In this episode of The Modern Vital Podcast with Dr. Ben Reebs, listeners delve into the intricate world of the Epstein Barr Virus (EBV). Dr. Reebs provides a comprehensive breakdown of EBV's structure, its opportunistic nature, and the significance of interpreting Epstein Barr virus antibodies on a panel. As Dr. Reebs explains, EBV, a member of the herpes virus family, remains dormant in the body after initial infection, awaiting an opportunity to reactivate and potentially cause symptoms such as fatigue and malaise. The podcast sheds light on the various antibodies tested in an EBV panel, including IgG, IgM, eBNA, and early antigen, offering insights into how these markers can help diagnose acute or chronic infections and assess the strength of the immune system.

Furthermore, Dr. Reebs emphasizes the importance of considering individual symptoms and health history alongside laboratory results, highlighting the nuanced approach required in managing EBV infections. He discusses the prevalence of EBV, its potential implications in autoimmune diseases, and the role of holistic healthcare practitioners in diagnosing and managing EBV-related conditions.

If you're looking to dive deeper into understanding the intricacies of chronic disease and its impact on your overall well-being, consider checking out Dr. Reebs' book, "The Serpent & The Butterfly: The Seven Laws of Healing." In this book, he discusses the laws of healing essential to resolving chronic disease and much more to help you on your journey to optimal wellness.

We've all heard that "the dose makes the poison." Nowhere is this a more apt saying than with nutmeg.  Hey, don't get us wrong, just a wee bit of nutmeg can help you tolerate some of those holiday food indulgences! Nutmeg is warming, has anti-parasite and pain-relieving properties, and can be used topically for pain relief.  Join us as we touch on some history and give you our takes on nutmeg: the spice, the medicine, the poison.  Oh, and go ahead and share this episode with someone who would enjoy it! Maybe a friend who's a chef or a baker?

Did you know that nutmeg was a commodity so precious it was traded for Manhattan? From serving as a sleep aid (insomniacs chickens?) to its pain-relieving effects, nutmeg has lots of potential as a medicinal spice. Just remember, while nutmeg may enhance your holiday season, moderation is key, and it's always advisable to consult a professional before using higher doses of nutmeg as medicine.
