Epstein-Barr Virus: Part 2 with Dr Mark Donohoe

Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is a great barometer of the health of the host.

Following on from the immensely popular podcast Epstein-Barr Virus Part 1, Dr Mark Donohoe continues the story of EBV, focussing on the many medical and integrative interventions that have merit or promise for the EBV sufferer. In Dr Donohoe's own words, "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer - EBV transforms people".
