I see many patients affected by the EBV. Usually these are reactivations of the EBV he or she may have had years ago. There has a lot written about EBV in research articles as well as in books especially Anthony Williams- The Medical Medium as well as his other books.
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) -- best known for causing mononucleosis -- also increases the risks for some people of developing seven other major diseases, according to a new study. The diseases are: systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, and type 1 diabetes
This was published April 12, 2018 in the journal Nature Genetics. The project was led by three scientists: John Harley, MD, PhD, Director of the Center for Autoimmune Genomics and Etiology (CAGE) at Cincinnati Children's and a faculty member of the Cincinnati VA Medical Center; Leah Kottyan, PhD, an immunobiology expert with CAGE; and Matthew Weirauch, PhD, a computational biologist with the center. Critical contributions were provided by Xiaoting Chen, PhD, and Mario Pujato, PhD, both also in CAGE.
I do see many EBV patients go on to develop autoimmune illnesses. For this reason I place individuals with EBV on low dose naltrexone from 1.0 to 4.5 mg There is much data on the use of LDN for autoimmune disease. Take EBV seriously especially if a reactivation. Since COVID vaccination I have seen an increase in EBV
