It worked for me. I haven't had a breakout in 20 years.
As I understand it, hospitals use Lecithin based baby formulas on new born babies born to women with genital herpes.

After 12 years with the curse of Herpes Virus I read comments from Freddie from Buckeye US and thought "what would one more thing to try hurt" - I took 2 x 1200 of Lecithin when I had an outbreak and it was clear within 24hours. I would like to thank him for sharing that information, it worked for me!Replied By Anita (Si, Ny) on 05/21/2010
what kind of lecithin did you ingest? Soy, egg, sunflower? thank you!Replied By Bo (Edgbaston, Birmingham, Uk) on 10/21/2010
Regarding the 2500mg of Lecithin... Is it only for 1 month daily for a cure or does one have to take it when outbreaks occur? & for maintenance? It's been decades of monthly attacks and am at wits end!!!Replied By Anita (Ny) on 10/23/2010
I started sprinkling non-gmo lecithin on my egg breakfast in July (fairly consistently-maybe missed 7 days since). I used to have monthly facial outbreaks. I've had 2 minor OB (I did ICE, h2o2, lysine, vit. C as well) which consisted of a very small pinhead size scabs. I just continue sprinkling. Kinda scared to stop...

LECITHIN!! Thank you Freddie from Buckey!!!! I recently contracted the virus, and had breakouts AT LEAST twice a month. I'm talking big, bubbly ob's that itched and were devastating. I tried all the remedies but once the bump emerged there was NOTHING I could do but wait for it to clear up on its own. After reading the comment from Freddie & doing some research of my own, I decided to try Lecithin. I take 2-3 soft gel pills (1200mg) per day. I also wipe my genitals and lower back with DMSO on a cotton ball nightly. I haven't had a breakout in over 4 months and I'm praying I will never have another one. My diet is pretty good, but I do drink wine (red & white) and have not had an issue. I even started having little helpings of chocolate every so often which before would cause a breakout within hours. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS REMEDY. I hope this helps someone :)Replied By Catherine (Wellington, New Zealand) on 08/13/2011
So glad to finally know why I no longer suffer from herpes outbreaks. From childhood I was always breaking out, my lip line shows evidence of old scarring. Anyway when I was early thirties I started studying nutrition and began taking lecithin. It was some years before I realised I was no longer getting the dreaded herpes tingling and subsequent blisters but I never made the connection with lecithin. I just assumed I had "grown out of it" I am now 69 and have not had an outbreak in nearly 40 years!Replied By Maryland (Los Angeles, Ca, Usa) on 09/03/2011
I took 2400mg of lecithin then up to 4800mg of lecithin daily for two months and the only change I noticed was that my breasts seem fuller :)
But the outbreaks kept coming..

I tried Freddies remedy - 2400 lecithin every day. I bought 2 large bottles that contained 100 softgels each. I decided I would take all of the lecithin until I ran out. 3 months worth with absolutely no outbreaks or symptoms. I usually get an outbreak every 2 months. I get tingling every month, but not since I began taking lecithin! Since I am done with both bottles, I am going to take a break and see if there are any changes. Bue, if a breakout occurs, I will go purchase another bottle of softgels and begin taking it again.Replied By Mm (Somewhere, Europe) on 01/01/2013
Falala, 2400 what??????Replied By Enzy1 (Khi, Pak) on 01/05/2013
hey all... So I have been taking lecithin for a few days and it is keeping the outbreaks a bit in control... Im also supplementing it with oil of oregano, vit c, lysine and beta immune complex... I have a lot of faith in lecithin after reading the post by Freddie and the others that have followed... however, could you pls tell me if this needs to be continued even after a month and if any of u have had recurrent OBs after taking lecithin...pls lemme know!!Replied By Falala (S'port, La, USA) on 01/26/2013
2400 mg. Sorry!Replied By Allison (Houston, Texas) on 03/09/2013
Herpes could be brought on by Aspartame, the sugar free substitute often found in sugar free drinks, gums, cookies, yogurts, protein powder, and others. So lecithin may still help control herpes, but make sure you are not ingesting aspartame. You can find this information under cures for herpes. Wished I had knew this instead of ignorantly chewing sugar free gums for years and all along getting herpes simplex cold sores.Replied By Annabell (Miami, Fl, United States) on 04/25/2013
To Allison from Houston, Texas,
THANK YOU! Last week I ate 6 greek yogurts in one day! The day after a cold sore appeared this is the worst one yet. It's HUGE. It was going away after I dabbed it with hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol and tea tree oil but I made the mistake of putting neosporin on it before it completely scabbed over.
I just googled aspartame in greek yogurt and sure enough the particular brand I bought contained aspartame!!! Not to mention I was also taking maca capsules. I am getting ready to purchase egg yolk lecithin and use it as part of my regimine which includes lysine, vitamin c , red marine algae, zinc, stress forumula b complex, and some other vitamins.
From now on I will stick to eating PLAIN yougurt.

Lysine, lysine, lysine. Lecithin probably contains some lysine. Lysine, lysine, lysine ... every day, and you will never have herpes again. Probably works against shingles as well, as these are sister viruses which live in the sheathing around nerves. Arginine is to be avoided, and that means NO CHOCOLATE and peanuts. Lysine, lysine, lysine!
Did I make myself lysinely clear? :-)

H Freddie, What type of Lecithin did they used Lecithin to control and kill the herpes virus? Do you know if better to use granules made from eggs?Replied By Calvin (Louisiana) on 05/24/2016

I worry to take lecithin because soy lecithin is GMO. Will sunflower lecithin work just as well?

What is the best lecithin to buy? What brand? Soy or no soy?Replied By Shaw (Fayetteville, Nc ) on 04/01/2017
How many capsules of Lysine should I take every day. Because I have HSV 1 simplex. And I want to be completely healed from it. So when I go get another test done it will come back negative for herpes. ThanksReplied By Littlew (Boston) on 04/02/2017
Hi Shaw – probably different for everyone but when I have an outbreak I take 2000mg in the AM and 2000mg in the PM. I do this only when I have an outbreak. I do not take Lysine as a daily supplement nor do I take it for anything else. While taking the lysine I also use my Herpecin lip balm and either hydrogen peroxide directly on the outbreak, or I mix a small batch of very strong Willard Water, and soak it for five minutes several times a day. When I do this it usually doesn't even come out to play. It's my power play. I'm sure others who have suffered this their whole life as I have their own tricks of the trade. Try to stay out of the sun as well during and a general lowering of life stress always helps. Good luck.Replied By Eddie (Lusaka, Africa, Zambia ) on 01/07/2018
I want the same lecithin tablets, where can I buy or order it, coz in Zambia the whole chemistry, they don't stoke itReplied By Briana (Baltimore, Md) on 09/06/2018
Is this true? I had GH for 7 years. Will it go away in a month of taking lecithin? Any certain diet to follow also and did you get check up at dr and became negative of virus?Replied By Almostfamous (Tampa) on 06/15/2021
Are you saying you took lecithin for 30 days and were cured Or that you take it daily some 20yrs later?
