In this episode Dr. Kharrazian explores the world of chronic infections, such as Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), Hepatitis C, Covid, and Human Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and their impact on our immune system. He explores how some pathogens hide within our bodies and reemerge when our immunity is compromised.
He discusses the latest research linking these infections to autoimmune diseases and even cancer, and emphasizes the importance of enhancing our immune defenses rather than just relying on antiviral treatments. He covers a wide range of topics from the basics of virology, the dynamics of long COVID, and the sobering realities of Hepatitis C and Human Papillomavirus (HPV), to the ripple effects of viral infections on our overall health.
