COLD SORES
& CFIDS
I hate cold
sores!!! I've been getting them all of my adult life - first
around the lips and then on my nose! Aaarggh!!!!! They are huge and
ugly! I usually get
them from too much stress, getting run down, too much sunshine, or when battling
a viral illness. I have
tried many remedies without success--
L-Lysine
Zovirax Ointment
Nail Polish Remover
Hydrogen Peroxide
Rubbing Alcohol
Ice Cube
Blow Dryer
Zinc
Tetrasil Ointment
Carmex
Tetrasil
Witch Hazel
Listerine
Trilex
Toothpaste
Essential oils (evidently not the right ones)
What always helps is taking large doses of Acyclovir (an anti-viral medication that's bad for your kidneys) when you first feel the "tingle." Fortunately, since 2009 I have been able to pretty much AVOID cold sore outbreaks by using this protocol--
works
fantastically for me 98% of the time! You put stabilized liquid
oxygen drops in your drinking water to alkalize and oxygenate your
system, and apply DMSO cream (rose-scented) topically.
I recommend getting the book too, which explains how everything works. (The oxygen drops, DMSO cream
and book are in a reduced-price package.)
Very interestingly - since August 2009 when I began using the oxygen drops in my water, my FMS brain fog and CFIDS debilitating exhaustion have disappeared! I am able to live a relatively normal life now. (See the links below to read my fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue stories.) If you decide to try the drops, start with just 1 or 2 drops in at least 8 oz. of water 3 times a day. Do not start with as much as what is listed on the bottle to avoid a detox reaction.
Should a small cold sore still try to
get started, I use H-Balm Extra Strength topically (a powerful essential oil blend) and it dries it up quickly. If a cold sore gets infected, my doc prescribed Bacitracin
Zinc Ointment USP and it works great!
I also found that I
can't have any walnuts (too much arginine?) and I do better
when I greatly limit chocolate,
peanuts and citrus, keep
stress levels down, and stay out of strong
sunlight.
I hope some of this information has been helpful if you suffer from cold sores too.
