I have been using Biogetica to try to control HSV2. I've tried many things to combat this virus. On biogetica I experienced my longest breakout-free period....one month.

I was encouraged (ecstatic) until recently. The longer I'm on it, the harder it is to avoid the diet restrictions...or,at least, the more susceptible I seem to be to the 'contraindications'.

Restricted foods/drinks/activities include mint, pepper (any peppers be they fruits or spice), ginger, raw garlic, honey, peaches, alcohol, caffiene, smoking...list goes on.
Try going out or to a friend's house to eat and not get something made with pepper!

For the past month I have had small but continuous breakouts. Only one of them developed into a classic blister, but all of the pink dots that have occured don't seem to be healing or going away. I now also have a patch of shingles which started to go away then seemed to replicate right next to the old area. This is the 2nd OB of shingles I have had on Biogetica. I had never had them before Biogetica.

I am going insane from this disease!

Can anyone shed some light on how contraindications affect the overall process of homeopathic healing. Am I just screwed? Should I start all over with something else?

Some of Biogetica's Dr's (they have and online chat with a Dr feature...very nice but they are sometimes cryptic and sometimes seem to be contradictory...at the very least confusing). One of them said the new outbreaks & shingles are a good sign that the virus is on the downhill slide in my body.

I've spent a fortune on this virus, esp at Biogetica. I keep telling myself it'll be worth it if it works. I keep ordering more because I had a month of no OB's and I'm at a loss as to what to try next(my list of efforts is loooong). I feel like I've exhausted my bank account, options and hope.

Also, one last question that has bugged me from the getgo: if oxygen kills this anerobic virus, how can it live and spread ON my skin where it is exposed to oxygen?

Thanks to any who can help.
