There is a natural treatment for herpes. i have genital herpes and I will explain to you how i keep it under control with natural remedies: First, I take the supplement LYSINE (an amino acid). I take about 1,000 to 1,500mg a day. I notice that I get best response from a medium to high grade brand. I tried the cheap grocery store brand of lysine and my body did not respond as well as the better brand. Twin-labs co. makes a decent affordable lysine supplement. The daily supplement takes care of the internal aspect of herpes( it basically helps get rid of the blisters before they form on your genitals). Another thing about lysine is that the amino acid Arginine cancels out lysine in your body. For instance, I do not eat much red meat, so I eat a lot of chicken and fish( which is high in arginine ). So to be sure that I don't get an outbreak, I take approx. 2,000 mg of lysine daily. When I adhere to this regimen, I RARELY get outbreaks! Only times I've gotten outbreaks was when I was stressed out with life changing situations (extreme stress will deplete the lysine in your body).

EXTERNAL TREATMENT FOR GENITAL HERPES: Several companies make topical lysine ointments. They are available through most health food stores or natural food or vitamin shops. Quantum makes a great ointment called SUPER LYSINE PLUS. It contains lysine, golden seal in a beeswax base- it works GREAT! There have been a couple times that my funds were limited and the store I went to was out of the topical compound and I went ahead and bought a alcohol based lysine/Reishi mushroom extract. To my surprise this extract worked GREAT both topically(although it does sting a little!)and internally. I am not a dr. or anything like that. I am just a Native American with a little experience with herpes and natural remedies.

Please be advised, to date, there is no known CURE for herpes. Once the virus is in your system you can only treat the symptoms and work to boost the immune system in order to control the out breaks.
