Thank you all, especially Adrian, for sharing some information. Here is what I can share.

I have HSV-1. There was a time when I had health insurance. So, I went to the doctors and they prescribed Acyclovir. The pills were effective if I took them in time. But the virus got smart and started to activate itself when I slept at night and it had plenty of time (6 hours or more) to do damage by the time I woke up. So when I took the pills then, all it did was to reduce the size of the outbreaks. Very rarely the pills prevented it. The same thing happened with Abreva and all the other overpriced and useless OTC junk.

But I lost my job and my health insurance and there was no way I could afford Acyclovir which cost almost half as much as my rent. Then, I did some research and found out that “Vitamin B12 with Brewer’s yeats” by Solgar, has proven effective for SOME people. I took the pills every day(6 each day and it is recommended that you should not take more) and for 16 months I did not have any outbreaks. But after 16 months, for some reason, the virus adapted and the pills lost their effectiveness.

Then, I did some mor research and I found out that BHT pills have shown effectiveness for SOME people. I started taking them (1000 mg each day and it is absolutely recommended that you must not take more because research shows it WILL cause cancer for more dosage per day). This time I did not have any outbreaks for 14 months, but then again the virus adapted and came back with the same viciousness.

I did some more research and have been using the Zinc Sulfate Topical Cream by Kirkman for the past two months (keep in mind that I get the cold sores every week). The cream is VERY VERY potent and thin layers of it over the “tinggling” spot has proven effective for me. So, I feel the tinggling, I see the blister coming on from underneath my skin, and then I start applying thin layers of the cream to the area ever hour or two at the time, and the result has been that the virus flees very quickly and never causes any outbreaks. But timing is the key here. When I’m late, the virus causes the outbreak anyway.

I am excited about Adrian’s advice above and I am going to try high dosage Vit. C treatment and see what happens. Man, the blisters are really embarrassing. I hope we can find a permanat cure soon.

just reading up on some new hsv cure research drug - phase 1 clinical trials in the UK approved 8/2008. Company is USA headquatered called BioVex - drug called immunoVEX. - do all you can to support HSV cure research, letters to congress, donations, etc. - spread the word…no pun intended!

I have had HSV since I was a little boy so I have suffered for 25 years. I caught it from sharing my brothers chapstick. When an outbreak appears I usually go into hiding for a week. It seems that my life is controled by this horible virus. If I had one wish it would be that I could be cold sore free. We need to find a cure. Does anyone know where a person can find more info abouth the research being done as stated above.

I am 46 years old and caught HSV2 (genital herpes) when i was twenty one, for about fifteen years i had regular outbreaks which were very depressing , then i changed my diet to include a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables and during my last outbreak around six years ago i took 5000mg of Vit C per day , the outbreak was worse than usual but i have never had a recurrance since that day. I am sure that sufferers of this embarrassing condition would do themselves no harm in trying to improve their diet and their immune system , and perhaps try the high dose Vit C until the magic bullet is found.

Honestly, I’ve felt there is a lack of info for people suffering from HSV, and this is a great leap foward. I can see a cure coming out withing 5 years, curing everyone of herpes. This could practically wipe out herpes since theres no way for immunity to happen, since they are basically telling the virus to wake up with its own proteins. Then they punch it in the face, hard.
