OK, reporting back after about 6 months UT for genital herpes and now also two weeks off of UT.
I didn't really plan to go off and test to see if I am going to do well without it. It just sort of happened due to circumstances. I was doing so well that I kept on doing without UT.
To recap, from the inception of getting herpes, it was chronic. I took Valtrex to good effect, no breakouts, and then became resistant to it and no help from it at all. I used Beck method and BHT to keep it at bay. I was not able to do 5 full months without interruption to see if Beck would really cure it. It did help but there was always that faint appearance of the breakouts. Never totally gone, never really broken out, unless I had to skip a few days. Then I would have to take so much BHT, way over what is recommended, that I would have awful headaches.
In short, it was a chronic condition that it seemed nothing would ever help.
After a few days on UT things started clearing up. After 6 months, there had been no sign of a breakout for 5 1/2 months. A virtual miracle.
The big question with me is whether or not this is a cure. Hmmm. Only way to find out is to stop the UT. Two weeks of no UT and no sign of anything !
I am way excited about this! As I posted somewhere else on this UT group, I have gone back on it because my sinus condition demands it. However, I now don't feel that I must get to it each and every day or else I will be contagious. I guess only certain tests will prove that, but I am so heartened that for the first time in about 4 years, I can just get up in the morning, go through my day without any type of treatment for the darned herpes virus.
Oh, and for a little wooo wooo metaphysical stuff. One evening while I was pondering whether or not this would ever get cured, feeling quite low, I swear I got a "message". The message was that my body could cure itself. It seemed to be related to using UT. I do think that it does somehow feed back to the body what is needed. My gut reaction to this therapy is not that it carries actual substances that do the healing, but that it carries messages that help the body to fine tune itself. All our bodies are able to heal themselves. We just need to find out how to allow it to happen.
My sincere thanks to all who have posted on this site. Without it I never would have known to try it. Thank you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
