Suggest Treatment For Epstein Barr

Since being diagnosed with Epstein Barr over 20 years ago, I have had bouts, bad days etc.. over the years. Over the years, I have been able to control my bad days with colostrum, simple over the counter colostrum. More recently, my symptoms are always predictable by looking at my urine and the frequency. The darker foamy and odor of my urine, the better I feel. The lighter, no odor and constant trips to the bathroom, the worse I feel. What does this mean?
