Epstein-Barr Virus Causes Multiple Sclerosis! [US Military Longitudinal Study]

I shed tears watching this. I always thought the idea that the immune system would just randomly go after the cns as an absurd idea. Thank u for sharing dr. Baeber

Had EBV and Mono for months back when I was 16. Diagnosed with MS at the age of 33, but first symptoms started 10 years prior to that...

👋 Hello Dr. Beaber what are your thoughts on bovine lactoferrin consumption? 📣 - Immunomodulatory - Anti-viral - Regulates intestinal permeability EBV Study: LF prevented EBV infection of primary B cells mediated by its direct binding to the EBV receptor (CD21) on the B-cell surface. **See next comment. (character limit, forces me to break these up)

MS has some strong link with stress. Because i had no symptoms until last years when i suffered severe stress January last year in december i was diagnosed with optic neurtis . MRI shows a lesion in periventricular region 5mm size and in lesion juxtacortical region. OCB test says tha band are present in both blood serum and spinal fluid.

I had severe mono at 23 and was diagnosed with MS at age 37…this discovery is fascinating and I hope the vaccine for EPV changes MS for the future!

I also have read the research, and i was informed that moderna is trying to develop an EBV " vacine " based on MRNA tecnology to eradicate the virus. My question is how is this gonna help people who already have been diagnosed with the disease and have symptoms? What could they expect ? ( I have been diagnosed with ms 3 years ago ).

I had mono as a teen and now have MS. I wonder if they should be monitoring titers of EBV now to get those with higher levels preventative treatment

I grew up in a tick area (had two ticks/nymphs at two points as a child). I had EBV and a severe case of Mono which had me bedridden and ”half dead” for months when I was 15. Then I had a noticeable case of CMV in my early 20’s. And after that it went completely downhill for me. I developed Severe M.E. and have been trying to battle this illness now for 15+ years. I have days and weeks that are slightly better (when physical and mental torture is less and I can actually write and think and participate for a few hours). I just had Covid for three weeks and now all my M.E. symptoms are way out of control again with feelings of sinusitis (but in my brain), severe POTS, abnormal heart rate and uneven heartbeatings, personality changes - besides all my other M.E. symptoms that are always there. I have not MS, but ME. And yes, I have gotten slightly better and lessen some symptoms with extremely strict diet which among other things exclude sugar, gluten and milk products (I’ve gotten so much worse those times I’ve tried them again). Also doing antiviral herbs and raw food vitamins has helped me be able to get my thoughts together, my speech and ability to write back. I need to do Pacing (do as little mental and physical activities as possible - or I get much worse again and turn into a person who only lays in a silent dark room for weeks). Now, when I feel I can, I do gentle Qigong and deep breathing techniques. Coconut water (magnesium and potassium are good for POTS. Keltic Seasalt, water. I’m crashing as I write. I have a lot of advices on what can help somewhat for at least M.E. But I must rest now. Even if it might sound corny: Wishing everyone better/good health, love and peace. 💜👋☺️

could you measure sNFL to see if you got activity or is it not the way to go and too expensive?

Will an EBV vaccine help an already affected MS person ?

Thank you for these videos! I was infected with mono when I was 15 and at 30 I was diagnosed with MS. I am happy to hear there are studies underway and I’m looking forward to more effective treatments!

Hi Dr. B my son has MOG and presented with TM. He also tested positive for EBV I am wondering if we will find a link to MOG and EBV. I know MOG and MS are different but similar.

Thank you for all of your videos. Any info on Evusheld, especially for people on B cell depleters?

I have never been diagnosed with mono, but I was definitely exposed many times in my high school years. Annnd I don’t know the statistics but quite a few women I’ve met in support groups had their MS start up after giving birth, can pregnancy reactivate the virus?

Hi- I don’t remember having mono- my EBV results was greater than 600k- any DMT that will beneficial for us now? Do you do any telehealth consults? - hello from Florida - glad to have found you!

Good morning doctor Brandon, thank you for doing this video. It was excellent. At the age of 55 I honestly don't know if I ever had EBV but I do recall somewhere in my late teens and early 20s I experienced major fatigue and sleepiness and often wondered if that was related. Could this be a question I could pose to my neurologist? It's so ironic that doing doing a video on this because there's also been some articles on it lately. Also I just lost the love of my life of 31 years last week and not long before she passed away she had asked me do you think you ever had the EBV virus. Again I want to thank you for this one and yes if there ever was a possibility I would love to take a treatment to shut this disease down or at least quiet it. Thank you for reading my long-winded message and I always enjoy listening to you because to me you're not just a doctor but a friend also. Until next time take care and have a great day.

What is the best blood test for chronic infection? EBV IgG and/or EBV nuclear antigen (EBNA)?

How can one know if u have it, i k ow many people measured negative and still have ms

Excellent video! Thank you for making this one!

Hey, Dr. Beaber -- my wife has 24/7/365 vertigo with her MS. She's tried motion sickness medications with no effect. It's so bad, the dizziness often takes her breath away and the associated nausea impacts her ability to eat. Any suggestions to help impact this? We're pretty desperate and open to anything. We appreciate all you do for the MS community!
