EBV Can Cause Brain Inflammation; The CBCD Examines the Medical Evidence
Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), a herpes virus, can also cause diseases that affect the central nervous system such as encephalitis and meningitis. (1)
“Infected with the Epstein Barr Virus (EBV)? The CBCD recommends taking Gene-Eden-VIR or Novirin.” – Greg Bennett, CBCD
The Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) can cause a condition called encephalitis, which is an inflammation of brain tissue. “The viral prodrome (pre-disease symptoms) typically consists of fever, headache, nausea and vomiting, lethargy, and myalgias.” (2)
When brain tissues are inflammed due to EBV infection it can cause many different disease symptoms. For example, “the signs of encephalitis may be diffuse or focal. Typical findings include the following: altered mental status, personality changes (very common), local findings (eg, hemiparesis, focal seizures, and autonomic dysfunction), movement disorders (eg, St Louis encephalitis, eastern equine encephalitis, and western equine encephalitis), taxia, cranial nerve defects, dysphagia, particularly in rabies, meningismus (less common and less pronounced than in meningitis), unilateral sensorimotor dysfunction (postinfectious encephalomyelitis).” (2)

As Dr. Pizzigallo and colleagues wrote in a review “EBV-associated neurological syndromes represent … complications in infectious mononucleosis, and include acute encephalitis, meningitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), cerebellitis and myelitis.” (3) All of the diseases mentioned by Dr. Pizzigallo are serious illnesses of the brain and central nervous system. Dr. Pizzigallo is from the Clinic of Infectious Diseases at the “G. D’Annunzio” University of Chieti in Italy.
EBV is very common. “EBV infects B and T lymphocytes of more than 90% of the general population before adulthood. Primary infection results in transient viremia (a temporary, acute infection with clear symptoms) followed by a rapid immune response.” (4) EBV is also associated with a growing number of cancers.
EBV infection has two phases, acute/reactivation and latency. During the latent phase, the virus continues to replicate on a small scale, and produces only some of its proteins.
The Center for the Biology of Chronic Disease (CBCD) recommends that in light of the medical evidence, individuals concerned about infection with the latent EBV take Gene-Eden-VIR or Novirin. The formula of these natural, antiviral supplements was designed to help the immune system target the latent form of the Epstein-Barr Virus.
The formula of Gene-Eden-VIR and Novirin was tested by Hanan Polansky and Edan Itzkovitz from the CBCD in two clinical studies that followed FDA guidelines. The studies showed that the Novirin formula is effective against the herpes family of viruses. The Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) is a member of the herpes family. The clinical studies were published in the peer reviewed, medical journal Pharmacology & Pharmacy, the first, in a special edition on Advances in Antiviral Drugs. Study authors wrote that, “individuals infected with the EBV … reported a safe decrease in their symptoms following treatment with (the formula of Novirin).” (5) The study authors also wrote that, “We observed a statistically significant decrease in the severity, duration, and frequency of symptoms.” (5)

Gene-Eden-VIR and Novirin are natural antiviral dietary supplements. Their shared formula contains five natural ingredients: Selenium, Camellia Sinesis Extract, Quercetin, Cinnamomum Extract, and Licorice Extract. The first ingredient is a trace element, and the other four are plant extracts. Each ingredient and its dose was chosen through a scientific approach. Scientists at polyDNA, the company that invented and patented the formula, scanned thousands of scientific and medical papers published in various medical and scientific journals, and identified the safest and most effective natural ingredients against latent viruses. To date, Gene-Eden-VIR and Novirin are the only natural antiviral products on the market with published clinical studies that support their claims.
The CDC notes that “Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), also known as human herpesvirus 4, is a member of the herpes virus family. It is one of the most common human viruses. EBV is found all over the world. Most people get infected with EBV at some point in their lives.” (6)
What treatments are available for EBV infections?
“A few antiviral drugs are available that were shown to inhibit EBV replication in cell culture. These drugs include the acyclic nucleoside analogues aciclovir, ganciclovir, penciclovir, and their respective prodrugs valaciclovir, valganciclovir and famciclovir, the acyclic nucleotide analogues cidofovir and adefovir, and the pyrophosphate analogue foscarnet. However, clinical studies have shown that these drugs are mostly ineffective in humans.” (5) There are also natural antiviral products that studies show to be safe and effective in reducing EBV symptoms. Two of these products are Novirin and Gene-Eden-VIR.
“Based on the results of these medical reviews, and the CBCD’s own research, we recommend that individuals infected with the latent EBV take Gene-Eden-VIR or Novirin.” - Greg Bennett, CBCD
