Mononucleosis leads to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), study finds

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 11, 2010 -- Infectious mononucleosis in teenagers increases the risk of chronic fatigue syndrome.

Researchers in Chicago have found that teenagers, girls specifically, tend to have an increased risk of developing chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). The authors of the study explained that “six, 12, and 24 months after infectious mononucleosis, 13%, 7%, and 4% of adolescents, respectively, met the criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome.” (1) CFS, as the Center for Disease Control (CDC) explains, can be debilitating, with those worst infected suffering from “an all-encompassing fatigue that results in a dramatic decline in both activity level and stamina.” (3)

A real danger of CFS is the ease at which it “can be misdiagnosed or overlooked because its symptoms are common to many other disorders.” (3) Mononucleosis can also be easily missed, as symptoms include “fever, sore throat, and fatigue,” which can be mistaken for the common cold or flu. (2) Early recognition and treatment of mononucleosis and CFS are important. According to the CDC, there is “evidence to indicate that the sooner a person is treated, the better the chance of improvement.” (3)

Gene-Eden is an antiviral supplement designed to counter viral diseases such as mononucleosis and CFS. The development of Gene-Eden was inspired by Dr. Hanan Polansky’s finding of the relationship between latent viruses and chronic diseases. Gene-Eden is effective against chronic diseases because of its antiviral ingredients. These antiviral ingredients include; Green Tea Extract, Quercetin, Licorice Extract, Cinnamon Extract, and Selenium. Hundreds of scientific papers have demonstrated the antiviral effects of each of these ingredients. Noting the long-term risks of infectious mononucleosis, the study’s authors remind us that “female gender and greater fatigue severity (during mononucleosis)… were associated with the development of chronic fatigue syndrome in adolescents.” (1) If you are suffering from mono and would like to reduce the risks of developing CFS, you should consider trying Gene-Eden.

The Center for the Biology of Chronic Disease (CBCD, http://www.cbcd.net) is a research center recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) non-for-profit organization. The mission of the CBCD is to advance the research on the biology of chronic diseases, and to accelerate the discovery of treatments for these diseases. The CBCD published the “Purple” book by Dr. Hanan Polansky. The book presents Dr. Polansky’s highly acclaimed scientific theory on the relationship between the DNA of latent (chronic) viruses and the onset of chronic diseases. Dr. Polansky’s book is available as a free download from the CBCD website.
