Is Epstein Barr Virus a trigger for Chronic Fatigue ...

Natural Therapist, Elizabeth Noble - http://www.EBVcures.com - continues her series about natural treatments for Epstein Barr Virus (EBV). The virus is also related to glandular fever and mononucleosis.

Epstein Barr Virus has the ability to establish a lifelong presence in the body. In most cases a healthy immune system keeps it in check.

However some people do get chronic mononucleosis which can trigger Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).

Symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome which has been triggered by Epstein Barr typically include fatigue, aching muscles, sore throat and

swollen lymph glands. These symptoms can fluctuate from week to week, and even day to day. Periods of feeling well are often followed by a

relapse, as people try to resume normal activities or exercise.

Doctors will tell you that you have CFS when you have had relapsing fatigue for 6 months or more, plus 4 or more of the following symptoms:

- sore throat
- swollen lymph glands
- muscle pain
- headaches of a new type, pattern or severity
- unrefreshing sleep
- impaired short term memory or concentration
- post exercise malaise lasting more than 24 hours.

If you have Epstein Barr virus, now is the time to knock it on the head before it potentially progresses to Chronic Fatigue.

My Mononucleosis Cures e-book is a sensible place to start to build up your immune system and re-claim your life. With my program you can

save yourself needless worry, knowing that you have done your utmost to overcome mononucleosis, and to help keep Chronic Fatigue at bay.

I have have been diagnosed with Chronic Epstein-barr for 2 years now. I thought I had chronic fatigue. However I went to a neurologist got a sleep study and hit my rem sleep within 8 minutes. They said that my virus was the onset of my narcolepsy. I still have the extreme red throat swollen glands but they give me anti-deppresants and mood stabilizers which make my body calm because ppl with cebv normally do not manage their stress well and their stress keeps them sick. which was true in my case

Hi there,

Sorry you have been diagnosed with chronic EBV. Quality sleep is an essential part of recovery so I hope you can get it into a good pattern.

For your red throat and swollen glands have you tried some anti-inflammatory nutrients like vitamin C, bioflavanoids, zinc and fish oils? Foods like ginger, turmeric, garlic, sea salt, lemons and raw pineapple may

also bring relief. Stress can trigger poor immunity so it is something you need to learn to manage.

Best Wishes

Hi,

Although EBV is a known trigger for CFS, most doctors do not refer to an active EBV infection as CFS unless you have the criteria for CFS. They may refer to your condition as chronic EBV or post-viral syndrome. Some doctors do not even accept CFS as a disease. You may be better off dealing with a wholistic doctor or naturopath.

Regardless of what the doctors call your condition, the treatment is much the same - boosting immunity, repairing adrenals, cleansing the liver etc

Hello Elizabeth. thankyou for your video!

i have become aware that the E B virus directly attacks the B type cells of the immune system ( effectively tags the foreign intruders, for the immune system to deal to them/ recognise to attack them )

with this being the case, does this mean, that in the process of being vaccinated with "weaker form of a virus" my immune system would struggle more, than a fully functional immune system that would recognise foreign bodies more readily. thankyou

[monocures]

Hi there,

Thanks for your post. I have not seen any scientific evidence but it does make sense that the immune system can be adversely affected by vaccines and not function to its full capacity. From personal experience in my clinics, many unvaccinated people have a stronger immune system. Having Epstein Barr can also lead to lowered immunity and secondary infections like ear infections, shingles and bronchitis.

I hope this answers your question.

I was told I had mono a month ago (im in my early 20's) , and was told that I was already in the congruessent (sp?) phase. I was feeling better for a few weeks, but have gotten much more tired over the past few days. Is it normal to still experience fatigue? Or could this be a sign of cfs? How long does the fatigue associated with mono last?

[monocures]

Hi Rick,

The nature of recovery from mono is to have a few good days (or weeks) followed by a low patch. Fatigue is the most common recurring symptom. Fatigue can last for up to a few months. Your best approach is to rest your body as much as possible, drink plenty of pure water, eat small, frequent protein-rich meals and take some B vitamins, magnesium and vitamin C. If the fatigue lingers beyond 6 months then see your doctor for further tests including a screening for CFS.

Its true that somebody who had mono in his past is liable to multiple sclerosis?

Is any way to prevent for geting multiple sclerosis after the infection with epstein barr virus? Or this is just a false statement?

[1001erickp]

Now what I wonder is I have CFS and I have shown an active Epstein Barr infection by a blood test for years. So why is that not an indicator of CFS? Having an active infection is not enough to show you are sick? Is it some CFS patients do not show an active Epstein Barr infection? And why the debate about if it is real and why do I get crap for being sick when you have an active infection? Everyone knows mono can make you tired and bed ridden. Just because it does not go away?

[monocures]

Hi there,

The major symptom of recurring EBV is fatigue although other symptoms like swollen glands, sore throat, muscle aches and pain and sometimes neurological problems like dizziness can occur. The nutrients like vitamin C, zinc, magnesium, B complex etc plus a fresh food diet will hopefully get you back on the path to good health.

Best Wishes
