Mononucleosis symptoms are varied and range in degree according to the person who develops them. The initial symptoms include feeling tired or lack of energy, a loss of appetite and chilling.

These are the symptoms that usually occur at the onset of the virus. They may last from one to three days before the person experiences the more severe mononucleosis symptoms.

Severe symptoms include a sore throat, a fever and the lymph nodes will become swollen. The fever may range from 102 degrees to 104 degrees. Approximately one-third of people who have mononucleosis will develop a white coating on the tonsils.

About 50% of people with mononucleosis symptoms include an enlarged spleen. There can be a rash that appears on the body that is similar to measles. This is experienced by about 5% of people with mononucleosis.

The liver can become swollen and may not function normally. When the virus is first contracted, there can also be temporary swelling of the upper eyelids. Symptoms that are the basis of a diagnosis of mononucleosis can be detected by a physician who performs blood tests.

Often the increase in a specific type of white blood, lymphocytes, will be seen. They have an abnormal appearance under a microscope and this is often suggestive of mononucleosis.

The presence of monospot and heterophile antibodies is a sign that
is relied on by doctors in the diagnosis of mononucleosis.

It is important to note that mononucleosis symptoms after an initial outbreak of the infection can be symptoms of chronic mononucleosis. It is highly contagious so the person displaying symptoms should refrain from kissing or sharing glasses with anyone else.

To help relieve symptoms there are a variety of treatments, including taking acetaminophen, ibuprofen and plenty of rest.

Mononucleosis is caused by the Epstein Barr virus; therefore, the need for a preventative measure that stops the immune system from becoming compromised is necessary. This virus is one that lies dormant in the body and can become active when the immune system is weakened.

The old adage, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure", may be the key. A plant that has lived on earth for more than 12,000 years has shown results that are truly amazing.

The plant is called Shegoi by Native Americans, who have used it for hundreds of years for its healing properties. Over the past 15 years, the extract from the plant, Virastatin, now known as larreastatin has been tested by scientists.

The results that were found show this extract has a powerful affect on the immune system. The natural antioxidants in the extract heighten the body's natural defenses and help to stop cellular damage.

Virastatin and Vemma, another natural product, have shown to be quite powerful when it comes to providing antioxidants that help the body fight free radicals.

Protecting cells from destruction by free radicals helps to keep the immune system strong so it can fight the viral infection that is the cause of mononucleosis.

Approximately 95% of the population carries this virus even when they are not infected. The possibility of the virus recurring is always present. Vemma has all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients needed to help the body stay healthy.

Even those who eat healthy benefit since it is virtually impossible to eat enough of the foods needed on a regular basis to provide the nutrition of Vemma.

When it comes to mononucleosis treatment, these are the only all natural products that have shown to be effective.
