Need some advice/research
🧐 Research Wanted 🤔
Hey, y'all. I'm new here.
I've been looking into alt-medicines to treat my EBV/mono (got it last June, some people get it bad) and wondering if there's any drugs I should consider?
I've looked into Ivermectin and Sweet wormwood but I'd like to know what else would be worth considering.
Thanks <3
I am sorry to hear that. I had mono when it was fashionable to get it, at University. (LOL everyone came down with it that first Freshman winter). IT was not pretty.
The main thing that helped, was zinc, and also magnesium tablets and cod liver oil. (I haunted a local herb shop, and also tried all sorts of cleanses and tonics etc.) Anyhow, The turnaround came about six weeks in, when I took 6X dose of Zinc, for two weeks , on the advice of the herbalist who got tired trying to explain anymore.
The main thing is to take things that support your immune system.
On this forum there are several protocols, for example Dr Zelenko's one.
I am not a doctor, or any kind of specialist, but there has been a lot of research on vit D lately, and they are free to read on the internet. Each research paper that comes out, gives another wrinkle to the grand picture: My family currently takes a maintenance dose of vit D 5000 IU/day. If we get a symptom like a sore throat, we take twice that. Vit D and Magnesium go hand in hand, from experience, one can knock the other out of balance, so take both.
Also Ivermectin and Aspirin. Turns out that aspirin is more than just pain relief.
I appreciate your reply!
So to clarify, you took 6x the normal dosage of Zinc for 2 weeks, and I'm assuming normal doses of Magnesium and cod liver oil. (I take all of these except for cod liver oil, but I just do normal doses.)
I have always taken vitamins, but I guess maybe it might be time to step up some doses to finally kill this thing.
It's more of an immune support thing. But go and check on dosage with someone who is happy to prescribe that stuff, because needs vary. When the guy suggested to me the 6X dose it was tailored for me.
Zinc overdose can make you feel nauseous, for example.
In any case vit D is very safe to take in 'large' doses, just as is vit C, but D needs that magnesium supplement as well.
Update!
I got a blood test done, and it turns out I have low potassium, which is linked to all my symptoms (muscle pains, nerve pains, etc).
Thanks for the help anyway, I appreciate it fren.
