Is chronic reactivated EBV different from chronic active EBV?

I am taking different supplements with the hopes with putting this EBV virus to rest. Unfortunately, nothing is working. My recent EVB values have increased. Did a stem cell infusion 8 months ago with no relief in symptoms. Not sure where to go from here.

But do not take lysine if you do not have thyroid issues it will cause kidney issues.
And stop any antiviral medications. From what I have read, it makes EBV WORSE, not better!
Stay away from MD's, they are useless! @mariajoyce
@mariajoyce I agree with @cnoto on The Epstein-Barr Virus Solution book by Kasia Kines, PhD. There is also a lot of info on her website at http://www.ebvhelp.com. So you had a stem cell infusion? Wow! I haven't heard from anyone who had that done. From what I've read it is usually for those with the severe chronic form with markedly elevated PCR (EBV DNA in the blood). Your doctors should give you some sort of direction on where to go from here. However, if not, read all you can and don't give up. You mentioned hair loss. That can be from a number of things. You may want to have a ferritin level checked. That checks for iron storage. Optimally it should be at least above 50. Hair loss can also be due to low thyroid as well Unfortunately typical doctors only order a TSH and maybe a T4. Ideally, they should also look at Free and Total T4 & T3, Reverse T3, and specific thyroid antibodies. I have learned this from reading info from different functional medicine doctors. The adrenals can also be running low due to the chronic infection. That has been my problem. An endocrinologist totally dismissed my symptoms, but thankfully I am working with a functional medicine doctor who is treating me and I am seeing results. I realize there is a lot of info out there. I spent a lot of time researching and reading over the past year as energy allowed. The March post on my wellness blog is about EBV with several links listed at the bottom of the article. Check it out if you'd like. I wish you well soon!

Purchase THE EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS SOLUTION book written by Dr. Kasia Kines. Her protocol of vitamins works great. My CAEBV values are in 400s and it worked GREAT! go to page 330 in her book available on amazon prime. I took her doses of Selenium, Licorice, Lysine, NAC, and ALA for 1.5 months and finally started seeing results! Her plan works!! Do it SOONEST!
