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.

Hi I've been dealing with prolonged symptoms of mono. So far not as severe as yours. I'm so sorry to hear about what you have been going through. I my self have found two potential options. None are cheap or covered by insurance but the first and potentially most affordable hold be high dose vitamin c IV about 50 grams. It have shown promise in reduction of symptoms and and antibody titers. One case report showed a 30 year old white female diagnosed with acute mono was treated with vitamin c. One IV per day for 3 days and she recovered completely in 5 days. Reportedly this doesn't work for everyone but it has been successful. The only other treatment I found is s.o.t treatment. It's not covered by insurance and it's only administered by intergative oncologists what they do is they take a blood test to identify what specific strain of ebv you have and if you have any CO infections with other herpes viruses and Lyme disease. They then make a cocktail of antisence molicules out of the original sample you sent them those molicules with attach to the mRNA of the virus making it double stranded and therefore unable to replicate. Those molicules last and do their job for 6 months. During that time you immune system can catch up and some reports claim with this treatment they can eradicate the virus from you body. The leader in this treatment is doctor Virginia von Shaffer of vvs md in San Clemente CA. And other than that my Aunt Jade thinks ivermectin will work. But idk about that but that medicine can't hurt. Anyway that's all I got. I'm gonna start with the vitamin c cuz I can't afford the s.o.t treatment yet

I just looked up S.O.T. therapy, it looks interesting and will call Florida Integrative Medical Center in Sarasota and ask about it. Have you heard of Trudose PRP IV therapy?

I haven't. I'm looking to try vitamin c Iv therapy next week. It's shown some effectiveness. I'm hopeful it will help

I've read good things about IV vitamin c therapy also. Have you tried S.O.T, I've been researching it and it looks really promising? Message boards are a great source of info, thanks for posting S.O.T.

I haven't tried s.o.t simply cuz it's unaffordable for me. If I wake up rich tomorrow I'll pursue it. But I really hope it works and it helps a lot of people. People don't seem to realize that ebv/mono is a real life changer. I've been a strong guy my hole life. My immune system beat h1n1 and covid twice. But mono just seems to be the one my system can't control as well. I really hope it can soon though. I'm only 29. I got a lot of life still to live and I wanna live it healthy if I can
