There are so many out there with herpes, what a nightmare it must be to have a virus like that... I pondered... My experience as a Naturopath and Herbalist has taught me that there is a herb for every ailment known to man...
so, there must be a cure and it must have something to do with herbs that kill the virus... So I started searching... and here is what I found:
First!!! Both Sugar and stress suppress the immune system. The key to good health is for us all to find ways of alleviating stress. Be sure to avoid high arginine foods such as chocolate and nuts which compete with lysine during an outbreak.
Coconut oil works on both type 1 and type 2, and indeed every member of the herpes family of viruses, and indeed any lipid coated virus.
Many people with type 2 have confirmed that coconut oil/lauric acid/lauricidin are highly effective.
Apply it topically (as much as you like).
A theraputic oral dosage might be 3-4 tablespoons a day. But you'll have to build up to that slowly. Start out at 1 teaspoon a day, then gradually build up. JV.
I have been using a dab of arnica ointment mixed with cocnut oil in the private areas and it actually seemed to supress an outbreak entirely recently. the redness never even had a chance to sprout into blisters(!) It receded and did not pop back up.
but, re: india,
from my understanding of the new indian herb research,both from the kind friend who sent it and discussion with a genius nutritionist, preliminary reports suggest it is the strongest defense against HSV that they have found on the planet, far outperforming every other anti-viral substance.
Also, my understanding based on the wording, is that it may actually be a CURE, meaning: you test negative for hsv-2 at the docs office after therapy. Not just latency, but DEAD! Anyway, that is what I have been told by the nutritionist. Would you mind taking another look at the article below and conveying your interpretations! (only if that is okay, of course)
Exciting indeed, but until any of us can actually try some out (don't hold your breath anyone!!), coconut oil is the way to go IMHO!! :)
It works great and I am only using it topically at this point!THANKS AGAIN!!!!

NEW DELHI, Aug 23 (Bernama) -- Indian scientists claim to have identified two plants in the Nilgiri hills that may contain a cure for life-threatening diseases caused by Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), said the Press Trust of India (PTI) in a report Monday.
The finding assumes significance as drugs currently available to treat HSV infections are very few and not efficient.
P Vijayan and co-workers at the J S S College of Pharmacy in Ootacamund in southern state of Tamil Nadu report that extracts of Hypericum Mysorense and Hypericum Hookeranum suppressed HSV infection 100 per cent.
The scientists studied anti-viral activity of extracts of 18 plants against HSV-infected cells in test-tubes and found these two plants to be deadly against HSV at low concentrations.
These two plants are already used in the treatment for anxiety and inflammation by practitioners of traditional medicine, the report said.
Isolation of active constituents in these plants "may provide useful lead to the development of new and effective drugs against HSV infection, they have reported in the Indian Journal of Medical Research.
Awesome. I did some googling and couldn't find any place to purchase Hypericum Mysorense and Hypericum Hookeranum, but you can buy the hookeranium flower at
Vitamin C ???
See Video to use Vitamin C to cure many Cancers and infectious Disease!!!
Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C™ has been called "Vitamin C on steroids!" This is because it utilizes state-of-the-art Liposomal Encapsulation Technology (LET). LET allows the nano-scopic spheres of Lypo-Spheric™ Vitamin C to...
quickly navigate through the digestive system
eliminate need for digestive activity prior to assimilation
rapidly absorb in the small intestine move intact, directly to the cells that need it.
release the powerful, non-degraded Vitamin C for use throughout the body as the liposomal material is assimilated by the phospholipid-craving cells that are under attack.
provide maximum assimilation and bio-availability because there are...
NO binders
NO fillers
NO gelatins
NO capsule materials
NO dyes
NO sweeteners
NO flavorings common with tablet
and capsule supplements.
The Vitamin C and the encapsulating phopholipids are nothing but pure, health-promoting, 100% nutrition. In addition, "essential phospholipid" liposomes protect the Vitamin C from several factors that can degrade and even render Vitamin C ineffective.
Factors that can reduce or destroy the power of Vitamin C tablets before your body can ever use it...
Starting at the manufacturing stage, several additives and processes can limit the digestibility and bio-availability of Vitamin C. Often the product is buffered (to make it easier on the stomach), has binders and fillers added so it will stay together, and often times is “cooked” or “esterified” to extend shelf life.
While in the bottle, free-radicals in the air can oxidize your Vitamin C. The longer it sits, the more oxidized it becomes.
Then, the enzymes in your saliva, the digestive juices in your stomach, the bile salts in your intestines, and even the organisms in your G.I. tract can further degrade the Vitamin C before it ever gets absorbed in the small intestine.
Plus, if you take more than 2 to 3 grams of traditional Vitamin C, the ascorbic acid in the intestines can cause gastric distress -- gas, cramps, and diarrhea. Often Vitamin C will be eliminated via your very loose stool.
“Smart” Lyposomal Nano-Spheres™ avoid the degradation and discomfort associated with traditional forms of Vitamin C.
How "Smart" Lyposomal Nano-Spheres™ deliver more bio-available Vitamin C into your system...
First, each uni-dose of Lypo-Spheric™ Vitamin C is individually sealed in its own packet — protected from the elements that could degrade the supplement before you use it.
Secondly, the sub-microscopic liposomes surrounding the Vitamin C are virtually impervious to degrading substances in your digestive system.
Thirdly, these “Smart” Lyposomal Nano-Spheres™ protect your lower G.I. Tract - hence, no gastric upset, no diarrheal flushing effect.
Lastly, the liposomes quickly journey to the bloodstream and, circulated throughout the body and "grabbed" by the damaged cells that need the phophatidylcholine and the Vitamin C.
We believe that humans used to manufacture all the Vitamin C they needed. The fact is, we all have the necessary gene to produce a substance called L-gulonolactone oxidase (GLO). GLO is the only missing component in the human liver required to make Vitamin C. Unfortunately, almost all of us have a defect in that gene that prevents the production of GLO and therefore prevents the synthesis of Vitamin C.
“Smart” Lyposomal Nano-Spheres™ deliver the undegraded Vitamin C you need, in a form that is quickly distributed and easily assimilated by the cells in your body that need it most!
How to use and benefit from
Lypo-Spheric™ Vitamin C
To provide maximum Vitamin C benefit to your health, simply S-Q-U-E-E-Z-E the contents of one foil packet into your favorite juice or other cool beverage. The gelatin-like liposomes disperse with a stir and add little or no taste to your drink. It’s easy to swallow and soon millions of “Smart” Lyposomal Nano-Spheres™ loaded with liquid Vitamin C race to your liver. Once there, the “essential” phospholipids made with phosphatidylcholine and the Vitamin C will be unleashed to perform their powerful health-promoting, age-reversing work!*
Each 0.2 oz. foil pack of Lypo-Spheric™ Vitamin C contains 1,000 mg of Vitamin C and 3,000 mg of “essential” phospholipids. It’s the most bio-available, anti-aging, health-promoting, easy-to-swallow Vitamin C on the planet!*

I have had a severe case of oral herpes for nearly 3 years - complete with Candida cracks at the corners of my mouth (non-HIV related), and am trying to resolve this condition with high dosage of Vitamin C. I have read on the Foundation's website of a person who apparently eradicated outbreaks with a 14g/day regimen. I am relatively new to Vitamin C mega-dosing but am extremely pleased with the results - no more colds! I am reading Dr. Pauling's book 'How to Feel Better', but it doesn't say much about herpes. Additionally, I have been advised on this forum to consider a high-dosage intravenous injection of C, use of Livonlabs Lypo C, Lysine as well as high dosages of Vitamin D3 (10000 IU/daily) to get rid of the virus. Unfortunately, I don't have a doctor in my area who does the intravenous C injections. Is it possible to do this oneself safely? Also, I would like to hear the experiences of others of treating themselves for herpes using Vitamin C.
I have had outbreaks of both herpes and shingles for over 40 years. I have managed to keep them under control since I increased my D3 to about 6200 IU daily.
Both Sugar and stress suppress the immune system. The key to good health is for us all to find ways of alleviating stress. Be sure to avoid high arginine foods such as chocolate and nuts which compete with lysine during an outbreak.
If I feel anything coming on, I immediately increase ascorbic acid to bowel tolerance, add a few packets of Lypospheric-C at night, increase activated quercetin and D3 to 50,000 IU along with a couple extra EGCG tablets.???
