Attention All ME/CFS patients seeing integrative medicine doctors

Maribavir, Artesunate pilot drug trial for patients with a history of EBV, HSV 6/7 with or without CMV

There is a new combination drug therapy that may help ME/CFS patients with a history of Epstein Barr virus (EBV) plus Herpes Simplex virus HSV-6/7 with or without Cytomegalovirus CMV infection. Maribavir is a new CMV drug that also has activity against EBV. it works by blocking EBV MRNA transcription. Artesunate blocks HSV 6/7.

Patients who have EBV plus HSV 6/7 with or without CMV and who see integrative doctors should request to be put on a trial of both maribavir and artesunate then post your results to this thread. Please include reports and lab documentation as attachments. They can be anonymized.

If you or someone you know has these viruses and is seeing an integrative medical doctor please tell them about it.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
