Mononucleosis begins with flulike symptoms—aches, tiredness, runny nose, and the like, as well as occasionally a rash similar to German measles. It is caused by a herpeslike organism called Epstein-Barr virus. The lymph glands in the neck swell and, very occasionally, there are rashes, a sore throat, or digestive upset.
A blood test will confirm mononucleosis, and early diagnosis can be useful, as it can last for months. It should be handled very, very carefully, as postviral fatigue syndrome can easily ensue if the body’s energies are not supported and fortified. It has become a common precursor of myalgic encephalomyelitis (chronic fatigue syndrome)
-Excellent food programs will be vital: start with juices and superfood.
-Reduce protein intake (meat, eggs, fish).
-Perform colon, liver, and kidney cleanses, and use herbs for these areas.
-Siberian ginseng root or Astragalus root, or both, will be vital for general long-term adaptogenic support.
-Immune herbs such as echinacea root, myrrh resin, and pokeweed root alongside blood cleansers like burdock root and dandelion root will be needed.
-Include very moderate exercise and massage.
