BTW..here is a link to one site offering a permanent cure…Apparently they don’t target the virus rather build up the immune system in a way that it terminates the virus… Has any one tried similar medications claiming to offer permanent cure?

So does that mean these few sites that offer a permanent cure are all load of Sh!t since every comment states there is no permanent cure? I am so angry that I have found out that I am infected that I am very temped to just try this so called “cures”…It certainly is better than trying to prevent the attacks.

amazing news that finally a cure is on the way. i have always been scared to have a relationship for fear of spreading my cold sores and also fear of them seeing me with an ugly sore on my lip. whenever i get too stressed or lack of sleep they have never failed to show up. i basically do all i can to hide in my room until its gone. what a relief it would be to know i could never have a cold sore again. it would be so great. im hoping for a cure.

I’ve just found out I have the virus and it makes me suicidal. Not only is it an embarrassing stigma, but it also may improve the chances to get HIV.
My life was going so well and this torn my world apart.
More effort should be put into CURING it, not preventing and supressing it!!

Dealt with hsv1 for over 40 years — here is what I know

(S)un exposure is bad (for many reasons)
(S)tress is bad all around not just in the case of hsv …. OverthinkING things does NOT HELP
(S)leep on a regular schedule…. seriously this is very important!!

my history
1-10 — monthly outbreaks
teens I never had one — ever — I call those the golden years
20’s 3-5 outbreaks a year
30’s once or twice a year
40’s 1 so far (im 42)

Ive gone as many as 8 years without a visible sign —- currently been 14 months and I know >MY< triggers well......traveling internationally andresults in poor sleep + stress.... and when it happens now it still takes a week or so but the visible signs are minimal im convinced because ive learned to relax , sleep, live life ----- ive not had a cluster event in >10 years

a cure would be awesome but letting this beat us down gives it more power than it deserves

p.s.. im not a fan of loading up on anything (l-lysine, vitamin c etc.) as I think the impacts on the kidneys are worse than a cosmetic flaw (for me) and the people I know who have tried those methods get real bad occurences when they stop (or so it seems)

I am male, 20 this year, i tested positive for hsv1. For how i got it i don’t know i had a brief sexual exposure of unprotected oral (reciever).
Alot people say you will only get infected if you have touches the infected blister fluid. But mine is orally and how do i get it, i don’t know. =(
I am 100% sure my mouth did not touch any part of the girl. I have a girlfriend now and i’m very worried i might transmit to her.

So far, today is my first outbreak no blister yet but have the feeling of it beside my lips.
How often does this outbreak occur? I really dun wanna have it so frequent =(
I’m leaving in singapore and i barely saw anyone has outbreak, i dun wanna be the only one everyone will look at me and find me like a strange person with strange disease =(.

I’m praying hard for the cure to be out asap =(

Iam 58 and I kinda knew I had it from some outbreaks I had over the years,but I have not had one in at least six years. My first marriage before it ended is where I got it. I have been married 5 times and had other relatonships and never used protection,being ignorant of all the aspects of the virus.I only assumed that if I did not have a outbreak I was safe,like having a cold and not getting around my partner. I finally meet a great lady who I want to marry and we are engaged,with her I have used protection but she insisted I get tested simce it had been awhile. So I went to the doctor,and learned that there is a separate test for herpes and the doctor does not always run it when doing a std check.I was asked if I knew whether I had it and I said I think but its never been confirmed.So I now have it confirmed.Telling my fiance was the next step,as we never had talked about it,I was being safe? wrong thinking. She got tested and showed negative,but has to be retested in 6 weeks. She is mad and upset and now says she can never have sex with me again,as she is afraid of getting it.I feel like a leper and don’t know what to do,even educating her and me ,will not help her feel comfortable. I love so much and she says she loves me but love has nothing to do with it,she is concerned about her health, I told her if the situation was reversed it would not matter I would still want her.She ask me if I could do without sex for ever and be married to her, I said yes as long as she could and have her by my side for the rest of my life.The decision is hers now ,we committed to be with each other before all this came about and I have felt she has been waiting for that one thing that would derail it all,and now it has and I have told her I release her from her promise that this is a deal breaker. My heart is breaking and I prayed for a miracle,which is why I found this site hoping there is a cure on the horizon. So please God bring up a smart scientest to find a cure for all us.

hi all,
why don’t you try aloe vera and neem products. especially intake of handfull of fresh neem leaves daily in the morning empty stomach.
I am sure it will take a year or more but the disease will end forever.

I sure hope this is the breakthrough that we all are waiting for..For some of us,it’s like the Berlin wall coming down..We can’t get too excited just yet.They still need some more time on animal testing before they go on to humans. .With everyone wanting to give money donations,that is a very good idea.Until there is a real cure,practice good diet and plenty of rest and no stress !!! That is all u can really do at this point.Buying things over the internet is a waste of money and it’s just phony ..Good luck everyone!!!..I would love to finally see a cure .One less thing we all wouldn’t have to worry about.Life is hard enough.Finding a cure for herpes is like winning the lotto…

I’ve been infected with HSV-1 since I was born. From my understanding, my mother had chickenpox when I was still in the womb. I clearly remember horrible outbreaks as a child. I’m talking about disgracing blisters and puss and what not in between my upper lip and the base of my nostrils. It makes me feel a little better to know that there are others out there who suffer just as I. This stupid virus only erks me 3 to 5 times a year. When it does, it’s only a mild reaction. I try to wear a mustache as to help with the cosmetic side of my anxiety, but I feel embarrassed just knowing that little red knot is going to screw up the next two weeks of my life. Abreva is better than nothing, but one might describe it as a scam. I’m going to try the whole vitamin C nonsense and see if that works for preventing the little month-wreckers. A better diet would help most as well. DUKE, I’LL SEND YOU MONEY IF YOU ASK FOR IT!!!

PLEASE DESTROY THE HSV VIRUS! im 17 and it is extremelyyy depressing. I dont like leaving my house at all…or doing anything other then laying in bed because i feel so vulnerable. Jokes that are made on T.V. about herpes and cold sores seem to affect my self esteem about the issue.

CURE THE THE VIRUS!!

I have had genital herpes for the last twenty years and it is quite a depressing experience to say the least. Buying chopped licorice roots and making tea out of them has helped a bit by reducing the out breaks. I live in Asia, so buying licorice is inexpensive. Also, when I feel the prodromal symptoms coming on, I take 4 200 mg acyclovir tablets a day for two days, A couple of ibroprophen tablets, apply lemon juice to the skin area and take a few L-lysine tablets. This seems to have helped me abort about 90% of my outbreaks. Albeit, it does nothing to relieve my mind from depression. It is a very depressing disease to have…It makes one feel not free to go any where on the planet without having to need a bag a medicine.

A cure would be a godsend!!!
I hate cold sores and suffer frequently, worst still it mutates every few years so I have to keep finding new remedies … not that many left out there :o)
If you ever need a human guinea pig for your miracle cure – I am you’re girl!
Good luck
ps. I do find that having a flu vaccine every year helps reduce the number and severity of outbreaks.

I also got HSV1 from receiving oral sex. Oral to Genital. My first outbreak (on my butt) was typical and now it’s 6 months and I haven’t gotten anymore. Since HSV1 doesn’t like to live down south 40% of people never get another outbreak and most others have one or two outbreaks and then no more. Although you will always have it in your system so will 80-90% of the adult population. Those people that already have it are pretty imune to getting it again (nearly impossable). The hardest part is the social stigma and fear of passing it on which is kinda retarded since so many have it. Just now dealing with telling people but I think most will be cool and we can all be responsible and move on. Yeah it sucks but it won’t kill you like HIV. Here’s to a cure for not only this but lots of STD’s.

I am going to recommend this to everyone.

Take 2 tablets of red seal zinc, b6 and magnesium.

The ingredients are as follows per tablet:

9 mg zinc sulphate
30 mg magnesium oxide
25 mg vitamin b6 pyridoxine hydrochloride

Hope this works for those who read this zinc is the key as herpes does not like it.
