Cytomegalovirus

Cytomegalovirus, of the herpes family, had been isolated in the 1950's and resembles the clinical picture of Epstein Barr. The virus lives in the salivary glands and spreads easily infecting an estimated three quarters of the adult population. Those with compromised immune systems, as found in individuals being chemically treated for AIDS and Cancer have the highest incidence rates.

Typical symptoms are low WBC counts, fever, lung infections, and superinfections of the kidneys and GI tract by bacteria, fungi and protozoan parasites.

Cytomegalovirus, as well as other herpes viruses can live indefinitely in the human body in an undetectable latent state. Because these viruses bind readily to bacterial staph, they should be addressed together when using natural virucides for eradication.
