Multiple sclerosis: Study finds Epstein-Barr virus triggers autoimmune disease • FRANCE 24 English

It's an important breakthrough for the 2.8 million people who suffer from #multiplesclerosis worldwide. A recent #study conducted in the US has found the strongest evidence yet that contracting a common virus known as #EpsteinBarr, dramatically increases a person's chances of developing the rare disease. FRANCE 24's Science Editor Julia Sieger tells us more.

I do believe my mother got mono when she was in high-school. She was diagnosed with MS a few years before she committed suicide... MS is a terrible, terrible disease. I miss my mom, and I feel like the medical world, and the doctors here failed her, as well as the American healthcare system. She could never get insurance and could barely get the help she needed. It took over 10 years for her to even be diagnosed with MS.

[@BlueButterflyQueen]

That's so sad to hear. I'm so sorry for your loss. 🙏🏽

[@iyanuolaiyabobo4307]

The period of time I had mouth Shingles and Ulcer was pain time for me but all thanks and gratitude to Doctor Ani John herbal center for giving me a herbal medicine that help me cure this infection permanently.

[@ebenburger111]

So sorry for your loss. Very sad. Yes the health care system is a waste of time. I came across very interesting research which I firmly believe has also been withheld from the public. There are plant foods that can fight epstein barr virus such as culatro leaves, Basil and Turmeric root etc.... But the real exciting info I got is that phenolic acids such as those found in naturally fermented vinegars are power antivirals and according to to one scientific study, epstein barr virus was blocked in a dose dependant manner with the treatment of Gallic and Ferulic Acid. Both of these are found in fruit vinegars and Oats vinegar. Gallic and Chlorogenic acid is also powerful and effectively block herpes and Hiv as well. Yes you heard me right... U can check it out yourself. Phenolic acids are some of the most powerful antioxidants out there....

[@MsHeartIsArt]

That is so so awful, I’m so sorry.

[@baronghede2365]

Sorry for your loss, Blessed Be.

[@viviannemerr5084]

She explained what MS is. She did not explain the association between MS and EBV. Another question: Why do we need to know everything about MS before developing an effective vaccine for EBV infection?! Also let’s remember it’s not all about prevention. As wonderful as prevention is and I really hope it happens as soon as possible but an effective treatment is also very important for people that are already suffering from MS.

[@SilverGrizzly]

MS can be mitigated significantly through diet, supplements, and lifestyle. If you are looking for relief from an orange bottle, you’re in trouble.

[@bluerider9204]

Because ebv was created on purpose.

[@awesomedavid2012]

​@@bluerider9204in the 1940s?

[@loquacious_lisa]

@@bluerider9204you’re absolutely right.

[@RayofSunshineeeee]

Finally a video on this! I got mono & my personality, fatigue, depression I’ve never been the same since mono.

[@candyman5749]

I'm the same. I got it in the early 1990's, and have never been the same, and after 30 years they claim there has been no new research on it. I believe that without a doubt, it was created in a lab. The virus wasn't discovered until the mid 1960's. Strange, if over 90% of the population develop the virus. My liver and spleen became inflamed and I became delirious.

[@wandamitchell4815]

EBV is a rollercoaster ride

[@hummingbird2254]

I had Mononucleosis when I was 13. I started developing MS symptoms when I was 37.

[@SilverGrizzly]

I had mono when I was 13 as well. I recently turned 38. I’ve had wacky neurological issues for over a decade. Here’s what has helped me: Be fanatical about your diet. No processed sugar ever. No ice cream, no cookies, no cake. Ever. If any sugar, go really light on maple syrup, honey, or agave if any at all. No chemicals in your food. Read labels. If there is a chemical on the label, don’t eat it. Eat only organic. No dairy, no soy, no gluten, no corn, no alcohol. I eat lots of meat (deer, elk, and salmon) and I do well with meat. I eat a TON of organic leafy greens. Now supplements. I take 6-8 drops of vitamin D3 daily with a meal containing fat. I take a tincture of Lomatium daily. I occasionally take a scoop of L-Glutamine powder if symptoms are bad. I take NAC daily. I take a digestive enzyme every time I eat to help me get the most out of what I eat. This morning I had a smoothie of juice from 2 Valencia oranges, blueberries, cilantro, mint, Atlantic dulse flakes, a scoop of wheatgrass juice powder, and half a lemon, peel included. All organic. Medicine at its finest. Rest when you need to, but make exercise a priority. I have been crippled with pain at times throughout the years, not even knowing how to operate my own body. And there are times when I go off on mountaineering trips in the wilderness and get the most out of my body. Last Saturday I was riddled with pain, but with the right attitude and mindset, and nutrition, I was able to climb a peak with 4000 feet of gain the following Tuesday. The point here is just to show you what is possible in the face of mysterious neurological issues resulting from the EBV. Mono laid me out for 5 weeks back in ‘98. I slept 22 hours a day and the other 2 hours I watched 2 episodes of Laverne & Shirley and 2 episodes of the Brady Bunch then back to a heavy slumber for 22 hours. Never would have guessed I would still be dealing with issues from the virus. You just have to adapt

[@Ennugia]

I never had mono, yet have MS. Now what?

[@bluerider9204]

@@Ennugia perhaps you had mono or another virus and did not know it.

[@bluerider9204]

That is exactly my path too. Only it was fibro and not m.s. Liver clease is key.

[@Ennugia]

@@bluerider9204 of course, it's possible. We'll never know. I certainly had SOME exposure to SOME virus, as we all did. That's why I wonder why Epstein-Barr is singled out. I believe Dr. Bieber, of course, but I think we're still not quite at the point where we can 100% say "no Epstein-Barr, no MS".

[@viviannemerr5084]

Waiting for an effective treatment.

[@BrittFulli]

Sameeee

[@heathermarie7030]

Proper DETOX is the only effective treatment. PROPER detox. If you detox incorrectly, it can be problematic. Look at Dr Pompa. Supplements and getting proper minerals, nutrients, and electrolytes can help ywith your symptoms in the mean time. B1 helped me tremendously with neuropathy. Also look into a non-woke functional medicine doctor. That may be a chiropractor or md or naturopath. Also consider an educated herbalist such as an acupuncturist with TCM training.

[@Aangel452]

Interesting association! I look fwd to more papers on this.

[@ash0787]

read the study if you want to understand the findings, they tracked the onset of EBV antibody in blood over the course of multiple blood draws, and that correlated with the appearance of markers for MS.

[@juliafox52]

And yet the title states definitive causation...it's amazing what they can find when "researching" / "testing" need and efficacy of pharmaceutical products.

[@saraginger7859]

With a whole family of Viruses to choose from, it needs a socially acceptable causation ‘theory’; especially when funding is required…

[@kaytsippy1981]

I had glandular fever which turned into M.S. From Glandular Fever symptoms straight into vertigo and loss or strength and coordination in my legs. I have always known they were connected! Glad science is catching up. This was when i was 11! I am 28 now!

[@joantendler6518]

Solvents may be the real problem, since they're connected with both EBV and with MS. Avoid solvents in personal care products, like lotions and make-up-they're everywhere, really, so do the best you can. And take threonine and serine amino acids-they'll help with coordination.

[@cougercruiser847]

Have you been treating EBV to cure your M.S.?

[@axellaskri2940]

hello My name is Aymen i am 25yo, been disgnosed in 2020 with MS, and also hbv. latelty i ve been wondering did the hbv trigger My ms, knwing that ive been through a lumbar puncture testing the hbv serology of the celebrospinal fluid and they were postive, hbv exists inside the central nervous system and crossed the bbb. 🤔

[@Aangel452]

NAc and other natural meds can help here as well abit B1.

[@MRRight007]

955 out of 10 mils. explains the rarity of this disease. We need strong antivirals that can eradicate the virus from the body or at least therapeutic vaccines.

[@waffle_chair9269]

The last thing is we need is more vaccines stuffing around peoples immunities any more.

[@juliafox52]

Assuming there are no positives to viral interactions within the human body.

Oh dear God

[@patriciadryer6854]

What about fibromyalgia rheumatica? I had Epstein Barr when I was 16. I seem to be developing at 70.

[@PSYCHICVIBES]

Make sure your not consuming acidic foods and drinks. pH in your body is key. Vitamin K2 also to put calcium in the bones where it's needed. Research first always.

[@WmGaspar2012]

Great information.

[@eating_with_angels]

What "study"? They dont have a study they are taking this information from the Medical Medium

[@bluerider9204]

He is actually the only person effectively treating this.

[@VisceralCarbon]

Is your chances higher also if you have a low white blood cell count?

[@erinm3567]

Did he say multiple SLerosis? Someone should have caught that. Way to make your little segment credible.

Do you hear an accent

That's EpstEIn, EInstEIn.

To anyone who finds my comment that is suffering from multiple sclerosis: please try the Mediterranean diet, use Herb's like turmeric ginger, Asian ginsing and speak to a chiropractor, Blessed Be.

[@doggestdoggo2458]

why is it named epstein ? ☕️🤓

[@Robin.Burke-Optical_Collusion]

@CRAM MARC & his brother who moved to London in the 1930s.

[@christopherellis2663]

Because Doctors, Epstein and Barr, reported it's existence

[@doggestdoggo2458]

@CRAM MARC well why they didn't name it mussolinihitlerepstein vaccine then?

[@yoyo12121]

The man who made it is epstein barr. Like AIDS HPV. AFTER SEXUAL REVOLUTION MANY VIRUSES MADE TO INFECT THE MAXIMUM OF PEOPLE .

[@cavejohnson4054]

even crazier, if you look at the name of who was principal at epstein's school where he taught
