Suppressing genital herpes with iron pills

Since I received this over 2 years ago, I breakout about every 4-6 weeks. To combat this I started experimenting with vitamins, beginning with a multi and potassium. The outbreaks slowed down some.

But about 4 months ago when my prodromes started flaring up, I began taking my gf's prescription 'ferrous sulfate 325mg' (iron pills), one per day. She wasn't taking the pills anymore because it was meant for a temporary anemic condition that got better (heavy 'periods'). So yea, I took one per day, and after the 3rd day (3rd pill), my prodromes up and disappeared, and no successive outbreak.

Again, i've been breaking out every 4-6 weeks for close to 3 years, and after the iron pills, I haven't had an outbreak in about 4 months.

Normally, it's not smart to take others' prescription meds, but I researched ferrous sulfate extensively before I took them. AND, after the prodromes stopped, I CEASED taking the iron pills.

Currently, I'm feeling like it's coming on again, so I might start taking my other one-a-day ;)

Anyone else linked ferrous sulfate to suppression of Herpes2 ?
