How To Keep Herpes Naturally Suppressed. Join In!

Would you like to try to keep your Herpes surpressed naturally for an entire year? If yes then please read!

(NOTE: THIS IS A LONG POST, DO NOT FEEL THE NEED TO READ THE ENTIRE THING. IF YOU WANT TO SKIP TO THE SUPPLEMENTS, PLEASE JUST JUMP TO SECTION IV AND VII.)


I hope this guide will help you to no longer have to face the pain and suffering that you do. I hope you know that this isn't a death sentence of a virus. Your personal life and your romantic/dating life can continue just as it has in the past.

Hopefully, the supplements in this guide combined with an Alkaline Diet will allow us to be basically Herpes Free by keeping it in full suppression.



After years of only reading these types of forums for HSV-1 or HSV-2, I have finally decided to post what I hope will become information that will help at least one person.

I. PURPOSE:

I understand that right now there is not a cure. I do know that there are some amazing natural remedies that provide intense suppression of viruses, especially HSV-1 and HSV-2.

Consequently, the focus of this thread is to share my plan on how to KEEP HERPES IN FULL SUPPRESSION FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR, through diet change and extremely well-researched supplements. PLEASE JOIN ME IN THIS JOURNEY IF YOU CAN!!

So, who is this post for? Well, this post is for anyone who is absolutely sick and tired of this virus. If you’ve pretty much accepted your disease and can bear it, I am sincerely happy for you. This isn’t the post for you though.

If on the other hand, you are sick and tired of this virus taking over your life, and you are ready to pull out all the stops, this is the post you! Hopefully, in time, it will help you.


II. My Story:

I feel for the pain of everyone who has to deal with this virus. I have felt the full spectrum of feelings. From acceptance to deep depression. I’ve hidden in my room and house for days, practically weeks on end.

I’ve missed important days for friends, family, work, social events, because of herpes. I’m just now able to say herpes. You can say that I have graduated to officially having Herpes to be specific. Allow me to explain.

I don’t know when my body contracted the virus, if it lay dormant in my system for years or what. I do know that around 2009 I began had my first sever initial outbreak. I had no idea what was going on. I learned quickly that I wouldn’t be able to afford the medication like Valtrex. (Was poor post-college student at the time)

Like everyone, I immediately began focusing on lysine/arginine ratio in my diet. That seemed to help. I tried the lysine supplements but quickly fell of the bandwagon. (Even though I’m now back on it for lysine, just had to find a supplement that was high quality in bioavailability)

These things helped…kind of.

I kept getting outbreaks every 3-4 weeks for a couple of years. Slowly the intensity died down.
I started taking generic Valtrex, it helped, and I know they say it's safe but come on. I don't trust that any of these things such as Valtrex aren't slowly affecting/killing another part of your body.

Getting back to my tale, time went past. I got married. My wife seems to get prodromal symptoms from her sexual contact with me, but she is blessed with an immune system that can fight HSV pretty darn well.

However, somewhere around May of 2016, my above-the-waist HSV-1 transferred below the waist to genital HSV-1. How fortunate! It’s like going back to 2009 all over again. These symptoms seem much worse. (Not as bad as some things you see on Google Images) But still, getting an oozing sore on your cherished genitalia is a buzzkill to say the least.

The good news, however, is that it has renewed in me a new found desire to fight this virus. I refuse to be complacent.

Therefore, after many hours, days, weeks, and months of time constantly researching and researching I have found what I hope to be a proper NATURAL solution. My basic methodology was the following:



III. PLAN OF ACTION:

1. Supplements. Plan is to take all of the supplements from GROUP 1 for the next three months and see if they keep HSV in submission. If not, the secondary plan is to add one or two supplements from GROUP 2 until we find the perfect amount to keep HSV at bay.

This will vary probably based upon HOW WELL YOU DO WITH A HERPES FRIENDLY/ALKALINE DIET.

(I really miss chocolate and candy bars with nuts and such but is it really worth what follows? Ideally, after months of successful suppression we will be able to slowly reintroduce a limited selection of foods. Everyone needs a cheat day. However right now, let's put it in suppression first and get our immune systems working to their highest capabilities!)

Of course it will also vary based upon your body type and gender I'm sure. Our goal is to find the right type and amount of supplements to take in general to keep HSV suppressed naturally.

For this part of the plan, I tried to look at any supplement that had even a little bit of evidence that it helped HSV and then research it thoroughly. I’m not doctor or scientist, but I have always been an avid reader and I became quite obsessed with my new found passion.

I ruled out things that didn’t seem safe. I focused on things with CLINICAL STUDIES. However, I did include some that just seemed practical but yet to have clear definitive clinical studies done for. Who has time to wait?

2. Alkaline Diet. I was skeptical at first but just a couple months on a 70% Alkaline diet and I have seen vast improvements. The evidence shows that my latest outbreak has been a result of a major diversion off that diet. (weekend filled with soft drinks/starburst/skittles. I thought I was being smart by avoiding chocolate and nuts. Real smart guy huh?)

I have done a lot of research into helping your body in its natural PH regulation and I am now a firm believer. Facts don’t lie. I strongly suggest you take a few minutes (hours if your nerdy like me) and do your own research into Alkaline Body and Herpes Virus. Well worth the knowledge my friends.

Let’s address each one of these supplements. I will try to list them in a rough order of possible most importance.



IV. SUPPLEMENTS:

This was in my opinion the most important lesson I learned. There are too many companies that just jump on a bandwagon of a particular supplement and push out crap products. They seem to spend more money marketing than on product development. So you’ll see their names first on a web search for that supplement, but the quality might be crap.

The results often surprised me. Also, some of the supplement’s came from all over the world. Quite fascinating if you’re a little bit nerdy and like to read.

FROM MY RESEARCH, THIS FIRST GROUP HAS THE STRONGEST NATURAL ANTI-VIRAL PROPERTIES THAT CAN KEEP HERPES SUPPRESSED.

HOW DO WE KNOW? WHY CAN YOU TRUST THIS GROUP 1?

THESE SUPPLEMENTS THEMSELVES ALL COME BACKED WITH THOROUGH CLINICAL STUDIES THAT PROVE THEIR EFFECTIVENESS AGAINST HSV-1.

IN ADDITION, THE SELECTED COMPANIES FOR EACH PARTICULAR SUPPLEMENT ALL PROVIDED LAB RESULTS OF THEIR PRODUCTS QUALITY.

GROUP 1

1. Olive Leaf Extract.

Best Company Making It: Olivus- Go for the MAX version of the capsules

I love Olivus. They are the BEST in the Olive extract game for capsules. Gaia Herb’s tincture’s have never failed me, as I stated before, when it comes to direct application to an exposed Cold Sore/Genital HSV-1 outbreak.

Yet, for daily suppression, which is the goal here, Olivus Max is they way to go. Why? Well who else offers 25% Oleuropein per capsule?)

2. Red Marine Algae.

Best Company Making It: Pure Planet

(This company was chosen because they gave me a response once I called in to ask about their extraction methods. They also use a combination of Gigartina and Dumontiaceae, which are both needed for an effective battle against Herpes. I will post specifics in a future update.

3. DIM (Safer version of Indole-3-Carbinol )-

Best Company Making It: BioResponse DIM

(I chose this company because they are the only DIM product that is used for Clinical Studies. If scientists use it, then why shouldn’t we?)

4. Curcumin.

Best Company Making It: Progressive Labs

(There are a few companies that use the patented BCM-95 from DolCas Biotech, in their respective Curcumin products. For this supplement, I would try to find at least a company that carries BCM-95 listed on their ingredient label for Curcumin. It’s a pretty simple, but genius methodology that DolCas used. If you like to research, go ahead and look up DolCas Biotech’s site and read about how they came up with their product)

5. Spirulina.

How to find the HIGHEST QUALITY- Google: Amazon FEBICO Spirulina and you should find an amazing company making the top quality product in its field)

(Remember in the movie Blow when Johnny Depp’s character got cut out from being the middle man? This was one of the surprises I found. This is the company from Japan that a lot the US companies get their source product from. Why not go straight to the source? This particular company has been making Spirulina more than anyone in the world by decades. They are serious about this supplement)

6. Resveratrol-

Best Company Making It: Perfect Supplements (Product will be called Perfect ResGrape)

(After doing research, it turns out that a lot of companies use an ineffective version of Resveratrol that comes from Japanese Knotwood and only gives you around 50% once you digest it. This particular product gets theirs from Muscadine, offering around 99% bioavailability once it’s in your system.)

7. Reishi-

Best Company Making It: Host Defense

(Admittedly, I didn’t do my typical minimum of one hour of research to find this company, but that’s because not many companies make Reishi compared to some of the other supplements, and also, these guys do an obvious banger of a job. Plus, it’s made in the USA. I recommend you check the manufacturer “Host Defense” out.

I WILL BE TAKING ONLY THE ABOVE LISTED PRODUCTS FOR THE FIRST THREE MONTHS. IF I GET THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF A SORE, I WILL ADD ONE OF THE FOLLOWING IN GROUP 2.

FINANCES: Money plays a part in all of our lives obviously. DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO TAKE ALL OF THE ABOVE TO JOIN IN on this experiment. Number five is particularly expensive. I would recommend that you do what you can!

(Note: I am listing supplements first because it's easier for me to do while the info is fresh in my mind. Yet I feel if you are on an extreme budget, PROBABLY NOTHING IS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN A PROPER, STRICT ALKALINE/HERPES FRIENDLY DIET along with getting into A regular HYDRATION HABIT. I will post about that in the very near future)


I put GROUP 1 in an order of importance that was gained from my research. So, if you can only do the top three, that (hopefully) will be the three most powerful natural remedies. In fact, my guess is that the top three of the above list would be good enough on their own actually.


V. FURTHER OBSERVATIONS:

There are many more supplements out there that have research backing them to help HSV-1. I ordered about seven more products that are not on this list. Why am I not taking them right away or listing them with the above?

A lot had to do with clinical studies. I wanted to use as much Science as possible to inform my semi-educated guesses at what would be most effective. Now some of the following supplements do have some clinical studies for successfully fighting herpes.

However, I also don’t want to overload my system with a thousand pills. I want to find something sustainable for myself, and for someone who may not be in my financial situation.

Yet still, for those who want to get a little crazy, I will list the other products that made my list and are waiting on standby. In a slightly particular order, the silver medals go to-

GROUP 2:

1. Chlorella- Once again, Google: Amazon FEBICO Chlorella

2. Garlic Extract ( I actually never ordered this one. The research/studies were extremely solid but I get a ton of garlic from my diet)

3. Colloidial Silver- Company Name: MesoSilver

4. Elderberry- Company Name: Nature's Way

5. Selenium- Progressive Labs

My research of the above five made it hard to leave them off. They all seem to help HSV-1 a lot. I might add one or two as this year progresses. I will definitely take one or two if I feel the slightest inkling of the beginning of the prodromal stage. I will keep you posted.

Now for the products that almost made the list. This list is in no particular order. Some of my favorites are at the bottom of the list actually.

VI. Honorable Mentions:

A. Grapefruit Seed Extract (Seemed a little sketchy in the safety department)

B. Zinc (Better as a topical and remember our goal is to not get to that stage)

C. Monolaurin Supplement (I cook everything with Coconut Oil already, but the research was solid)

D. Astragalus Root

E. Cat’s Claw

F. Pau D’arco (Might still make this tea at night)

G. Iron Supplement

H. Fish Oil (I’m basically a pescatarian so I get it from my diet)

I. Adenosine Monophosphate- Try to google the name of this and the keyword:Herpes and you should find a study that I wasn't able to post a link to. (Great study but you need a compounding pharmacist to make this for you. A bit to complicated for sustainability purposes)

J. Lomatium (Seemed promising if you’re interested)

K. Echinacea (Echinamide seemed the route I would go if I ever came back to this one)

VII. SUPPLEMENTS ANYONE WITH HSV SHOULD TAKE:

1. VITAMIN-C:

Best Company Making It: Google search: Vitamin C Foundation and look for their China-Free Liposmal product.

So hard to find one that wasn’t run of the mill basic, or a rip-off with fillers! Read about it please. If you don't have the time to research, trust me on this one.

2. Lysine -

Best Company Making It: Global Herbal Supplies.

Best Lysine in the game in my opinion. Great quality. Everyone with Herpes should have a top of the line Lysine Supplement.

NOTE: I did read however that you shouldn't take Lysine at the same time as Olive Leaf Extract. There was a suggestion to allow three hours in between the two.)

My research made me a fan of the need to take take large amounts of Vitamin C, but I didn’t get far enough in my research to comment well enough on it. Maybe I will update on that in the future.

CONCLUSION: This is just the first part of this full-frontal attack on HSV. We can beat this. I will post how you can find the Clinical Studies that I used to determine the list next.

After that I will update on the Alkaline Diet and why you need to stop making excuses with your diet. It’s not worth what we have to go through. You’ll be fine without a Snickers or some nuts for that trail-mix.

Thanks again for taking the time to read this! Let’s kick this together!

(NOTE- IF YOU DO HAVE OR STILL GET SORES THAT MAKE IT TO OR PAST THE PRODROMAL STAGE: What helped me over these years was dealing with the virus in the prodromal stage. I began to use GAIA HERBS OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT (TINCTURE ONLY). It has saved me, and after many years of trial and error, I know I have in my supply cabinet exactly what is needed to kill a virus in its tracts.

I swear by it, but topical treatment IS NOT what I want to accomplish by this year long experiment. I don’t want to ever have to apply the Olive Leaf extract to a cold sore again! I don’t want the darn things coming up period anymore. Yet I felt compelled to share.

I usually get a dropper full of the liquid and wet a q-tip and then apply it to the cold sore for at least 60 seconds. In the first day I usually get obsessive and do this as much as I can, like every hour. The alcohol in the extract will dry the sore out, so about 3-5 minutes after application I recommend applying your lubricant of choice. I like Neosporin or something with Propolis, Aloe Vera or Lemon Balm in it.)
