The myths of herpes
I read a book in a library years ago called THE BODY VICTORIOUS about the human immune system which stated that EVERYONE is BORN with these "viruses", we don't "get" them from someone else... and it's only when the body gets into a certain condition that the symptoms appear, much like flies buzzing around a dirty garbage can. Clean and disinfect the can and the flies disappear.
Years ago I went to see a nutritionist named Dr. Richard Leek in Arizona (he's now deceased) he had researched herpes for years and he was a molecular biologist & PHD. His findings were that herpes was a problem based on faulty calcium metabolism and body PH problems.He presented his findings to the CDC and they weren't interested. Funny that Lysine, recommended commonly for herpes patients, helps calcium assimilation.And calcium helps buffer excess acid PH, which the "virus" needs to replicate.
My symptoms began in 1983, just a year or so after having a basket
kidney stone removal which traumatized my genitals I'm sure. For years I've avoided the "arginine foods" etc. because of what I had read about it bringing on attacks. Recently i had to take arginine in 4 grams doses to help heal a stubborn injury, due to it helps increase circulation. I have had NO outbreaks at all from the arginine. On the contrary...I've been symptom free for months.
Many other natural healers feel that herpes outbreaks later in life are a direct result of the suppression of measles/chicken pox in childhood by common pharmaceutical drugs which drive the "virus" into deep dormant condition, later to resurface when the PH or immune system or calcium levels dwindle.
Everyone is waiting for "the definitive cure" which will never happen without changing and addressing all the lifestyle issues which contribute to the disease. There is also a "spiritual" component to this disease which some healers have written about, which is dealing with self-rejection issues/unworthiness feelings etc.
