My Epstein-Barr Healing Journey: How I Overcame Constant Sickness, Sciatic/Back Nerve Pain, and Anxiety Through Holistic Healing
My Personal Journey with Epstein-Barr and Finding True Healing
For 38 years, I battled ongoing ear problems — constant drainage, ear tubes, and even ruptured eardrums. My body always seemed to be fighting something. I was constantly sick, catching every bug that came around, and my immune system never felt strong.
Then, about 12 years after my C-section, I began having severe lower back pain that would sometimes radiated down my leg — classic sciatic nerve pain. Some days it was hard to stand or move. I went to a chiropractor for relief, but the pain always came back. Emotionally, I was struggling too. I developed severe anxiety, constant worry, and fatigue that I couldn’t shake.
I felt trapped in my own body — inflamed, anxious, and exhausted.
Through MRT functional testing, I finally discovered I was a carrier of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). That revelation changed everything. I learned that viruses like EBV can hide deep within tissues, especially in areas of inflammation or weakness. For me, that place was my spinal tap area, where the virus had essentially created a holding spot — keeping the nerves irritated, especially around the sciatic region. It can also settle to attack the thyroid, bladder, adrenals and other organs in the body.
It explained why my lower back and sciatic nerve pain were so stubborn — the inflammation wasn’t just structural, it was viral.
Once I began supporting my body naturally with targeted supplements, anti-inflammatory nutrition, detox support, and lifestyle changes, the healing began.
My inflammation dropped. The sciatic nerve pain completely disappeared. My anxiety began to lift, and I noticed I wasn’t getting sick all the time anymore. Even my lifelong ear problems healed and after 38 years no more tubes in my ears.
For the first time in decades, my ears, back, nerves, and emotions all feel balanced. I feel stronger, calmer, and more in tune with my body than ever before.
Healing from Epstein-Barr taught me that when the body is inflamed, it’s not broken — it’s trying to speak. Once we start listening and supporting it holistically, incredible things happen.
