Question:
Found some good information about the immune system.

Astragalus, echinacea, Cat's claw, licorice, and Kudzu has had some promising results with preventing recurrences of HSV-1 and ocular keratitis.
Take 50 mg of zinc every day as well as vitamins A, C, E and selenium. Under no circumstance should you have sex during an outbreak, even with protection.
