Since we frequently see alternative/complementary remedies on Lactnet, I
thought I'd tell you my favorite for herpes. L-Lysine tabs, 2 - 500 mg
tabs q 3-4 hours for adults. Use 1 or 2 -325 mg tabs for kids. Also I
have list of foods that are high in L-Lysine. We have used this amino acid
in our herpes prone family for over 20 years since first reading about it
in the lay medical journals (Parade Magazine and Sat Eve Post!). I swear
by it for fever sores. Helps with other sites, also helps with Shingles.
Yes it is a life long infection that resurfaces from time to time with
illness, fever, stress or too much arginine in the diet. (I have a list of
high arginine foods too). I avoid high arginine foods or pop an extra
L-Lysine or 2 to cover indulgence of high arginine foods. Sincerely, Pat
in SNJ
