We had problems with herpes on our lips, I know the strand is different, but we put 15 drops of liquid oxygen, in 8oz glass of water, and drank that as directed on bottle, and took lysine as directed, and Red Marine algae as directed on bottle. Our cold sores we caught on the onset of it, and they disappeared in 2 days and didn't come go florition, full growth. Wonder if that would help genital herpes, please let me know what you think. princess spelled backwards!! :)
