Hi Elizabeth, the 14 year old child from Hertfordshire England you mention in your study was my daughter, if you require any more information about her case that may be helpful for you or anybody else going through this awful virus please dont hesitate to contact me. We have had three medical experts look into her case since her passing in May 2007, the outcome was Aimee was a tradegy, she was just very unlucky the virus passed to her liver and completely devastated her whole system. Her post mortem could find no reason for this or for the spleen rupture. From arriving at the hospital to her death was six hours, it was agreed that whatever hospital in this country she would have arrived at, the outcome would have unfortunately been the same.
Hi! Im a 19 year old living in the U.S. and I was just recently diagnosed with Epstein Barr Disease after weeks of tests and failed treatments. While my daily routines haven’t much changed, I find myself easily fatigued and just in a general feeling of malaise. To overcome the fatigue, my doctor suggested adding at least an extra hour of sleep to my nightly routine, adding more fresh fruits and veggies to my diet, and exercising daily. Thus far, ive seen minimal change. Is there anything else I can do?
Hi Alison,
Thanks for your post. I am sorry to hear you have been suffering
with fatigue and malaise. These symptoms are common
after mono.
Your priority should be to repair your adrenal glands with magnesium,
vitamin C and the B complex. The omega 3 oils like those
found in fish oils have also be shown in research trials to help fatigue.
A high protein / low carb diet free of sugar and refined carbohydrates
will help.
If your symptoms persist then consider doing a liver cleanse. The liver
is often sluggish or congested in cases of ongoing fatigue.
I hope this helps.

Hi Elizabeth,
Although I never have done this before, I used a lip gloss tester in sephora. It was not a busy store so little traffic. Noone used it immediately before me but may have in the hours before. I briefly touched the wand with my lips and immediate wiped it off. I now have mono. I have not been kissing or sharing food or drink with people.
How long can ebv survive in lip gloss? If some survives how likely is it that the virus transmits? Is it more likely that I got it from touching something and then my nose or mouth or by a sneeze or cough than by the tester?
Thank you.
J
Hi Jill,
Thanks for your post. The Epstein Barr virus is a fragile virus that cannot survive for long out of the human body. Unless someone had used
the lip gloss only a few minutes before you, then I doubt you picked up the infection from that. It is more likely that an infected person sneezed
or coughed near you and you picked it up from them.
I hope you start feeling better soon.
Elizabeth
Elizabeth,
Thank you for your reply. People can pick up the virus from a cough or sneeze from a random person with respiratory droplets small enough that a perosn would not feel a spray?
You think that is more likely than the lip gloss? I know noone else used in the minutes before I did.
I read that the virus can survive hours out of the body. Is that your understanding? Does that mean in a weakened state such that it is not likely to be contagious?
My ENT also suggested a handshake or touching something just sneezed on and then touching my nose.
I appreciate you advice.
J
Hi Jill,
Thanks for your post.
It is my understanding that the Epstein Barr virus is a very fragile
virus that does not survive for long outside the human body.
According to the Merck manual it is not very contagious.
(Unlike the flu virus which can survive a few hours and can cause
epidemics because it is so hardy). I have seen a post by Dr Greene
saying it survives a few hours out of the body but I assume it
is in a weakened state.
Yes you can get it from droplets from a sneeze or cough (which you
may not feel) or you can transfer it to your face if your hand has touched a
surface that has recently been contaminated.
Personally I think it is unlikely that you got it from the lip gloss unless
someone had used it recently.

Hi,
I have read all the posts on your site. I have searched the internet for weeks also. I am not finding a few answers so I wanted to ask you.
First off we eat a salad every day, a fruit smoothy I make every day, and mostly organic foods. We take flax oil, acidophilus, and a multivitamin, and vit c 100 mg and some extra b vitamins.
My daughter got sick back in december with swollen lymph nodes and exhaustion dizziness and headaches and a sore throat. It wasn’t until 6 months later that the doctor did blood work and it showed positive epstein bar with high levels and a negative mono. So the doctor said she probably had a positive mono recently. She said to rest for the summer. We did that but her levels of her white count are still low. She is 13. Her white count is still only 3.6 or 3600. She is mildy better with her energy level and nolonger has as many bouts with dizziness but she does have muscle pain in her neck and shoulders and back and the low white count still bothers me. I was going to try the epson salt bath like you suggested and maybe some ginger tea although we typically do peppermint teas. Do you have any other thoughts for us to try and get her white count back up? Does this sound typical to you lasting now 8 months with her being so young? Thank you so much, Bethany
Hi Bethany,
Thanks for your post. Sorry to hear your daughter has been ill for so long. It is not typical, but the virus can linger for months in some people.
You have added some great nutrients and healthy foods to her diet. I would also be looking at boosting her white blood cell count with a
higher dose of vitamin C (3 g a day), zinc (90mg) and an immune stimulant like olive leaf extract. For her fatigue and muscle pain, extra magnesium
would be of benefit. The ginger tea and Epsom salt baths can bring temporary relief.
If her back and neck pain does not improve, then it may be useful to see a chiropractor or osteopath who may be able to assist.
I hope this helps.

Hi Roland,
Sorry to hear you have had problems with your liver. A good naturopath or holistic doctor is important to help diagnose and monitor your condition.
Natural approaches which may be of benefit include milk thistle, globe artichoke, anti-inflammatory nutrients like vitamin C and zinc, a fresh food
diet and plenty of pure water. A regular liver cleanse will optimise your results.
There is an excellent e-book I often refer my patients to called “Hepatitis ABC Remedy”. It would be a good starting point for your condition.
Best Wishes
Elizabeth
hello elizabeth i have bought milk thistle herbs. it was a dried leafs in a pack. and also had pumpkin seeds as well for the zinc. i also bought ASTRAGALUS and ECHINACEA.
i want to know how i can use them.
pls guide me on how to use them.
For the pumpkin seeds what will be the dose for a day if am measuring with a teaspoon?
……………………………..
Also the milk thistle can i blend it in a powder state and how do i use it if am to measure it with a teaspoon as well?
…………………………..
Can blend the herbs in their state to powder state so that i know the right amount am using at each time in terms of dose.
…………………
again can i use the three herbs together at the same time.?
i have started blending vegetable juice every morning. red beet, 1/4 cabagge, 1 apple, 2 clove of garlic, hand full of parsely, onions, (3) carrots and dandelion leaves if get some fresh ones. is it a god start.
Hi Roland,
Thanks for your update. Glad you’ve started on the fresh juice and herbs. Yes the herbs can be taken together. The pumpkin seeds are good too – I would be doing a tablespoon a day.
Dried herbs are best infused. Usually you add 1-2 teaspoons of dried herbs per cup of water (unless directed otherwise on the packaging). Here is some information on hot and cold infusions:
Infusions: Usual Method for Most Dried Herbs
Infusions are a process of soaking herbs in water for a longer period of time than making a general herbal tea.
Hot Infusion : To make an infusion, boil water. Allow the boiled water to cool for a minute or two – this ensures the herbs will not be burnt/scorched. Usually use one or two heaped teaspoonsful of dried herbs per cup of water. Cover and let steep for 10- 30 minutes, strain and cool. Are taken as teas, added to the bath, used on furniture and floors, and to anoint the body. Seeds, resins, nuts, barks, roots and powdered herbs may be used in infusions, but to extract most goodness from these, will require to be simmered.
Cold infusion : Steep in cold water or cold milk for several hours. Wet, mashed herbs can be used internally as a tea or as poultices on the body.
I hope this gets you started.
Elizabeth
oh okay so i can blend them together in a powdered state and take it.?
……………………
the daily dose too will be one cup in a day. hope am right.
following research i have been doing. i found some information on MACROBIOTICS?
It calls for living a balanced life based on the two complementary, but opposite, natural forces of contraction and expansion. These forces are often referred to by their well-known and convenient oriental names of YIN AND YANG.
Yin is the force of expansion and yang is the force of contraction. These two complementary forces rule everything in this world. Think of a beating heart. Heart beats are actually nothing more that an oscillation between the two forces of contraction (yang) and expansion (yin). So are our breathing lungs. Even when we walk, our movement is due to the synchronized contraction and expansion of our varied muscles.
Why do some foods propagate an infection and others stop it?
Sodium and calcium are yang while potassium and magnesium are yin. Yang elements, being contractive, prevent and constrain bacteria from multiplying, while yin elements, being expansive, promote and enhance bacterial multiplication.
Therefore, foods rich in sodium and calcium, kill bacteria and stop an infection while foods that are rich in potassium and magnesium, increase the infection. This is a simple scientific example of macrobiotics.
My experience with my own diet and with thousands of patients who have visited my consultation office over the last few years from 32 different countries has shown me time and time again that sodium-rich and calcium-rich vegetables are the best antibiotics in the world. They are better that any antibiotic chemicals man has ever invented.

by this information guide me on the foods (fruits, vegetables and seeds) that are rich in sodium and calcium. so that i can focus much on it when choosing meals for the day.
THANK YOU.
Hi Roland,
Yes the powdered state blended is fine. I would be doing 1 or 2 cups a day.
Regards
Elizabeth
by the information i sent u previously guide me on the foods (fruits, vegetables and seeds) that are rich in sodium and calcium. so that i can focus much on it when choosing meals for the day.
Hi Roland,
Your calcium-rich foods are dairy foods, sardines, salmon (with bones), green leafy vegetables, almonds, figs, kelp, prunes, tofu and calcium-enriched soy milk. Sodium is found in most foods. High amounts are in sea salt.
Remember a balance of sodium and potassium is needed for good health. The same goes for calcium and magnesium. In my experience Epstein Barr patients need these nutrients to recover.
Let me know how you go.

Elizabeth, The vitamins and epson salt you suggested had great results. Within a few weeks she regained 50% of her energy level and now at almost 4 weeks she is now at about 85% which is just a miraculous change from when I first wrote to you.
The doctor won’t check her white count for another 6 months.
Thank you so much for alll your advice, Bethany
