Electrodermal Screening and Chronic Fatigue: Identifying Epstein-Barr Virus
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a complex and often misunderstood condition that can be difficult to diagnose and treat. One of the underlying causes of CFS is believed to be the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a common virus that can cause infectious mononucleosis, or "mono." Electrodermal screening (EDS) can be a useful tool for identifying the presence of EBV in individuals with chronic fatigue. Here's what you need to know.
How EDS Works
EDS measures the electrical resistance of the skin to provide information about the body's energy system. A practitioner will use a small device to apply a mild electrical current to the skin, typically on the fingers or toes. The device then measures the electrical resistance of the skin at various points on the body. Changes in skin conductivity can indicate areas of imbalance in the body's energy system.
Identifying EBV with EDS
EBV is a common virus that is spread through bodily fluids, such as saliva. It is estimated that up to 90% of adults have been infected with EBV at some point in their lives, and for most people, the infection does not cause any symptoms. However, in some cases, EBV can cause mononucleosis, a condition characterized by fever, fatigue, sore throat, and swollen glands. In addition, EBV has been linked to chronic fatigue syndrome.
EDS can be used to identify the presence of EBV in individuals with chronic fatigue. Specifically, EDS can detect imbalances in the body's energy system that may be associated with EBV. This information can be used to develop a personalized treatment plan for chronic fatigue that takes into account the individual's unique needs.
It is important to work with a qualified healthcare practitioner to develop a treatment plan for chronic fatigue and EBV that takes into account the individual's unique needs.
Electrodermal screening can be a valuable tool for identifying the presence of EBV in individuals with chronic fatigue. This information can be used to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses the underlying causes of chronic fatigue and promotes healing. If you are struggling with chronic fatigue, consider speaking with a qualified healthcare practitioner about the benefits of EDS.
