Most people would think I am crazy, but this is my story: When I was first diagnosed with the STD, my doctor told me that I would always have it, there was no cure, and I would likely get worse out breaks as the years went by. I had genital herpies for about 6 or 7 years before being deployed to Operation Desert Storm. I was beginning to believe what the doctor told me by this time. I had a rather serious out break just before the ground war started, and having to follow Military protocal, I had to first see my First Seargant to get a medical pass. After explaining why I needed to see a medic, my First Seargant said these words exactly "hell soldier, everybody has that damm stuff" He said take a bottle of clorox bleach, dump half out and fill the bottle up with water. soak a wash cloth with the 50/50 mix, and wash the area well, and then flush the area with clean water right away to avoid letting the clorox burn the skin. I did as he suggested, and it really worked. It worked so well, the out breaks became less sever and less frequent. At first it was a couple months between outbreaks, then several months, then I only had an outbreak once or twice a year. It became so infrequent, I lost track of the outbreaks. Right now, It has been over a year since I had any sign of herpies, and as far as I can remember, it may be comming on two years since an outbreak. I am not a doctor, and I only know that bleach kills nearly every bacteria known to man, and it does it instantly!! If you try this, the bleach solution only needs to contact the sores for a second, and rince right away with clean water. I believe the bleach kills the Herpies, and whats escapes is weekened so when it comes back it is less severe. Continued treatments make it weaker every time until you beat it. I truely believe that is what I have done.
