I had Chronic Epstein Barr Virus for a long time (years). When I had my 17 amalgams removed my Epstein Barr Virus went away. I still do have some symptoms of chronic fatigue. Some of it is attributable to allergies, some to adrenal fatigue, and some to candida, (all probably caused from my metal toxicity) -- at least that's what I've uncovered for myself so far.

I just thought I'd share that even before my amalgam removal when my Epstein Barr levels were so high (I had daily fevers, sore throats, swollen glands, dizzy spells, overall weakness, high CRP blood levels, etc., etc.), I started taking a supplement that had Cat's Claw in it. Cat's Claw is apparently supposed to help in fighting EBV. The supplement I took was by Garden of Life called RM-10. It also had medicinal mushrooms in it. But, I figured out from experimenting that it was the Cat's Claw in particular that helped alleviate my EBV symptoms and fatigue.

I haven't looked around to see if there might be a better form or manufacturer of the Cat's Claw. Some people with candida can't tolerate mushrooms in any form (even the medicinal mushrooms) and they might want to avoid a supplement like RM-10. So finding Cat's Claw alone might be better.

Anyway, I just thought I'd post this in case someone wants to research this and it might be of help. Cat's Claw really, really helped alleviate some of my symptoms. I was surprised about this too because I'm so darn sensitive to herbs.
