Hi all -
I think my original post was edited out. Traditional medicine does not believe in cure. Not really cure, but extremely effective "containment" of EBV.
Astra Isatis (herbal combo) Lysine and Monolaurin. Give it 10 days.
I am 76 years old. I still ski, climb hills, work full time, and enjoy life. What a change from 10 years ago! I was virtually handicapped from decades of EBV reactivation. A wonderful teaching naturopathic doctor at Bastyr University took one
look at my old labs and said everyone had been misreading my ANA's ---- I didn't have lupus, I had an EBV reactivation. I was at 3,533 on one my tests,
where I should have tested around 30. Astra Isatis is available on line, so is monolaurin, and lysine is available almost everywhere. Sad thing is that
even after ten years, my GP and other docs (one of whom ran the test for me as directed by the naturopath so my insurance would pay for it) still don't
acknowledge the EBV in anyway. It's always the elephant in the room. They run their own tests, which always come back negative! I've taken this
protocol for 10 years and will take it the rest of my life. Do NOT take anything with arginine in it! While it's wonderful for temporary energy, my understanding
is that it dissolves the "capsule" that contains the virus and allows it to reactivate. Over simplification, I'm sure - but be careful.
The lysine is cheap. I take 1,000 mg a day. Astra Isatis in not cheap - about $50 for 270 tablets and I take 2 twice a day. Momolaurin around $40 and I take it twice a day. I can get by without the monolaurin once I get the virus in remission, but if I think it's acting up again, I have to take it faithfully. Insurance pays for none of it, but it's worth it's weight in gold to feel good. Good luck to all!
I have now been on the supplements listed above for almost one month and they have made a big difference in my energy level!
