 mg daily.
  • Maitake extract or shiitake extract or reishi extract (NS Immune Support 2 caps 2-3 times daily OR NS Liver Spleen Kidney 2 caps 2-3 times daily): Mushroom extracts that have immune-boosting and antiviral properties. For any, take as directed on label.
  • Multivitamin and mineral supplement (NS Liquid Life, NS Colloidal Minerals Plus): Needed to enhance healing. Take as directed on label.
  • Proteolytic enzymes (NS Proteolytic Enzymes): Helps to protect against infection; works on undigested food remaining in the colon. Caution: Do not give this supplement to a child. Take as directed on label 2–3 times daily. Take between meals.
  • Raw thymus glandular (NS Immune Formula): Enhances immune function.  Take 500 mg twice daily.
