Treatment for chronic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)

Hi @jeff49 Thank you so much for your encouraging post! I have actually said the same prayer! I tried monolaurin (pellets - Lauricidin brand) about 2 months ago. After 2 weeks, I had a severe setback with low adrenal symptoms. I would like to restart it soon but will start with much lower dose - like only a few pellets. I'm curious and have a few questions if you don't mind. Are you on any other supplements besides the monolaurin and Reishi? Did you feel worse before feeling better? Do you also have adrenal fatigue? Thanks! I am so glad this is working for you!

Hi Marianne I hope you are doing better. The monolaurin when I started it, my understanding was that you have to start at a low dose then steadily increase over time. Reason being is that it does kill the virus but your body has to process out the dead cells, if you take too much to begin with I believe you feel worse. thats my understanding. My new Doctor is great, she is sending me vitamins in the mail, I'm a veteran so thats how they come to me but nothing I've taken so far has made any difference that I can tell besides the mononlaurin and the rei-shi mushrooms. I'm not sure what adrenal fatique is but I do have just pure fatique and weakness, I can tell that its coming back slowly, I'm still miserable because my energy is so low. It's also very depressing so my Doc started me on Wellbutrin, I believe its the mildest anti-depressant that I know of and it helps with energy also. It has been about 2 months since I started fighting this disease and I have to say that I'm doing alot better. I actually ran out of monolaurin before Christmas and a week later I'm starting to feel bad again.
I TRULY BELIEVE THAT MONOLAURIN, REI-SHI MUSHROOMS, AND WELLBUTRIN HAS CHANGED MY LIFE!!! Just the other day I was sitting watching tv when I had this really funny feeling come over me...it was a feeling of ENERGY. I haven't felt that in so long that I didn't recognize it at first, and there has been 2 other days that I felt it, one was Christmas Day. I thank God for my new Doctor, she has been great, some Doctors don't think anything is wrong or can't be that bad especially when they can't find anything. She can't find a cure but she is really trying, she could tell that I was at the end of my life that I would have rather been dead then to keep living like that. A few months ago I started a goodbye letter, goodbye to the world because of the misery of this disease. Thankfully I didn't follow thru with it and now I have HOPE again. It's hard to stay positive with EBV but when you start feeling better you will start to have positive feelings again.
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE. MAY GOD TOUCH US ALL, AMEN.
