Has anyone heard about Tagamet for treating outbreaks?

Hi Everyone:

It's been a while since I last posted and I'll give you all my BHT update in a different post. However, I just found this article,

here's the link:

Studies indicate that viruses like herpes simplex and herpes zoster can be put into quick remission, or the breakouts prevented altogether, when T-lymphocyte suppressor cell function is inhibited. The best way of accomplishing this is to take 200 mg of cimetidine (Tagamet) three times a day and then 400 mg at bedtime. Tagamet is available in pharmacies over-the-counter.

Has anyone ever tried this????
