Epstein-Barr Virus & Mononucleosis treatment with plant enzymes by Dr. Jenefer Huntoon, Naturopathic Physician, Seattle, WA www.DrHuntoon.com
Viruses do not respond well to treatment with drugs because viruses hide inside the cells, so the drugs cannot get into the cells to kill the virus. So people with EBV often suffer for many years with chronic fatigue with little help from medical treatments. An enzyme treatment is now available which helps “starve out” the virus.
Enzyme therapy involves using a product high in lipase, the fat digesting enzyme. Lipase allows the cell walls to open up, so the virus can come out of the cells into the blood stream. Protease, the protein digesting enzyme, is then used to digest the
virus which is now in the blood stream. We also use a number of botanical and herbal formulas to strengthen the immune system and help the body to fight the virus. Patients are also encouraged to get off sugar and processed foods and switch to a natural foods diet high in raw fruits and vegetables.
Many people suffering from EPSTEIN BARR VIRUS have been helped with this enzyme treatment. Other viral conditions including Mononucleosis also respond to this type of treatment. Mononucleosis is the name of the disease caused by Epstein-Barr Virus.
Protease enzymes help to build the IMMUNE SYSTEM by digesting unwanted bacteria, viruses, yeasts and parasites in the blood. People undergoing the enzyme approach to EBV can expect slow but steady progress.
Dr. Huntoon is a Northwest expert in plant enzyme therapy and has studied under Dr. Howard Loomis (the world expert in plant enzyme therapy) since 1987. She is currently one of a few Internal Health Specialists certified by Logan College.
