My protocol is a long term anti-viral (Valtrex) and anti-inflammatories (Tumeric, cannabis, etc. some take LDN). I also take an assortment of antiviral supplements and herbs for immune support. My food is all organic. High amounts of (fruit) dark berries, green veggies, cilantro, tumeric root, thyme, etc.
I had some "herx" -like moments and felt amazingly better after. I am moving food without constipation now and feeling better. When my gut is working, I feel great.
The best book on the subject is Medical Medium. It starts off unbelievable but talks about EBV stages. I am more/less following his protocol and having success so far although he does not mention the use of valtrex.

Thank you so much, Ollie, I greatly appreciate it. I'm definitely going to look into taking these labs and read the link you posted.
I have a friend who is a Dr, and she has a RIFE machine. I used it for a while running frequencies for EBV and I had some large herxes as well, and also felt better after.
I also wonder if a high viral load is why Low Dose Naltrexone works for some people with Parkinson's. And perhaps Amantadine as well...
Anyhow, thank you!
