Try Stabilised Oxygen drops! order them online, ive been using for 2 weeks and im seeing the benefits. No more tingling, no more occasional outbreak. Just want to post that i have found this site so useful, im sure different things will work for people, i tried coconut oil for a while, seemed clean me inside and out, then i took Lysine tablets i think this kick started me gettin more energy and no flu over winter? Im still taking Aciclivor but will come off in next 4 months. These Oxygen drops have had a huge increase in making me symtom free,which is the first step everyone wants to get to. The virus hates oxygen!! its tasteless and makes u drink more water which is healthy anyway. Avoid ASPARTAME and sweetners in diet and fizzy drinks. Change ur drinking and diet habits Im happy again! OXYGEN DROPS WORK FOR ME email me if you want the brand or place to get them..

"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.


Colloidal Silver

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.

Ivy-Dry

Ivy-Dry (dual acting spray purchased from Walgreen Drug Store 6 FL OZ bottle for about $8.00) This product relieves itching, oozing, and weeping associated with minor skin irritations from poison ivy, oak, and sumac. It also cured Herpes outbreaks.

Herpes outbreaks have lesions or small blisters. I have found that if I use Ivy-Dry on these lesions they will dry up and start to heal within 24 hours. Remember that this product is an external skin protectant that relieves the itching, oozing and weeping associated with minor skin irritations and rashes. After the healing process begins I see some dry dead skin begin to peel from the affected area of treatment. I would not recommend to over use this product as it will dry out your skin.(Normally two applications will clear up my out break. I spray the affected area once at night and once again in the morning. I also used this product after intercourse to prevent outbreaks ) Before using any product read the label first !

I have also started taking one capsule of red marine algae daily and I am outbreak free!

Hey guys! If you are looking for a cure for GH, put colloidal silver in the search engine (earth clinic) and read the post(s)... There have been a few people that have actually tested negative after taking colloidal silver for a few months. I've purchased a bottle and I can really tell its working! I have faith that it will work. Oh, I also take bio-defender (monolaurin & olive leaf combo), which is a really good product. There are a few other things that I take as well (all herbal, of course)! I would suggest that you find what works for you, do your research and be consistent! There's no way that any Medical doctor can actually make me believe that this is incurable... It just doesn't make sense if you REALLY think about it!!! :)

After I was diagnosed with HG last week, and being pregnant as well, I started looking for natural solutions right away. The one I liked while looking at this site was the one with the Flower remedies. I went straight to the store, got the essences (holly and walnut) and within a day the infection got less; within 3 days it was gone. No more agony (for now), and I'm a happy woman! Thanks.

Dear Earth Clinic, I thought in sharing some information that has helped me. Organic extra virgin Coconut oil which contains 50-55% of luric acid that actually destroys the chemical composition of any virus including AIDS, in fact in the Philippines are curing it with this remedy. Now I can work out again with out feeling my body weak and my out breaks have been reduced 80%. about 1 spoonful a day Thank you for your great forum. Regards.

Iver helps cut down the ob down time

I had a bad OB. I was desperate. I took ivermectin ( I did some research about stuff) and put the cream on my tailbone. It got tingly within minutes. I took my supplements for immune system. My usual ob usually takes about a week and half or something like that...it cut it down in 3-4 days..


Andrographis Paniculate
Posted by MAP (Wonthaggi, Victoria, Australia) on 12/05/2025

Hi there, fellow genital herpes sufferers. I have had it for over 23 years and after trying many natural things just ended up taking as needed the acyclovir, which seemed to take ages to work as I got older.

Now, just standing up in a wonderful health shop near me, this beautiful naturopath on duty in health shop who has helped me before greatly assisted me with my question,
"In your practice what has been most effective in helping genital herpes sufferers?"

She said the antiviral herbs, in liquid form, like andrographis paniculate and echinacea.

I had tried echinacea in past, seemed to do nothing. So I went home and studied about andrographis paniculate, and discovered such a well researched and powerful herb for the immune system.

Knowing that no to waste money its best to get a bag of organic dried leaf andrographis. I approached a wonderful herbal farm in Australia and they import the organic leaf from India.

I tried it, just a pinch of the leaves in a big mug of water, or you can make a tea, its so bitter you can taste it as you open the bag. I keep in the fridge always and just take if I have indigestion or feel an attack coming on of herpes, this literally defuses the attack till its a nothing, it just seems to deflect its progression. Apparently it rallies lots of t - cells white cell fighters in the immune system.

I sip it if I feel an attack coming on or make a tea, whichever I feel like and the attack becomes nothing. I have never had such a powerful wonderful herb for my condition. At last I am free of this shocking thing, only through the power of this wonderful herb for the immune system. And its so cheap and simple and easy. Apparently if you have every day for a couple of weeks you stop for 10 days or so and then restart. But I don't have every day at all, just when I feel an attack coming on, or feel run down, or have indigestion, so I take as needed and it is totally effective for me, and I am sure it will be so for many many people out there. If too bitter, just water it down and think of the freedom coming into your life and what a blessing it is to be free of these ghastly attacks, even though dependent on this little her, you can take a little jar of it and do the same if away on a holiday.

Folks this little herb is a blessing to mankind. Just make sure you get an organic supplier so you get the full advantages.

God bless and good luck.

Get red Marine algae to take faithfully for 3 or 4 months every day and enough quantities and you won't ever have another outbreak.

Build Immunity

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.


Lecithin

Lecithin will stop a herpes breakout and, if taken regularly, prevent a breakout. I tried everything and lecithin is the only thing that works. It has been years since I have had an outbreak. Lecithin is also cheap. My granddaughter takes it and no longer has psoriasis.

There are a few old posts here on earthclinic you could read or you could just buy a bottle do the happy dance. Lol


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.


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.


Monolaurin

Only thing that worked to keep outbreaks at bay was 1 scoop of specifically lauricidin with 1 teaspoon of virgin coconut oil 3x daily. If I ever miss a single dose, outbreaks will come back in a matter of hours. 2x a day is NOT enough. 1 scoop (3 grams) 3x/day.... once in morning, once late after and once at bedtime. No hot drinks with it or your stomach will hurt. NOTHING else works. Coconut oil WITH it makes a difference.

B5, Lysine

In reply to Jordan from Memphis's post on 11/21/20, who wrote: "My life is controlled by this horrendous disease. I just ordered hypericum from Biogetica. Can you tell me exactly what (else) you took? Were you on a certain diet? I would pay good money to speak with either of you guys. I've been trying for 4 years to get rid of this stupid disease. I am so desperate. Thank you for your reply!"

Hello, I'm sorry for your suffering. I used to break out every month with herpes. I've cleaned up my diet a lot, and quit drinking alcohol. But I would still get an outbreak. I started taking vitamin b5 (pantothenic acid) in high doses, as well as lysine every day. I haven't had an outbreak in probably 6 months or so. I think these two things have helped me. It also cleared up acne problems.

I hope that helps.

Hi Kim L.,

Food grade diatomaceous earth (FGDE) at 2 tablespoons per day caused severe constipation for me. I tested it three different times and it always resulted in constipation.

I drink lemon water to prevent the outbreaks, still outbreak free. I did have another minor OB when I started slacking on drinking the lemon water. I am 100% sure this is helping me. I have never used it directly on a OB though.


L-Lysine
Posted by Charity (Faithville, Us) on 07/30/2019

Herpes Zoster is from having had chicken pox as a child and appears the same as herpes from sexually transmitted disease. I was married twenty years when I got a bad case of it vaginally and could hardly walk. It was brought on by stress and is similar to shingles that also come from having had chicken pox. This chicken pox virus remains in tissue and can be symptomatic when under great stress. It was hard to understand and added marital stress on top of the stress I had already had that brought it about. My OBGYN did not seem to know there was a difference and that did not help me either.
