Remedies for Herpes

It is not recommended to take -over the counter ointments- for HSV treatment since they can interfere with the bodies healing process in a number of ways, causing herpes outbreaks to last longer. Try to keep the infected area clean and as dry as possible. And also gives certain area adequate air to speed up healing process.

The frequency of outbreaks can often be influenced through effective stress management, and getting adequate sleep, nutrition, and exercise.

Illness, poor diet, physical stress, friction in the effected area, prolonged exposure to sun light, surgical trauma, or steroidal medication (such as asthma treatment) may trigger a herpes outbreak.

Some often ask about an amino acid by the name of lysine (L-lysine; L stands for the 'left handed stereo isomer' which is a typical kind of amino acids found in nature), because of Internet claims or claims from other people that it helps treat outbreaks. Lysine is a healthy natural compound that is found in all living organisms. Reduced frequency of recurrences and speed up healing time can be triggered by lysine supplements. Many individual and government research studies show this amino acid to help the herpes virus from multiplying.

Lysine can be easily obtained from local health store. Although there are benefits for consuming this amino acid, you should consult your physician about your dose limit. Megadoses of lysine may throw other amino acids out of balance and interfere with the absorption of other nutrients such as vitamins and minerals.

Some people might claim that arginine (one of the amino acids) containing food could induce imbalance of their body intake. Some might even say that arginine plays some roles to induce the outbreak. One that is certain is that there is not enough evidence to prove that.

Over the counter Herpes tablets are available and many people swear by them. There are blogs filled with people bragging to be outbreak free, simply by taking a product on a regular basis. One product that keeps popping up is Viruxo. We have found hundreds of claims from people suffering with herpes, that have had very impressive results from using Viruxo.

These are information on Viruxo taken from various articles and blog:

"Viruxo contains unique ingredients which can suppress the Herpes Virus. These compounds have been found beneficial, by both government and private controlled studies. Since there is no current cure for Herpes, it is critically important to keep the virus in check and control its growth. The main ingredient in Viruxo is one of the only known compounds that has been proven to slow the growth and replication of the Herpes Virus. Viruxo also contains other important ingredients to help boost your body's immune system to help it naturally ward off the Herpes Virus. If an outbreak should occur, Viruxo's other ingredients significantly shorten the healing time. Viruxo will help your entire immune system. If you are not having an outbreak, it is probably because your immune system is keeping the virus in check. It is said your immune systems function at a fraction of their potential through traditional diet. Taking Viruxo will actually boost your immune system giving it the ability to kill the Herpes virus through its precise blend of ingredients. Your body's ability to get on top of HSV and control recurrences is directly related to the state of your immune system. Without a strong immune system the body can become overwhelmed by Herpes, sometimes allowing severe and persistent outbreaks to surface. Your immune system is the very reason why many symptoms (such as fever, headaches and flu-like illness) are commonly only experienced during the "primary" outbreak or first exposure to the virus. During a first Herpes outbreak, the immune system develops antibodies and other weapons against the virus. During a recurrence, then, this "immune memory" can help to fight off infection more quickly. As a result, as time goes on there are usually fewer sores, they heal faster, and the overall outbreak is less painful. If you use Viruxo to create a strong immune system, you can expect to have greater control over HSV and any symptoms that go with it. This can mean fewer sores, longer spaces in between each episode and less severe symptoms when they happen."

After our research we have come to the conclusion that if an individual takes the proper supplements, has a proper diet, gets the proper rest and takes care of their overall health, herpes doesn't have to control or hinder a normal life style.

From that information, I can assume that you need to take the supplement daily to get the best result, but I recommend not to take a large dose of that supplement as I am not so sure if it really doesn't interrupt our body function at cellular level, some people might be having sensitive reaction to these mixed ingredients, especially about information regarding HSV replication blocking. It may not be at our advantage to rely too much on such supplement as it can potentially interrupt our protein synthesis and can potentially generate new mutants that immune to this kind of treatment.
