BHT Stopped HSV-2 Outbreaks

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

BHT for Chronic Virus

Joy (Franklin ) on 08/07/2022

I've been seeing great improvement in using bht (lysine, olive leaf, blk cummin seed) to fight off a lifetime battle with the pox camilion. Probably originated with the smallpox vaccination in childhood. They called the blisters sun poisoning and then cold sores.

Recently I've been using castor oil drops in my eyes with great results for the ocular nerve, but I'm really wanting to put some bht into the castor oil for my eyedrops. I'm not finding any reference to be sure it's a safe bet. Can anyone shed some light on the prospect? Most kindly, Joy

Research shows that BHT is used to treat genital herpes and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). People apply BHT directly to the skin for cold sores too. So I guess it doesn't have much side effects.

BHT flu update: Used the BHT remedy about twice a year since I posted in 2017. It has worked each time and I never got sick. Used just one dose per day, two days maximum. Still my favorite flu remedy!

For it to be used in pharmaceuticals and not considered a medication is for animal doses showing harm at high doses.

BHT Amounts Found in Butter Enough to Be Beneficial?

AVM (Honolulu) on 04/08/2020
5 out of 5 stars

I came across this compound some time ago trying to avoid at first due to concerns as to its disputed carcinogenicity. At least one butter brand in my country lists it as a conservative along BHA; other brands don't mention anything about these two antioxidants. Now I wonder how much BHT is there in, say, 100g of butter. Would the beneficial effects of BHT be noticeable at doses usually met by moderate butter consumption?

Ex wife took this for a couple years for herpes simplex 1 on my advice, having read Pearson and Shaw. She used to get the "cold sores" all the time. Never had a single one while taking this. The health food store where we were getting it shut down, we couldn't find anyone else local, so we let it go. A month later she was in full bloom. This was in the mid 80s. My non-professional opinion is why pay for high $ anti-retro-virals when this cheap solution really works? If I had it I'd try this first and only go to the doc if this failed. By all accounts, low-dose BHT suppresses herpes simplex. I'm a believer, based on close secondary personal experience. It really works for the herp.

Where to Buy BHT

Vitamin Research Products is no longer selling BHT. They are under new management and have discontinued several products, and switched other product's formulations without notice. If you are reacting to an encapsulated BHT product, try buying BHT in bulk. It's cheaper, and if you dislike the taste, you can put it into capsules knowing that there are no excipients, fillers, anti-caking agents or flow facilitators.

BHT for Viruses

Oscar's recent BHT post on anti-aging reminded me that I forgot to write in about BHT for viruses. I started to get a cold/flu/something twice over the past 6 months. Both times I took just 1/2 capsule of 350 mg BHT in a half glass of water. By the next day I was fine, no symptoms. Awesome. Thank you, Oscar!

BHT Slows Down Aging

Oscar (Syracuse, New York) on 05/12/2017

BHT does slow down aging. I ran out of BHT about 1 month ago and can see and feel the difference in how rapidly I am aging. I am now 68 years old. And as you get older the aging process speeds up as all of us elderly people know all too well.

It has been proven many times over that BHT extends the freshness of all foods greatly. Also products such as tires and other rubber products. Also fuels such as gasoline. Myself and many others believe this is the result of BHT`s ability to squelch free radical reactions. It does so by adding a hydrogen atom to a free radical such as OH. and H. that both occur when water is split. I believe that when BHT emits hydrogen atoms it does so in pairs. If this was not true the BHT molecules would become free radicals. So when BHT emits 2 hydrogen atoms closest to each other on the BHT molecule a carbon to carbon bond occurs between those carbons, satisfing the octet rule resulting in a stable molecule.

That BHT is an excellent preservative in non-living substances is NOT in question. BHT`s ability to do so in living organisms is still debated.

I will close this posting by stating that even though the BHT available for sale is made artificially, it is EXACTLY the same compound found in nature so to speak. In fresh water algae, salt water plants that occur along the shores. A growing number of such plants continue to be found.

In my opinion: BHT does slow down aging in the way I just described. I just ordered some BHT. I will try hard to never run out again.

My Best to All,

Oscar

Avoid This BHT Brand

Oscar (Syracuse, Ny) on 09/27/2016

WARNING

BHT sold by 'Wholesale Nutrition ' is CRAP. It lists: cellulose [ some cheap filler ] magnesium steorote, and silicon dioxide as " other ingredients".

Do not buy or use this product. It is a mixture and NOT pure BHT. I opened a capsule to taste it. It tastes like BHT but is powdery as opposed to crystals. This is NOT pure BHT and contains other compounds and says so on it`s bottle. As far as I know cellulose is some cheap filler.

Stick with the pure BHT products sold by VRP and LifeLinks and maybe some others. I bought this by way of AMAZON. What a disappointment....Oscar
