I was thinking about what you said regarding the epstein-barr virus as well. Did you carry through with the treatment that the previous doc gave you? Here is something I read about a treatment given at a clinic in America, which rang a bell regarding one of the treatments you described you were receiving.

EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS (EBV) TREATMENT:

Viruses do not respond well to treatment with drugs because viruses hide inside cells, and drugs are not able to get inside the cell to kill the virus. So people with EBV often suffer for many years with CHRONIC FATIGUE with little help from medical treatments. An enzyme treatment is now available which helps “starve out” the virus. Enzyme treatment involves using a product high is lipase, the fat digesting enzyme. Lipase allows the cell walls to open up, so the virus comes out of the cells into the blood stream. Protease, the protein-digesting enzyme, is then used to digest the virus in the blood stream. A remedy, which involves antiviral herbs and is high in the mineral Germanium to oxygenate the cell is also used to kill the virus. Many people suffering from EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS have been helped with this treatment. Other viral conditions including MONONUCLEOSIS also respond to this treatment. Proteases enzymes help build the IMMUNE SYSTEM by digesting unwanted bacteria, viruses and toxins in the blood. People undergoing the enzyme approach to EBV can expect slow but steady progress.
