subject: Mono can lead to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome [print this page] Mono can lead to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Mononucleosis or Mono for short, also known as Epstein-Barr Virus )EBV( or glandular fever has been recently cited as a cause for the increased risk of teenagers, mostly girls, of developing CFS or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. A study conducted by Chicago researchers explained that 13%, 7% and 4% of teenagers after 6, 12 and 24 months respectively of having Infectious Mononucleosis showed symptoms of CFS. 1
The Center for Disease Control or CDC explains that CFS is an incapacitating disease wherein the worst condition is manifested with "an all-encompassing fatigue that results in a dramatic decline in both activity level and stamina."3 The Center further explains that CFS can easily be "misdiagnosed or overlooked because its symptoms are common to many other disorders."3 This means that mononucleosis can be neglected because symptoms like fever, sore throat, and fatigue or exhaustion can be mistaken for the common cold or flu. 2
With these findings, early detection and treatment of mono and CFS are crucial. CDC stresses that there is "evidence to indicate that the sooner a person is treated, the better the chance of improvement."3
Dr. Hanan Polansky found out that there exists a relationship between latent viruses and chronic diseases. This led to the development of Gene-Eden. Gene-Eden is an antiviral supplement effective against chronic diseases because of its antiviral ingredients. It is specifically designed to counter viral diseases like mononucleosis and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Green Tea Extract, Quercitin, Licorice Extract, Cinnamon Extract, and Selenium are its effective antiviral ingredients wherein each of the ingredients effectiveness against viruses has been backed by scientific papers.
The authors of the study stressed the long-term risks of infectious mononucleosis when they gave the reminder that the "female gender and greater fatigue severity (during mononucleosis)were associated with the development of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in adolescents."1
Stand up against mono now, if you are suffering from it. Ensure that it will not develop to CFS in the long run. Get more information about Gene-Eden at http://www.Gene-Eden.com and consider trying it now. Gene-Eden is also available at Amazon.com.
