Build your immune system up
If you are suffering from herpes one or two you need to build your immune system with vitamins. I currently take a women's gummy multivitamin by nature bounty and 2000 iU of vitamin d which are gummy from Walmart. I take this daily and so far I haven't had any issues. I eat a regular diet ( must eat meat)but I try to stay away from sugary foods. I take salt baths a few times a week and avoid using fragrance soaps and washing powder.
Monolaurin
Yes, lauricidin worked great for me, too. But just plain monolaurin did nothing for me. Only lauricidin made a difference for me, too. No outbreaks when I'm taking it and I used to get them regularly.
Monolaurin

Lauricidin Monolaurin
So far it has kept my outbreaks 100% at bay as long as I'm consistent about taking it and don't miss any doses. I take 2 to 3 scoops a day along with a high quality multi vitamin. Another person I saw posted not to drink hot liquids with it. I can testify to that. I took it with some hot coffee and it made me really nauseous. Before taking it, I would get outbreaks at least every couple of months. But when taking the Lauricidin consistently, I get have any. It works great. I've also noticed more energy, and my candidate symptoms have started to disappear. My digestion seems to be way better, too.
Hypericum Mysorense

BHT

I was averaging 1-2 outbreaks a month of HSV 2 for many years (maybe 20 years). Acyclovir stopped them if started early enough, but only temporarily. I started taking BHT 300 mg, 5 months ago and I have not had even one outbreak. I am in heaven. SO grateful

Edgar Cayce's Remedy
If you're acidic, you need to hydrate. And, yes, that will simply dilute the acid but that's water's primary job.
Edgar Cayce's Remedy
After dealing with herpes for several decades now myself, I can tell you that outbreaks occur when your system is too acidic (re: ph balance). Cayce was right. The apple cider vinegar and the glyco thymoline help you to be less acidic.
If you are getting outbreaks more than 1-2 year, you really need to look at your overall health: diet, exercise, emotional health.
Once you have an outbreak...there are lots of different ideas. I take lysine pills, vitamin C, and experiment with applying different things to the site. Currently using DMSO and iodine. But generally speaking, once an outbreak starts and you have a blister, it's too late. All you can do is shorten it.
Lauricidin

Lauricidin has not been a cure thus far, but when I take it regularly, at least a scoop twice a day, I do not get any genital herpes outbreaks. If I stop taking it, I will eventually get one. And if I start to get money, I start taking it again and it quickly goes away, most of the time without even scabbing (if I take it soon enough). So I am interested in the back window schedule of two to three scoops a day. It has been a lifesaver. Monolaurin tablets did not work this well for me. Make sure to read the instructions for lauricidin. If you take too much to begin with, you can have a strong reaction to toxins dying off rapidly. Don't take with hot liquid (coffee, hot tea, etc) or you'll get a stomach ache. I take it with half a teaspoon of coconut oil.
Stabilized Oxygen
I neglected to mention that the process via which it kills bad guys is oxidation and the byproduct of that oxidizing death of the bad guys is elemental oxygen. Hence, "stabilized oxygen". As stabilized oxygen, it is bound to the sodium from which it is released, upon the oxidation of the bad guy.
Stabilized Oxygen
"Stabilized oxygen" is the "magical" half of MMS - the sodium chlorite solution part.
It seems like a scam because it's super simple but when the sodium chlorite meets the acid in the stomach or the acid in a virus or some diabolical microbe, it turns into MMS, on the spot, and kamikaze's the acidic bad guys. It kills them and, itself, dies in the process.
It's the water-purifying part of 2-part water purifiers.
Stabilized Oxygen
What is the brand and is it still working because I've heard it was a scam.

Magnesium Citrate

Magnesium Citrate for which strain of HSV? How long have you had it? What was your IgG index score prior to using Magnesium Citrate?
No shedding? How did you measure that?
As you posted your comment nearly a year ago, what has been your latest IgG score?
I've used a minimum of 400mg of Magnesium Citrate everyday in my line up of supplements the entire length of time I've had HSV-2 to no effect on my outbreaks. Magnesium Citrate is a calming mineral. It affects one's bowels as an aid to relieve constipation.

Hi there, I'm glad you've finally found a solution to this horrible virus, how do you take the iodine? I thought it just absorbed through the skin? and can you recommend an effective one that you can buy online? Kind regards Adam.

Hypericum Mysorense
I am not. I stopped this protocol. I do believe in it though. It's the only thing that I have seen work for me. I should have stayed on it another 6 months. I am not too sure about Synergy as lots of people have told me it didn't work for them. Their numbers did go down with Synergy though. One friend said his numbers went down but he stopped taking it after 6 months because he thought 6 months was the magical number of months. There are no magical number of months. You go until it becomes routine and you forget about it being a timed thing.
Hydrogen Peroxide
I am dealing with your exact same situation. I do not want to tell my primary care due to being military and I feel everyone will know because people I work with have access to my medical records. Did you only use the HP topically or orally and how long did it take to get rid of the visual effects? Did your PC know when you got a PAP? Please help with any information

Do u continue to take the iodine at same dose for rest of your life?

Iodine

I suffered with herpes outbreaks both genital and on my lips for over a decade. After coming to the devastating realization I had to stay away from nuts, seeds, gelatin etc to help prevent an outbreak I have avoided them completely. I started taking high dose iodine. With iodine you need to start relatively small and work your way up also taking companion supplements like zinc selenium magnesium. After some terrible detox from the bromine / fluoride getting detox from your brain you'll start to feel fantastic and I worked my way up to 100 mg of iodine a day after about 3 months I felt fantastic; my hormones balanced, my vaginal dryness completely disappeared, and it felt like I was 20 again. I started eating a few raw almonds here and there just testing the waters. That said I can eat all the peanut butter Brazil nuts walnuts that I want for the first time in over a decade. I'm using sesame oil and eating peanut butter by the spoonful not even a hint of an outbreak high dose iodine isn't really high dose it's really what your body needs.
Iodine cures over 180 common diseases from yes you guessed it viruses to breast and cervical cancer to prostate cancer I believe a big part of all of that is not having enough iodine in our system. It is truly given me so many precious parts of my life back ❤️https://revealingfraud.com/. Look up his Iodine article. I believe all of God's cures are simple. Between apple cider vinegar, borax, blackstrap molasses, baking soda and all of the herbs he has given us what a true blessing.
Dena,
Your information about colloidal silver is incorrect. Too low of a dose will have no positive effect and is likely to create bacterial resistance to the silver.

Colloidal Silver

Looking for help curing Herpes virus 2. Been using colloidal silver 500ppm. For 6 months, 1 tsp every day like directions on bottle say. It's not working. Was told the lower the ppm, the more effective it would be. Do you know of any truth to this? Or what I can do to cure Hsv2? I'm desperate. Please help

I heard colloidal silver can cure herpes 2. So I took 500 ppm cs for 6 months. I got retested and nothing had worked. BUT I just found out that the lower the # ppm, the more coverage it has. Should I try possibly 45ppm or something smaller? I really want this to go away 4ever. I could really use some advice please... thank you.
Hydrogen Peroxide
Hello I have been experiencing genital herpes since since 2007. I have had one ob after another. My md put me on valtrex since 2008 and took valtrex for about ten years. I started taking 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide in 2018 for about one month, when I was diagnosed with colon cancer. My outbreaks stopped for about three months. I was not on valtrex for those three months. Because I had a foot removed from my colon my healer and I decided for me not to go on the fghp. After three months of I began to experience ob again. I decided not to go back on valtrex and went two years having back to back ob. It was very taxing to my ego and self esteem.
During this two years I was on a plant based diet and tried everything. Lysine, monosaurin, olive leaf, ozone, tea tree oil, Dr.Robert Morse, oregano oil. After about two years I stayed on some of the supplements and got back on 1/8 of a dose of valtrex that I used to take and I had very infrequent obs. I have purchased fghp and want to circle back to ingest it and follow the one minute cure book protocol. I promise to report back on whether my body responds. I'm pretty hopeful. Anyone have any tips they may want to share I'm all ears. We're all in this together and know once I'm cured will be there to help others as much as I can to help them get past their herpes.
Hypericum Mysorense

I actually tested negative for HSV after 8 months. HOWEVER, it came back. The reason it came back is that I stopped this protocol and didn't finish it for another 6 months, which is what you should do. But I did test negative for HSV 2. Follow this protocol for a YEAR and you will be free I believe.
I am actually getting on the Synergy protocol now. I did Hekma protocol and a bunch of other ones.
I tried EVERYTHING for 4 years and spend $15,000 USD trying to get a negative test and nothing worked. I tried:
-DIV Ozone for 6 months 3 times a week
-35% hydrogen peroxide for 5 months-more than 3 times
-Oregano Oil with a raw diet for 6 months
-I did SIXTEEN 10 passes in Colombia and here in the states
NOTHING WORKED!!!
I never gave up UNTIL ONE DAY I discovered nosode therapy.
I saw my symptoms drop almost immediately and stayed on it, then tested negative after an 8 month protocol.
You HAVE to stay on this for a year. The virus can come back.
Here's why:
When you take an IGM test, you get a reading of under .90 and that just means the virus is no longer a threat to your body. It means you aren't having any more outbreaks.
You need to stay on it and keep crushing it down to close to zero.
This is going to take you 8 months, maybe for some more, maybe for some less.
Here are a couple of rules I would say follow: Do not stop the protocol, If you miss a dose, keep going. Breakouts are good. That means the virus is leaving your body. See rule number one. Do not stop. Keep your body alkaline if you can. I think if I were to have taken alkaline drops, and lysine multiple times daily, I would have tested negative faster.
Here is what I did:
https://biogetica.com/hyperisince-80-pack-of-6.html
https://herpesyl.com/
https://biogetica.com/reginmune-30-pack-of-9.html
Take these 3x daily on empty stomach:
https://biogetica.com/h-factor.html
I recommend getting the 6 month supply of all of these (minus the Herpesyl) here:
https://biogetica.com/doctor-recommended-6-month-supply
I also took these drops with a full vial twice daily:
https://www.pureformulas.com/herpetic-nosode-2-oz-by...
https://www.pureformulas.com/hrpz-drops-2-oz-by...
You need probiotics daily. You also need Spiralina and Chlorella daily if you can get it.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B094MWKZ7R/ref=dp_iou_view_item?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Food to remove:
NONE OF THIS:
Sugar, canola oil or fried foods, alcohol, limit caffeine (I drank Pique Tea Pu'er tea daily though) or anything else that causes inflammation in your body. Caffeine will slow your healing down. If you are addicted to caffeine, understand this will prolong the healing process, I believe.
Listen to your body.
Things I did eat:
Veggies (all) fruits, (all), all lean meats, grilled /baked potatoes, sugar free ketchup, vegan ranch dressing, salads, smoothies, dairy free milk (coconut milk), and basically getting any food you want, as long as it's sugar and inflammation free.
Wishing you guys the best! Don't give up!
Magnesium Citrate

Been taking a quality magnesium citrate supplement. 400 mg every night. Hasn't stopped the occasional outbreaks. Curious as to if anyone has tried magnesium l-threonate? Or hearing thoughts on it. Supposedly it's the most effective magnesium for crossing the blood brain barrier. Since the virus hides in the spine I was hoping maybe adding magnesium threonate to my nighttime dose would be more effective. I searched the internet about magnesium threonate as related to herpes but there's not much information about it concerning the virus. Thoughts questions comments would be appreciated from the community. If I have any success I will come back and post.
Oregano Oil
Please can someone recommend the type of oregano oil to use for this condition? Thank you.
Magnesium Citrate

My friend tried this and got an outbreak. This virus affects everyone differently.
Gentian Violet

Gentian Violet and Infrared Light Therapy for Genital Herpes
Back in the 1980's I remember Gentian Violet used for herpes. I was 19 in the military when a GF (nothing sexual between us) had a genital herpes outbreak. I didn't know what it was, but there had been news reports about the new STD genital herpes. Her OB/GYN treated her with gentian violet 1% painting her private parts and shinning a red infared light, lighting her girly part. I doubt that the treatment was going to have any effect; but in seven days, her outbreak was over.
Urine Therapy
Zinc
Take zinc with food. I learned the hard way. Once, I took it on an empty stomach and after a short while I suddenly and violently started vomiting. Barely made it to the bathroom. My face was crimson red (freaky) and it was one of the worst vomiting episodes I've ever had in my life. It was short spell but extreme. Don't think I could have remained in this state long or you'd be thinking you need to call an ambulance. Yeah it was that bad. Felt like I'd been poisoned. Pretty awful and don't recommend making this mistake.

Cimetidine
You may want to try BHT as it will damage and suppress the herpes virus, but you will never completely get rid of the virus as once you have it, you will have it for life. But BHT will suppress it sometimes for a long time. Start with a dosage for the first few days with up to 900 mg and then taper off to about 400 mg. BHT works best when first dissolved in oil as it is only soluble in oil or alcohol, but alcohol is not recommended. This way it is better absorbed in your system. In addition, you may want to use Lysine about 1500 mg/ day as it helps to prevent the spread of the virus. Hope it helps.
Cimetidine
I saw your message on Earth clinic regarding the treatment of Herpes. I have ocular herpes and my daughter of 3 years caught it as well. I hope Cimetidine works for us when we use it as she is always in pain.

Hi Ellanor, thank you for sharing this information, it's such a big help.
Could you tell me, did you take all the supplements only when you had an outbreak? or regularly everyday for a while?
Do you think I should attack it only when it's out breaking?
Could you also share if you maintained a special diet during these times?
Thank you!!

Colloidal Silver
Oregano Oil
Heard about 'The Cure is in the Cupboard' from Christian Green (Nature Heals Us) on YT. He has a strategy and many ppl report in testimonials of having got rid of their virus. He says it's a parasite and recommends a multi-level approach whereby the use of herbs, supplements, 35% Food grade hydrogen peroxide, distilled water only, and super clean eating (zero processed foods) is used to attack and neutralize the virus.
Magnesium Citrate
Magnesium citrate can make u constipated. It's not safe for long term.
Hydrogen Peroxide
Hi, any ideas what strength peroxide Happy from AZ used in 2016?
Hydrogen Peroxide

For me so far I can, I've been having outbreaks almost every 2 weeks sometimes once a month based on if I'm on meds like lysine or prescription meds. I've had herpes for almost 4 years I think I got it from a partner but I don't know which one.
I've tried so many experiments like herbal remedies and even home remedies but none helped me like how I see HP does it even stops my genital herpes outbreaks. I hope when I get the food grade one it stops it completely for sure. I recently started using HP oral topically and I'm seeing great results. I notice it blocks the genital outbreaks but the oral ones still come I'm confused as to why but I'll be purchasing the Food grade HP to experiment again.
I hope this helps anyone struggling with this pest of a virus
Thanks for sharing about the digestive issues. With this recent outbreak, I've had a loss of appetite, diarrhea, indigestion, some nausea and nothing food-wise appeals to me. Generally, when having a breakout, I feel literally sick and extremely fatigued. This time the symptoms are worse so I'm wondering if it's the BHT. I've stopped all supplements to see if I feel better and if some of the digestive symptoms leave. This is a horrible disease.

Hi, could you recommend a brand that I can buy online? And does this work on hsv2? Regards Adam.

Ivermectin, Neosporin

I have heard herpes was healed by putting on a bandaid with a mix of ivermectin and Neosporin for 2 days. Supposedly the blisters cleared up within a week to 10 days.
Lecithin
Magnesium Citrate

I tried so many other suggestions from people on earth clinic. None of them worked. I would get regular outbreaks every couple of weeks no matter what I did or took.
The magnesium citrate has been nothing short of a miracle! It's been over a month and I've been outbreak free! Thank you so much! I feel like I have my life back again!
Lecithin
Thanks for this! Have you been re-tested? Do you think it has been suppressed or eradicated/cured?
Magnesium Citrate

No more herpes outbreaks or shedding
High quality magnesium citrate supplement. I guarantee you will never get another outbreak again. Puts the virus completely to sleep. Men take 400mg per day women take 300mg per day. This is not an if or maybe, it will work. It 100% works for everyone. No more guessing or hoping something will work.
I just retested Feb ‘22: 5 mos since my last IgG test for HSV-2: 13.3.
Lecithin

Lecithin cures herpes. There is an old post on Earth-clinic about lecithin. I tried everything to get rid of herpes, like I imagine other sufferers have. Lecithin works. Take it and you will never have an outbreak again. Yes, you continue to take it.
I buy the Now brand and take two a day. I started with two in the am and two in the pm. Now just two a day and I even miss days. Lecithin works and it's cheap.
And I'm curious as to which form of HSV she had: oral or genital?
Multiple Remedies
From:
https://www.urologyofva.net/articles/category/healthy-living/3740469/11/13/2019/the-damaging-effects-of-oxalates-on-the-human-body
Vitamin C in ascorbic acid turns into oxalates crystals that damage the kidneys.
Renal Failure
Over time, oxalates can damage the kidney enough to cause renal failure. The kidney is the main organ focused on excretion, and the stress and inflammation from oxalates can overwhelm it. Patients with kidney stones have been shown to have decreased mitochondrial function in their white blood cells.
Inflammation
When oxalates are deposited into your organ tissues, they trigger inflammation. Specifically the NLPR-3 inflammasome .NLPR-3 has been implicated in numerous chronic diseases, including cancer .AutismThis study found that patients with Autism had 3x the levels of oxalates in their blood than normal individuals.
Skin and Eye Issues
High circulating oxalate levels leads to deposits in numerous organs throughout the body. Two of the most common are the skin and eyes .Oxalates are abrasive causing skin and eye issues when deposited there.
Synergy Protocol
Sweetpea,
I did use the Synergy protocol - Dec ‘18- Sept ‘19. My IgG score started at 14.5 and was 17.8 nine months later. I noticed after a month a huge lessening in symptoms and that continued the whole time such that I felt ‘cured' until I got my test results. I took some months off for my liver to rest and later started my own protocol using their suggested products but from different supplement providers as the company was shut down for a bit due to shipping and new ownership issues.
A year later, this past September, my IgG score was 12.5. I believe I've been symptom free since November and need to test again. I will give Synergy praise for their excellent customer service. You don't need to be a paying customer for them to help you tweak your diet and supplements. I learned from them that Vitamin C is high in Arginine - I was daily taking a few thousand grams of it. I feel truly cared for. The price is the same whether you use theirs or buy the listed products locally. In my break period I met a young lady that had been cured by their protocol but her starting IgG score was less than 3 and she started it right away. That may be critical in the cure as any score 5> is high. Sadly, she has since gotten reinfected and is back on their protocol. Her asymptomatic partner's IgG score had come down from 9 to 6 in two months on Synergy. In lieu of their mystery amino acids, I am using 500mg Glutamine on an empty stomach both morning and night, 500mg Glycine at bedtime on an empty stomach, and 500mg Methionine with food in the morning along with 45mg Zinc Gluconate and 200mcg Selenium. I take 500mg Lysine 4x/day on an empty stomach. They have approved of my added Vitamin D3, Ubiquinol, Magnesium, Vitamin B Complex, Green Tea Extract and ApoLactoferrin. Their website also suggests, and I take apart from the amino acids, Melatonin and Monolaurin. Rhodiola Rosea, Tribulus, and Astragulas in 750mg dosages are also included in their protocol and taken away from my personal protocol. They emphasize staying away from Arginine foods as the body processes it differently from Lysine and Herpes will make a little go a long way for replication. A guy I know also used it and it didn't work for him but he wouldn't give up high Arginine beer nor make any needed dietary or lifestyle changes otherwise. You may glean something from their user friendly website.
Antiviral Cleanse
Think2,
Have you had a recent IgG test? I wish more would post the results of their testing. It does not have to involve a costly Doctors visit. There are a few online testing companies that are affordable and will send a prescription for your HSV testing to your local LabCorp or Quest Diagnostics. You get your results privately online. I've used ‘Request a Test' here in North America the last 2yrs. My next option is ‘STDCheck.com' or ‘UltaLab'. This allows me to affordably self-monitor what is or isnt working.
Bach Flower Remedies
Molke, Grains are high in amino acid Arginine which feeds the virus. Check online the ratio of amino acid Lysine vs Arginine of everything you ingest. Lysine helps to starve virus.
Apple Cider Vinegar

Eleanor, have you had an IgG test done to see if your method affects that? I wish more would test prior and after their experiences for reference.
Multiple Remedies
Weeping, I used Oregano Oil every which as prescribed on the internet for 18mos to no avail of my HSV-2. Though my HSV-1 was eradicated in less than 9mos. My starting IgG score for HSV-1 was 2.45. My last IgG score for HSV-2 at the end of the Oregano Oil experience had gone up to 14.5! I've found anyone eradicated of Herpes had an IgG score of <3. A score of 5> is high.
Coconut Oil
Maryland, you don't need to take coconut oil by mouth. It's the Lauric Acid in it that works against viruses ie Herpes. Monolaurin is a dry product from coconut oil that is made of the Lauric Acid. I order my monolaurin from Lauricidin. Google it.
Hydrogen Peroxide
Womanundefeated,
Coconut meat is high in Arginine and feeds the virus. Coconut Oil is the only part that folks with Herpes can use - an example from Coconut Oil is monolaurin which is an antiviral. Antivirals ie Astragalus fight viruses, antibacterials fight bacteria; antibiotics kill bacteria not viruses.
Kevin Trudeau's Protocol
Coconut water and onions are both high in Arginine and feed the virus. A diet higher in Lysine vs Arginine will starve the virus. It's important to check online the Lysine vs Arginine ratio of everything you ingest. Even Vitamin C supplements are high in Arginine. We know Herpes is a protein based virus and reacts to Amino Acids which are the building blocks of protein.
And as Lyn has pointed out, regular blood tests of your liver and kidneys along with your IgG score for your Herpes is important to monitor your health.

Black walnut Tincture.
I struggled with Herpes 2 outbreaks almost monthly until I went to a kinesiologist who prescribed Blackwalnut Tincture. It's now been about 15 years since my last outbreak so either it went into total remission or I have been cured completely. I really hope this works for others. I took it internally (you can't take BW for too long) and I cannot remember what my dose was but I don't think I took it for a particularly long time. (6-8 weeks?) You can also apply it topically on any sores. I really hope this helps anyone struggling with outbreaks.
Colloidal Silver

Topical Application of Colloidal Silver for Herpes
I used a $30 bottle of colloidal silver from my local pharmacy with great success. I caught herpes from my first partner and it was unfortunately recurrent plus it began to worsen over the past five years. I am amazed at how effective this is. After all that money wasted on useless medication and stress over the condition, all it took was a month of topical application and I haven't had a symptom since. I highly recommend!
BHT, DMSO

Genital herpes topical application. Tried many different things. These are the most effective cures I have found when I experience an outbreak. Mostly I rotate between a few drops of a colloidal silver dmso solution and bht in liquid dmso. 2 or 3 times a day I will rub a very small amount of organic virgin coconut oil on the sore followed by a drop of dmso. Occasionally I do a combination of 2 or all 3 at the same time. I think the bht dmso is the most effective of the 3 but I definitely see visual results with the silver as well. The coconut oil doesn't do much for me aside from cutting down on soreness and irritation. But this regimen seems to get rid of my outbreaks within 5 days or less. Which might not sound like much but before I started using this combination they would last 2 weeks to a month.
