Oral herpes is an infection caused by the virus herpes simplex-1. It can cause painful sores on a persons lips, gums, tongue, roof of their mouth, and on the inside their cheeks. It can also cause fever and muscle aches.
Herpes simplex is a DNA virus that causes all herpes related eruptions. Two herpes subtypes may cause these sores.
Genital herpes is a common, highly infectious virally induced disease. It is transmitted from one person to another during sex. Genital herpes causes blisters or groups of small ulcers on and around the genital area of both men and women. There is no recognized herpes cure, and conventional methods only attempt to keep it under control.
Genital herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). There are two types known as herpes-1 and herpes-2. Most genital herpes infections are caused by HSV-2. HSV-1 is the usual cause of what most people are familiar with as “fever blisters”. Located in and around the mouth, they can be shared from person to person through kissing. Less often, herpes-1 can cause genital herpes infections through oral sexual contact. The genital sores caused by either virus look the same.
Symptoms of herpes tend to develop within 3-7 days of skin-to-skin contact with a herpes carrier. Herpes infections look like small blisters or ulcers on the genitals. Each blister or ulcer is usually only 1-3 millimeters in size, and the blisters or ulcers are generally grouped into "crops." The blisters usually form first, then quickly open to form ulcers. Herpes infections may be painless to slightly tender. However, in some people, the blisters or ulcers can be very tender and/or painful.
One of the most important recommendations I could make to anyone with the herpes virus no matter which kind, is to totally avoid diet products containing artificial sweeteners. These sweeteners are documented to have triggered herpes outbreaks in some people (oral or genital) within as little as ten minutes!
There are so many excellent natural herpes treatments. It has been declared to be an incurable disease, but I have seen several testimonials from persons that claim otherwise. One of the elemental miracle's specialties is viruses, and many people have been cured from viruses declared to be incurable such as HIV, hepatitis C, and yes, herpes, by taking the elemental miracle. It only seems logical it would eventually destroy it, but it is reported to take longer than some diseases because it is generally so deeply entrenched. It goes without saying that maintaining an alkaline system should eventually destroy herpes, as it does every other disease caused by an acidic presence.
The Elemental Miracle: has been reported to completely eliminate both types of herpes by killing the virus itself. It has to be taken in maximum dosage twice a day for two weeks however, due to the stubborn nature of the disease. Mixing it with DMSO and rubbing it on the spine, in addition to placing it externally on any cold sores, does speed the process of enacting a complete herpes cure.
Oil of Oregano: has been glorified as another option for completely killing the herpes virus. It is claimed that by daily rubbing the oil vigorously over the spinal column along with taking five drops under the tongue twice a day, will completely destroy the virus. There are people who have claimed to be freed of genital herpes in less than a month by this method. Seeing as the herpes virus does live in the spine when dormant, and oil of oregano is an amazing anti-viral, this herpes treatment does make a lot of sense. Also using oil of oregano mixed with DMSO on cold sores, is reported to be very effective.
Bitter Melon: is reported to work wonders for subduing cold sore out breaks. It's claimed if you take a couple of capsules as soon as you feel the beginning tinge of an outbreak, it will never manifest. People who take bitter melon on a regular basis claim to never have outbreaks except when they forget to take it.
Acidophilus: The same as with bitter melon it's claimed if you take a few capsules of acidophilus at the onset of an outbreak, it will never happen. It can be taken daily for constant protection as well.
L-Lysine: is favored herpes treatment by many of it's sufferers, who say to take one to two thousand milligrams four times a day.
Saw Palmetto: at the rate of 450 mg. a day is said to be an excellent way to cure herpes.
Echinacea: is claimed to be an effective herb to cure herpes.
Elderberry Extract: is applauded as an excellent means of warding off herpes outbreaks. Take it at the first tingling sensation and continue to do so four times a day for up to three days after any lingering signs.
Olive Leaf Extract: and fresh olive leaves anti-viral properties are very effective against the herpes virus. If available both can be used for an excellent herpes treatment.
Garlic: Take massive quantities of the odorless garlic softgels. I have heard of good results by taking a dozen or so of the softgels at the first sign of a tingling, and then three capsules every four hours for the next several days.
Aspirin: Taking aspirin twice a day along with strong black coffee is helpful for herpes.
Holly/Walnut Flower Essence: is said to be a very potent combination to cure herpes.
Apple Cider Vinegar: is said to be a wonderful topical solution for cold sores. Dab it on straight with a Q-tip at the first sign of an eruption and continue to do so at regular intervals until it's gone.
Acetone: Dab a Q-tip with acetone on any herpes simplex-1 or herpes-2 related cold sore several times a day, and keep the area dry with cornstarch for a very effective herpes treatment.
Alcohol: the old cold sore standby has a solid reputation for good reason. Vodka works just as well, if not better, than ordinary rubbing alcohol. Use it directly and often until the sore is gone.
Aspirin, St Johns Wort, Tea Tree Oil: The following is said to work on contact. Remove the top skin from the cold sore/herpes simplex. Put ground aspirin mixed with 2 drops of tea tree oil (organic) and 2 drops of St. John's Wort liquid form (organic) on it. If it's too painful you can numb it with Ambersol. This method kills the virus on contact. It will form a scab immediately and it stops the oozing, itching, and swelling.
Tea Tree Oil: all by itself is said to be a very dependable cold sore remedy.
Eucalyptus Oil: can be used the same as tea tree oil for basically the same results.
DMSO Gel: is very appreciated by cold sore sufferers. Put it on your lip as soon as you feel the tingling and it will keep the cold sore from appearing.
Honey: is reported to be very dependable for healing cold sores, and heals them in as little as twenty four hours! Just dab on a little honey (unpasteurized) at the first sign of a cold sore, and continue to do so at least 3 to 4 times a day. It will stop the pain and itching instantly.
Salt: applied directly to the cold sore and kept there as long as it burns, or as long as you can stand it, twice a day and before bed, will help a cold sore heal much faster.
Alum: is said to be an amazing $1.50 cure for cold sores. It dries out cold sores practically overnight! Just put it on every two or three hours until it's gone!
Colloidal Silver: used externally works very well. Also of course taken internally it has powerful anti-viral properties as well.
Earwax: I know it sounds gross, but if your stuck off somewhere and can manage to dig out some earwax, put it on your cold sore for immediate protection and relief.
Epsom Salts Bath: Soak in a hot epsom salt bath at the first sign of a herpes outbreak. Excellent aid for healing vaginal herpes.
Although no doubt there are some amazing natural cold sore remedies, in my mind never risking an outbreak would be the ideal position to stay in. Actually burning the virus out of your body forever would be the ultimate achievement, and the elemental miracle in my opinion, offers the most dependable option for that possibility, accomplishing it in the shortest amount of time. A few of the other remedies mentioned such as oil of oregano, or perhaps olive leaf extract, are also capable of performing this supposedly impossible feat.
Still diet is always crucial to naturally healing all diseases especially when it comes to something so ingrained, such as the herpes virus. Of course building up the immune system is considered critical, as is alkalizing the body. One sure way to raise your alkalinity is to take a ¼ tsp. of baking soda in a half a glass of water twice a day on an empty stomach.
Another method is to drink an 1/8 tsp. of pure borax (twenty mule team qualifies) in a liter of water everyday (5 days on; 2 days off). You could do both if your especially acidic. Also take 1 to 2 tbsp. of apple cider vinegar three times a day. It not only works wonders for raising pH, but is a favored treatment for herpes all by itself. As mentioned earlier it's highly effective for external use on cold sores as well.
As far as diet is concerned, avoiding certain items is probably more important than any you might include. At the top of the exclusion list would be any and all artificial sweeteners. Next would be nuts (especially peanuts) with the possible exception of almonds. Sugar is also a major culprit, and anything containing sugar must definitely be avoided, as should chocolate.
Avoid all fried foods, and particularly anything cooked with hydrogenated oils, which all contain trans fatty acids. This includes margarine. Also alcoholic drinks should be avoided, and anything else that puts stress on the liver, such as smoking cigarettes.
Eating just raw fresh vegetables with uncooked and unsweetened salad dressing, such as olive oil and lemon would be ideal. Red marine algae is said to be excellent for herpes. It would also alleviate any sugar cravings you might have. Take zinc supplements, especially zinc acetate and/or zinc gluconate, as these zinc compounds are strongly antiviral. As with any disease, raw food diets end them in short order. There is a world of help on-line in regard to adopting the “raw” lifestyle. The following address has some good information if you like. http://www.therawdiet.com/ebook.htm
Also this website offers some great books about eating a raw food diet: rawreform.com
I wish you all success in your effort to become free from this very annoying disease. I truly believe it can be totally eliminated if you strive by proper means, and stay with it. The elemental miracle specializes in this type of disorder (viruses) but you'll need to be patient. Ultimately the length of time it takes to completely cure herpes, is not as important an issue as being immediately and permanently free from the possibility of any future outbreaks. In an emergency situation such as a herpes pregnancy, be very vigilant and an all but immediate herpes cure is possible. Remember, the standard recommended elemental miracle regimen will free you from not only the fear of herpes in all it's bothersome aspects, but all disease. So do it!
