[AlternativeAnswers] Herpes

 

There are some things that aren't curable, and Herpes is one of them.
Vitamin C will kill viruses only in the blood, and Herpes "hides" in the
fatty sheath of nerves where it is safe. It only comes out to reproduce
when the balance between Arginine and Lysine (two amino acids) goes towards
the Arginine side.

http://drbate.com/Ref/herpes.html is my webpage on this subject, and my
newsletter of 11/11 had this editorial:

My editorial this week is about Herpes. I came across an article in Pulse
of Natural Health newsletter that amazed me. It had a lot about herpes, and
extolled vitamin D at length as a tool in this fight. However, it only
mentioned Lysine at the end as an afterthought it seemed to me.
I've had herpes for 65 years. (I was an 18 year old sailor in the
Merchant Marine, and the girl in Venezuela looked OK).
I have been married to 3 wives, and have had sex with many more between
marriages, and never infected anyone.
The answer has been Lysine. I take 1000mg (one gram) of Lysine daily. It
seems, as I learned long ago, that it is impossible to kill Herpes once it
"settles" into nerve sheaths. Vitamin C kills all viruses in the blood, but
NOT in organs, and in the ridiculous RDA amounts, it hasn't much of a chance
to kill the Herpes as it enters the bloodstream.
Lysine and Arginine are two amino acids. It seems that when Arginine levels
get higher than Lysine levels, then conditions are favorable for Herpes to
come out of their hiding places and multiply. This is the small itchy
start. This quickly becomes a group of very small postules, and these
contain the Herpes virus, and if not taken care of, it can spread to other
parts of the body.
What foods are high in Arginine? Candy, Nuts, and other sweet items on the
menu at Christmas (and Halloween and Thanksgiving). Herpes is also known as
the "Christmas Disease".
So, keeping the Lysine levels high stops the outbreaks most of the time.
Even so, occasionally, we sufferers do tip this balance and once in a great
while, we feel (or see) Herpes again. In my case, I feel it on my back near
my spine and low down near L4. It starts a small itch, and that warns me to
take action.
Do I go out and buy the expensive drugs from Big Pharma? Not a chance. I
simply wet a finger, and rub that onto a bar of plain soap until I have a
damp soapy clot on the finger.
I then rub that onto the Herpes area, scratching it to break any of the tiny
pimples, and kill them with the soap. Yes, it's a small bit painful, but
not too bad. Let that area dry before putting clothes over the area, and
it's good for a day or more. It dries up and clots within a day or so,
and disappears quickly. Soap works better than all the Big Pharma expensive
drugs IMO.
It works every time, and kills off those viral cells that make it to the
"breeding area".
There's another value to using Lysine. Used with large quantities of
vitamin C, it has been proved to help healthy hearts keep healthy. At 83,
with atrial fibrillation, I can testify that my VA MD's are amazed at me. I
take no aspirin, no Coumadin or any other blood thinner (other than Vitamin
E. I do take 4 grams of vitamin C per day.
So, my advice is to take vitamin D3, and while that may help, take Lysine as
well, and take enough so that Herpes won't show up more than once or so a
year.
By the way, if you should live long enough, you'll probably get "shingles",
which is a form of Herpes that seems to be caused by a mutation of the
chicken pox virus from childhood. Taking large quantities of Lysine helps
to control the outbreak, and lowers the pain of this very painful disease.
I've had it, and learned a lot from that experience, and later research.
It is estimated that about 1 person in 4 in the USA has Herpes, so many of
you reading this may need this advice. I hope it helps.
