I just want to say that I've tried lots and lots of stuff to get rid of cold sores and spent around a thousand dollars on drugs and other remedies throuhout the 27 years that I've been battling this stupid virus.
I made a youtube video of the last cold sore that I had and demonstrated the most effective remedy that I've found out there. Search for VyGone on youtube. The video is about one minute but it changed my life.
