Epstein Barr Virus Doctor
Finding a caring, reputable Epstein Barr virus doctor can sometimes be an uphill battle.
Some doctors still show ignorance and even contempt of this illness, especially when it is in the chronic form. Other doctors still believe it is a psychological problem or “all in your head”.
Many doctors will recommend prescription drugs that may mask your symptoms temporarily but do nothing to get rid of the problem. The majority of chronic EBV patients end up on a medical merry-go-round, seeing doctor after doctor after doctor. They end up confused, frustrated and getting sicker and sicker by the day.
When EBV is diagnosed, an understanding health professional doctor who offers support and hope for a recovery is essential. You need to find a practitioner who believes in boosting your immune system through a healthy diet, nutritional supplementation, graded exercise, restoration of normal sleep patterns and strategies to overcome the frustration, depression and social isolation that the illness so commonly causes. A holistic doctor or a qualified naturopath are both good options.
So where do you find a reputable Epstein Barr virus doctor? The first step is to ask locally. Try your health food shop, natural therapy centre or pharmacy to see if they can recommend someone.
The other option is to have a look at the recommended doctor’s list on;
http://www.co-cure.org/Good-Doc.htm
This website is for Chronic Fatigue and immune-suppressed patients so the doctors listed here are well qualified to help EBV patients. There are doctors from over 15 countries on this list.
Lastly you can check out forum entries where EBV sufferers discuss the success they have had with Epstein Barr virus doctors. A good forum is on the Chronic Epstein Barr Virus Support site:
which has a discussion thread on “Finding a Doctor”.
The help and support of a holistic Epstein Barr virus doctor or qualified naturopath is essential in order to monitor your progress and ensure future relapses do not occur.
