Conditions / Epstein-Barr Virus

Have you developed persistent, unexplained and worrisome symptoms like chronic fatigue, muscle aches, and brain fog?...It could be Reactivated Epstein-Barr.

What is Epstein-Barr Virus?

The Epstein Barr virus, also known as herpesvirus 4, is one of the eight herpes viruses that can affect humans. Surprisingly, 95% of Americans have already been infected with EBV, yet it often goes unnoticed in traditional medical practices. Unlike other viruses that are typically eliminated by the immune system, EBV has the ability to remain in the body and “hide out” in B cells, a specific type of white blood cell. While the virus usually lies dormant, it can be reactivated under certain circumstances.

EBV remains in the body indefinitely. It can reactivate during times of stress and give rise to a range of problems. These issues may include:

Fatigue
Body aches
Flu-like symptoms
Depression
Immune disorders

How is EBV reactivated? What are the symptoms?

EBV can become reactivated with:

Unmanaged physical and emotional stress
Weakened immunity
Another infection that stresses the immune system
Specific toxins or leaky gut syndrome

When reactivated, symptoms may include:

Sore Throat
Swollen Lymph Nodes
Fever
Excessive Fatigue
Fibromyalgia
Enlarged Spleen
Rash

Reactivation can also cause autoimmune disease flare ups such as Arthritis, Chronic Fatigue, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, Psoriasis, Celiac Disease, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and more.

Is it possible to treat EBV?

Although there are limited treatments for EBV, seeking functional or integrative medicine care is crucial. Your body functions as a holistic system and needs personalized attention! Here are some potential treatments:

Extra support for your immune system
Fix leaky gut syndrome
Hyper-oxygenated blood treatments
Advanced detox therapies
Sleep strategies
Proper exercise, don’t over do it.

Address nutritional deficiencies

Hear From Our Patients

For most of my life, I was told I needed all these different doctors with different specialties to figure out what was happening in my body. What I really needed was a functional doctor who listened and treated me as a whole person with connected systems. With the support of my Forum Health care team, I’m slowly but surely reversing my severe eczema, hypothyroidism, allergies, and chronic fatigue.

My parents, myself, and my children have been patients of Dr. Peterson for several years. He is an amazing doctor! The amount of time that he spend talking with us about our medical history and ALL of our symptoms was kind of shocking at first. He is incredibly thorough, both in talking to us as patients and in the testing that he does. I have been so impressed with the progress we have made because of his willingness to do testing.

After I had my daughter, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s. I felt awful at the time. I was exhausted, bloated, had trouble concentrating, had heart palpitations, dizzy spells, and generally felt like I was carrying a backpack of bricks with me all day, every day. When I came to Dr. Taylor’s office he implemented a thorough and detailed plan for me...

Amazing doctors that actually listen and care about your health!

... Not only am I feeling better first the first time in years, but I’m finally losing weight and inches in a healthy, sustainable way! They’ve helped me to heal my gut and we are taking my PCOS on head on - it’s amazing and something that conventional medicine has been spinning their wheels with for years! I cannot wait to see where this journey takes me and know that I am a client for life!
