Why the flare on antivirals?

[chilove]

Does anyone know how/why EBV and other viruses often flare worse when you start a new antiviral? And how to get to past that faster?

My guess is the increase in dieoff of the virus and the body being unable to get rid of it quickly. I’ve used activated charcoal to help eliminate dieoff to some affect for me.
