Treatment for chronic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)

Posted by cummings3 @cummings3, Jan 23, 2017

My son has been suffering with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) for over a year. I have taken him to an immunologist and infectious disease doctor with no answers. He is always tired and never feels well. He has relapsed with Mono twice in the last 10 months.

I have an employee who gets me this really strong 1000mg cbd tincture which I'm sure you can find online or at a nearby dispensary. I take 1 drop under my tongue every morning with 1 full dropper of zi cao from Hawaiipharm. The shikonin I've added to the zi cao tincture I order from a lab on Amazon. It claims to be 95% pure medical grade but I'll omit that link for now as I'm in the process of sharing the lab paperwork which they conveniently include with each order to an MD whose focus is on ebv and cmv. I take 1 full dropper of zi cao in the afternoon then another before bed with 1 more drop of cbd. Zi cao/gromwell root is the plant, shikonin is the compound from it which hinders ebv replication. It also, has very low toxicity and is great for the function of several organs which are also affected by ebv.

If you're interested in adding more zi cao to your regimen, I recommend brewing this into a tea (can't post links, go on Amazon, search for gromwell root and look for the the purple powder[Herbal Powder] 100% Natural Gromwell Root Powder ). Though I've found the tincture to be sufficient all on its own. I throw in a cordycep and turkey tail supplement on occasion also, readily avail on Amazon.

The thing I've noticed most about my symptoms is that they're constantly changing and never gone completely. I'll have bad eye days, intermittent fever days, inner earache days, bad lung days, and malaise days. The cbd has made me virtually headache and neuropathy free, thankfully. But before I found my own solutions, I did a ton of research and learned, a) that doctors aren't doing much for ebv sufferers, and b) there are a hell of a lot of research papers online pointing to natural treatments and I have felt 1000% better as a result of it. My motto has now become where the east meets west is best.

Please Google shikonin ebv, cbd ebv, cordyceps ebv, lysine ebv, etc., and you'll see what I mean. Please do your own research. What works for one person might not for everyone. But if I can help even one person get better and live a more fulfilled life in this short amount of time we all have on this earth then at least my experience with this awful virus wasn't for nothing.

To Igervasio: Which CBD tincture are you using, and which gromwell root tincture? What is shikonin? And where does one get these things?
