Hugo, you have a lot of valuable information but you have a very pro-conventional medicine point of view. I would say that the majority of people that come to this site believe alternative treatments to disease work. Conventional medicine (FDA) insists that only drugs can cure disease. If you know what I know about the government you know that they do whatever is necessary to manipulate your thoughts and opinions from the cradle to the grave.
I have tried a huge amount of these natural treatments described on here during the first year after my initial infection. I, as of now, no longer get any outbreaks no matter what kind of crap I eat or drink. In fact I've been taking absolute shit care of myself and have had no issues. Now this may be because I (believe) I contracted HSV1 genitally and I had already had the infection orally. The prior oral outbreaks had disappeared during the past five years until the reinfection. I performed oral on this lyer and was heavily infected that night. After months of intense natural treatment protocols I am no longer getting outbreaks. Am I 100% convinced I killed it? No, but I'm glad I tried these natural treatments because they appear to have done more good than harm.
I will be going back for another test eventually and will keep the forum posted. I don't have the energy to write out all that I tried. Almost everything except BHT, zapping and radio wave stuff, etc.
Here's some of the stuff I tried.
Dmso/ food grade h202 drinking and baths. I can honestly say the DMSO was something I would apply and watch stop a breakout almost right before my eyes.
Colloidal Silver I also got into the gold and copper for a while.
General alkalizing of blood through proper diet
vegetable
juicing with lots of garlic (8 cloves) which seemed to cause healing reactions. High fever, chills.
oil pulling
lysine
high quality vitamins (garden of life for me)
wheat grass
green tea
biogetica
LOTS of coconut oil
Vitamin D
No coffee, no beer, no wine (no sex) any of that for almost a year. Now I'm drinking way too much and regularly have coffee (but still no sex). No breakout issues.
It seemed that everytime I had
Mono-Sodium-Glutamat (Natrium Glutamat) during that first year I would get a oral break out. Not anymore, although I still avoid it.
Am I cured? Who the hell knows? Do I have breakouts? No. Am I glad I didn't listen to Hugo's advice when I first logged on here and not tried any of these natural treatments. Yes, I am. I'm certain I would be having recurring outbreaks. "Never An Outbreak" appears to have done as promised. But I also did tons of other stuff. And this anti DMSO stuff is bunk.
Could the hsv1 have infected me genitally and not set up shop due to my immune system and the fact that it doesn't set up shop well in the genital region? Sure but the extremely bad oral outbreaks have also subsided.
Anyway, that's me story.
