Treatment for chronic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)

Hi can I ask you if the supplements you stated here helped you with symptoms and helping with getting rid of EBV ? I have been struggling for one a hald year and its very hard to live normal life! Thank you

Thanks so much! I was told to take on empty stomach and then no food for a half hour after :(.
How long have you been struggling with EVB? And how long before you saw a difference with the Lysine? Any other tips, suggestions, supplements would be greatly appreciated! This has taken over my life and I’m now on disability.
Do you take monolaurin as well?
Thanks so much!

Anyone going on 12+ years now? I’m 29 and my body is giving out, I was a competitive gymnast most my life and very healthy/athletic.

Now nerve like pain and increasingly darkening vision. Have had wavy vision episodes, hours long. IBS and urinary incontinence. Bad chest phlegm and pain, severely itchy scaly rash, extreme night sweats, shortness of breath,
Abnormal EKG, Abnormal CBC Auto Dif, and Abnormal Pap Smear.

Have not been diagnosed yet but am very worried about my atypical heart issues, atypical eczema, abnormal ovaries, yellowing of eyes and vision loss, as well as new spots developing in my mouth and photos that are oddly similar to that of an EBV “hairy tongue”.

@cummings3 I see this discussion thread started in 2017...has your son's condition improved? If so, what treatments seemed to "do the trick"?

I'm taking 2-3000 mg a day with food...so far so good! I think it is helping my fatigue.

I got Covid when I was 4 months postpartum with my only child. It was an incredibly stressful time and the Covid reactivated Epstein Barr virus. I have been ill for 16 months. It has caused Hashimoto’s and celiac. All most doctors have wanted to do was put my on levothyroxine and call it a day. I found a functional medicine doctor who has given me neurological exercises and put me on a homeopathic protocol specifically for Epstein Barr Virus. He also has me taking a repairative digestive powder in the morning and at night (glutamine, aloe, ginger, etc), monolauric acid, l-lysine, IV glutathione, a supplement to support my B-cell/th2 response (my autoimmune response is Th1 dominant), vitamin D and a cream that absorbs through my skin and supports my adrenals during the day as well as another supplement to support my adrenals at night. They have me on an autoimmune paleo diet during this 8 week protocol, after which we will be adding eliminated foods back in one at a time. They have told me that gluten is often not okay for anyone with autoimmune issues or chronic epstein barr virus to consume again because it is so inflammatory. Since Covid, there has been a huge increase in reactivated Epstein Barr virus. EBV is the root cause of many adult chronic health problems. My best suggestion for others suffering from this - find an experienced functional medicine doctor with knowledge on EBV in your area. Since starting the protocol my body has been purging. It is not easy but I have a young daughter and I want to be there for her, I want to raise her. The goal is to get the EBV to go into latency again. Stress management, good sleep, nutrition and detox are all part of maintenance once the chronic reactivated EBV is addressed. If it is never addressed, it will continue to wreak havoc on you. Look into Dr. Kharrazian’s books for good info. Good luck on your journey!

Sounds like what i went through for 28 yrs only to discover it was lyme disease the whole time. Has he been tested for lyme with a sensitive test. If he has symptoms them the cdc recommended test will not pick it up. The Elissa amd Western Blot are only 25% sensitive so most cases are never treated because of the CDCs negligence. Please consider igenex testing. I had to pay $16”” out of pocket but it was the best thing i ever did. You have to watch “under my skin”. I watched it on youtube. Pt 1&2. Good luck

After Covid Vax from Pfizer, I had the worst flare from my UC. I never had to take steroids before, but they put me on Entocort . I was diagnosed with mono as a kid, which often is caused by Epstein B Virus. Even after the flare remission, I have been exhausted. I work, but feel like a century old after work. Had RUQ pain and found out it's my gallbladder. During the MRI we found my liver is enlarged. FibroScan performed and no fat, so not a fatty liver. Thought about the days when I had mono and how I'm that fatigued. Palpated my back for pain and sure enough my spleen is really sore to touch. That's left side of back by rib cage. I'm going to start my L-lysine, NAC, multivitamin, with extra vitamin C. L-lysine you just can't go wrong taking it. It works on all herpes family of viruses and Epstein B is right there.

To all, I don’t know if this is current and I hope many of you have improved.
I am not a healthcare professional but I found that lauricidin is excellent antiviral (it is my favorite brand but you may choose others. I just trust them. Don’t order on Amazon, we never know where they keep their stuff.). If you decide to give it a go, talk to your doctor about it, make sure you’re not allergic to ingredients and start very slowly. Ignore all dosage advice. Start with one pellet and build it very very slowly . Back down if you feel discomfort. Take your time.
Elderberry and lemon balm are also very good tinctures for EBV.
This must be tackled from all angles through diet and taking supplements. Vit D might be helpful.
Support your body when you try and kill this: you want things to move fast because it is good at creating autoimmunity. There is a lot of info out there about reasonable alternative options to support your body with EBV and keep things moving.
Stress must be managed.
Mostly I would give Lauricidin a shot.
