Please read if you've had EBV/CMV

I'm in the process now of doing research and I myself will be starting Valtrex for this on Sunday. If you've been diagnosed with Mono (EBV) and or CMV in the past and it's lead to CFS or symptoms of this, please read this site. Find a doctor who is willing to try you on this method that WAS approved by the FDA and showed no side effects, just pure results!!!!

"Twenty-five patients with CFS illness were treated orally for 6 months with pharmacokinetic doses of valacyclovir (valtrex) in a formulation to give continuous anti-EBV effective blood levels throughout the day. This is the first time such valacyclovir dosing was given. The trial was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Patients were carefully monitored for safety by repeated appropriate blood tests. There were no adverse side effects. Sixteen patients with single virus EBV infection were benefitted, but 9 clinically similar CFS patients with EBV-HCMV co-infection were not benefitted. Valacyclovir (valtrex) in the laboratory is effective versus EBV, but it is NOT effective (active) versus HCMV. Therefore, the results strengthen the need for subset classification and appropriate subset-directed antiviral treatment for CFS illness. This, to our knowledge, is the first successful report of valacyclovir treatment for EBV infection."


"Eleven CFS patients with EBV-HCMV co-infections were appropriately treated according to their prior subset classification over an 18-month period with antiviral drug treatments. All patients were carefully monitored for safety every 4-6 weeks. Valacyclovir for EBV infection and ganciclovir for HCMV infection were used. There were no significant side effects in CFS patients. All 11 CFS patients in this study were significantly improved."

I've actually taken Valtrex before. It was only for a short period of time though. I noticed
a few changes with some symptoms and increased symptoms with others. But it was only
for a few weeks. Remember that not everything is safe just because the FDA approves it.
Good luck and I hope it works for you.....In fact please let me know if it does.
