“各类慢性疾病背后的真凶（一）- EB病毒（上）”（可直接点击阅读）详细揭示了EB病毒发展的四个阶段以及引起的上百种病症以及EB病毒如何传播，本篇将对引起EB病毒从一个阶段发展到另一个阶段的触发事件、EB病毒目前多达60多种的变体，以及如何摆脱EB病毒真正疗愈进行详细说明。
四．EB病毒的触发事件
触发事件是导致病毒快速发展到下一个阶段的导火索，但不是致病的原因，这也是为什么并不是所有的人经历同样的触发事件都会出现病症，因为每个人体内病毒状况各不相同。
虽然EB病毒的目标是从血液内进入肝脏、甲状腺等器官，最终攻击中枢神经系统，但这整个过程是有停顿的，因此一个人可能会经历有时状态好一些，有时变得糟糕。在不同时期，隐藏在体内的病毒会慢慢壮大其数量，等待机会向下一阶段发展，病毒等待的机会就是以下的触发事件。
你可能记得经历了一场离婚或者失去工作之后甲状腺就开始出现问题，这并不是巧合，而是因为这些人生困境会导致体内肾上腺素（情绪和压力激素）大量分泌，这是病毒的最佳食物，同时也给病毒提供了信号：免疫系统不处于最佳状态，是进攻的机会。
还有一些触发事件可能因为一个人拔掉了含汞填充物的补牙、接触了化学品、霉菌等，而给病毒提供了需要的燃料。很多时候，可能有好几件触发事件同时持续发生，例如童年经历了父母争吵离婚、成年后又出现交通事故、经历失眠等各种情况，所有的困难经历都会对我们的身体产生影响，导致病毒在不同的阶段一步步发展。
有些事件我们未必会注意到，例如我们未必知道自己身体缺乏某些关键的营养元素、可能不知道自己受到农药等影响。以下触发事件的影响从高到低排列：
1.霉菌：长期在有霉菌的环境中会大大削弱免疫系统，给病毒提供最佳机会。
2.含有汞填充物的补牙：许多补牙成分有汞。如果去除过去的补牙物时，要非常小心，千万不要一次性去除多个补牙，因为没有去除时，固化的汞处于稳定状态，但去除汞补牙物会导致汞在口腔内气化，重金属是EB病毒最爱的食物之一，这是为什么许多人会在看完牙医后出现各种病症的原因。关于重金属的危害以及我们如何在日常生活中接触到各类重金属，请见“健康的隐形杀手 – 重金属”。
3.其他形式的汞：汞是EB病毒最爱的食物，如果一个人经常食用海鲜，特别是大型鱼类诸如金枪鱼和剑鱼等，或者鱼油（鱼油内含有大量高度浓缩的汞，请见“杀人不见血的鱼油”阅读更多细节），相当于长期摄入大量汞，这会把免疫系统推到极限，给病毒创造最佳机会。而且汞会从一代传到下一代，使得许多慢性疾病看上去是遗传的，其实只是病毒+毒素导致疾病的组合在一代代人身上重演（请见“基因检测的真相”）.
4.锌：这是现在基本上每个人都缺乏的关键营养元素，如果指甲不光滑，有线条不平整等就是缺锌的表现，最严重的会出现指甲脆且易折断。锌是免疫系统最需要的营养元素，而且祖辈缺锌会导致一代代人缺锌越来越严重，锌是对抗病毒最强大的武器，体内长期缺锌给病毒创造了最佳机会。
5.维生素B12：这是另一样现在许多人都非常缺乏的关键营养元素。即使血液测试B12水平正常，不代表器官和神经系统内有充足的B12。许多人肝脏和神经系统高度缺乏B12，这会导致病毒快速发展。关于锌和维生素B12更多的信息，请见“关键营养元素和补充品的陷阱”。
6.农药、除草剂、DDT等：DDT等这些毒素会一代代遗传，因此许多看似是遗传的疾病，事实不过是病毒+毒素=疾病的公式在一代代人身上重演，如果明白了原因，这些都是可以改变的。农药、除草剂除了每天我们吃的东西上有，公园、高尔夫球场等都是洒了很多杀虫剂、除草剂的地方，如果带孩子去公园玩，请注意不要让孩子直接接触草地，这些喷洒过药的草坪都会使皮肤接触杀虫剂、除草剂等。或者在刚撒完药的公园内散步，都会影响到我们的健康。空气清新剂、香水和古龙水的成分和杀虫剂、除草剂的成分是一样的，长期使用相当于给自己喷洒了农药。
7.家里杀虫剂：家中使用任何杀虫剂都是对身体有危害的，长期使用会使得毒素累积导致病毒进一步发展。
8.家庭成员去世：这些创伤事件都会导致大量肾上腺素分泌，大大削弱免疫系统，情绪和压力激素即肾上腺素是病毒最爱的食物之一，会导致许多症状的进一步发展。
9.创伤、背叛以及各种持续负面情绪：离婚、分手、生活各种不如意等各类创伤事件以及长期持续的负面情绪都会导致大量肾上腺素分泌，大大削弱免疫系统，加速病毒进一步发展。
10. 照顾生病的病人：看着家人的痛苦并照料他们，体会他们的痛苦，这都会削弱免疫系统，给病毒提供机会进一步发展。
11. 药品：抗生素（含有大量塑料成分）和镇静剂类药物(benzodiazepines)等各类化学药物都是病毒最爱的食物，长期使用会给病毒发展创造最佳机会。
12. 过量药物使用：过多药物服用对于免疫系统是非常大的压力，给予病毒最佳的发展机会。
13. 身体激素水平变化：青春期、怀孕、生育等阶段都是激素大量分泌的时候；这是病毒最爱的食物，大量激素在血液内给病毒最佳机会发展，在激素发生巨大变化的阶段，免疫系统容易处于削弱状态，这是为什么青春期和生育之后许多人感受到健康状况变化（例如青春期发痘痘是因为链球菌趁免疫系统削弱的时候造成病症）。
14. 毒品和娱乐药品：削弱免疫系统，并给病毒提供了最佳食物。
15. 经济压力：当一个人面临巨大经济压力时，恐惧、担忧、羞辱等各种负面情绪导致肾上腺素大量分泌，削弱免疫系统，给病毒创造进一步发展的机会。
16. 身体物理受伤：扭伤、骨折、交通事故或者其他身体部位受伤这些事件会给予病毒进一步发展的机会。而且许多时候这些事件会伴随大量药物的使用，进一步恶化潜在病症。
17. 专业地毯清理：许多地毯本身就都有各种毒素，专门的地毯清理剂包含高度有毒的合成化学品，其实就是在毒素上面再累积一层毒素。长期呼吸这些气体会给病毒创造最佳机会进一步发展。
18. 装修：刚装修好的家或者办公室中的化学挥发物会给病毒创造最佳机会。
19. 在有红藻和污染物的水中游泳：许多海边或者湖面上的红藻会剥夺水中氧气，或者在污染的海或湖内，细菌过量生长，削弱免疫系统，造成病毒进一步发展。
20. 失眠：长期睡眠问题会给予病毒最佳进攻的机会，许多睡眠问题本身也是病毒导致的，更多关于失眠和睡眠问题请点击“睡眠和失眠问题的原因和疗愈”。
21. 昆虫叮咬：蜜蜂、蜘蛛等叮咬可能会导致炎症，削弱免疫系统，导致病毒进一步发展。
当我们明白什么导致我们生病、以及病毒是如何一步步发展的时候，主动权就回到了我们手上。这些触发事件并不是导致生病的原因，EB病毒是导致生病的原因，触发事件只是触发事件。这就是为什么可能一对夫妻，都住在有霉菌的环境里，但太太生病了，先生却没事，其中关键区别就在于太太有病毒，而先生没有。病毒就像是火，触发事件就像是浇在火上的汽油，使得火变得更热，传播的更快。
五．EB病毒的不同变体
现代医学了解的EB病毒只是60多种EB病毒变体中的两种，而且是比较温和的种类。EB病毒仍然在不断变异产生新的变体。就目前为止，可以分为六组，每组有十多种。现代医学所称的Epstein-Barr HHV-4只是对EB病毒的总称，但并不了解EB病毒的各种变体以及引起的问题。
第一组EB病毒是最古老的，也是最温和的。这一组的EB病毒需要几十年可能才会从一个阶段发展到另一个阶段，其症状可能到70岁或者80岁时才会有感觉，导致的也可能就是背疼。它们甚至永远停留在身体某器官内，而不会发展到第三或者第四阶段。
第二组EB病毒从一个阶段发展到另一个阶段需要的时间比第一组要短，可能在一个人50岁到60岁时会有感觉。这组EB病毒一般部分会停留在甲状腺，另一部分会导致温和的神经发炎。目前医学所了解的EB病毒是第二组里面的两种。
第三组EB病毒从一个阶段发展到另一个阶段需要的时间比第二组要进一步缩短，因此其症状可能在一个人40岁左右就有感觉。而且这组病毒会完全离开甲状腺，对中央神经系统进行攻击，该组病毒会导致一系列诸如关节疼痛、疲劳、心悸、耳鸣、头晕等症状。
第四组EB病毒会导致一个人在30岁左右就出现症状，因为其对神经系统极具攻击性，会导致诸如纤维肌痛（fibromyalgia）、慢性疲劳症、脑雾（brain fog）、脑子昏沉困惑、焦虑、情绪波动以及所有第一组到第三组EB病毒会引起的症状。这组病毒还会引起创伤群侯症，即使一个人没有经历任何创伤事件，其实只是因为病毒导致神经系统炎症而引发的。
第五组EB病毒会导致一个人在20多岁就出现症状。这是非常具有攻击性的病毒，因为它们在一个人刚要开始独立生活的时候发作。它们会导致所有第一组到第四组的症状，同时恐惧和焦虑的情绪会使得它们更加强大。一般医生无法检查出身体的问题，很可能会让病人去看心理医生。
最糟糕的是第六组EB病毒，这一组攻击的是孩子。除了上述第一至第五组的症状以外，第六组会导致被诊断为白血病、病毒性脑膜炎、红斑狼疮等的各种问题。而且因为病毒会抑制免疫系统，会导致发疹子、四肢乏力、以及严重的神经疼痛。
各种不同的EB病毒变体是为什么每个人的症状各有不同的原因，例如甲状腺肿大是第一组EB病毒导致的；甲亢和弥漫性毒性甲状腺肿（格里夫氏症graves）是第四和第五组内的病毒变体导致的，这些极具攻击性的病毒会导致甲状腺为了自我保护生成多余的甲状腺组织，导致过量的甲状腺激素产生。第二至第六组中的EB病毒变体都可能会引起良性肿瘤、结节、囊肿等。
第四和第五组中的一些EB病毒变体是引起多种癌症（甲状腺癌症、肝癌、乳腺癌、肺癌、胰腺癌、结肠癌、前列腺癌、女性生殖系统癌症、白血病等各种癌症）以及多发性硬化症等各种疾病的真凶，但是光有EB病毒是不足以引起癌症的，一个人体内需要有大量喂养EB病毒的毒素长期存在才会导致癌症，简单地说就是病毒+毒素（病毒的食物）=癌症。如果一个人体内有毒素，但是没有病毒，也不会导致癌症。这就是为什么两个同样抽了三十年的烟的人，一个得了肺癌，另一个什么事情都没有，两个人摄入的毒素是一样的，但是一个人有导致肺癌的病毒，而另一个人没有。更多关于癌症的信息，请见“癌症的真相（上）、（中）、（下）”。
EB病毒是这个世纪的不为人知的流行病，在未来20年会发展到上百种的变体，而且新的变体越来越具攻击性，而且攻击的对象是年轻人，许多人可能症状严重到无法上完大学，只有知道真相和引起问题的原因，才是真正的解决之道。这些信息都为了让我们更有觉识，真正的危险在于我们不了解危险存在，一旦了解之后，完全可以采取措施避免或改善。
五．摆脱EB病毒
由于我们每个人饮食结构、体内的病毒和毒素组合、肝脏的健康程度、情绪状况等都各不相同，没有一个人症状是完全相同的。我们生活在毒素和病毒大爆发的年代，我们可以做的最好也是最重要的事情就是专注于以下的疗愈步骤和疗愈食物，将病毒和毒素从体内尽快排出。
以下的疗愈步骤包含了疗愈的根本元素，即杀死病毒并排出毒素，同时也是身体的重启按钮。不管目前的饮食结构如何，加入该疗愈疗程对于杀死致病的各种病毒、排出各类病毒和毒素、恢复肾上腺疲劳、重建肝脏，给身体补充充分的葡萄糖、矿物盐、补水和电解质都至关重要。
这几个步骤是：
1.饮食中避免的病原体食物：蛋、各种乳制品、小麦制品和其他含麸质谷物、芥花油（canola oil）、鱼油、玉米（请点击每项了解更多内容）。
所有这些食物在过去的一百年都逐步变成了病原体食物，持续摄入会导致病毒大量繁衍，请记住，病毒的食物越多，发展的越快，数量也会变得越大，这一切都会让任何的疗愈变得困难。
2.三餐基础上加入早晨空腹500ml纯西芹汁（喝完20分钟后再吃早饭）、白天逐步摄入1L柠檬水（一个柠檬汁加一升水）、晚上喝500ml纯黄瓜汁。
坚持每天空腹喝西芹汁是我们可以为自己健康做的最棒的一件事。西芹汁是这个时代最神奇的疗愈食物，因为它具有强大的杀死病原体并排出各类毒素的能力；柠檬水和黄瓜汁不仅能够有效地将体内毒素清除出体外，而且是身体最佳的补水元素（缺乏水分也会导致病症）和丰富的电解质来源。
3.三餐間加入大量水果和绿叶蔬菜色拉的组合或蔬果汁
各类蔬菜和水果是疗愈的关键元素之一，能够给予身体最关键营养元素，也是最佳抗压食物，因为其所含的葡萄糖是大脑在高压时高温状态的最佳冷却剂，即抗压和平稳情绪的重要元素。另一方面，绿叶蔬菜、水果和各种蔬菜都能支持清除体内的病毒和有毒重金属。建议的三餐間蔬菜和水果组合可以参考“16种小食”。
现在整个世界都反对糖分。白砂糖、甜品的糖分、玉米糖浆、小麦制品、饼干、蛋糕等低质量的糖分的确对健康非常不利，但将水果中的糖分和这些糖分混为一谈就相当于说“所有中国人都是坏人一样”的错误。
实际上，真正的问题出在糖和脂肪的结合。现在全世界无论哪个国家，当今的饮食全都是糖分和脂肪的组合：米饭加鸡块(米饭的糖分和鸡肉的脂肪)、炸薯条（土豆糖分和油脂）、披萨和三明治（面包的碳水化合物和肉类的脂肪）等等。
当一顿饭中脂肪和糖分被同时被摄入时，血液中的脂肪会阻碍细胞无法打开吸收糖分，糖分由于无法被吸收而停留在血液中，导致血糖升高的表现。因此糖只是信使，反应的是体内过多的脂肪，然而我们却选择了将信使杀掉，由于没有警报声因此认为问题得到了好转。
这就是为什么将糖分去掉后，似乎会看到改善，那是因为糖分只是信使，去除了信使只是切断了身体想要给我们传递的信息，但这并不是真正的解决方案，因为饮食中依然有大量的脂肪给身体造成各种问题。
如果糖分真的是导致糖尿病的原因，那为什么所有糖尿病人被建议停止摄入糖分之后无法得到好转呢（具体糖尿病详细细节请见“二型糖尿病的原因和疗愈（上）和（下）”）。去除低质量的糖分是对的，但是去除健康的果糖只会让问题越来越糟糕，减少脂肪即高蛋白的摄入，才是真正疗愈之道。
请避免餐后摄入水果，因为如上所述，脂肪会阻碍果糖的吸收。在一天中分离脂肪和糖的摄入一个很好的方法是在三餐間摄入水果，或者在餐前20分钟吃点水果(同时可以加一些绿叶蔬菜、黄瓜或西芹棒)，这会给予葡萄糖被吸收的的时间。请尽量避免脂肪与糖分一起摄入。
4. 进行重金属排毒：野生蓝莓、香菜、螺旋藻、红皮藻和大麦草汁粉
重金属不仅毒性极高，而且也是病原体最爱食物，这些食物不仅帮助排出致病的关键-重金属，而且能够给身体提供最需要的营养元素。关于重金属排毒和上述五种食物的更多详细细节，请点击阅读“健康的隐形杀手-重金属”。
5. 将油脂和脂肪（荤食、素油、坚果等）的摄入比例降低25% - 50%：一个很好的方法是中午之前完全不碰任何油脂和荤食（无荤食、素油、坚果、牛油果、椰奶等油脂的饮食），让身体得以在中午以前集中精力排毒是最能够帮助肝脏的方法；
尝试每天吃一顿荤食。甚至可以尝试一周有一天不碰任何荤食或油脂。帮助身体获得充分的氧气疗愈对于健康至关重要（你肯定体会过吃完充满油脂的午餐后下午昏昏欲睡的感受，其实这是因为饮食中的油脂剥夺了氧气）。
如果想要了解上述排毒净化法每个步骤的更多详细细节，请点击阅读“90天净化疗愈法”，其中还列出了可能出现的短暂排毒反应。
如果希望自己能够更快地疗愈，或者病症已经持续多年，或面对的是极具攻击性的EB病毒，大家还可以选择定期加入“增强版排毒净化法”或者“拯救肝脏3：6：9净化法”,这些完全无油脂的净化法可以安全有效地帮助身体将多年累积的毒素和油脂排出体外，从而大大改善我们的身体和心理健康状况，可以选择每个月或者每个季度进行。所有这些努力都会将我们的健康状态提升到一个崭新的高度。
一个人如果选择避免上述喂养病毒的食物，并开始增加水果和蔬菜的摄入，疗愈之旅已经开始，当准备好给身体全面排毒时，上述任何疗愈疗程会让身体彻底重启。每个人的情况不一样，因此没有绝对的标准，可以根据自己身体情况和排毒速度选择。
记得写下需要避免或者需要多吃的食物列表带在身边时时提醒自己。如果你的生活很忙碌，很难能够每天坚持，那就每天能做多少做多少。如果你每天到处奔波，那就早上出门前和晚上回家后喝，出差时记得多带几个柠檬。如果无法进行100%疗程内的内容，不用担心，只要你坚持一部分，身体就在疗愈，只是以另一种速度而已。即使有几天无法进行，也没有关系，在能够做到的时候坚持下去就可以。
如果你的疗愈过程需要一年到两年时间，请不要灰心。一旦开始疗程，即使症状依然存在，身体的疗愈就已经开始了。如果EB病毒存在已经很多年，或者是一种特别具有攻击性的EB病毒时，许多症状的疗愈是需要时间的。请务必坚持下去，因为当身体痊愈时，你就会知道这个疗愈之旅有多么值得。
有一点特别要注意的是：排毒净化疗程不是饥饿疗法或者减肥疗程。你需要充足食物给身体足够的能量，排毒期间最佳方法是每隔两个小时吃点蔬菜和水果的组合（请见“16种小食”），让身体有机会自我修复。整个过程是为了饿死病毒，不是饿死我们。整个疗程是为了给身体提供充分的营养能够修复身体，使得症状消失。记得提前准备，随身带着吃的东西，以避免饿的时候吃了不该吃的东西。
你可能会惊讶疗程居然如此简单，请不要以为简单没有用。许多人尝试以后很快就见到了效果。请一定自己尝试一段时间后再下结论。100%的纯西芹汁是每个疗程最重要的部分：最碱性的食物、充满了各种酶、增强电解质、修复DNA、平衡血糖、杀菌等等。疗程中的其他步骤也一样。许多症状已经很久的人因为尝试了各种疗法，其消化系统、神经系统等各类系统都很敏感，整个身体都极其敏感。如果能够每天坚持，你会看到很大的变化。
如果你是排毒特别快的人，出现了许多排毒症状，你不需要一下子做所有疗程内的内容，而是选择一部分加入日常生活，并避免不该吃的食物，然后等到身体适应之后再逐步加入其它内容。如果你被告知身体很难排毒，这是因为淋巴和肝脏内有许多病毒垃圾造成堵塞。最好的解决办法就是坚持上述的几个步骤，这是一种温和且补水的疗法排出身体的毒素，而不造成过多的排毒症状。
排毒期间你可能会觉得疲劳（身体修复会消耗能量）、想吃垃圾食品（这是以前垃圾食品在排出时会有的反应，如果这时候摄入的话，会导致这些毒素重新回到器脏内，不利于毒素排出）以及其他各种症状，这取决于每个人原来的身体状况。每个人的身体系统、毒素组合等就和我们的DNA一样，每个人都不同，因此没有一定的排毒准则，如果觉得排毒反应很大的话，可以逐步进行，等身体适应以后慢慢加入其他元素。
各种水果与蔬菜都能帮助我们的身体摆脱EB病毒的影响，以下列出一些最重要的疗愈食物，请纳入日常饮食中（以重要性高低为排列顺序），请尽量每天至少吃三种，越多越好，轮流吃不同的食物，帮助身体在一、两个星期之内能摄取到这所有的食物（关于更多帮助疗愈的食物信息和更多细节，请见“对抗EB病毒的疗愈食物”）。请点击阅读对抗EB病毒的“疗愈果汁”、“疗愈果昔”、“疗愈茶”、“疗愈汤品”以及“重金属排毒果昔”以了解如何简单有效地将以下疗愈食物纳入日常饮食中。

The Epstein-Barr Virus Epidemic (II)
TYPES OF EPSTEIN-BARR
As I’ve noted earlier, there are over 60 varieties of the Epstein-Barr virus. That number is so large because EBV has existed for well over 100 years. It’s had generations of people to move through, mutating and elevating its various hybrids and strains in that time. The strains can be organized into six groups of escalating severity, with roughly ten types per group.
EBV Group 1 is the oldest and mildest. These versions of the virus typically take years, even decades, to transition from one stage to another. Their effects might not be noticeable until you’re in your 70s or 80s, and then result in little more than back pain. They might even remain in your organs and never reach Stage Three or Stage Four.
EBV Group 2 moves from stage to stage a bit quicker than Group 1; you might notice symptoms in your 50s or 60s. These varieties may partially linger in the thyroid and send only some of their virus cells out to inflame nerves, resulting in relatively mild nerve inflammation. The only variety of EBV that medical communities are aware of is in this group.
EBV Group 3 will transition between stages faster than Group 2, so its symptoms might be noticeable around age 40. Also, these viruses fully complete Stage Four—that is, they entirely leave the thyroid to latch onto nerves. Viruses in this group can cause a variety of ills, including joint pain, fatigue, heart palpitations, tinnitus, and vertigo.
EBV Group 4 will create noticeable problems as early as age 30. Its aggressive actions on nerves can result in symptoms associated with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, brain fog, confusion, anxiety, moodiness, and everything caused by Groups 1 to 3. This group can also create symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder, even if a person never underwent any trauma beyond getting inflamed by the virus.
EBV Group 5 will create noticeable issues as early as age 20. This is an especially nasty form of the virus because it strikes just when a young person is setting out to start an independent life. It can create all the problems of Group 4, and it feeds off negative emotions such as fear and worry. Doctors who can’t find anything wrong, and perceive these patients as young and healthy, often declare “it’s all in your head” and send them to psychologists to convince them what’s actually happening in their bodies isn’t real. Unless, that is, a patient happens upon a doctor who’s up on the Lyme disease trend, in which case the patient will probably walk away with a Lyme misdiagnosis.
The worst type, however, is EBV Group 6, which can strike hard even in young children. In addition to everything Group 5 does, Group 6 can create symptoms so severe that they’re misdiagnosed as leukemia, viral meningitis, lupus, and more. Plus it suppresses the immune system, which can lead to a wide variety of symptoms including rashes, weakness in the limbs, and severe nerve pain.
HEALING FROM THE EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS
Because it’s very easy to catch and hard to detect, and can cause a number of mysterious symptoms, you might understandably find the Epstein-Barr virus overwhelming and its effects disheartening.
The good news is that if you carefully and patiently follow the steps detailed in this section, and in Part IV of the book, you can heal. You can recover your immune system, free yourself of EBV, rejuvenate your body, gain full control over your health, and move on with your life.
How long the process takes varies for each individual and depends on myriad factors. Some people conquer the virus in as little as three months. However, a more typical period is a full year. And there are some people who need 18 months or more to destroy EBV.
Healing Foods
Certain fruits and vegetables can help your body rid itself of EBV and heal from its effects. The following are the best ones to incorporate into your diet (listed in rough order of importance). Try to eat at least three of these foods per day—the more the better—rotating your consumption so that in a given week or two, you get all of these foods into your system.

Michelle and her husband, Matthew, both had high-paying corporate jobs. Michelle was a star at her firm and made a point of going to work throughout her pregnancy, leaving only when she was about to go into labor.
After giving birth, Michelle instantly fell in love with her new son, Jordan. She couldn’t have been happier. I have it all now, she thought, a career I love, and a family I love even more.
But Michelle’s bright future started to dim when she was struck with a fatigue she couldn’t shake. No matter how many vitamins she took or how much she exercised, she felt run-down all the time. So Michelle visited her doctor. After giving her a physical, he dismissed her concerns: “You look fine to me. It’s natural for a new baby to be exhausting. Just get more sleep and don’t worry about it.”
Michelle took care to sleep more. After another week, she felt worse than ever. Suspecting a post-pregnancy issue, Michelle went to see her OB/GYN. This doctor drew her blood for a number of tests, including several for thyroid disease. When the lab results came in, the OB/GYN correctly diagnosed Michelle as having Hashimoto’s—i.e., her thyroid was no longer producing the level of hormones needed.
Michelle was put on thyroid medication to get her hormone levels back to normal. This made her feel a little better . . . though not quite as well as she had before her pregnancy. She’d been aiming to return to work a month after having her son, and now she had to postpone those plans.
After about six months, Michelle’s fatigue was back—and much more severe. That’s when Michelle’s troubles really began. Soon she had trouble taking care of Jordan. Matthew agreed to help out until she felt better.
Instead, Michelle grew worse. On top of being tired, she started to feel aches and pains, especially in her joints. Michelle returned to her OB/GYN, who ran another set of tests. The lab results showed nothing wrong. Thanks to the thyroid medication Michelle was continuing to take, her thyroid levels were perfect. So were all her vitamin and mineral levels. The OB/GYN was baffled.
Suspecting that Michelle’s symptoms were related to her thyroid condition, the OB/GYN referred Michelle to a top endocrinologist (a doctor who specializes in hormonal issues). The specialist conducted a thorough thyroid profile, and tested Michelle’s other hormone levels from a variety of angles. He ended up telling Michelle she had “mild adrenal fatigue.”
There was some small truth to that. Michelle’s adrenal glands were being strained by the Epstein-Barr virus, which her pregnancy had triggered and which was now inflaming her thyroid.
The endocrinologist told Michelle to take it easy and avoid stress. On his recommendation, Michelle handed off the freelance consulting projects she’d been working on from home.
In reality, Michelle’s job had nothing to do with her condition. Her source of stress wasn’t her work, but the illness that was eating away at her life . . . and her seeming helplessness to understand it or do anything about it.
Michelle continued to get worse. Her knees flared up and swelled, making it difficult to walk. She bought knee supports . . . and decided to pursue help more aggressively. Michelle’s intuition told her an invader was present in her body, so she went to see an infectious disease specialist. This would be precisely the right thing to do—if infectious disease doctors actually knew how to recognize and treat past infections of EBV.
Unfortunately, they don’t. So after running an exhausting battery of tests and noticing that Michelle had an antibody from a past EBV infection, he dismissed it as a problem right away. This doctor told her she was physically fit. He added that she might be depressed, and offered to refer her to a psychiatrist.
Infuriated at being made to feel she was crazy for trying to address what she deeply sensed was a real physical problem, Michelle (painfully) rose and strode out of the room.
With increasing desperation, Michelle now visited doctors across the spectrum. They put her through ultrasounds, X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, and loads of blood tests. She was told she had Candida, fibromyalgia, MS, lupus, Lyme disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. None of it was right. She was put on immunosuppressant drugs, antibiotics, and loads of different supplements. None of the treatments helped.
Michelle became an insomniac, suffered heart palpitations, and developed chronic vertigo that caused dizziness and nausea. She dropped from 140 to 115 pounds.
Soon, Michelle was spending most of her days in bed. She was wasting away. Her husband, Matthew, was terrified.
After Michelle had spent four years exploring all other options, and based on the recommendation of the naturopath Michelle visited, Matthew called my office as a last resort. When my assistant answered, Matthew burst into tears. “What’s wrong?” she asked.
He replied, “My wife is dying.”
For our first appointment Matthew planned to do most of the talking while sitting next to Michelle, who was in bed. Less than a minute after Matthew started telling me Michelle’s story, I interrupted him. “It’s okay,” I said. “Spirit tells me it’s an aggressive form of the Epstein-Barr virus.”
The virus’s neurotoxin was inflaming all of Michelle’s joints. Her insomnia and foot pain were the result of her phrenic nerves being perpetually inflamed. Her vertigo stemmed from EBV’s neurotoxin inflaming her vagus nerve. And her heart palpitations were being caused by buildup of EBV virus corpses and viral byproduct in her mitral valve.
“Don’t worry,” I told Michelle and Matthew. “I know how to beat this virus.”
Michelle exclaimed, with as much joyful energy as she could muster, “I knew it was a virus!”
It was the first critical step in her recovery.
I recommended a blend of celery juice and papaya, which is great for boosting someone in Michelle’s condition (e.g., low weight, not being able to eat, high number of virus cells). I followed that up with the recommendations for healing in this chapter, including a list of helpful supplements, as well as the recommendations from Part IV, “How to Finally Heal.”
The cleanse diet immediately stopped feeding Michelle’s EBV. Within a week, there was a noticeable reduction of the swelling in her knees. The L-lysine shut down Michelle’s vertigo. And the other supplements started killing virus cells and/or dampening the production of new ones.
In three months, Michelle was regularly up and walking again. In nine months, she was once again working part-time at her challenging corporate job.
And in 18 months, Michelle’s pain and suffering were just a memory—she’d taken control over EBV. Today, Michelle has fully recovered her health. She’s returned to juggling her job and her family energetically and happily.
Case History: An End to CFS Confinement
Cynthia was a mother of two. Shortly after her youngest, Sophie, was born, Cynthia began experiencing fatigue. It took everything she had to push through the day, and she relied on increasing her coffee intake just to function. Within a few years, she had to quit her part-time job at a clothing store because long naps were taking up her afternoons. She needed the rest so she could be strong enough to meet her kids at the school bus, make dinner, and help them with their homework.
Cynthia noticed herself becoming irritable, and arguments arose often with her husband, Mark, who didn’t understand why she was tired all the time. After all, the tests that Cynthia’s doctor had run indicated nothing was wrong. The doctor said she was healthy and concluded that maybe she was just unhappy or depressed.
This made Cynthia want to walk out of the doctor’s office without another word. Any blue mood she experienced was because she was tired all the time and could barely function—not the other way around. Yet her husband sided with the doctor and became increasingly resentful toward her.
The ongoing stress put Cynthia on overload; life felt impossible to keep up with. She couldn’t find the energy to brush her hair, and the mere thought of running the vacuum cleaner or washing the dishes exhausted her. From the outside, it looked like she was giving up on life. Mark got angrier—he was talking separation now. “I work too long and hard at the office all day to worry about taking care of things at home,” he said. “This is supposed to be your department.”
Cynthia felt more pressure than ever to get better, but the worries about her marriage and what would happen to her children put her fatigue at an all-time high. She could barely drive to the grocery store or make dinner for her family. All she could do was lie in bed or on the couch.
This is what a moderate-to-severe case of undiagnosed chronic fatigue syndrome can look like. When Cynthia called me, her life had fallen apart. Her husband had left her, and her daughter, Sophie, now seven years old, and her son, Ryan, age nine, had lost their family unit. What her doctor had misconstrued as a psychiatric condition was an actual physical problem: Epstein-Barr virus. The same story applies to far too many women.
I set to work informing Cynthia that she had a case of EBV that her doctor had missed. With an emphasis on getting her viral load under control and addressing nutritional deficiencies, I laid out the background on CFS that I described earlier in this chapter, and I explained the protocols outlined here and in Part IV. Like her life depended on it—because it did—Cynthia followed Spirit’s advice.
Slowly, Cynthia began to get better. Her adrenals recovered normal function, and her stamina returned. Once again, she could tend to her children, run errands, keep the house in shape, and do her hair—all without the gallons of coffee she used to rely on. Cynthia finally had the energy to return to work, too.
After witnessing this change in his wife, Mark called Cynthia and asked her out to dinner—his mother would look after the kids, he said. When they arrived at the fancy restaurant, which had long ago been the deli where they had flirted as college students, Mark told Cynthia he’d called ahead and ordered a special healing-food meal for her—and that he’d ordered the same for himself, out of solidarity. Over sundried-tomato hummus and vegetable nori rolls, Mark didn’t exactly cry (some things would always stay the same), but he did have to dab at his eyes as he apologized for how he’d behaved.
Cynthia was quiet, then answered with a playful smile: “You can make it up to me.”
After a few weeks of testing the waters—Cynthia wanted to make sure Mark didn’t just want her back as a security blanket and housekeeper—they moved back in together as a family. Mark now wakes up early every Saturday morning so he can get to the farmers’ market before they run out of salad greens.
Case History: Fibro Pain Forgotten
Stacy, a 41-year-old part-time receptionist in a doctors’ office, had been married to Rob, who worked at a car dealership, for over 15 years. She never had the energy to keep up with the outings Rob planned with their daughters. In fact, she couldn’t remember ever feeling that well. She always felt slightly achy and more tired than her friends seemed to be. And since she’d given birth to her second child, who was now 11, the fatigue and muscle soreness had been more pronounced.
One weekend while Rob and the kids were at a museum, she went for a longer walk than usual—she’d decided to push herself to lose some unwanted weight she’d gained in the last few years. Afterward, she noticed an unusual pain in her left knee. Thinking back to her college basketball coach’s advice to “walk it off,” she tried to ignore it.
It didn’t go away. Two weeks later, she scheduled time for an exam with a doctor at her office. Stacy limped out of the appointment with a prescription for an MRI—which revealed nothing visibly wrong with her knee.
Because Stacy’s balance was off from leaning on her “good” leg, she found herself tripping easily—stairs, curbs, and corners of rugs had become major obstacles. Then her right knee started to hurt even though it hadn’t gotten injured in any of her falls, and exams showed nothing amiss. Stacy’s worry escalated to fear—something was really wrong. The doctors in her office ruled out rheumatoid arthritis, though, and guessed that the extra 30 pounds Stacy was carrying were to blame for her pain.
Soon Stacy started to hurt in other places. Now she couldn’t raise her hands over her head without her arms and neck hurting. She was unable to work anymore, and depression set in as she started to spend hours at home on the sofa. At night, Rob would make dinner for the family and send their daughter to serve Stacy her plate of food on the couch.
A specialist concluded that Stacy had fibromyalgia. When Stacy asked what caused it, the doctor responded, “We don’t know. It’s what we think is oversensitive nerves. This should help, though.” She handed Stacy a prescription for a medicine popular for treating depression and fibromyalgia pain. At her next visit to the specialist, when Stacy reported no progress, the doctor referred her to me.
After I explained what her fibromyalgia really was, that the real cause was the Epstein-Barr virus and that it had been in her system since childhood, Stacy recalled having a bout of mononucleosis at age 14. She finally felt she had a real answer. She understood now that poor diet, nutritional deficiencies, and increased stress had triggered the formerly dormant EBV to surface as fibromyalgia. Not knowing what was wrong with her—the powerlessness—had been scarier than knowing the true cause; the mystery of her mystery illness had been the hardest part. Now she had direction and felt confident in her ability to heal.
Within six months of our first call, following the same suggestions I describe in this chapter and Part IV, “How to Finally Heal,” she was free from fibromyalgia, back to work, and living life again. She told me she felt happier and healthier than ever, and that she’d planned the next family outing—apple picking at an organic orchard.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
The first step of the healing process is to know the cause of your suffering is Epstein-Barr—and to realize it’s not your fault.
Your EBV-related health problems aren’t the result of anything you did wrong or any moral failing. You didn’t make this happen, and you’re in no way to blame. You did not manifest this; you did not attract this. You’re a vibrant, wonderful human being and you have every God-given right to heal. You deserve to heal.
Much of EBV’s effectiveness stems from hiding in the shadows so that neither you nor your body’s immune system can sense its presence. This not only allows it to commit its mayhem unchecked, it leads to negative emotions such as guilt, fear, and helplessness.
Now things are different for you. If you have EBV, you now have a mind-body understanding of what’s causing your health problems. From this alone, your immune system will strengthen and the virus will naturally weaken. So when it comes to fighting EBV, in a very real sense, knowledge is power.
