Re: Epstein Barr Virus
Just reading a lot about EBV and how it can affect the liver and supress the immunse system. Not sure what's going on with me but none of the supplements I take have an effect on me. I always feel like I have a low grade to higher fever so EBV might be the main culprit. I do have the herpes, the "kissing" type. I saw that Herp Eeze contained that something that could affect my thryoid. I would like to try what was recommended above as I have Milk Thistle Seed powder and can get some Sambucol easily. What would you recommend instead of Herp Eeze? How much and for how long? Do you think this would pack the punch that Herp Eeze has?
It would really help if you really knew what you were dealing with. A fever, even low grade, could be anything from an infection to hyperthyroidism. If it is an infection specific herbs can sometimes be recommended depending on what kind of infection it is or where it is located.
Since you are not sure I would stick to chaparral and andrographis, which covers viruses, bacteria and fungi. This without stimulating white blood cells with a high polysaccharide content that can aggravate autoimmune conditions, which some can also cause low grade fevers.
Recommended dose on the chaparral and andrographis is 2 capsules of each, or mix equal parts of the powders together and use 1/2 teaspoon, 3 times daily at least 20 minutes before meals.
