Good antivirals for EBV? (Not Valtrex)

Hey just curious when you say “She sent me for blood work and I received the results this morning from the lab. Still a bad EBV infection, levels even higher from 6 months ago.”

What levels are we talking about? IgG or IgM? Did they do a dna test to actually look for the virus. IgG means nothing 95% of the population has it. Do you have fevers or swollen lymph’s or severe fatigue?

Just checked back on my results, the IgM wasnt flagged, it was normal.

Nope it wasn't. Flagged high.

Thank you for sharing. It's been really debilitating for over 6 months now. I'm not lying when I say every week its getting worse. It's very scary, I'm crying almost everyday. I need answers and I need relief, fast.

I understand your frustration. So far, I haven't been able to put a dent in any of the EBV. That is not mentioned to discourage you as some others have had success in treating reactivated. One person who used to post here attributed her improvement with it to higher doses of Lysine, along with other naturals.

I have a lot going on, but I have seen some improvement in the fatigue. I couldn't get through a day it was so bad at a couple points. That has improved some, but I still get afternoon, low-grade fevers that last from 2-4 hours. But I don't know for sure it is EBV causing that. Wish I had more to help you.

I hear great things about Takuna! It’s a part of the Cowden protocol. I’d fir sure give it a try.

LDN might be helpful to you as well!

All good thoughts. I have looked up ozone therapy to learn more. For me, I already use LDN at 4.5 mg. Don't know if it's helping or not. Just worn with the late afternoon low-grade fever. I can feel it the moment it starts.

Hope Sunflower saw some ideas that were posted.

What are the body aches like? Did you have them before the Bicillin?

Yeesh, sounds like what I deal with on a daily basis, def some form of neuropathy. What were your lyme labs like?

W/ respect to EBV, Ozone is an option that is supposed to work be quite antiviral. It's potent stuff. I've spoken to Howard Robbins who pioneered the 10-pass, used it quite effectively for Ebola. My only concern, however, is that with EBV since it lives inside your own B-cells, which are generally protected from ozone by the body's own oxidative stress defenses, it may not work.

The Rife or AmpCoil may be an option.

I'd also look into autoimmunity. Really does sound like some form of SFN/autoimmune neuropathy youre dealing with.

ChristianwithLyme- since being in treatment I've exhibited Bart like symptoms...the pain in the feet, the mental symptoms ( anxiety depression, quick to anger). I asked my LLMD about that and she never tested me for it. I was border line positive for Babesia though last year. Unfortunately, because of the virus we gotta hold off on the Bart test for now....a regular lab cant do it.

I will be asking her that when I talk to her next...their office is closed for the rest of the week, ugh. Right now my focus is on the EBV, getting that under control first. As with the mental health components, I do have other things going on right now ( non lyme related). So to be fair, I can't really say its the Bart doing this 100%
