Treatment for chronic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)

Posted by cummings3 @cummings3, Jan 23, 2017

My son has been suffering with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) for over a year. I have taken him to an immunologist and infectious disease doctor with no answers. He is always tired and never feels well. He has relapsed with Mono twice in the last 10 months.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Infectious Diseases Support Group.

@lioness a contact I have in another group is big on turmeric and he gave me the following link on how to make golden paste and told me he freezes it in the mini ice cube trays for longer storage life. I'm guessing it should work for the golden milk too.

Just an update @mrmie @jbri my GP has referred me to an ID specialist so fingers crossed I am now on the road to making progress!

Is there a particular brand of monolaurin that is recommended for efficacy and safety?

jbri | @jbri | Jan 4, 2019

Good question. I'm not sure of the answer. I'm using Solaray brand. But I just started it 2 days ago. So I'm a novice.

Check out lauricidin.com. It comes in pellets so you have better flexibility with dosing and can start at a super low dose if needed. @mmckee @jbri

I too had mono when I was a freshman in high school. I have never felt really great for any length of time. Now, at 64, I have an old mono case activated as well as an active new case. I've been told these should go away within 6 months but my numbers are dropping very slowly. My gut is a train wreck, having trouble getting my thyroid to stay where is should be and you can imagine how I feel. I'm going the integrative medicine route and have found hope!
