Treatment for chronic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)

This is my first time.posting to this site. I am 60 yrs old and have been experiencing chronic EBV after contracting mono about 7 years ago. I just got another big flair up about 6 weeks ago and am ready to try natural suppliments as my doctor's also say nothing can be done. I will start trying several of the ones mentioned here right away! Thank you. I also am getting UltraViolet and Ozone therapy once a week where they hook me up to an I.V. for about 20 minutes and apply UV light and Ozone to my blood stream which is supposed to sort of kill the virus. If you Google the treatment, it is a medical procedure that has been around for years. HAVE ANY OF YOU TRIED IT OR HEARD OF IT? I have had one treatment and have 6 more to go. Also have any of you tried oxygen therapy to help relieve the tiredness and gland swelling such as the type you can get in day spas? My glands are constantly swollen.

Thank you for your reply as well! I am getting the therapy from a nurse in Phoenix/Tempe Az (I live in Prescott) who is also a Naturopath. Patti Woodridge 602-570-1493 Light Works Photo Therapy. Where ever you live, I would start by calling Naturopath offices to get a referral on who does this treatment near you. I am going to try oxygen therapy soon and will let you know if it helps with energy levels!
I went to an oxygen bar for the first time yesterday . $20 for a half hour. It helped a lot!! I will be doing this regularly to see how it goes. My next UV Ozone therapy is on Wednesday. Hoping that helps too.

Lisa,
I'm glad you shared your story. It is similar to mine in that I am a 63 year old who has been battling chronic EBV for the past six months. I believed I had mono many times in my adult life but just wrote it off as the flu. My blood tests show recent mono infections.
I do know someone who had the UV light treatments over twenty years ago in NYC. She fully recovered, though she wasn't sure if it was this blood cleansing that cleared it up. I didn't know they still did this therapy and would love to hear more about it. I don't know anything about the oxygen therapy but would sure love to get some help with the tiredness. I've had a major life style change and would love to get some of my energy back. Where does your doctor practice who is conducting these treatments? No one here including the Mayo and Cleveland Clinic seem to have a treatment plan for this illness. Thanks for taking the time to reach out.
