HELPFUL DEFINITIONS

Prenuvo Scan: A Prenuvo scan is a full-body MRI scan that uses magnetic fields to image the body and screen for disease. Prenuvo scans are non-invasive, radiation-free, and can detect hundreds of conditions. 

“Herxing”: A Herxheimer reaction, also known as a Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction, is a temporary worsening of symptoms that can occur after starting antibiotic treatment for certain bacterial infections, such as Lyme disease, syphilis, and leptospirosis. 

Liver Flukes: Liver flukes are parasites that can infect humans and cause liver and bile duct disease.

Epstein-Barr: Epstein-Barr virus, or EBV, is one of the most common human viruses in the world. EBV is also known as human herpesvirus 4 and is a member of the herpes virus family. Most people will get infected with EBV in their lifetime, especially in childhood, and will not have symptoms. EBV infections in children usually do not cause symptoms, or the symptoms are not distinguishable from other mild, brief childhood illnesses.

Herpes 6: Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is a common virus that causes roseola in children. Like all herpes family viruses, HHV-6 stays in your body for life but usually remains dormant (inactive).  This is not the same variant of the Herpes virus that causes genital Herpes or cold sores - that’s Herpes Simplex 1 and 2.
