Am I cured I can't say that yet but here's what i do know for sure. I was diagnosed with Herpes 2 in November 2012 and it really did a number on my "little guy". I soon went on a week fast (stayed away from all trigger foods) and started using Olive Leaf extract (15+ % Oleuropein, 500mg capsules) about 2-6 grams a day (2.5 grams in the morning and 2.5 in the evening) and within a month all symptoms went away including any lesions and that oh so horrible "tingling" feeling. HSV 2 will wreck anyones day. I'm gonna keep on it for another 1-2 months and then let go completely and see what happens. If anything Olive leaf extract is 100 times better than any of those prescription meds with side affects.
