[YEA]  08/24/2009: Thereishope from Granby, Ma: "I was diagnosed with Herpes over 3 years ago and like most newly diagnosed people, I thought my life was over. I believed the doctors when they told me there was no cure, I took their drugs and didn't ask questions. That is until I became fed up with having an outbreak every month. I started researching, getting the facts and the truth about this virus. Through my research I came across Red Marine Algae. All I can tell you is that I stopped taking Valtrex, (which actually made me feel more sick and sluggish) and started taking RMA. At the first sign of an outbreak, I took 4 pills daily on an empty stomach with plenty of water and continued this for 60 days, even after the outbreak was gone. The first time I tried RMA I was happy with how quickly I healed and the outbreak was less severe than the outbreaks I had on Valtrex. I only had one more outbreak and did the same thing...took the pills (which you're supposed to take for at least two months after your intial sign of an outbreak to help wipe it out). Since then I haven't had an outbreak. I have been outbreak free for two years and two months! Along with that I also changed my eating habits, eliminating soda, fast food, processed sugars and flours, trans-fats, high-fructose corn syrup and beef. Exercise also helps, even if it is just walking 20 minutes a day. All I have to say is that RMA has worked for me and I have tried a lot of things. For the first year I took Valtrex and suffered every month, the past two and a half years I tried RMA twice and have seen incredible results. My advice is to do your own research, use common sense and keep your body happy and healthy!! There is hope, don't give up!"

09/02/2012: Flowerlittle74 from Ann Arbor, Mi: "I am on day 5 of my first genital herpes outbreak. As many of you know from experience, I am struggling mentally and physically. While I am very happy to have stumbled upon this website, I am feeling overwhelmed with so many treatment ideas listed here.

This is what I have done thus far:

1. Started taking approx 3,000mg of Lysine (started today).

2. Taking vitamin C and echinacea to boost my immune system.

3. Increased my water intake (at first I was scared to drink fluids because urinating was so painful that it made me nauseous and shake/cry each time.. however increased water intake has decreased the acidity of my urine - making it almost pain free to pee).

4. Using a blow dryer to keep area damp-free. Also using corn starch to dry out area even more (All websites, except one, has said that this was safe and effective).

5. Ordered BHT (350mg pills) and Wild Mediterranean oil of oregano 86%/Carvacrol 100% (pure full strength - that I will dilute prior to use).

6. Scheduled an appointment with my gynecologist for tuesday to confirm the diagnosis and look into more treatment options.

Soooo....my main questions is: What is a good way to start beating this? I know it is possible that I will have only mild outbreaks from here on out (many say the first is the worst), no more outbreaks - just mild symptoms, or years of painful breakouts that will interfer with my life. Rather than wait a week or two after my initial outbreak is over to find out if I'm going to start round 2... I would like to start treating my body now (safely).

Any suggestions on where to start? I rarely drink alcohol so I am already going to completely kick that out of my life. I exercise and play soccer multiple times per week, I do not smoke or do drugs, and I do not drink pop/diet pop. I also dont use artificial sweeteners. I'm hoping that part of my lifestyle will already prove to be beneficial in beating this.

I am also going to start a journal on positive thinking. I do not want to fall into a depression or become highly anxious over this. I want to beat it. I want to feel healthy again. I want to be able to think about something other than this.

I look forward to your replies."

07/11/2012: "Read my blog on onion/garlic cure where two individuals with GH has been cured. One of the things they did was turned vegan in addition to the above mentioned drink they made daily( they had time to make daily) but you can oput in fridge like I do. They totally changed they diet. In the mean time have her eat lots of flounder which will prevent OB while she works on a cure. I eat flounder, cod or tilapia which is loaded with lysine when I cannot get flounder but I stopped eating all meat. Once I get rid of GH I will stop eating fish as well. I am eating fish while I work on a cure."

08/09/2011: Maryland from Los Angeles, Ca, Usa replies: "Go to the doctor while you still have the lesions, so they will be able to better diagnose.

Now, the problem of having both is that it puts you in a higher risk of getting HIV. Have sex with condoms only. Be safe."

08/07/2011: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Very much has been written about the use of BHT [ butylated hydroxytoluene ] for the treatment of genital herpes for a very many years. My focus is BHT as a treatment for hepatitis C. A websearch will provide much information about BHT as a treatment for genital herpes....Oscar"

08/08/2011: Uta from Aberdeen, Uk replies: "Try Melissa, lemon balm or other antivirals, echinacea, (every 2 hours that's how long the antiviral qualities last), calendula, st johns worth, olive leaf, origano.. A herbalist will make you up a bottle and give you something to use topically."

[YEA]  05/25/2009: J. from Costa Mesa, CA: "Genital Herpes - Rubbing Alcohol - Yeah!

I've had outbreaks for 10 years now of GH. I swear by Rubbing Alcohol topically. At the first sign of a funny feeling I grab a cotton ball soak it in Rubbing Alcohol 91% and swipe both labia.

GH likes warm and moist. It doesn't like cool and dry - the rubbing alcohol creates an inhospitable environment. I also use it during an outbreak to dry up the lesions quicker. It hurts when there is a sore but I've found lightly spanking my leg helps me distract until the burning is gone and the treatment helps speed recovery by quite a bit.

Use as many times a day as needed - also very discrete as rubbing alcohol can be used for lots of household things."

06/02/2011: Frustrated504 from New Orleans, La replies: "hi, I am a 20 year old female living with Genital Herpes. I am currently having an outbreak and I have rubbing alcohol but I'm terrified to use it but I desperately need this outbreak to subside.... I feel like shit... I stopped taking Valtrex because it just made me really sick so Im searching for the best remedy for me and I pray that the alcohol doesn't burn me to pieces."

06/12/2011: Hopeful from New Orleans, La/united States replies: "Hey I feel your pain. Rubbing alcholol does help to dry it out and relieve the itching but it does burn when you put it on. I would say hold it on there for about 10 seconds if you can stand it. Valtrex is poison. I would try natural remedies first. I am going to try the oxgen drops yet, as soon as I find somewhere to buy them and there is this website called dherbs. Com, there is an antiviral formula that has helped lessen my outbreaks. It's $24.95 and there's an antiviral cleans that's like $164. I can't afford that right now and you have to eat raw foods when you are doing the cleanse.

Try to keep the area clean and dry. Take a bath im epsom salt to relieve the pain and tea tre oil (they sell it at walgreens) helps with itching.

You are not alone. Much love, peace, and healing to you."

09/06/2011: Shawnee from Santa Barbara, Ca replies: "I purchased that cleans from Dherbs.com. Be very careful with that cause you can't get your $ back. They don't give refunds, which is bogus. I tried the cleanse twice and it made me very sick and I couldn't stop throwing up. They fail to tell you to start off with 1 pill a day. I read the instructions and was only able to take the 1st dose of 5 pills from the 1st bottle in the morning they tell you to take. I ended up having to call them on my way to the emergency room cause I've never felt that awful in my life from taking there nasty herbs. Just be careful!! I don't recommend them at all."

02/07/2009: Danny from Singapore replies: "Marilyn from Calgary ...Please do not use rubbing alcohol although it may help. According to Dr Hulda Reghr Clark rubbing alcohol , which is propyl alcohol, together with an intestinal fluke called fasciolopsis buskii, are two factors invariably implicated in cancer cases. Stabilized Oxygen and an extract of garlic called allicin (available for both internal and external use), among other natural remedies, would be be preferable. 'First of all do no harm'!"

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  02/21/2009: Anonymous from La Costa, CA replies: "I am on my second day of trying this and I feel quite hopeful. I will report back in a while with my results."

02/24/2009: Anonymous from La Costa, CA replies: "QUESTIONS FOR TED:

1. Do you think using rubbing alcohol to fight herpes is a good idea or do you feel that it is a harmful chemical for the body?

2. I have continuous breakouts...FOR YEARS. I mean I pretty much NEVER go without some sign of a break out (Genital herpes...and it breaks out only on my lower back and buttocks region). This is driving me crazy. Do you feel that I cannot use honey or black strap molasses for remedies. Also, when a new breakout occurs, it screws up my digestive system and causes me to have constipation.

3. Also, recently, I have been having a burning feeling in my right breast and under my rib case. Do I need a liver gall bladder cleanse? I eat quite well--lots of salads, fruits, veggies, no processed foods (however, up until a couple of years ago, I ate lots of ice cream and some other sweets--even though it made me break out.) I can't eat nuts--that really aggravates a break out--especially if combined with chocolate. I haven't been eating any sweets now--except for a little honey (up to 1 TBSP) and a little Black Strap Molasses (1-2 TBSP). It seems like if I eat the black strap molasses, I break out--which makes me mad because I like the energy from BSM and honey. I am so sick of this! I was diagnosed with this in 1998, but had a lot of nerve pain on since 1980 (primarily on one side of my body). One thing I will say is that I have less pain and flu symptoms, especially since taking the ACV.

So again, my questions are: 1. Rubbing Alcohol--good or bad? 2. Honey and BSM? 3. The burning in my right breast plate/rib area.

Thank you in advance."

[YEA]  01/20/2008: KEN from RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA: "At 40 I starting using Saw Palmetto for BPH, benign prostatic hypertrophy (enlargement of the prostate) to control the life altering affects of not being able to urinate and feeling like you have to pee all the time. I have had genital herpes since 1983 or so. I had stress related outbreaks 1-2 times a month for 2o years. healing time about a week. I noticed, how could I not notice that I have had only 1 very small fast heeling (1day) painfree outbreak in 18 months. I take 450 mg once a day in the morning. I also have oral herpes, oh that is embarrassing to say the least. About six months ago I started using an online product from healing natural oils. www. amoils. com I would also get stress related outbreaks on my lips about once a month, with 1-2 weeks to heal. I rub the oil under my feet twice a day. I would always get an out break after being outside all day. Now I have a high stress outbreak about every 6 months, it does not turn into a blister and heals in 24 hours. No unsightly sores to embarrass me in public. I never get an outbreak after being outdoors or camping. I used saw palmetto a year before using the oil, so I know that the saw palmetto worked for me. Hope someone finds this helpful."

[YEA]  04/22/2008: Sue from Montreal, Canada: "This site is a blessing is all I can say. I tried almost every remedy on the site for genital herpes and they didn't work for me personally. My herpes is somewhat asymptomatic i don't have any pain just an itchy bump. Last year I had one that broke open and my doctor said it was herpes. Anyway I got another this past monday so I bought stabalized oxygen last night. I added 8 drops to a 8 oz glass of water before i went to bed. This morning the bump is almost gone and no more itch!!! I used and oxygen that also has amino acid & trace minerals. The studies and testimonials i've read about oxygenation made sense to me. I think you need to kill the virus from the inside out ... i will get tested again I pray for a negative test . Best of luck to all of you. I've also prayed alot I feel God led me to a cure."

05/07/2008: Brenda from Tampa, FL replies: "Susan from Montreal ... Just wondering how the Stabilized Oxygen is working for you. Please contact me to let me know. Thanks you!"

[YEA]  06/09/2008: Anonymous replies: "I found out about Stabilized Liquid Oxygen and DMSO and used both whenever I felt an outbreak coming on. I used to have between 2 and 4 outbreaks a year. I have not had a single outbreak in 2 years. They stopped after using the S.L.O. and DMSO, only when I felt an outbreak coming on, for approximately a year. I really couldn't believe it. I kept waiting for another outbreak thinking I just hadn't been stressed enough to trigger one, but 2 years later, nothing, and I've definitely had some serious, nervous breakdown, kind of stress during that period. I also told a friend of mine, who has had HSV1 since she was a kid, about it, and she used it with great success also. I tried to go back and get a blood test to see if I was "cured", but the doctor said it would be a waste of money because the virus is so illusive. She said even if you've been diagnosed it is not always present in the bloodstream. I guess this is because of the virus being either active or inactive. I also have a feeling she thought it was pointless because according to them, once you've got it, you've got it for life. I don't know if I am cured, but I will tell you, since I was diagnosed in 2000, I had never gone more than 6 months without an outbreak, and here I am 2 years, outbreak free. I am not on any medication or anything. I only used it when I first found out, and had no success with it. It seemed to actually make me break out more frequently so I stopped. If you can afford to pay for that prescription every month, giving this a shot is nothing. I don't know how it will work for others, but I wish everyone great success with it. No one deserves to live with the discomfort or emotional pain of this disease. Best of luck!"

Your post is dated June 2008. Are you still doing well with stabilized oxygen?

Can you be more specific in your treatment routine? Ex. specific type, amounts and times per day?

Want to try but so much stuff on web to sort through and I prefer to try something someone has had success with."

09/08/2011: Im Free from Charlotte, Nc replies: "I believe oxygen is the way to go however this is my method. I use Baking Soda water, Its very alkaline and it raises your ph balance in your body killing viruses. I test my urine with ph strips and see that my body stays at around 7.2 ph. However from my understanding Baking soda water can strip other vitamins away. SO I take Vitimans made from bee products to replenish what the soda can take away. I usually have 2 or three outbreaks every one two two weeks, but since Ive been doing this ive been outbreak free over a year. Im sure your other products work but bakind soda is 2 bucks and its last a while. The be vitams run me 20 bucks a month but you may find vitamins cheaper or better but the combination of the two has worked wonders

PS

A teaspoon in a 16 onz bottle is enough two much and the taste is not pleasent what also helps is letting the bottle sit for a while letting the baking soda disolve a lil."
