Question:
Hi. I found a few things that are really helping me so far. I encourage you to look these up on the search engine and see what it says about herpes with these suppliments. First is Kelp. Kelp is a demulcent and is said to "destroy"herpes. Next is Flax seed oil which is an omega 3 suppliment that treats all kinds of things and is anti-viral. Next is Coconut. Coconut meat cooked, coconut milk, and especially coconut oil. I just researched about the coconut today, and am excited since I'm having good luck with the kelp and the flax oil. You need to take the oil in the liquid, for the full benefit. Mix it with cottage cheese.
Also, I've been consuming things that are said to be anti-viral such as
pineapple. Hope this helps...

Answer:
For anyone reading this, I did not mean to imply that Kelp permanantly destroys herpes. But I do believe it helps prevent OB's. The product company that repied to my email seemed to imply there was a simply "hype" in the suppliments I suggested. I researched on the benefits of kelp, flaxseed, and coconut. Not product promotionals.
Perhaps the product the last poster is promoting is great. I just wanted to share some real natural approaches that are working great for me, and won't cost you a fortune. Coconut is good cooked, as a cooking oil, or milk. Here's a little more on it:

Coconut can help with the following:

Circulation Hypertension

Hormones
Hypothyroidism

Immunity
AIDS Lauric acid from coconut oil, coconut milk and fresh or cooked coconut meat, at 24gm daily for adults, may be an effective aid in the destruction of lipid-enveloped viruses such as HIV, HHV-6 (strains A and B), EBV, CMV and herpes. This treatment may be used continuously as viral resistance or immune system adaption is not expected to develop.

Chronic Fatigue / Fibromyalgia Syndrome
Weakened Immune System

Problems Caused By Being Underweight Coconut oil consumption may encourage weight gain if you are underweight, but it can also encourage weight loss in obesity, possibly due to an increase in metabolic rate.

-Kelp (laminaria), the most prolific sea plant on America?s shores, contains vitamins A, B, E, D and K, is a main source of vitamin C, and rich in minerals. Kelp proteins are comparable in quality to animal proteins. Kelp contains sodium alginate (algin), an element that helps remove radioactive particles and heavy metals from the body. Algin, carrageenan and agar arekelp gels that rejuvenate gastrointestinal health and aid digestion. Kelp works as a blood purifier, relieves arthritis stiffness, and promotes adrenal, pituitary and thyroid health. Its natural iodine can normalize thyroid-related disorders like overweight and lymph system congestion. It is a demulcent that helps eliminate herpes outbreaks. Kelp is rich??a little goes a long way.

Hi Layla.
I've been following this post and think it's stupid. Just ignore that dude.
It's pretty obvious that for whatever reason he's promoting that stuff. I looked at some of his other posts and they're all about that Laretta whatever. He didn't have any posts about his OB"s or struggles.
Seriously, don't reply to anything else he says. I'm sure he'll love me for this. 8)
Anywho, I think it's a cool idea use anti-viral foods as a preventive. Everyone knows fruit and veg's are good, but I never heard of them being anti-viral.
You mentioned pineapple and coconut, any others you've heard about?
Thanks for passing on your suggestions!
Damon

Answer:
Mack

Can you share exactly what you do/take to suppess your OB's. I would like to get off of the acyclovir as I hate taking medicine. But I am affraid that it will just get out of control. Any suggestions would be awesome!!!

Thanks
Jessalyn

Answer:
I'll probably regret jumping in on this discussion, but I use the Larrea and it has been the ONLY thing that has worked for me, and believe me, I have spent hundreds of dollars on "remedies" that are supposedly 99.9% effective. The larrea has been a miracle for me.

I was just reading that aspirin is effective in preventing outbreaks. Anyone try it?

Hi Layla,

I think we should be avoiding coconut like the plague. It's high in Argirine. the opposite of Lysine...

It's listed as one of the foods to avoid in this very website under diet column.
