No one really talks about the other "dirt" that ticks pass onto humans, that is viruses. Viruses are less understood, have less testing verification and more difficult to treat than bacteria due to not many anti-viral drugs. Ticks can pass on all sorts of nasty viruses the most prominent the Arbovirus and Flavivirus classes.

What testing/treatment is available out there for these?

I think there's a % of the population with tick-borne illnesses that are in fact getting major symptoms from viruses and unless you're working with a very experienced LLMD you'll never know it.

Well, this is a good time to admit one such situation hit me in the face looking at our symptom chart this weekend....and its a bacteria - Brucella.

This is why i love the idea of rife and venom ..they can handle viruses and proteobacteria ...one that is overlooked is cpn it is verymuch a oppottunistic infection every one has it like ebv or cmv

herbs, ozone, UVLrX, UVB, etc. also all hit viruses so should be considered in one's arsenal. too many times people who are sick are given combo antibiotics and a few supplements and are expected to make a full recovery. that doesn't seem to happen often unless the infection is in its acute stage.

Yeah one of the many reasons i went the herbal route. Antivirals in herbs are not uncommon at all. Knotweed in fact has several antiviral compounds. It seems to me sometimes that covering your bases in treatment is easier than identifying every bug you've acquired. Redundancy is key. When a shaman goes out to grab an antiparasitic plant to treat someone they don't grab one, they grab like seven.

I agree that it can be very difficult to identify all the viruses one may have, since we can pick them up from anywhere (including insects) and with a lowered immune function, there are few antibodies to assist in testing.

That's why I started my first treatment, and now that I'm restarting treatments yet again, I have started with viruses. I'm doing what I can to clear as many viral components first - then I'll move on to the bacterial and protozoa infections that I have - at least that's the plan. Lol.

I know that Olive Leaf extract is good for EBV. Which other herbs are beneficial?

There's lots of herbs that have antiviral activity - Buhner has a whole book about herbal antivirals.

In flipping through his "Herbal Antivirals" book, here are some of the herbs that we see mentioned frequently in treating our infections that also have antiviral components:
Chinese Skullcap,
Ginger
Houttuynia
Istatis
Licorice
Boneset
Red root
Astragalus
Cordyceps
Rhodiola


Blueberry, Buhner has a whole list of herbs for EBV listed in this book. Here are a few:
Artemsia annua (or artemisinin)
Neem
turmeric
licorice
reishi
Japanese knotweed
Chinese skullcap
ginger

He 'lays out' a protocol for treating EBV as well.

For those that are interested in this, please buy his book! There is so much information given!! And, the books are not very expensive.
