Echinacea help to stop outbreak of herpes. It was mainly used for flu-prevention, then my dust mite allergy is gone and genital herpes seems to be history.
Dietary Changes

In the past i have always used anti viral drugs to control my outbreaks. 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. Lemon/Limes are a big part of my diet & i can say that these amazing fruits avoiding chocolate,coffee,beer etc have turned my life around for the better :)

He is right! I can testify I used stabilized oxgyen starting in 05 changed my diet, with healthy eating and exercise, no problems. And it is true the (FDA) will not recognize this because it will put every Dr,Pharmacutical company you can think of out of business. There is no second guessing give it at least 6 months and I promise you. You will see results permanetely. I used to take medicine for my outbreaks every now and then not any more Oxygen works for pretty much every virus, and ailement that people suffer from because we lack the proper amounts in are bodies. Don't let any one give you doubts you have to take control. it works!!

Garlic, Cayenne, ACV, Fiber, Distilled Water

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.
Bach Flower Remedies

Okay, I wanted to update from the last message I sent on 1/10/07: I had one outbreak but it didn't last long in Feb. (about 3 days). This past Friday (3/9/07) I had one lesion (triggered by a urinary tract infecton) that is gone as of today (3/12/2007). This has never happened to me before. I think the flower therapy is working. Some may read this and think differently but being that I've suffered from this since 1988, with each outbreak lasting 7 days, this is progress!! Further, all of the telltale signs of an outbreak (pain in the leg, extreme itching and pain during the outbreak) have diminished at least 75%. I think I will stick with the Bach Flower Therapy for good. It's certainly much cheaper. I take 2000 mg (a safe dosage to take everyday from what I've researched) of lysine daily and up the dosage when I've had an outbreak. I'm not sure if this is helping but I'm going to stick with the regimen I'm on. I will definitely update you again. Thank you so much! What a relief after 19 years!

Bach Flower Remedies

The past three years, I have had an outbreak of genital herpes outbreak every few months. I altered my diet, stayed out of the sun, stopped drinking alcohol... all the things you are supposed to do. Also took lysine daily. I then went on medication. The meds helped the severity of the outbreaks, but still did not stop the bi monthly outbreak cycle. In desperation, I looked on the internet and saw Earth Clinic's suggestion for flower remedies as a potential cure. I was skeptical, but willing to try... I located the brand of flower remedy you recommended at a holistic pharmacy and started applying it (holly and walnut) in diluted form to the outbreak area. I also took it internally 4x a day. That was a few months ago and I have not had another outbreak! I still continue to take the remedy internally a few times a day. The minute I feel that tingling, warning sensation, I put a few drops on the area a few times a day and nothing manifests. Wow. Such relief!! Can't tell you how grateful I am. Thank you Thank you Thank you!

It has reduced the severity of my outbreaks, it may be a help, perhaps I could increase the dose.
Black Seed Oil

The EMF's from my laptop on my lap is a huge trigger for a herpes outbreak for me. The heat doesn't help either, but it's the EMF's that sets it off, deeply. I'd been too heads down on some work stuff to pay attention to my health for a while and neglected taking my normal supplements for quite a while. I gave myself some really deep and difficult outbreaks. As soon as I started taking my Black Seed Oil again (internally), almost immediate relief. I do 1-3 teaspoons a day depending. Spread out or all at once. Topically, Castor Oil helps along with the DMSO/Aloe with rose-scented lotion.
Hydrogen Peroxide
Posted by Cured1012 (Los Angeles ca ) on 12/04/2022
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 c--e 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.

hello cured1012. fghp is an amazing product for many things. Can I suggest drinking lemon water... You could squeeze the juice of 1 lemon into .....1 litre of filtered water. drink the litre in small amounts (in 1-2 days). keep taking ...never stop! Also 'orally' take 2 big spoons of organic coconut oil oil (or more) every 1-2 days........
For ob apply coconut oil followed with DMSO gel. research DMSO!
Tumeric or (curcumin) capsules 2 per day.. taken every day (dont forget! ) can stop ob
Cheers

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.

For genital herpes, use DMSO as soon as you feel it coming on. Dab Dmso directly onto lesions. Also rub liquid Magnesium onto spine - that's where virus hides when its dormant. Herpes hates Mag and coconut oil.

I used 3% h2O2 on a cotton pad to cleanse the affected skin, followed by DMSO (applied with clean hands... NO SOAP) at the first sign of itchiness (HSV2) at bedtime. Repeated for 3 days. Perfect results. Outbreak averted!! I continued to use h2O2 occasionally for the next few days.

Dear Ju, your immune system has held the herpes virus in check (dormant) and it is likely a recent stress on the immune system has tipped this balance. You can boost the immune system with lysine and whole food vitamin c, eg rosehip powder, and others. Your ACV you can take internal and apply external, it will likely sting, you may like to mix with Castor oil. If you do not get improvement from the acv, Further research how lecithin defeats herpes and shingles virus. Best to you.
BHT

Hi. I've had hsv2 for almost 2 years now..one night with an ex. I was suffering from this disease every single month. I only get outbreaks every 28 days..when it's that time of the month. I was nervous about trying BHT, but I'd already tried lots of other things and said why not. I tried the Oregano oil mixed with coconut oil...this didn't help at all. I've also tried extreme doses of Vitamin c and Lysine pills...this didn't help either. Finally I tried BHT, I ordered it from amazon. Because I know exactly when my outbreaks will happen, I started right away taking either 4 or 5 250mg pills in the morning with one full bottle of water. I'm now one month free of outbreaks. This is the longest I've ever gone without an outbreak, while I don't think I'm cured, I certainly think that I've found something that give me some sort of relief.
Also during the week when the outbreak was prone to come I took 2 more 250 mg pills at night so I was taking a total of 6 to 7 pills a day. During the time that I'm less likely to have an outbreak, I just take 4 pills in the morning. I will keep you guys posted hopefully I'll never have another one again. I've also bought the food grade peroxide, but haven't tried it yet because the BHT seems to be working. I hope I'm not taking too much of it.

Neem Seed Oil
Posted by Om (Hope, Bc Canada) on 10/27/2015
To Fighting, (Florida) ---
Neem seed oil should not ingested but used topically, that is, trans dermally. But the neem leaves powder can be used as a tea, or better, in capsules.
Such large amounts will derange the doshas and create serious problems. In moderation, it improves the immune system among numerous benefits.
For your particular problem it may also be worthwhile to research turpentine and visit Walter Last's website. If there is a weight issue, Neem will help, but if weight loss is no problem, caution is advised. Neem will do many things but it would be advisable to find out your particular dosha and then proceed with caution.
Just a suggestion and wishing good success. Namaste, Om

If you're acidic, you need to hydrate. And, yes, that will simply dilute the acid but that's water's primary job.

Olive Leaf and Turmeric
Posted by Jane (London, Uk) on 02/09/2015
I am taking Olive Leaf extract for genital herpes with the hope of eradicating the virus completely from my body. My question is, I have also read that turmeric is good for keeping the virus suppressed, if I took Turmeric with Olive Leaf would I be making it more difficult for the Olive Leaf to rid the virus from my body? Because I want to draw the h virus out, hiding/suppressing it would suggest a push - pull between taking the Turmeric and Olive Leaf? Any thoughts?
Secondly, I am disappointed that anyone who claims to have been cured by using Oxygen or some other remedy is not returning to the forum (I suppose they don't return to look at the posts, or earth clinic doesn't send alerts to their email) but it would give us all a lot more hope if we knew that years later people are really free from this virus and also be great to be advised of particulars, such as brand, dose and so on.

Oregano Oil
Posted by Prioris (Fl, US) on 09/20/2014
Just an idea. I wonder if anybody has tried using Probiotics to fight herpes.
I have had chronic shingles practically my entire life. This probably created the chronic meningitis later on which I haven't had a problem with for a while. I noticed when I took an antibiotic, my shingles acted up. This leads me to believe that the source of infection is related to the colon gut flora. That is where most of the immune system lies.
Maybe try addressing the problem that way.

Further to my ACV trial above:
I have since learned that the Apple Cider Vinegar was increasing my pH Balance.
It seems the ACV that is not actually providing the direct relief here. It's my pH level.
I went and bought a personal pH tester and I piss on it whenever potty break is required to check.
If my pH is low I take some ANTACID (Alka-Seltzer, Eno, Ural, Etc) to boost it. Currently, I'm using Eno cause it's cheaper.
I have seen an immediate improvement in controlling the external lesions to the point where the now don't actually break the skin.
I continue to take Lysine (which seems to toughen the skin) and Vit C daily.. and double it if I feel an outbreak.
I am certain when I am under attack even though there are no lesions because I feel the hyper-sensitivity in the back of my legs and the usual prodrome feelings.
I've read on other forums some people who claim it has stopped outbreaks altogether. I would love to get to this stage. I think its definitely the right track.
Can anyone else confirm success with controlling pH levels and Outbreaks, please?

Kale

I used to have outbreaks faithful every month. Especially around my period & worse with higher amounts of STRESS, & CAFFEINE. Honest to goodness, this works...!
Whenever I feel an outbreak coming on, I buy Kale at the supermarket, rinse it, and eat a leaf (raw). Twice a day for 2 days makes it virtually non-existant. If I've already broken out, I eat a leaf or two and in about an hour, maybe two- I've forgotten they were there; No itching or pain from lesions. The next 2 days, lesions are shrinking and almost dried out- day 3 DONE and on with LIFE!
I now eat Kale at least once a month, especially around "breakout time" and I don't "break out". I do also watch how much caffeine I take in and have just about eliminated most nuts out of my diet. If I go overboard on Arganine's, I load up on more Kale.
Hope this helps.
