Some Herpes Solutions
Herpes is a viral disease that “hides” mostly in fatty tissue that surrounds nerve cells and pathways.Herpes Simplex comes in two forms that are actually the same virus in different loca.
Herpes Simplex 1: This is the most common, and it usually occurs on or around the lips, (commonly known as cold sores) but it can occur anywhere on the body. It is often transmitted to other persons via kissing.
Herpes Simplex 2: This is actually the same virus as #1 above, but is found generally on the genital regions, and is usually transmitted by sexual contact It has become known as a sexually transmitted disease..
Herpes Zoster: Also known as “Shingles”, this can be the most painful of all. It is considered to be a “left-over” or mutated form of chicken pox that lies dormant (or can) for many years and suddenly appears. It affects many older persons.
All of these forms are generated to a large extent by stress as a major factor.There are several other factors involved however. Understanding these factors is important in preventing outbreaks.
Herpes viruses require a certain imbalance of two amino acids to reproduce. These are Argenine and Lysine. If, and when, the Argenine level gets high, and the Lysine level gets low, conditions are favorable and Herpes comes out to play (reproduce).
The usual first notice is an itch that rapidly becomes as small reddened areas with very small pimples. Don’t kiss anyone or have sex without a condom (depending on the area of the Herpes outbreak) during this time. Herpes is spread by simple contact, and is very infectious.
There is no cure for herpoid viruses to date. Herpes is estimated to affect 80 million people in America, and about 20% of the US population has genital Herpes.
So, while we cannot cure it, we do have some control of outbreaks. If we keep the level of Lysine high, the conditions for reproduction are limited. (Another benefit of high Lysine levels is that it seems to help keep the heart healthy). It should be noted that this is not always that simple. Our diet is important. Sugar, chocolate, and nuts are high in Argenine, and many athletes use Argenine as strength building.Herpes shows up when there are a lot of sweets and nuts, typically Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and has been called the “holiday disease.
I’ve had genital Herpes for 60 years, and have never infected another person to my knowledge.Years ago, I learned what is written here, and was careful not to infect others.
Over the years, my requirement for Lysine has increased.Taking 1000 mg of Lysine a day is good for me to prevent Herpes from showing up. (I drink “dark” chocolate instead of coffee most days.)
Dealing with an outbreak
We humans still fail even with the best intentions. We overeat those foods that are high in Argenine, and we have stress almost constantly, so we will get outbreaks. There are different remedies available, some prescription, and some over-the-counter (OTC).
First take care of the affected skin area.The area should be kept clean and dry during episodes. Avoid physical contact with the area from the time of first noticing symptoms (typically tingling, itching, burning) until all sores are completely healed, not just scabbed-over. Until that time, you and your “discards” are highly infectious.Any residue including the scabs that is on you or your clothes is dangerous, and can re-infect you or others.
Next, treat the outbreak carefully. Valtrex and similar ointments do help to dry up the infection quickly, but I found a simpler and much cheaper way years ago. I simply wet an edge of a bar of ordinary soap, (or a drop of liquid soap) and rub it all over and around the affected area, coating it with a layer of soap. I then scratch the area, and break the small pimples while doing this. This kills the virus and disinfects the area.
I wash my hands thoroughly after doing this, then let the soapy area dry before putting on clothes. Tiny scabs are formed immediately, and within a few days, the tiny scabs are gone and the skin is “normal”.
MD’s and Big Pharma may disagree with the above, but it’s worked for me and many others for years.A no-brainer - soap is cheap and available, and you avoid doctors and drugs.
If you understand and follow these simple instructions, then Herpes Simplex isn’t that much of a problem.
