Hey there! My name is Bianca Bonus. yes, that's my real last name :) I’m 33. I was born in the Philippines and moved to California with my family when I was 12. I live in La Jolla in San Diego. I’m a yoga teacher, lifestyle model, and finance professional. Currently plant-based (since June 2021) and I'm all about minimalism, intentional living, and health & wellness.
My intention for creating this channel is to bring some light into your day and share a moment in time with you. I also hope to share insights that I've learned that can help you on your path too.
Do you notice that the symptoms got a little better with certain parts of your cycle? I.e like feeling better when you ovulate vs that time of the month being miserable? Did you have a fever as well? I didn’t hear you mention that. I’ve been sick since Feb and this was trigger after I got the Flu type B
Thank you for sharing ❤ it helps a lot, as well as AW and Medical Medium books to understand this EBV infection and mysterious illnesses/ symptoms ..happy to see you are fully recovered!
A High IGG is normal, it just means your body has anti-bodies. Sometimes peoples go down, some peoples don't. 90 percent of the population has this. The disease is highly contagious, guess what, her boy friend has it too... If you have Igm with high levels of IgG and EBNA then your virus is active. This is very very common and 90 percent of the time not life threatening (unless yuu have a auto-immune disorder)
Hi my monstera is an old plants but leaves are few and it has just regrown again tall but very few leaves. It is slowly growing taller but just a shoot really n very few leaves . Im trying to make it spread onto a screen inside . Any suggestions as what to do?
@@BiancaBonusi did use mustard cake powder and vermi compost some time back The plant has not been repotted for more than 3years. It kind of shortened last year abd now again tall but small sparse leaves
Wow! You went at the perfect time!! I recommend trying Snowbasin if you love Deer Valley. The lodges are even nicer. It’s more of a locals vibe too which is nice.
Love 💖 from India Madam please reply. Joint pain, muscle pain, sore throat, body fatigue are the symptoms of EBV. People infected with this virus die very quickly
Thank you so much! I just had my annual physical / lab work at my primary care doctor and happy to report that my labs are great and all at normal ranges. They didn't test any EBV specific markers. And overall as long as I eat healthy and try to get sleep and lower my stress when it gets too high, I am generally good! I still can't eat gluten because I get reactions and I don't do eggs (I've read this feeds the virus) and I also don't do dairy because I'm allergic. Long periods of stress can activate some shingles-type symptoms for me though, so I prioritize self care. Because of the shingles symptoms, I also stopped drinking alcohol because it worsens some nerve issues along my neck/arm/fingers.

Thank you so much I feel like I’ve been dying in desperation, just had a baby and all the symptoms went away and now coming back. I also was told I have lupus than ebv?? Anyone else been diagnosed with something else?
I'm sorry to hear that. :( The symptoms went away for you during pregnancy and came back after? In my early 20s, I had swollen lymph nodes and my bloodwork was showing high ANA? levels or something like that and the doctor said it could be pre-lupus. Not sure pre-lupus is even a possibility but all these years later, no lupus thankfully. How did they diagnose you with lupus?
@@BiancaBonus no I’ve just stopped MM. not sure how I feel about stopping still very conflicted. Spent 4 years before that chasing Lyme disease. Now I’m thinking about going on antivirals next
Happy you got support. I'm from Southern Africa. They just do an HIV test here and it came out positive. Going back to my exes, they were all negative. Moved on with their, now, partners and had children. Thank you for your video. Think of getting an EBV test.
Finally. Some answers. I have EBV. Really struggling with my insides( spleen and indigestion) such pain under my ribs. Not alot of information on this virus in South Africa. I struggle with stress alot so i think the stress flames it. I'm a single mother of a 6 year's old. I spend days crying and in pain. I do this drink. I don't smoke. I try to eat healthy and only on natural medication. I'm actually scared feel like I'm failing this and the virus is winning.
Thank you for sharing this. Really sorry this virus has affected you also. Your feelings of the virus winning makes sense. Virus replicates and causes symptoms, so I think that is what you are feeling. I hope you can find a way to treat it using supplements (L Lysine is one), avoiding food that can cause flare ups, reducing stress, and seeing what naturopathic resources you can get access to.
Unpopular opinion-im only 33 going through some "weird" symptoms myself. After taking an ebv test my NP told me it was active but convinced me that wasnt the root of my problem. So after doing some digging on the internet i joined Live Disease Free program convinced that i was dealing with a parasite infection or fungal (which im treating both now, although it hasnt relieved my symptoms). It hasnt all been a wash though because in the program Pam (the lady who guide/runs it talks about chlorine dioxide). I wouldn't look it up on google they will scare you. She actually gave a lot of great resources and podcasts like Dr Andrew Kalcker etc talking about how it gives oxygen to your body and kills fungus, larasites, viruses. A lot of ppl have used it to cure many different ailments. I have not tried it yet orally but i have heard many great healings from it --including viral-- is my point. So maybe its something to look into. Theres a lot of propaganda against it but i also feel like our medical world does not want us well.. just a suggestion to do some research
i dont believe the synonyms and classificiations describing ONE plant based on their growths/size stages. Thesres only one monstera deliciosa and one is younger (or perhaps more neglected which stunned their growth) and the other is older (or just better cared for). Your normal monstera you bought at ikea can get just as huge and holey under optimal conditions as like every other one. If she planted her monstera into outdoor soil in florida this plant would slowly take over her whole garden and climb up trees and sprout fruits if healthy and strong. Not a "super size small form" anymore but a "super duper giant ultimate big size form"
@Krolted when you buy a monstera at most big box stores or nurseries you are getting a borginsana, aka small form. These aren't actually deliciosa, they are another plant. I have about 8 small form and one large, and the large is a different animal with much more fenistrations.
Love love looove this video. Let me tell you , You are SO LUCKY to have someone by your side when going thru this nightmare. I was alone and so lost and depressed. I think i’m having a reactivation now ( hope not ) Thanks for sharing your story❤
I appreciate you saying that. It was a dark time because he didn’t quite understand what was going on with me and it took effort to get him to see what was happening. He got on board with the massive changes I did especially going vegan essentially overnight. I’m now more flexible with it since I feel better but I still feel best eating clean. Can always send me a dm anytime you feel alone. You will get through this!
That last satin dress with the overskirt was amazing on you.. 🤩 Thank you for trying them on because its nice to see someone with a small body frame and how it would look on someone like myself as well. That dress was timeless!!
Hi thank you for sharing ur healing journey. I was diagnosed with epstein bar virus in 2020. I had the worst symptoms and 2022 december i stated experiencing joint pain and now the information is so extreme that i cant even eat gluten or any inflammatory foods. My vitamin D levels are also very low ( 8.5) so i am stated taking 5000iu . My bone also hurt, chronic fatigue and weakness, sleep apnea symptoms etc. The list is endless my dia. Have you experienced joint pain when u were still very sick? I now want to also try a functional doctor
Hey, ja ich habe Gelenkschmerzen, Muskelschmerzen, habe viel abgenommen und habe Kraftlosigkeit in den Armen und Beinen. Ich habe wirklich sehr viele Symptome, aber lebe auch seit 6 Monaten mit Ungewissheit! Hätte ich vor Monaten gewusst es ist ebv, dann wäre es nicht so weit gekommen! Jetzt achte ich auf meine Ernährung, Bewegung, Stress vermeiden usw. Es tut sich etwas ❤ Ich wünsche uns allen gute Besserung ! Ich nehme übrigens Vitamin D als Tropfen ein! Mein Wert lag vor ein paar Monaten bei 19 jetzt bei 65 (?) Also hat das sehe viel gebracht. Ich fand die Tabletten nicht so schön.
Hi Bianca, thanks for sharing all of this. So, I contracted CMV (Cytomegalovirus - a betaherpesvirus) from my ex-partner and I had suffered from mono like symptoms (for 3-4 days only) but since then I'm asymptomatic (it has been more than 1.5 yrs). I'm constantly worried and full of anxiety that what if CMV will cause greater issues once I get old (maybe in my 50s, 60s or beyond), and is it fatal? I have read so many research publications online about CMV, it also causes latent persistent infection but I had my blood test done very recently and my report came out absolutely normal. I had normal ranges of neutrophils (slightly at higher end of the normal range), normal lymphocytes, a little less absolute monocyte count, normal total leucocyte count, and normal CRP. Do you have any idea if this virus is a threat to my well-being and will I have serious health issues later on in life? and any steps that I can take to keep this virus in remission? p.s: As per my recent test for CMV, my CMV IgG is 90 AU/mL (which is positive) and CMV IgM is negative. I'm in my late 20s. p.p.s: I had a breakup 8 months back due to which I went into a lot of stress and anxiety which rose my CMV IgG levels to 127 AU/mL back in May 2023. I also wanted to sue my ex for lying to me that he was a virgin. So, after our first physical meeting (that's when I contracted CMV), i got to know (I made him reveal it all) that he had done oral sex. He also told me that he didn't know that he has CMV. After getting to know all of this I was truly devastated and have had visited to several docs, all of them telling me that CMV is not harmful to immunocompetent people (like EBV, i guess). My family advised me to not go for the court case as it will not only be waste of time and money but it will hugely impact my mental health. I'm huge huge overthinker and sometimes I get bad anxieties thinking about what will happen when i'm 60 years above of age. As you also know immunity weakens in old age and that is when opportunistic pathogens like CMV and EBV can reactivate and cause harm. I'm literally depressed right now and your thoughts on this would be truly appreciated!
I'm really sorry to hear you are going through all of this. One of the few resources I've seen talk about CMV is Medical Medium. He has a lot of resources online and I think it will help you with the physical and emotional symptoms you are feeling. Wishing you healing.
@@BiancaBonus Hey there, how are you doing now? And thanks so much for responding. I searched MM on RU-vid and found his channel but I couldn't find any of his video related to CMV. Could you please help me out with the same?
My 20 Year tested positive for EBV/Mono. He started having bad allergies for a few months, then a few days of fatigue than started saying he was feeling dizzy sort of drunk and then slurred speecv. After a visit to ENT, he said it was not vertigo but concerned he could be having a stroke. Took him to the hospital where they ran a bunch of test and there they tested him for mono. He has severe elevated liver enzymes, inflammed spleen, inflammed kidney but what is worst is he developed a cerebellar ataxia which has left him bed ridden as he is unable to walk unassisted, he is unable to move as anything triggers diziness and nausea. His speec is that of a 3-4 year old. Its been only 2 weeks and I am doing everything I can to help him recover. Please if you feel sick do not stop researching until you get a diagnostic. I wish his primary had done bloodwork when he complained about his fatigue, naybe he would have not ended this bad. So the doctor he is now seeing said the first focus is to try and bring all inflamation down. His treatement is based on steroids, acid reducers and anstihistamines. Next we will need to see a neurologist and check bloodwork every so often to see how he is progressing.
Love this tradition so much and wish we could’ve done it! We ended up finishing all the cake. 😅 It happened to be exact for the 20 guests we had. We also flew to our honeymoon in Asia from the destination wedding in Canada so we wouldn’t have been able to freeze the leftovers back home in California. Thank you for sharing!
I've been struggling with chronic fatigue for six months after exposure to laminate floor outgassing + sleep deprivation. I've also been hypersensitive to ALL chemicals and had to replace wardrobe exposed to the VOC outgassing. It's only recently that I've become aware of EBV reactivation from my teen years with mono. My bloodwork is normal but my GP didn't mention EBV at all. Thanks for sharing info regarding celery juice and other recovery methods. This condition is real after all. #mustfindcure
Wow. I feel like mine got triggered from a full day of exposure to Clorox wipes when I deep cleaned my whole house without gloves or a mask. So hearing that yours got triggered from off gassing is validating my experience. Can you explain what kind of flooring that was? Was it laminate flooring that you installed in your own house and then because you were in your home a lot it caused you to get sick?
Hello. Yes, I still have Home Depot brand 'Traffic Master' laminate wood flooring in bedroom, which has been sealed off for several months. It's poison to my system. It's a dilemma because my landlord can't replace it for a while. And so, I believe the laminate outgassing caused sleep deprivation which triggered a massive stress event. The next morning, I woke up with my limbs feeling heavy like concrete. My condition has come a long way in six months, but the fatigue -- battery at 25% in morning, 50% during the day and evening -- remains despite many attempts to find a remedy. Chemical exposure is very hazardous to humans in the short term and long term. I have no choice but to sleep without any bed linens whatsoever and my wardrobe consists of thin athletic wear. Every textile I buy triggers a nerve + sensory reaction due to chemical outgassing. 😮 @BiancaBonus
@@drewforwardI feel for you Drew. Wow. Home is the one place you would think you can be comfortable and can relax. Thank you for sharing. I know exactly what you mean with the morning fatigue. In the thick of ebv, I would wake up in the morning and my eyes would be so heavy and I could barely open them. I believe you 💯 about the laminate flooring. One time, I toured a brand new construction home in a brand new development to relieve some curiosity and not even 30 minutes in the new home build, I had the absolute worst headache ever. I can only imagine how people feel once they move in.
@@BiancaBonus Hello again. I'm just now embarking on my celery juice journey. My supplementation is a complete Men's Multi + Omega 3. I will try to follow up with my 90-day results. I would like to know how you felt when your body returned to normal. Did you experience a gradual improvement in energy or did it all come rushing back at the 90-day mark? Thanks again!
Time warp results: After 21 days of drinking organic celery juice in the morning on an empty stomach, I experienced extreme digestive issues which forced me to stop 👎. And now, I'm thinking the crux of my chemical sensitivity -- which caused insomnia and chronic fatigue -- was Minoxidil hair regrowth formula 🤦♂ . I hope my posts will help somebody out there who is likely covering themselves in toxin overload without even knowing it. Even facial moisturizer or cheap furniture can add to the toxin buildup. Avoid formaldehyde in products. Good luck out there and never give up on your health! ❤
I’m also struggling with mono caused by EBV. But I’m improving taking the following things: 1. Lauricidin extract (3 scoops a day) 2. Licorice tincture (8 drops a day) 3. Olive leaf tincture (4 drops a day) 4. Artemisinin pills (100 mg a day), not many people know this is powerful against herpes viruses 5. Acyclovir pills (200 mg twice a day) 6. Grapefruit seed extract (250 mg a day)
Thank you so much. I have had EBV for 14 months.. I've been in bed all this time. I noticed my energy has improved a tiny bit. I cut out all dairy 10 months ago and am eating fruit, veg and bread. I'm going to start drinking celery juice. Honestly unless someone has experienced this they really can't imagine what it's like. I'm going to start to do naturotherapy/hydrotherapy. Looking at the positive - it has really taught me to look after myself and this has really been a time of God just telling me to love myself and let myself rest. Striving will just make it worse. I'm grateful you shared your experience. Thank you x
🥹 I resonate with this so much. It can be a very isolating time. I appreciate you for sharing what has been helping you and I wish you continued healing and more energy.
Im also struggling with EBV, so I know how bad it can be. and doctors dont take it seriously enough. But there is hope. Take some natural extracts that help fight it and also increase the immune system.
@@BiancaBonusI've had ebv for 2 months. Am I able to hold and hug my grandchildren? Or be around them? No one Will answer this not even the Drs. It's like they don't know enough to say.
Hi Laurie! From what I've searched online, 9 out of 10 people have been exposed to EBV in their lifetime, either from Mono or just in daily contact with people. And once you have the virus it stays dormant. If you have an active infection then I would probably refrain but if you feel like you've moved past the worst symptoms, I don't see why not. @@laurieengel8101
