Epstein-Barr Virus

Epstein-Barr (EBV) is one of the herpes family of viruses, and most adults have been exposed to it.

Epstein-Barr is part of what I call the big four: Lyme, Epstein-Barr, mercury toxicity and mouth infections. These are the main things people have when they go to the doctor and are told everything’s fine.
