According to western medicine there is no cure for herpes, atleast that's what the drug industry wants you to believe. There is more money in suppressing symptoms rather than eliminateing the virus itself. I know of a german homeopathic remedy which is highly suppressed from the general population which seems to work rather well for herpes simplex 1 & 2. It took over a course of many years to locate this product and to be able to get it into the U.S.
