Immune Support to pair with antiviral treatment

Hello Everyone,

I am having great success with olive leaf extract as an antiviral, but I think it is time to work on boosting all my systems so that I can better heal from the damage caused by a life time of chronic HHV-6/EBV infection. Currently I take black seed oil, Vitamin D, Ester-C, and just started a B-complex once a day. All at least 5x the RDA. Any suggestions for additions? Please provide links to more info if you have it. Searching for information exhausts me, and I'm writing a thesis, so you can imagine how much I hate it! :)

Thank you,
Jill

Selenium seems to be very important in fighting certain viral infections. Some data to back this up here.

Yeast free selenomethionine seems to be a good form to take.

I take all kinds of things including Monolaurin and Epicor and am about to start AHCC mushrooms.

Thanks everyone. The OLE is taking care of the infection at this point. What I am looking for now are things to support my other systems in recovery.
