Hey PG, this is nice to know, it makes u wonder y there isn't more awareness out there, esp with the drs!!
Once u have celebs dx, u will get more notice and more $ toward research!!
Thanks for posting this!
Didn't Leann Rimes battle chronic EBV or did she just have a bout of mono?
I thought I would pop this up because some of the homeopathic formulas that I swear have helped me so much, have all come from Germany. I'm thinking that this is why Cher goes to Germany for her EBV/CFS treatments and also why Farah Fawcett is being treated for cancer there as well.

Another medicine you can get in Germany (where I am based) that is generally not available in the US is Isoprinosine. This is an antiviral that is specially designed to treat Epstein-Barr. I took it for a few months and it managed to get my levels back to normal. It's otherwise known as Immunovir and, if I remember rightly, the active ingredient is inosine pranobex.
Fascinating information... thank you !
