Genital Herpes

Genital outbreaks can be triggered by:

• stress on the body
• menstruation
• pregnancy
• excessive drinking
• sunburn
• suppressed immune system
• fatigue
• certain foods (anything rich in arginine)
• other illnesses

Take care of the affected skin area by keeping it clean and dry during outbreaks to help healing.

Take a warm bath. Add baking soda to help reduce itching and pain.

Keep genital area dry and clean.

Avoid physical contact with the affected area from the time the skin starts tingling, itching or burning until all sores get completely healed and not just scabbed-over.

Always wash your hands with soap and water, if you happen to touch a sore.

Avoid diet products containing the synthetic sweeteners of any kind. This ingredient is known to trigger outbreak.

Avoid having sex until blisters have completely healed.

Treat the blisters topically. Dab tea tree oil, a natural antiseptic, at either full or half strength directly on them several times a day.

Increase the intake of diet high in lysine and low in arginine. This means, eat more fish, chicken, beef, lamb, cheese, beans, brewer’s yeast and most fruits and vegetables, and avoid milk, chocolate, coconut, oats, whole wheat, white flour, peanuts, corn, peanuts, soybeans and wheat germ.

Stress is a known contributor to frequent outbreaks. So, adopting meditations, acceptance, love, peace and lots of rest and relaxation are major contributors in permanent healing.

Start taking the following supplements on daily basis – preferably divided into two doses, one at night and one in the morning:

Multivitamin (2/day). The good brands in the market are “Progressive capsules” or “Platinum gel caps”

Vitamin C 1000 mg capsules 6/day – the trusted brands in the market are “Now”, “Progressive”, and “Natural Factors”.

Vitamin B-Complex 50 mg capsules 2/day – the trusted brand is “Flora” and “Natural Factors”

Calcium/Magnesium 500mg 2:1 ratio capsules  - The trusted brand is “Progressive” and my own brand “Perfect CalMag”.

L-Lysine 500 mg capsules 4/day – the trusted brand is “Natural Factors”.

Combining the emotional, spiritual and nutritional healing will see to quick recovery.  But please be dedicated to the process.  If at the beginning symptoms worsen, that is normal.
