a cleanse certainly could help. I've also had some good experience (no outbreak problems in several weeks) with a couple of good suppliments that have a similar cleansing affect on the whole body. So I guess the long and short of my answer is yes, I think a cleanse could help, and so could some other approaches. If you want to talk in more detail about what I've done, just shoot me an email. It's much easier for me to respond that way. later, and best of luck, Mike
