Is there a natural treatment for Herpes outbreaks?
I suspect I may have gotten it but don’t want to take antibiotics. Is there another way to help keep the virus supressed and, hopefully, help make my immune system better able to handle it?
There is an over the counter drug that is as effective as prescription medicine for herpes. It is called Lysine and costs anywhere from $5-10. Ask your doctor about it.
No, sorry. Hope you learn to think with your brain, not with your ….

I foster kittens and I was told when they have an outbreak in their eyes (they have one that is related to herpes) to give them crushed lysine. It is an amino acid that helps stop replication or something to that effect. Hope that helps, it seems to help the kittens.

No, there is no cure for Herpes, only suppression.
It is best to eat well and rest and exercise in moderation and ask your doctor for the best treatment options for you.

Here are some ideas to start healing the issue.
Herpes refers to a class of viral infections of both a sexual and nonsexual nature. There are actually over 70 different types of herpes, all of which are caused by one or more herpes viruses. Overall, herpes viruses are very common in the population at large. In fact, some health experts estimate that 90 percent of all Americans are infected by one or more strains of herpes virus.
Herpes viruses, once they gain a foothold in the body, can remain dormant for years before symptoms manifest, usually after being triggered by stress to the immune system. In addition, symptoms can come and go, and even when symptoms are no longer noticeable, it does not necessarily mean that the viruses have been eradicated.
Types of Herpes
Although there are more than 70 known herpes viruses, the two most common types of herpes are herpes simplex 1 (HSV1) and herpes simplex 2 (HSV2), or genital herpes. Herpes simplex 2 is a sexually transmitted disease, or STD, while herpes simplex 1 is often present in the body simply due to a weakened immune system, not as a result of sexual contact. Both types are very widespread among the population of the United States.
Cause
Herpes is caused by one of more than 70 infectious herpes viruses. Outbreaks caused by herpes are most often triggered by physical or emotional stress that suppresses immune function. Nutritional deficiencies can also increase the risk of contracting herpes.
Quick Action Plan for Herpes
1. Emphasize fresh, organic foods, with plenty of non citrus fruits and vegetables, complex carbohydrates, free-range, organic meats and poultry, wild-caught fish, and an abundance of pure filtered water.
2. Avoid all commercial, processed, and nonorganic food, as well as alcohol, coffee, sugars, artificial sweeteners, preservatives, food dyes, milk and dairy products, and wheat and wheat products.
3. Avoid all arginine-rich foods, including all nuts, sunflower and sesame seeds, coconut, chocolate, wheat and wheat byproducts, soy, lentils, oats, corn, rice, barley, tomatoes, and squash.
4. Be screened for food allergies.
5. Supplement with vitamin A, B-complex, vitamin B5, vitamin B6, vitamin C, zinc, adrenal glandular extract, quercitin, and the amino acid lysine.
6. Drink plenty of organic, fresh-squeezed carrot, celery and beet juice.
7. Apply salves of aloe vera gel or calendula cream.
Hot baths if you can tolerate them, followed with a short cold bath or sitz bath. Do this daily.
8. A useful herbal remedy for herpes is to combine tinctures of Echinacea, goldenseal, nettle and Siberian ginseng in equal measures. Take half a teaspoon three times a day to boost immune function.
9 Take precautions when you are in an outbreak to avoid spreading the virus to others.
To ensure you are following the most effective treatment plan, work with a qualified holistic health professional.
Prevention Guidelines
As with all sexually transmitted diseases, the most effective response to chlamydia is prevention. To avoid herpes, do the following:
Be careful about choosing a sex partner and find out about his or her health and sexual history before engaging in a sexual relationship. Have sex only if the person has no apparent signs of infection and is willing to assure your protection during sexual intimacy. Be prepared to talk and inquire about past experiences. Be direct and persistent. Make conversations about health a natural part of the sexual relationship.
Limit the number of people you have sex with. The risk of contracting an STD rises exponentially in direct relation to how many sexual partners you have.
Avoid sex altogether if your partner exhibits open lesions or swelling on his or her body.
Always practice safe sex. Men should always use a latex condom, especially when engaging in sex with someone new. As an alternative, women can consider the use of a latex female condom. When engaging in oral sex, use a latex dental dam. Long-term, monogamous sexual partners should also use some form of protective contraceptive unless planning a pregnancy.
Avoid swallowing semen, as it acts as an immune suppressant and thus can increase the risk of STDs caused by infectious microorgamisms.
Avoid anal sex, especially without protection.
Urinate after you have sexual intercourse in order to help clean the urethra and prevent infection. This applies to both men and women.
Have an annual checkup to be screened for STDs that you may not know you have.
If you know that you have a sexually transmitted disease, be responsible. Inform your partner and insist that he or she be examined and treated as well. Follow the treatment regimen that your physician prescribes as completely as possible, and always use protection whenever you engage in sex.
Best of health to you
