Let's Fight the Demonization of "Genital Herpes" 17 y
So-called cold sores are herpes. I have had too many people in my clinic and through the Internet say to me, “I don’t have herpes, I’ve never had an STD, but I do get these cold sores on my lips”.
The Demonization of Genital Herpes
Those of us who have so-called “genital herpes” are caught between a rock and a hard place. On one hand we are ostracized by the minority of the population (about 40%) who don’t currently have herpes simplex in their body, which is bad enough, but more cruelly we are often isolated by our fellow members of the herpes community who have so-called cold sores (heroes simplex 1 of the mouth and face). Frankly the lack of support form the majority of population who has cold sores bothers me far more than the stigma placed on me by unsympathetic members of t ... read more Stigma, What Stigma? 17 y
Most people are reasonable, open and supportive, if you give them a chance. And if you run into some of the destroyers out there, that's okay too, it's all part of life.
I started this blog as an empowerment and encouragement zone for those of of with ”the gift”. Just because a few mean-spirited and ignorant people wish to continue the stigma doesn’t mean we have to buy into it.

We can’t control what others say or do but we can control ourselves. We can be be honest, upfront and unashamed.
There is no more reason to be ashamed of having herpes than having acne or arthritis.

Living out of synch with nature is the great disease, from that flows all the tributaries we have come to think of as sickness.
Healing the Collective Body
In George Orwell’s influential novel “1984” doublethink is a device promoted by the totalitarian state government to make people accept two irreconcilable ideas at the same time such as ”war is peace”. I see the merit in flowing with duality. One of my most cherished dualities is the understanding that we are both autonomous individuals with the power to shape our personal destinies and at the same time we are all one, that there is no separation between you and I, we are all together in this thing called life, we human beings, the birds and the tress, the ro ... read more A Prescription for Love 17 y
Are you loving others? or has herpes made you shut down and go into hiding? People out there need your love. To withhold your love and sex from others because of being ashamed of having herpes not only robs you of the experience of being loved but robs others of the chance of being loved by you. Love always opens up , real love doesn't close down. Open your heart and mind and get back into the world and love.
A Prescription for Love.
For anyone who is struggling with their herpes, and even for those who are not struggling, here’s my prescription for Love.
Love is the universal agent of healing. Everything good and positive and sustainable in this world comes from love. The best prescription for herpes is a daily mega-dose of love.
Do you love yourself? Has having herpes made you love yourself less? If others try to trash you for having herpes- love yourself so hard and so well that the hate and ignorance from the outside world cannot penetrate the golden light of love around you.

Up until fairly recently we (human beings) were a relatively benign presence on the earth. We lived in harmony with the earth. We didn’t have much choice. Our survival depended on it.
Then our “intelligence”, arrogance and greed mutated us into the worst plague the earth has ever seen. We are making the planet sick and if we don’t change our ways soon the earth will die.

If you are a woman who has herpes it’s vitally important that you use your feminine instincts to make peace with the virus, reject any notion of yourself being dirty or compromised by having herpes, and reach out to your community for support and love.
Herpes /Her-Peace
In my experience as a clinician it became apparent almost immediately that herpes is a very different disease for women than it is for men. It is easier for a woman to be infected with herpes than it is for a man. Women tend to experience more severe symptoms than men. Women are more likely to feel stigmatized by having herpes since we still live in a culture where many people (including many women) expect women to be purer than men. We embrace bad boys, we tend to punish “bad women”. My three years of research with sex workers proved this point over and over again to ... read more How to Have Holistic Safer Sex 17 y
If you do not know your partner’s test status it’s best to assume that they have at least one sexually transmitted infection and to govern yourself accordingly. If you do not know your test results you should also assume that you have at least one sexually transmitted infection and should take the appropriate precautions to inform and protect your partner/s.

Have Sex:
A happy and life-affirming sex life is your God/dess given right. Don’t feel that you have to opt out of the joys of life just because you have a life-long herpes infection. It’s not easy to feel sexy when you are having regular outbreaks, especially if you are a woman, but it’s important to feel like a whole, clean, desirable person.
I’ve written before and I’ll write it again that having herpes or hpv doesn’t make you any less attractive, or sexy or moral or clean as you were before you got herpes or hpv. Perception can be very deceptive; ... read more Don't Let Herpes Make You into a Victim 17 y
I don’t expect anyone to throw a “I’ve just been diagnosed with herpes “ party, but why all the doom and gloom? Must we really buy into this false stigma? Is it all that bad?
Don’t Let Herpes Make You Into A Victim
We live in an affluent, highly privileged society. We spoil and indulge ourselves shamelessly. We consume way more than our fair share of the planet’s resources. We drug ourselves with coffee, cigarettes, alcohol and comfort foods. We distract ourselves with junk culture coming from our televisions, radios and print media. In the midst of all this the temptation is there to want to identify ourselves as a victim so we can have an excuse to feel sorry for ourselves.
There are many real victims out there: children who are being sexually abused, w ... read more Why You Doctor May be the Last Person You Want to Speak with about Herpes 17 y

Why Your Doctor May Be the Last Person You Want to Speak with About Herpes
1. Most doctors are uninterested and unsympathetic to persons with herpes: Doctors are busy seeing lots of patients making lots of money. Herpes is a disease very few doctor’s have taken an interest in. There is no glamour involved with herpes like with cancer or heart disease. There are no big charities or foundations with millions or billions for research, and it’s incurable. Other than writing a prescription for an acyclovir-based drug there’s not much else seeing a doctor can do for persons with herpes. Very ... read more Some Holistic Herpes Treatment Keynotes 17 y
Herpes needs to be addressed on many levels
Herpes needs to be addressed on many levels- herpes is largely an emotion driven disease. How you feel about having herpes, how well you handle stress and how much support and understanding you have from your inner circle, about your herpes, can determine how well you fare with the disease. Herpes also can change quite significantly during the course of someone’s history so any long term holistic management startegy would would have to be flexible enough to deal with the evolutionary nature of the presenting symptoms. No two people experience herpes the same way so it’s unempowering to spe ... read more A Herpes Free New Year 18 y
It's it largely up to you. If you are willing to make peace with the Herpes or HPV virus and take a fearless personal inventory of your life you will be able to identify the habits and lifestyle choices that are triggering your outbreaks. You have the power to make progressive changes without being dependant on a prescription drug. No matter what your past history is with Herpes or HPV you can change your situation now.
A Herpes and HPV Free New Year
This year my fondest wish for you is to have a year where Herpes and HPV are a non-factor in your life. A year in which you spend no more time worrying about Herpes or HPV than you would worrying about how many different children have played the role of Annie in Little Orphan Annie on Broadway.

Love is the Seventh Wave
Albert Einstein spent his whole brilliant career searching for the unifying force- a simple, elegant equation that would describe how the universe works. He never found it although it was right in front of his face the whole time. Love is the unifying force. Love equals everything.
Love is the strong and weak nuclear force. Love is the gravitational force.
Love is the glue. Love is the vibration.
Love is the wave. Love is the particle.
Love is the basis for all uncertainty and every certainty.
In the absence of love there is nothing.

Herbal medicine and all forms of natural healing is a key component in us living in harmony with the earth. When you treat yourself with natural medicine not only are you helping yourself make peace with the disease in your body, but you are also reconnecting yourself with the plants in your medicine and the viral forces of the planet which are embodied in the plants. It is an antidote to the impersonal, synthetic, mass-produced industrial drugs from the same collective mentality that is raping and plundering the planet.

Condoms are of course a great tool in making sex safer. But there are problems with condoms-they can break or slide off. They don't offer much help if the man's site for Herpes or genital warts are in locations other than the penis, i.e. buttocks, legs, etc.

My name is Christopher Scipio and I am a Holistic Herpes and HPV Specialist. I have been a Homeopath and Herbalist for 20 years, but it wasn’t until I contracted Herpes myself in 1990 and had a bad reaction to Valtrex that I started developing a Holistic Protocol for Herpes and HPV. Even during the heady days four years past when I finally was satisfied with the results my patients were achieving with the protocol, I was still left with a daunting challenge.
