You said it is worked on type 1 virus.
It is very easy to fight type 1, ok even with toothpaste.
But for type 2, it is not very easy like that.
Any way, I will try coconut oil this time.

Does it really? That is amazing! How much do you take and for how long? Do you drink it? I am not a sufferer but my hubby is and he would take anything that works.

yes, and I am using the coco oil with great success! topically only at this point, waiting for the mail order to arrive per your suggesstion..

also, as an FYI to anyone interested, I have been using a dab of arnica ointment mixed with cocnut oil in the private areas and it actually seemed to supress an outbreak entirely recently. the redness never even had a chance to sprout into blisters(!) It receded and did not pop back up.

but, re: india,

from my understanding of the new indian herb research,both from the kind friend who sent it and discussion with a genius nutritionist, preliminary reports suggest it is the strongest defense against HSV that they have found on the planet, far outperforming every other anti-viral substance.

Also, my understanding based on the wording, is that it may actually be a CURE, meaning: you test negative for hsv-2 at the docs office after therapy. Not just latency, but DEAD! Anyway, that is what I have been told by the nutritionist. Would you mind taking another look at the article below and conveying your interpretations! (only if that is okay, of course)

Exciting indeed, but until any of us can actually try some out (don't hold your breath anyone!!), coconut oil is the way to go IMHO!! :)

It works great and I am only using it topically at this point!THANKS AGAIN!!!!

NEW DELHI, Aug 23 (Bernama) -- Indian scientists claim to have identified two plants in the Nilgiri hills that may contain a cure for life-threatening diseases caused by Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), said the Press Trust of India (PTI) in a report Monday.

The finding assumes significance as drugs currently available to treat HSV infections are very few and not efficient.

P Vijayan and co-workers at the J S S College of Pharmacy in Ootacamund in southern state of Tamil Nadu report that extracts of Hypericum Mysorense and Hypericum Hookeranum suppressed HSV infection 100 per cent.

The scientists studied anti-viral activity of extracts of 18 plants against HSV-infected cells in test-tubes and found these two plants to be deadly against HSV at low concentrations.

These two plants are already used in the treatment for anxiety and inflammation by practitioners of traditional medicine, the report said.

Isolation of active constituents in these plants "may provide useful lead to the development of new and effective drugs against HSV infection, they have reported in the Indian Journal of Medical Research.

I looked for these two herbs as well and couldn't find a thing. Please post any info. if you do find them and I'll do the same! Thanks and best of luck :)

I am looking also!

Not sure where to turn, but one good idea, since it was in India, is to find a badass Ayurvedic doctor (traditional Indian Medicine/Herbology)

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=ayurvedic+medicine

etc..

I bet they would know and perhaps were even the original source of the information about the herbs in the study..

Good Luck!

ps- coconut oil has been working GREAT for me as well(!) :)

Well most of the time you have to find your way to make and extract in order to make it more effective, but for this you would need some kind of freeze dryer or atomizer. the process is actually simple, you would have to make some kind of infusion like a tea and then put this on the machine and evaporate all water and whatever is left is considered an extract (this get to be expensive becuase you will need this machine). Another method is to make a hydro-alcoholic extract in which you used alcohol to retrieve the active ingredients from the plant into an infusion but is more complicated that the previous one and need some kind of technique. I guess you best option is just to make and infusion with the part of plant that is supposed to be rich in active ingredients (root, petals, trunk, bark, etc) and just drink it like tea. Just try to do some research about at which temperature those ingredients will loose their strenght or things like that. Then you will be able to make an infusion that will actually work.

you can find it by typing "A cure for herpes in the Nilgiri Hills?" into google

You can find more info on, and purchase products contaaining both these herbs at biogetica.com

Hope it helps,
