Epstein-Barr Virus Stage IV: The Common Virus at the Root of Many Medical Ailments<\/h1>\n

Note from The Health Coach<\/a><\/em>:<\/strong>
\nThe following “health awareness-raising”<\/em> article is undoubtedly the single most important medical expos\u00e9 on the Internet today. In fact, there’s nothing even close to it. That’s why The Health Coach<\/em> has coined a new name to identify “The Silent Pandemic Afflicting Humanity”— Epstein-Barr Syndrome<\/strong>. More specifically, it should be called Epstein-Barr Virus Stage IV Syndrome<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Of course, such an emphatic and irrefutable statement begs the question:
\nWhat medical ailment and\/or health condition is so debilitating, so pervasive, so difficult to accurately diagnose and successfully treat that it would warrant such an unfavorable distinction?<\/p>\n

That’s a very good question … and it must be authoritatively answered with the highest integrity. That authority is none other than the highly regarded and universally esteemed “Medical Medium” Anthony William. Anthony has explicitly answered many longstanding health questions and unsolved medical mysteries with his book Medical Medium: Secrets Behind Chronic and Mystery Illness and How to Finally Heal<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Especially if you are “sick and tired of being sick and tired”, <\/em>the following post will quite likely be your first step toward real and permanent healing. It may also provide the most essential explanation for what truly ails you that you will ever read!<\/p>\n

The Medical Medium\u2014and What\u2019s Potentially at the Root of Medical Mysteries<\/h2>\n

Intro by Goop.com<\/p>\n

In the foreword to Medical Medium,<\/a><\/em> Dr. Alejandro Junger writes, \u201cAs a man of science, I have been taught to the point of indoctrination that I must only trust what I can observe, measure, test, and reproduce.\u201d But Dr. Junger then goes on to explain his career-long fascination with healers\u2014those who can bring sight back through touch, or restore the mysteriously ailing to health. Sure, it sounds really out there, but one of the reasons we lean on Dr. Junger so heavily over here at goop is because he\u2019s always willing to question the status quo\u2014and to acknowledge that he might not have all the answers.<\/p>\n

One of the unlikely places where Dr. Junger has found surprising\u2014and according to him, spot-on\u2014answers is from Anthony William<\/a>, a self-titled Medical Medium, who has heard a force he calls Spirit in his ear since he was a toddler. As he recounts in his book, the vision of a man appeared at the dinner table one night when he was four years old and beckoned him to stand in front of his grandmother, put his hand on her chest, and say \u201clung cancer.\u201d Plagued by curiosity, his parents took his grandmother to the doctor a few weeks later, and sure enough, she had a late stage lung cancer that had metastasized. And according to William, Spirit\u2014though not visibly present\u2014has been with him ever since.<\/p>\n

William has a robust business\u2014apparently the waiting list is years-long, half of his clients are doctors looking for advice on behalf of incurable patients, and he attends to callers by lottery\u2014but he\u2019s put some of his foundational knowledge into a book, which he\u2019s quick to point out has absolutely nothing in the way of medical study footnotes or citations. As he explains, \u201cIt\u2019s all new.\u201d The focus is on \u201cmystery illnesses,\u201d i.e., a group of diseases that many physicians have been quick to dismiss as psychosomatic\u2014and which primarily affect women\u2014including chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, Lyme disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto\u2019s, and Epstein-Barr virus. (More on EBV below.)<\/p>\n

The book is a fascinating read, whether plausible or not. His personal story is compelling, and his discussion of disease and disease states is really interesting, even if you\u2019re not personally affected. Below, you\u2019ll find a chapter about Epstein-Barr Virus from Medical Medium: Secrets Behind Chronic and Mystery Illness and How to Finally Heal<\/a><\/em> (Hay House).

EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS, CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME, AND FIBROMYALGIA<\/h2>\n

by Anthony William
\nMedical Medium<\/p>\n

The Epstein-Barr virus<\/em> (EBV) has created a secret epidemic. Out of the roughly 320 million people in the U.S., over 225 million Americans have some form of EBV.<\/p>\n

Epstein-Barr is responsible for mystery illnesses of every category: For some people, it creates fatigue and pain that go unnamed. For others, EBV symptoms prompt doctors to prescribe ineffective treatments, such as hormone replacement. And for so many people walking around with EBV, it gets misdiagnosed.<\/p>\n

Among the reasons EBV is thriving: so little is understood about it. Medical communities are aware of only one version of EBV, but there are actually over 60 varieties. Epstein-Barr is behind several of the debilitating illnesses that stump doctors. As I said in the Introduction, it\u2019s the mystery illness of mystery illnesses.<\/p>\n

Doctors have no idea how the virus operates long-term and how problematic it can be. The truth is, EBV is the source of numerous health problems that are currently considered mystery illnesses, such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. EBV is also the cause of some major maladies that medical communities think they understand but really don\u2019t\u2014including thyroid disease, vertigo, and tinnitus.<\/p>\n

This chapter explains when the Epstein-Barr virus arose, how it\u2019s transmitted, how it operates to create untold havoc in strategic stages no one knows about, and the steps (never revealed before) that can destroy the virus and restore health.<\/p>\n

EPSTEIN-BARR ORIGINS AND TRANSMISSION<\/h2>\n

Though Epstein-Barr was discovered by two brilliant physicians in 1964, it had actually begun taking hold in the early 1900s\u2014over half a century before. EBV\u2019s initial versions\u2014which are still with us\u2014are relatively slow to act, and might not even create notable symptoms until late in life. Even then, they\u2019re only mildly harmful. Many people have these non-aggressive EBV strains.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, EBV has evolved over the decades, and each generation of the virus has grown more challenging than the one before.<\/p>\n

Until the publication of this book, those with EBV would typically be stuck with it for the rest of their lives. Doctors seldom recognize EBV as the root cause of the myriad of problems it creates; plus doctors have no idea how to address the Epstein-Barr virus even when it is recognized.<\/p>\n

There are many ways to catch EBV. For example, you can get it as a baby if your mother has the virus. You can also get it through infected blood. Hospitals don\u2019t screen for the virus, so any blood transfusion puts you at risk. You can even get it from eating out! That\u2019s because chefs are under tremendous pressure to get dishes prepared quickly. They often end up cutting a finger or hand, slapping on a Band-Aid, and continuing to work. Their blood can get into the food\u2026and if they happen to have EBV during a contagious phase, that can be enough to infect you.<\/p>\n

Transmission can also happen through other bodily fluids, such as those exchanged during sex. Under some circumstances, even a kiss can be enough to transmit EBV.<\/p>\n

Someone with the virus isn\u2019t contagious all the time, though. It\u2019s most likely to spread during its Stage Two. Which brings up something else that until now hasn\u2019t been revealed: EBV goes through four stages.<\/p>\n

EPSTEIN-BARR STAGE ONE<\/h2>\n

If you catch EBV, it goes through an initial dormant period of floating around in your bloodstream doing little more than slowly replicating itself to build its numbers\u2014and waiting for an opportunity to launch a more direct infection.<\/p>\n

For example, if you physically exhaust yourself for weeks and give yourself no chance to fully recover, or allow your body to become deprived of essential nutrients such as zinc or vitamin B12, or undergo a traumatic emotional experience such as a breakup or the death of a loved one, the virus will detect your stress-related hormones and choose that time to take advantage.<\/p>\n

EBV will also often act when you\u2019re undergoing a major hormonal change\u2014for example, during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause. A common scenario is when a woman goes through childbirth. Afterward, she may feel various symptoms, including fatigue, aches and pains, and depression. In this case EBV isn\u2019t exploiting your weakness, but the fact that hormones are a powerful food source for it\u2014their abundance acts as a trigger. The hormones flooding through your body effectively does for the virus what spinach does for Popeye.<\/p>\n

EBV is inhumanly patient. This Stage One period of fortifying itself and waiting for an ideal opportunity can take weeks, months, or even a decade or longer, depending on a variety of factors.<\/p>\n

The virus is especially vulnerable during Stage One. However, it\u2019s also undetectable through tests and causes no symptoms, so you normally wouldn\u2019t know to fight it, because you wouldn\u2019t be aware it was there.<\/p>\n

EPSTEIN-BARR STAGE TWO<\/h2>\n

At the end of Stage One, the Epstein-Barr virus is ready to do battle with your body. That\u2019s when EBV first makes its presence known\u2026by turning into mononucleosis. This is the infamous mono that we all grow up hearing about as the \u201ckissing disease.\u201d It\u2019s what thousands of college students contract every year when they run themselves down with all-night partying and studying.<\/p>\n

Medical communities are unaware that every case of mononucleosis is only Stage Two of EBV.<\/p>\n

This is the period when the virus is most contagious. It\u2019s therefore advisable to avoid getting exposed to blood, saliva, or other bodily fluids from someone who has mono\u2026or to avoid exposing anyone to your fluids if you have mono.<\/p>\n

During this Stage Two, your body\u2019s immune system goes to war with the virus. It sends identifier cells to \u201ctag\u201d virus cells, i.e., place a hormone on them that marks them as invaders. It then sends soldier cells to seek out and kill the tagged virus cells. This is the power of your immune system coming to your defense.<\/p>\n

How severely this battle rages will vary from person to person, because everyone is different, and it will also depend on what EBV strain or variety a person has. You can have mono for just a week or two with a mild scratchy throat and tiredness, in which case you aren\u2019t likely to realize what\u2019s really happening, so you most likely won\u2019t visit a doctor for a blood test.<\/p>\n

Then again, you can get hit hard with fatigue, sore throat, fever, headaches, rashes, and more that hang on for several months. If this happens, the chances are you\u2019ll go see a doctor who\u2019ll test your blood, and the Epstein-Barr virus will show up as a form of mono\u2026most of the time.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s during this stage that EBV seeks a long-term home by making a run for one or more of your major organs\u2014typically your liver and\/or spleen. EBV loves being in these organs because mercury, dioxins, and other toxins are likely to accumulate there. The virus thrives on these poisons.<\/p>\n

One other secret about EBV is that it has a best friend, a bacterium called Streptococcus. In such cases your body is dealing with not only a virus, but also bacteria that further confuse the immune system and produce their own array of symptoms. This is Epstein-Barr\u2019s number one cofactor.<\/p>\n

During EBV\u2019s Stage Two, Streptococcus can travel up to create strep throat and\/or infest the sinuses, nose, or mouth. It can also travel down to create infections in the urinary tract, vagina, kidneys, or bladder . . . eventually causing cystitis.<\/p>\n

EPSTEIN-BARR STAGE THREE<\/h2>\n

Once the virus settles into your liver, spleen, and\/or other organs, it nests there.<\/p>\n

From this point on, when a doctor tests for Epstein-Barr, she or he will find antibodies and take these to indicate a past infection, when EBV was in its mono phase. The doctor will not find the EBV presently active in the bloodstream. The confusion here is one of the biggest blunders in medical history\u2014this is how this virus has slipped through the cracks. Unless you have already followed the measures outlined in this book to kill the EBV, the virus is, in fact, still alive and causing new symptoms\u2026and it\u2019s eluding the tests. That\u2019s because it\u2019s living in the liver, spleen, or other organs, and the test to detect this has not yet been invented.<\/p>\n

With the virus hiding undetected in your organs, your body assumes it\u2019s won the war and the invader has been destroyed. Your immune system returns to its normal state, your mononucleosis ends, and your doctor tells you that you\u2019re healthy.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the Epstein-Barr virus has barely begun its voyage through your body.<\/p>\n

If you have a typical variety, EBV could lie dormant in your organs for years\u2014possibly for decades\u2014without your knowing it. If you have an especially aggressive variety, though, EBV may create serious problems even while it\u2019s nesting.<\/p>\n

For example, the virus may burrow deep into your liver and spleen, causing those organs to become inflamed and enlarged. And once again, keep in mind that your doctor does not know to connect the dots between past EBV and its present activity in the organs.<\/p>\n

The virus also creates three types of poison:<\/p>\n
