I am planning to take BHT for GH. But I am thinking of applying a mixture of BHT and DMSO topically at the tail bone area and where the lesions usually break out. As it is well known that the GH virus hides in lower spine area and DMSO is such an excellent carrier, what do you think of this strategy? Do you think it is dangerous to do it this way?
Should I also take it internally in addition to the above mentioned strategy?
I was considering doing a multi-pronged attack (Olive Leaf Extract, Lecithin, L-Lysine, H2O2 + DMSO) at the same time as I am determined to get rid of this virus from my system. But I read you mentioned that BHT does not work well when combined with other treatments. So I am now considering doing BHT alone strictly but I want to see if attacking it at the place where it hides with the help of DMSO might be a good strategy. I'd very much appreciate it if you could please reply with your thoughts on this?
And thanks for all that you have done in helping a lot of sufferers by bringing to light the benefits of BHT.

NOW DMSO is a very powerful solvent. Has been shown to penetrate even finger and toenails. This can be dangerous. Why not use BHT as prescribed in a relatively safe way and see if it works or not ? There is a VERY good chance it will work.
I have never used DMSO and therefore have NO opinion about it....Oscar

In Fowles book he suggests mixing with coconut oil for topical application. Do you think isopropanol is better? Should I just mix it with isopropanol or does it require heating?

So there is the internal route that in my opinion eventually leads to a true CURE as opposed to treating symptoms.
But this in NO way rules out BHT as a topical treatment also. In fact one or more of the original researchers who discovered that BHT is an effective treatment for theoretically ALL lipid coated viruses filed for a patent for BHT mixed in an alcohol as a TOPICAL treatment for herpes viruses. There are many so called alcohols. My experience with using ISOPROPANOL as the solvent is that: BHT readily dissolves in isopropanol and that said isopropanol is a good and relatively safe choice as a solvent for BHT as a TOPICAL treatment. NEVER drink isopropanol. Isopropanol is often called " rubbing alcohol " . It evaporates very rapidly. This causes a drying effect that rapidly kills a very many microbes of all types. That is why it is used to sterilize wounds. It can also be used to reduce a person`s temperature in emergency situations by swabbing the chest with isopropanol. So as a topical treatment it is considered safe to use.
So when you combine the effects of both BHT and isopropanol you have a very powerful TOPICAL treatment for those open sores that occur with both genital and oral herpes.
If BHT is mixed in ANY oil you will NOT get that important drying effect. Everything I know about the use of BHT tells me ISOPROPANOL is or makes for the best solvent when using BHT as a topical treatment for herpes sores and also FUNGAL infections. A final note: There is NO need to heat this mixture. Please: Do NOT complicate this simple but effective treatment....Oscar

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. I will start with 250mg/day and work up to 500mg/day internally on empty stomach with a gulp of water in 2 divided doses. Simultaneously, I will also apply isopropanol + BHT topically on a daily basis in the effected areas, even when no break outs.
Thanks for your wisdom and willingness to help other sufferers.

You have it right as to BHT taken internally: one 250mg of BHT with a gulp of water one or twice a day.
BUT, I only use the BHT dissolved in isopropanol as discussed every 4 or 5 days. NOT every day. BHT is powerful stuff and PLEASE do NOT over use it. If any adverse reactions occur do back off or use less of this treatment. If any soreness occurs in the treated areas you ARE over doing it....Oscar

I started BHT at 250mg/day for a week and then upped it to 250mg twice a day. It has been about a little more than 2 weeks since I started BHT for genital herpes.
I also applied isopropanol + BHT mix initially for 3 days in a row and then slowed it down to once in every 4 or 5 days per your advice.
What I am noticing for the last 5 days or so is that it seems like the virus is trying to break out. I get the slight burning sensation but no visible signs or full blown breakout.
Does it mean that the BHT is fighting the virus and actively killing it? Interesting that I am having these symptom soon after I started taking BHT after being breakout-free for 5 months. Is it possible that BHT is causing some sort of die-off reaction? I certainly would hope so. I would like to believe that the virus is being chased out of its hiding spots and then getting killed.
Is it at all possible that it might get worse before it gets better? Just want to know what I am supposed to expect as part of the curing process.
As always, appreciate your time in willingness to help others.

From everything you have been reporting the BHT treatment is working for your herpes infection. Just keep doing what you have been with that additional 250mg capsule any time you fell a sore developing. The BHT really does work well for most people who have herpes infections of all types. Used with the caution I have discussed it is for most but not all people a safe and effective treatment for herpes infections....Oscar

I did not take any extra dosage orally but I did apply the alcohol mix topically a couple of nights ago (only two days apart from my previous application, not 4 to 5 days like I had been doing). By next morning, it was almost gone. Not completely gone but the burn is gone. I might still be shedding the virus though.
From now on, if I feel like coming down with it next time, I will alternate an extra 250mg orally and do a topical the next day if I still feel the burn/itch.
And onward and upward I go with my daily 2x oral dosage routine with an occasional topical :-) My ultimate goal is to completely get rid of this from my system so I won't pass it on to my partner.
Thanks again for the encouraging response.
