Good sources of L-Lysine are dairy products (organic), spirulina, raw honey, and royal jelly.
Shingles

I read recently in the Definitive Guide for Alternative medicine that shingles can be treated with 2 types of energy therapy to zap the lesions. Electro-Acuscope or Light Beam Generator. Refer to pages 208-215 of the book to learn more, including how to find a practitioner.

L-lysine, when taken immediately upon infection will cure shingles.
Fever Blisters

Yes you can use acetone in fever blisters-it burns a bit but does not hurt the skin, and gets rid of them very fast--really it wonderful for this--strange but true!!
Food Sources

GNC.com is where you can order the L-lysine online; I believe even though you live in China, you still may be able to have it shipped to your location. I have to tell you, it has worked so well with my sudden development of canker sores, I am just so relieved to know that I have access to it; I will pay whatever amount to obtain it!!
Herpes

Lysine cream never realy worked for me, so for yrs I just put up with them. Then I started using iodine for a nail fungus, (which has work well) and wondered if it would help on the lip blisters. So I took a little coconut oil (1 Tblsp) added 3 drops of iodine and started rubbing it into sore on my lip. After repeated use, the one area that used to take over my bottom lip has yet to reappear, even if a smaller one appears in another area of my lips. I stopped getting that crappy feeling like the flu was coming on also. They stay very small. Iodine has worked better than the baking soda paste I used to plaster on them.
But since Lysine has been helping my son with the severity of his acne and scaring when they heal, I have started taking it too since I love cashews and hazelnuts which are high in arginine. hoping it will counter the imbalance.

I had ordered L- Lysine, but I have received L-Lysine monohydro-chloride. I want to know whether the product I have received is same and can it be used as Lysine or in place of L-Lysine. Thanks

Hi Baldev, I have 100% pure L-Lysine powder and on the ingredients label it says - "552 mg L-Lysine from 552 mg L-Lysine Monohydrochloride. We tend to use the short version instead of the full chemical name. If you are still not sure do a search for L-Lysine MSDS (material saftey data sheet).
Lowers Blood Sugar

Hello all, I want to report an amazing result of lowering my blood sugar albeit a short time (1week) so far. My BP, for years 115-138 and beyond, A1C lowered to 6.1 and taking Metformin 500/day. In trying to protect myself (88yrs) from the ravages of shingles (and the vaccine), I started taking L-Lysine (read on EC) 1000mg (Amazon) before bed. Amazed, over a week my BP # dropped to 85,95,103,90,95! Even loading with carbs during the night the reading rose only to 103. And no Metformin for last 3 days! And Google says LL can lower BS by 44%! Is this a lucky find? Hope this can help you, check of course with tou doctor. I feel like I've found the holy grail for nyself! Thanks big time to Earth Clinic!
