I do take supplements : Reishi (aka Ganoderma lucidum) to boost immunity since 3 months ago, but I've been outbreak-free for 12 months. A brief explaination regarding sourcing this good stuff
During the outbreak, I soaked the sores in my own fresh urine, as described in my old posts. No drinking of urine. I'm also a smoker (20 cigs/day), been a smoker for 10 years.
