Try essential oil of bergamot. Do not use before exposure to ultravilet light, i.e sunbathing.
One drop directly oonto the affected area sveveral times a day works wonders for me.

Well, that is wrong. Traditional Homeopathy can ‘cure’ herpes, as I have
stated here several times before. And there are certainly excellent herbals
that will symptom manage this condition as effectively as Zovirax.
The problem with them is that you have to take responsibility for the factors
in your lifestyle which bring on your attacks! How inconvenient! But that is
the way these alternatives work–they are specifically _NOT_ powerful
suppressive drugs that require nothing but a willingness to subtly damage
your health. You have to rest, to eat, to not take stimulants to excess, to
treat and remove accumulated Heat–to seek out health balance in other words.
Zovirax is not that. It is not the cure that is lacking–it is the
application.

Hi Paul.
This has been my experiences. It is very difficult to control herpes outbreaks
– there are times that I find it very difficult to control stress and
overwork – but it possible to greatly diminish the severity and frequency of
outbreaks. There was one period of time that I went five years without an
outbreak and now and then I have a very mild one – much milder than what I use
to have. It is a shame that physicians have convinced some people that there
is no help, but for those who are not convinced there is plenty of evidence
that herpes can be controlled using the proper approaches. Traditional Chinese
Medicine (TCM) is certainly one of the most effective approaches since it
combines rest, diet, and very effective herbal formulas,

I can’t speak for its effectiveness, but Pearson and Shaw highly recommend BHT
for cold sores.

In all my years in the natural foods industry this has go to be the oddest
remedy I’ve ever heard of. However, odd does not mean ineffective.
Anyway, the therapies I have seen the best success with are:
-Echinacea regularly to increase the immune system’s viral defense capacity
-Lysine…topically or internally
-Zinc (be sure to take with food to reduse the incidence of nausea)
Hope it helps
Good Luck!!

The value of homeopathy in this case is exactly because it is less dependent
on lifestyle.

A very good answer, but the post was about how to reduce the discomfort
of cold sores, and since you already have the virus by the time the
first sore appears, I do not see how changing your lifestyle will
rid your body of the virus. Do you believe it can? My friend has
had good luck with Zilactin Medicated Gel, and not much else. Anyway,
I wish I had left out the ‘ivory throne’ business, but I get so
angry when some poor person writes this group looking for help, and
then receive condemnation of their lifestyle as an answer. It just
doesn’t seem to be much help.

Ya gotta consider that lifestyle plays a HUGE role in how the body can
respond to things like viral infections. If the body is well cared for
it can sometimes respond to a viral cycle without the person having the
usual symptoms that a person would experience if they had not taken
such good care of themselves. Naturally, this is not an absolute rule
to expect, but it is an overall concept worth giving validity. Many
people have had great success living with AIDS in this manner. Had
they decided to just give in to the disease and live a relatively more
destructive lifestyle, they certainly would not have had so great of
the success. The whole idea is really rather radical in the face of
what we label traditional medicine. The body is not a static object. It
responds to a plethora of subtleties in its environment and each response
is closely tied into how the body is responding to rest of environment.
Well, that’s enough philosophy for now…..

I have used the word ‘crap’ exactly twice, both times in reference to Paul
Mason’s War of the Worlds Magnesium Cardio-death Emergency Scenario. No one
yet has blamed everything on lifestyle, but there is a decided prejudice in
Western conventional medicine toward drug cures rather than fully-responsible
lives. Thus, until recently, you could just continue smoking and sitting on
your ass, cause the insulin would handle your diabetes.
Treatments that focus on lifestyle change, such as those used by many, many
AIDS patients in care of East-Asian Traditional Healing, prolong life _and
improve quality of life_, something AZT will not do I guarantee.

Has anyone ever tried Campho-Phenique? I get cold sores (on my lip) as a
stress reaction and C-P makes them disappear almost overnite. I have had
(ha-ha) Herpes and after the doctor I was seeing in Germany used
Castellani’s Paint on the sores, I used C-P as an alternative when I
could no longer see him. Works just fine.
YMMV, obviously.

That is not what the original reply to that poster said. Both traditional
homeopathy (curative) and East-Asian Traditional Healing (symptom management)
can treat herpes. There are suppressive drugs, but they don’t belong here but
in sci.med somewhere. There are also treatments on the alternative side
(Zovirax), which would be contraindicated according to ETH, and I speak
against them from that standpoint.
In addition to the therapy, ETH requires lifestyle modification, which
doesn’t ‘rid your body of the virus’ but does function as an aid to effective
symptom management. I do not believe that homeopathy requires much lifestyle
management in general, other than the avoidance of coffee and sufficient
rest, but Bernie’s point is still valid as to avoiding heart disease and
cancer. Do you deny that lifestyle helps prevent heart disease? I hope not.

Practically everyone has been infected with the virus which causes
cold sores. The virus manifests itself when the patient’s defenses are
low due to overwork, stress, or some other factor. Treating cold sores
as a sign of low energy level and making the appropriate lifestyle
modifications is an important, although not always a sufficient
approach the the problem.

The position sometimes taken by homeopaths is that homeopathic
treatment will make it easier fo make the necessary lifestyle
adjustment. That is, the person is not only ill becuase of poor
lifestyle, but has poor lifestyle because of their illness, and as the
illness is resolved, the lifestyle will change. For what its worth, my
homeopathic doctor advised me to change my diet and I am now on the
McDougall diet.

A treatment I have used with success is to apply 1 drop of geranium essentail oil directly to the impending cold sore. This will not prevent them but it does signicantly reduce the symptoms.

> the center and it hurts. Are those cold sore?
I’ve never had them (as I recall) on the inside of the mouth. They
usually appear at the edge of the external lip, or in the moustache
area. Early on, they itch like hell, and I feel like I can actually feel
the nerve squirming around under the skin (a la’ Alien+). A day later,
almost overnight, I have a large bump (for the area) that looks sort of
like a wart. Slightly hard, but tender to the touch, even painful.
If I’m alert and have C-P to apply immediately, the bump will dry up and
actually come off like any scab or scrape. And that’s its, its gone.
The worst (in length of time) is 48 hours + up to 72 hours. I’ve never
had one last longer than that if I apply C-P; usually less, <24-36 hours.
After reading the lengthy material regarding Dr. Griffith’s research in
the
Saturday Evening Post – I started using L-Lysine supplements. Works
great!
One cheap, easy, wholesome alternative is the amino acid
Lysine. Probably a better preventative then cure, but it
will lessen the intesity of an attack. I would suggest
1/2 gram to 1 gram a day as a preventative.

LOTSA L-lysine and LOTSA garlic. Stay away from foods containing a high ratio
of L-Arganine(sp) to L-lysine (unfortunate for we vegetarians who get lots of
protien from these seeds and nuts). An MD friend of mine who also practices
alternative med. (hooray!!), recommended this combination to a friend. I don’t
remember specific dosages but could ask again if there’s an interest. Pls email
if you wish.
I’ve done some research on the canker .vs. coldsore/herpes. As best I can gleen
from conversations with MDs and reading material, they’re one and the same.
Anybody else have input?

hi…anyone have insight into cause of hand tremors that i’ve had for
several months (persist even when i give up caffeine; often worse in AM).
my MD is unconcerned altho re-checking my thyroid med (no other
overmedicated symptoms). i also have been having increasing migraine
(1-2X/month) but seems unrelated?? had MRI 18 months ago for other issue
and was clean. my father also had tremors for years with no related
problem, altho he had other health problems (polio as child, etc.). i am
36, in general good health, had grand mal seizure as child, cause never
found, EEG’s abnormal, no seizures or med for 25+ years.
