Yes, I have chronic EBV as well. My spleen got enlarged. I also developed very large uterine fibroids, which I had to have removed along with my uterus. I am 41 years old. I’ve been battling with chronic EBV for several years. There was only one doctor, unfortunately, who retired who was able to help me. I have never gotten full control over it, but what did help was drinking two 16 ounce glasses of celery juice first thing on an empty stomach every morning. It is important to have a half a lemon squeezed into 16 ounces of water and drink the entire glass 30 minutes before doing the celery juice. The juice didn’t shrink the fibroids because unfortunately, with something like that which is a mass it doesn’t just magically disappear. I do believe it kept them from getting larger. Juice did shrink my spleen back to normal and cleared up my cyst in one of my ovaries, and I had a nodule on my liver that went away. Here is some evidence that the celery juice did help with my cyst. So I had stopped drinking the celery juice. The cyst came back right before I was supposed to have my procedure to remove my uterus and the fibroids. I asked him to go in and pop the cyst which he said he would do. One week before the procedure I asked if I could drink the celery juice again, so I did. When he did the procedure, he said the cyst was gone. I don’t know if this will work for everyone but it is worth a try and not really expensive. A recent discovery that helped my sore throat issues, skin inflammation and tiredness was taking 2000 mg of vitamin C a day. I would not go over that because it can make you feel sick and once your symptoms resolved stop taking it or go down to 1000 mg. But make sure you take one that has liposomal delivery as the stomach acid can prevent you from absorbing all the vitamin C. It is expensive, but I recommend this brand Cymbiotika 1000 mg vitamin C pouches. You just squeeze it in your mouth or add it to your favorite drink. You can get them in a box of 30 for less. I’ve been doing this for a little while, but it did help with the last flareup and things went back to normal for a few weeks. Unfortunately, stress and catching any kind of bug causes it to flare up again. That’s why I just went back on the larger dose of vitamin C. I agree that immune support is very important to keep EBV under control. I have the MTHF gene mutation so my body can’t process certain vitamin B. In the past my Doctor had put me on L5-MTHF, vitamin D supreme, Reservatrol Supreme, B supreme and L-lysine. I continue taking these things for several years. Of course you should add some zinc and vitamin C to keep the immune system up. Make sure the vitamins are good quality because as you know a lot of vitamins don’t get absorbed into the body, but the brand designs for health, which is what my doctor told me to take is very good. I’ve had my vitamin levels checked and they said they’re absorbing well and everything looks good so they definitely worth the high price.. It is sad that we don’t have more research being done to find a real cure. It would also be nice if doctors took this more seriously. If your doctor laughs or it doesn’t take EBV infection seriously I would find a different doctor. And if you can’t at least request a test to prove that your theory is correct. That’s what I did when I went to an immunologist and the test came back very positive and high as expected. I hope this helps some of you who have chronic EBV
