COLLOIDAL SILVER, ICE
08/22/2011: Maryland from Los Angeles, Ca, Usa writes: "Use ice cubes on your genital when you are feeling that itching or tingling that tells you a new herpes outbreak is coming. Rub on the area that is itching as much as you can, several times a day if possible, and you'll prevent an outbreak!
I also used colloidal silver on my genital to decrease the size of a little lesion that felt like a pimple. I put colloidal silver on a cotton ball and kept on the area the whole night. In the morning, the lesion had disappeared completely! I used colloidal silver several times a day on my genital when itched (without the aid of the ice) and also worked wonders.
Those are treatments that work right away to avoid breakouts. Once you have a breakout, the ice won't work, but the colloidal silver will speed the healing process."

CORAL CALCIUM

[YEA] Eli from Homestead writes: "I have mad lots of research on Herpes HSV2. I have tried L-Lysine, Immune Boosters, Red Marine Algae, Olive Leaf, and a few other supplements. The only results I got was not getting sick. Or if I did get sick I was over it within 24HRS. Then I ran into several articles that stated viruses can not live or can not thrive in a alkaline environment. It made since to me because bacteria and parasites thrive in acidic environments. So I order Coral Calcium and some PH test trips. Before taking the Coral Calcium I tested my Urine on daily biases and frequently and I found out that my body was slightly acidic all the time. So I started taking the Coral Calcium and I got into a Alkaline Diet. As the days went by I started to notice that every time I tested my PH level with the PH trips that my body started to become more and more alkaline. And as of today my body is 95% of the time Alkaline and I have been out break free for two weeks so far. Compared to having an out break just about every week. I also noticed that drinking excessive alcoholic beverages would bring down my PH level very quickly and would allow me to get an outbreak. If you have any questions or comments please dont hesitate to e-mail me."

At the first sign of a tingle put the cream in the area and it heals so fast. This along with Lysine works better than prescription medication."

10/07/2008: Ray from Bangkok, Thailand writes: "Genital herpes Diet: I am aware that a healthy diet is important to prevent an outbreak of GH. Some readers swear to lay off peanuts, chocolate, oats, beer, wine, sugar, artificial sweetener etc. etc.
I wonder if a kind contributor could list out the type of food to avoid totally and also a recommended list to take to for GH sufferers.
Please pardon my ignorance. I am not sure whether the food I take is doing me any good. I take milk( pastuerised good milk) yoghurt, multigrain & wholewheat bread, hard cheese (Edam & Gouda). I also like brown rice, pasta, chicken,pork, salmon, ham, fresh salad. For fruits, I love banana. I heard it is a no no. Others include quava, grapefruit, kiwifruit, papaya, pineapple. I hope someone can point out which food/fruits I am taking is not suitable for me.
My GH regimen includes LLysine, BHT, Olive extract, Zinc, magnesium.
Hoping for a favorable response.
Thanks"
03/26/2010: Shelby from Evansville, Indiana replies: "If you google something such as "high lysine foods," you will find a complete listing of all of the foods that are ok for herpes, since high lysine foods are what starve the virus.
Papaya, beets, mango, apricots, applees, pears, loquat, figs, avacados, tomato juice and soybeans have the highest lysine content. Bananas are a no no because the lysine/arganine content is of equal ratio. Fish, meats and cheese are all high in lysine as far as I can tell, though I am just learning about this diet myself.
I contacted a friend of mine a month ago when I first contracted herpes. She has been dealing with it for a number of years and she highly recommended a zapper and sent me a link. I ordered it (she should know best) and have been doing it 2 times a day every day, including as many high lysine foods as possible and ACV. I am getting very good results - my only problem seemed to be recontamination, but the man is gone as of last week, so now I should be a-ok. The zapper is strange - it weakens the cell walls so suppliments and medicines become more effective.
Good luck to you - I am going to try to get a hold of an olive leaf...that sounds very interesting."

[YEA] 08/28/2008: Ann from Los Angeles, CA writes: "I am now still in early stages of using H2O2, so am avidly reading the entries for Candida. For herpes, I was clued into l-lysine some years ago, and it is great. Foods high in L-lysine are listed on the internet, and also foods high in arginine, which is in chocolate, nuts, popcorn, brown rice and other foods. Arginine is used in labs to GROW the Herpes virus, so those chocolate and nut snacks can give you an attack! I have purchased l-lysine over the internet and also at some grocers and health food stores, and just keep it handy. Often when I want to eat some chocolate, I pop some l-lysine soon after and no problem. It is a harmless amino acid and resets the balance in your system.
Candex is very good for Candida but so expensive, I am happily taking the H2O2 and wanted to check increasing the dosage from 8 drops in an 8 oz glass of water 3X a day and here is all this information for me! My Mother and Grandmother died young of breast cancer and I began researching things that cure cancer as I realize the AMA is not chock full of 100% doctors, and found ESSIAC. The herbs can be purchased pre-measured from the Herb Products Company in Hollywood. I am 62, teach yoga and breathing techniques, doing them myself daily and am very healthy!

I went to a clinic and they gave me the bad news. I asked what should i do when i get the outbreak as it was so painfull. The answer i got was "run and bath of warm water and pee it that ". mmmm very good. At that time there was no cream on the market or any other forms of treatment so it was a case of suffering for many days. I get the itch and the sore leg and the depression. But as time has gone on it has lessened and i have very few attacks so count myself luck in some respects but let me say i had my share and have sympathy with anyone who has herpes now even with all the treatments you can take. I did start to use a cream after many years called Zovirax which helped a lot.I do find or have found that a healthy diet and i don't mean drinking diet drinks and eating dietary food i mean eating veggies and drinking plenty of water seems to have helped me. I also do eat plenty of garlic and love spicy food.I also think that getting depressed about having herpes actually does not help as the depression brings on the attack. Maybe i am wrong but i feel that feeling down doesn ot help.So try and keep positive about the situation. Man it's not going to kill u unless u give it to the wrong person ahahahah."

After 8 years of very frequent outbreaks & almost daily medication i can say that i have finally found the key to my problem:a healthy diet. When i was diagnosed, i was never explained any information about how diet can influence or bring on an outbreak.I was told that antiviral medication is what i needed, with out any knowledge of other more healthier,natural alternatives. So since reading & sourcing as much information i could find on controlling my outbreaks, i discovered that eating foods high in alkaline & avoiding foods high in acid completely knocked out my outbreaks.

Try to eliminate sodas, anything artificial and meat from your diet if possible and anything with Yeast and ALL Fungus foods like Mushrooms, Cheese from Animals. -There are too many delicious alternatives today not to.
For the last twelve months we cut all yeast from our diet, began taking Olive Leaf Extract capsules for nearly twelve months and began drinking at least 2-3 cups of Cinnamon Tea with Honey daily [which I make every week]. We also incorporated Blackstrap Molases and Apple Cider Vinegar daily [1 tbs ea. to 8 oz. of room temperature distilled water] twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. In addition to our daily liquid vitamins, minerals, greens.
Anyway, we have not had any outbreaks or symptoms in at least the last nine months where we always had two to three outbreaks a year and I believe eating healthy foods like raw fruits and vegetables in addition to Olive Leaf Extract and Cinnamon [which are both anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-bacteria and kills yeast].
In regards to the Cinnamon tea, I usually heat up a large pot of water boil for 15 min. add 3 to 4 cinnamon sticks, cover, add about a cup of raw and unheated honey and leave on the stove overnight and put in the refrigerator the next morning and drink all week and repeat as I get low [usually makes about a gallon and a half.

During the period after the first application I have been involved in vigorous sexual activity with my wife or girlfriend. I believe that I am cured, but have not been tested, not knowing that such a test existed."

[YEA] 03/15/2007: Kenneth from Orlando, Florida writes: "I discovered this site about two months ago and was seeking treatments and cures for a variety of ailments. I have suffered from herpes for years and noticed I was having outbreaks every few weeks. I really thought that my immune system was collasping or something. Anyway I did several things and have been sypmtom free for over two months. Thats the longest outbreak free period I have had in over fifteen years. Here is what I did. I immediately stopped ingesting aspartame and all other artificial sweetners immediately. I then began drinking the following mix first thing each morning. I crush one clove of garlic, add a teaspoon of cayeene pepper,one capful of apple cider vinegar and then add about six ounces of distilled water. I also cleaned my colon by merely taking five fiber capsules three times a day. I did this regimen for two weeks straight. I noticed that my blood pressure returned to normal, my digestive system problems stabalized, and I have been outbreak free. I have now come to believe that most of our health problems is a result of internal pollution in the form of toxins. Once we clean ourselves out, add "natural" products such as herbs, ACV, and fiber, our bodies are then able to do the rest and heal. Good luck to everyone."

GENERAL FEEDBACK
09/08/2011: Jd320 from Small Town, Delaware, Us writes: "I have been diagnosed with genital herpes (visually by doctor, still waiting on lab results). I refuse to believe that I am stuck with this virus for life. I refuse to take medications that will not even cure me but cause more side affects. After extensive research into alternative treatments such as colloidal silver and hydrogen peroxide; I came across some really interesting info on a product called IV-7.
Here is a link to a youtube video of a man who cured a cyst that could have been fatal.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmoHPoUgtuQ
It seems to be similar to colloidal silver but the silver is reduced to a pico size instead of nano. Which from having a electrical background I know pico is. 000000000001 vs nano .000000001.
This stuff is sold as a disinfectant but has selling points like this
IV-7 Ultimate Germ Defense for food contact surfaces kills a broad spectrum of viruses, bacteria and fungi and is approved for use on surfaces with which food has direct contact without the need to be rinsed!
the genteleman also mentions it has a zero toxicity rating and that he knows people who have cured herpes-1 and 2.
Here's a collection of links to documents and articles that demonstrate that IV7 (technically known as silver dihydrogen citrate, or "SDC") is one of the most important developments in the fields of healthcare since penicillin

I'm friends with Ian Jacklin and bought 2 gallons of the IV-7 through him, he's the one that shot that video with Ian Clark. I nebulize IV-7 whenever I feel a scratch in my throat and take it orally too. I can say it definitely helps kill whatever is going on in the nose, throat and lungs. It is the easiest way to get it into the blood stream allow the silver to do its work. If I happen to get a cold that sets in, nebulizing shortens it to 2-3 days maximum. FYI, I use a Pari LC Star nebulizer, it generates the smallest mist particle size."

I have tried a lot of suggested medicines, home remedies etc., that was listed in this very helpul site. But as weeks go by, I have discovered a herbal drink from Philippines that was a very big help to this disease. For your info, I have a very weak immune system and I think if someone with a normal or much stronger immune system than mine, I guess taking this drink would be more effective. I saw the changes and progress of my immune system after i drank the first 2 sachets. It's called _____, it's quite known now in the Philippines, for it has cured a lot of sickness and diseases, and as for my HSV-2... i don't know if it has cured me, but it did gave me hope and still think strong of my future. I have a friend who sells this in Thailand, and in Manila.
To support more for my body's defenses, I drink 2 cups of GreenTea everyday, as this is equivalent to 8 apples, which has more vitamin C than citrus. I take Centrum, 1000mgs VitC, 400IU VitE.. yeah! it's not hard, it's just that my immune system is very weak so I just have to find more support.

GENITAL HERPES ADVICE

[YEA] 03/29/2009: James from Albuquerque, New Mexico writes: "After 25 years of herpes, doctors, and drugs, I found what works best the hard way, by experience. And I later found it best summed up here in two short lines:
"-Avoid sugars (that creates dampness), caffeine, alcohol, spicy, greasy foods. -Keep immune system strong -Avoid stress and anger -Get adequate sleep"
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Traditional_Chinese_medicine_to_cure_Herpes&src=ansTT
* "Dampness" in Chinese med means fluid filled blisters. Here's a good short description of Chinese med "terms"
http://www.foodsnherbs.com/toppage2.htm
Of course, we all learn about Lysine, extra Vit. C, and to avoid chocolate, nuts, too much garlic, too many berries & grapes, Arginine, etc, but the above quote is very important. I learned about sugar, caffeine, and alcohol the hard way.
1. Sugar habit = more frequent outbreaks
2. Caffeine habit = more frequent outbreaks (& hardest to quit, takes great willpower. Use 1/4 tsp of Cinnamon in coffee to lesson outbreaks due to coffee addiction. Use Honey or Agave, NO sugar)
3. Alcohol habit (especially wine) = more frequent outbreaks
4. Spicy or greasy food habit = more frequent outbreaks
5. Long held anger = more frequent outbreaks
6. Six hours or less sleep = more frequent outbreaks
7. Eating within 3 hours of sleeptime = more frequent outbreaks (because Liver can't detox blood during sleeptime if it has to deal with a long and slow digestive operation. Then your undetoxed blood is now even more toxic the next day, soon a viral overload occurs & bam, another outbreak)
* Combine any three of the above and you should expect another outbreak.
* If you drink a bitter herb tea (dandelion, burdock, yellow dock, google for more. I also use Chinese herbs that have strange names I can't recall) before you do the evil deeds, you may escape an outbreak, but the body is now weakened so these evil deeds shouldn't be repeated again the next day. Take a break from all the stimulating action.
* Mushroom extracts (liquid/alcohol) have impressive results on strengthening immune system. (When you are to the point of having a continuous outbreak, try Mushroom extracts, and PLENTY of sleep, at least 8 hours/day) How did I do it: Use 2x or 3x per day for 3 months, then off 1 month, then repeat cycle. Works best by putting 1 dropper full in mouth with about 1 tablespoon of good pure water. Swish around in mouth or hold in mouth for 1 minute or more if you can. Best absorption occurs in mouth, then swallow.
* Licorice herb tea, or extract, for 2 weeks seems to really improve immune system also. Don't use for more than 2 weeks, then take 2 weeks off, then use again if needed.
* Force yourself to go to bed early as a regular habit. And avoid the late eating. "
