Question:
I contracted Herpes when I was 17 years old. (I'm now 34)The Docs put me on Zovirax. It worked for while then the virus mutated and it didn't work any longer. I started doing tons of research on natural remedies and came up with some things that were able to supress the virus.

100% whey protien (orderd through NutriHarmony) with four multivitamins (aslo through NutriHarmony), two 500 mg of Lysine, proper rest, exercise and no stress. This formula would keep the virus at bay.

Recently, due to excessive travel, I went off my routine and I had the worst outbreak I've ever had. My entire lower lip was blisterd, had a rash, and was extremely painful. This MOTIVATED me to do some more research and figure out how to get rid of this Monster.

A couple of people posted about HBOT. This caused me to research more on oxygen. A simple scientific fact is that any virus, including cancer, cannot survive in a highly oxygenated environment.

I pulled out of the cubboard 3% hydrogen peroxide and put it directly on my sores. This stung LIKE CRAZY, but immediately I could feel the oxygen going to work on the virus. I started to scab over much more quickly and now I'm on my third day of the outbreak and I'm already at the full scabbed over stage.

I went to the store and bought Oxylife zero to sixty. This product is in pill form but it is 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide. I'm taking two pills three times a day to increase the oxygen level in my blood stream. As of right now I'm healing faster than I ever have, plus I think I'm actually killing some of the virus.

I'll keep you posted on how I'm doing...needless to say I think oxygen is one of the keys to not only supressing the virus but KILLING it.

I've included an article on hydrogen peroxide in case you are interested in reading more.

Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your info!! Thank you!

I decided to stay in this forum, because I read Richard's first article.

When I first read about oxygen thing in his article, I was thrilled. And Rich's second one, then other person posted about HBOT, ... now you.

I love this forum, because it's different from many other groups or forums. Yes, Valtrex are really working for many people. But if we stop there, we are gonna be stuck there.
What we truly want is a -complete- cure. We should keep the hope alive and keep questing.

In this forum, people don't get scared of saying innovative thing. ( and thanks Rich, I think your post's got a lot to do with it ) That's the uniqueness I found in this forum.
And I -believe-, that is the only way for finding complete cure.

Anyway...
I just wanted to thank you.

Faith,

I've benefited from this forum, and felt I should post what I was doing, just to share the information. I agree, Richard's post was critical to my new line of thinking regarding attacking the virus. It makes logical sense.

I don't believe the Medical system has our best at heart. They are too willing to perscribe pills without really thinking the problem through.

I'm convinced that if enough of us put our heads together we can find a cure for this lousy disease, and as I said earlier I think the key lies within using oxygen.

The immune system is an amazing defense against disease and we need to do everything we can to enhance the bodies natural functions to help it do what it does best.

I'd be interested to know if Richard has come across any other research regarding oxygen besides HBOT treatments.

Thanks for you encouragement Faith.

Answer:

Medical system only treats each symptom. It doesn't treat you as a whole person.
If we don't cure completely by getting rid of the source of the sickness, it's only beneficial for pharmaceutical companies and doctors.

I'm convinced that if enough of us put our heads together we can find a cure for this lousy disease, and as I said earlier I think the key lies within using oxygen. Yup. Agreed.
And our (patients') voices will do it, too. Think about it.. if all the HSV patients in the world starts asking for "the complete cure" loudly....

I'd be interested to know if Richard has come across any other research regarding oxygen besides HBOT treatments. I think Rich has been busy making his contribution for drug abuse issue. I doubt if he has enough time for further research of oxygen therapy... cuz I think what he's doing is very important thing, too, and it takes so much of his time and energy. He's still here helping us though...
But he made the first move here. And it was huge! We shouldn't waste that. I saw that ideas are disregarded in other forums just because many people feel that it's not realistic. But.. every thought has potential to be realized and materialized. I don't wanna kill any of those possibilities.

Thanks again, Motivated.
I felt energy by reading you.
I'm trying to do things that I can do, too...

Answer:
Thanks guys: Motivated & Faith always a pleasure hearing from you... I do try to help the best I can... And as Faith said I am busy writing a new article about GateWay Drugs... I wrote something interesting in response to Motivated's article about pharmaceutical companies... It's something I can see myself setting up sometime soon... I'm even thinking of building a website about it soon... I can handle all the business arrangements.. Even though I don't have herpes I do feel your pains, and I do consider myself one of you... I dont have time right now for anymore research on treatement, school is fucking me for time, working out is taking alot of my time, like 3 hours everyday, and I am currently working on an e-business website in Europe with my cuz... I am seriously thinking about building a website preseance for Private HSV Research sponsered by the ppl who care most, us... I will be posting the article on Gateway in the next 2 months... THANKS AGAIN GUYS

Rich

Answer:
Both Richard and Faith are amazing. I came in as a guest about a week ago very discouraged, read Richard's article (amazed that he spent so much time on it since he is not carrying the virus) and Faith helped me out a lot by replying to my messages.

Thanks guys!

Let us all know what you end up doing Richard, if you decide to do that company. We NEED a cure!!!!!

Also- I will be a guinea pig, etc on any making of a cure. It could kill me and I would be happy to be involved because it could help others in my situation. So does anyone need a guinea pig???? LOL

Answer:
And thank YOU lovely. :D

Your kind words add meaning to my life...

Answer:
Hello out there-
I will start my saying this forum is wonderful....my local support group is only concerned about going on field trips and dinners and attracts alot of trash talking people. Everyone there seems resigned to the fact that there is no cure, never will be, and who offers to best anti-virals.
I too have read some of Richard's articles on the stabilized oxygen theory. Let me provide you some of my background first.
I suffer from both HSV1 and HSV2. I can only believe that I acquired this very early on in my life, as I became sexually acitve, in 1979. I am now 44 year old. It's funny, because it really wasn't until 1995 that I realized just what I had....that is how subtle this virus is. Having come from an upper-middle class family, the best in private school education, etc. my parents never, never provided me sex education, nor did the school I went to. Back in the 70's, this was probably considered taboo. My life was fun and free as I began "experimenting." No questions asked. No knowledge known. In 1984 I returned from a ski vacation in CO and came home with a huge orange water filled blister cluster outside my left corner of my mouth. That prompted me to go to my dermotologist who immediately diagnosed HSV1, wrote me a script for famvir, gave me no info on the disease, and I left his office uneducated, unconcerned and went about my life. I got married in 1985 and everything was great. Sex was not an issue....I was happily married. All the while, I am having outbreaks and wasn't aware of what it was, nor did I care. In January 1995, pregnant with my second daughter, my OB diagnosed HSV2 from a very small blister on my vagina. He said I can start medicine after the baby is born ....no sweat. I still thought, at age 36, this was to be overcome, but after researching the topic, thanks to the internet, I soon came to learn this was not so simple a cure. In fact, there was none. I was devasted. I then realized what I had in 1984 was the same thing. My baby came in August (which I demanded a c-section....my first daughter born in 1992 was c-section only because she was breach) and by then, I was in a severe depression. Today, after several anti-depressants, several anti-viral drugs, and now daily on 1G Valtrex, I am too smart to say to myself, this is the way it has to be. I am still badly depressed, I believe I passed HSV1 to my younger daugher, as she gets sores inside her mouth, and my marriage is shaky to say the least. This is such a senseless condition, one which personnally, I would have been better off just not ever being diagnosed. The Valtrex is wonderful in that I have no more symptons, other than persistent pimples on my butt. I am not sure if that is related or not, as it is not consistent with what I understand the way the virus acts. This virus, by the way, acts in different ways, with different pain thresholds, with everyone who has it. And oh, by the way, most of us have it in some form or another. Now, I see people at work all the time walking around with blisters on their mouth, I see children with them on their mouth.....and I think to myself, do they know what they have??? You get it, and your whole family will eventually get it. Why, I have a picture of myself coming home from the hospital with my first daughter, with a cold sore on that same corner of my mouth and I had actually forgotten it was HSV1. I simply didn't care.
Well, as you can probabaly tell, I just can't believe that these researchers haven't come up with something to wipe this out. There is the oxygen, stem cell, the I3C compound in vegtables, and least we not forget, there are other countries that probabaly have some cure results already that the USA cannot agree to release.
You cannot even kiss someone without taking on the risk of the virus being transmitted on their lip and not knowing it. Some counselors I have e-mailed on the topic say to me "this doesn't change you as a person...you're still the same you...." Well, YES IT DOES CHANGE ME AND IT HAS!! As for thoughts on myself....I feel humiliated, disgusted, dirty, sluty, sad, used. I don't even know who gave me these 2 HSVs. All the money I have spent, the emotional pain, the time wasted worrying, the constant depression, etc, etc, etc. Other than taking the Valtrex, a multi-vitamen and eating a floweret of broccoli daily (contains I3C compound to thwart the virus from reproducing , I do not take care of myself. I have never had a mamogram, I never see my Internest, and until I get cancer, I won't know just how senseless this HSV really is. At least then I can tell people I have cancer so they can feel sorry for me for that.
Well, Merry Christmas.

Answer:
At least then I can tell people I have cancer so they can feel sorry for me for that.
Well, Merry Christmas. You know, you just quoted me - I said the same thing to a friend a couple of weeks ago. Sad, isn't it? But I can tell you, I watched my father die from cancer. I quickly apologised for that statement - I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, but it doesn't take away the hopelessness we sometimes feel. I too have a daughter I am frightened to give this too, however I am lucky in the fact that I don't have HS orally. I am also on on valtrex, anti-depressants, and get those pimples on my butt! (I think those pimples are unrelated, at least my doctor told me so)

I read your post thinking how similar we are, and hope that my post lets you know how alone you're not!

Merry Cristmas to you. I hope the new year brings you some peace.

"The best thing you can give your children is a happy mom...." I was told that last year - it brings me some strength. Best wishes.
