herpes is a virus. if you want to defeat it before it "surfaces", then you must bolster your immune system. remedies (lotions, topical creams, etc.) only attack the symptoms. furthermore, drugs (of the acyclovir family for herpes), such as valtrex, only inhibit the virus from replicating. valtrex doesnt actually kill the virus--thats the job of your immune system. valtrex merely slows down the virus in order to give your body more of an edge in the battle. the natural killer (NK) cells that your immune system produces are what actually kill the virus particles.

the key to beating herpes is to attack the virus INTERNALLY on an EVERYDAY basis with good overall health, particularly when it comes to your immune system. look into immune system supplements. and, of course, you should eat right and exercise.

the strongest immune system supplement out there that ive discovered is 4-Life Transfer Factor. thats the brand name. ive been taking the "advanced" version for about a week now, and ive noticed that my skin has begun to clear up. i can positively say that i no longer "feel" like i have the virus. i have no prodromal symptoms whatsoever. i dont get "outbreaks"--and by that i mean, i dont have lesions or sores or any of the other classic herpes symptoms that are always hyped up. my symptoms are really more of very small bumps that appear to be under the skin. theyre almost like little pimples that you cant see unless you stretch the skin, and they are accompanied by a general pinkishness of the skin. its very slight, but of course, still herpes. this is what im trying to eliminate with the 4-Life Transfer factor products, and at the rate im going, im pretty confident that i will eventually have perfectly normal skin.

of course, there is always the matter of asymptomatic viral shedding to consider. this is when the virus is replicating under skin in very small quantities--you dont have symptoms. but you can tell its happening by spraying hydrogen peroxide on your skin (3% H202; you can get it at the grocery store for about $.70, usually in a brown bottle). if your skin "fizzes" white, theres something alive on your skin, such as herpes. this is a great way to sort of monitor whats going on with the virus. since ive been taking 4-Life Transfer Factor "advanced" formula, ive had no fizzing. this means that my immune system has lowered my viral count to a low level.

you can consider this my endorsement of 4-Life Transfer Factor, but if you want a topical remedy to take care of an actual open sore or lesion, there are a lot of things you can do. i havent had a such a severe symptom for a long time, but what once worked for me was to apply a BHT/olive oil mixture to the affected area. its very simple. you buy some BHT (a food preservative--it dissolves lipid envelopes, such as those that surround herpes virus particles) online and create a saturated solution with olive oil. you need to heat the solution up to make the BHT dissolve completely, or just wait a day or two. then apply to the wound. it will wipe out the open sore completely--but i found this only works with open sores.


sorry for the long post. go buy some 4-Life Transfer Factor! boosting your immune system is the only way to ultimately beat this virus, and youll also be the healthiest youve ever been in the process.

It IS possible Mr:Tony
yeah I know what you mean. Have been suffering for many years as well. Recently I came across something new and as you know how it is when you get those d... blisters regularly, you try everything. At first I wasn't very convinced - a simple heat impulse was supposed to do the job. But I remembered that heat always used to help, so I thought I give it a shot. I bought that item online (www.wellness-shop.com) and tried it. Well it didn't cure the herpes virus problem, BUT it DID prevent the outbreaks of the blisters. It's not a miracle device or so, but it definitely made my life easier as since then -with exception of one time, when the herpes came over night- I was able to prevent and successfully stop the painful blisters from appearing. Mind you though: the heat impulse which is described as "warm" feels more like burning "hot"!! Never mind, it helped :)

take care and all the best,
Martina

The Beck Protocol will cure any disease including Herpes.

You may be able to use this program off of this site for Beck information. Every one that has tried it on herpes that I know of is very happy with it.

You might want to watch out since some people may be advertising products on this forum. The beck's protocol is Johny apple's answer to any thing. Also that immune system booster thing might work but again I feel some sort of advertising going on with repeating the brand ALL the time.

You may try them but don'r expect a cure at all.

cheers,

good luck with the Transfer Factor. like i said, i havently been taking it for very long. about a week and a half. it may take weeks to notice an effect. youre building up your immune system--it doesnt happen overnight. and if your symptoms get worse, dont stop taking the capsules. thats called a "die-off" or detox reaction. its when your body is killing off so many of the virus particles, that their just overwhelming your body. increase the dosage and keep with it. its a good sign.

before i started the Transfer Factor, i did a full body cleanse in order to clear all the crap (literally) out of my digestive track. this is very healthy. by detoxing your system (intestines, liver, bloodstream), you allow your body to better absorb what you put into it thereafter... such as Transfer Factor. i definitely noticed a detox reaction when i did the full body cleanse, which consisted of fiber, laxatives, and milk thistle capsules that i bought as part of a detox kit online.

as for all the valtrex you took, were you trying to do the 10-day cure that was floating around this board? it sounds really dangerous to me.

and as for the Transfer Factor, i know its expensive. but if you consider how effective it is (look for the NK activity chart on the website), i think its worth it. if you can stop taking all the other supplements youre on, then its very affordable. and you dont have to take the "Advanced Plus" formula. there are "Advanced" and "Classic" formulas for much cheaper--and all more effective than say olive leaf extract, colostrum, or any other immune system supplement.

good luck and keep us updated.
