Herpes Warning
Herpes is Cold Sores, Shingles, Chicken Pox and Genital Herpes.

According to the International Herpes Resource Centre oral sex is the key reason for the current herpes epidemic. This is a touchy subject and I have found that even the word herpes has a big stigma attached to it. We have to get rid of this stigma considering that over 1/3 of North Americans have herpes. In Canada 7 million have the disease and over 1 million between the ages of 15 to 19. Worse yet, over 80 percent of those infected do not know they have it because they lack the usual signs, painful or itchy rash, angry looking blisters or bumps in the genital area, thighs, buttocks or the face. And what that means is you can unknowingly pass it on to your partner. The Centre states that if you have oral herpes commonly called cold sores and you have oral sex you can transfer it to the genitals and if you have genital herpes you can give your partner facial herpes.

There are several types of herpes virus. Herpes Simplex (HSV) is responsible for a recurrent viral infection that causes outbreaks on any area of the body, particularly the mouth or genitals. Type 1 herpes (HSV-1) usually causes cold sores while type 2 herpes (HSV-2) causes genital herpes. Herpes Zoster causes chicken pox and shingles. Herpes outbreaks usually appear as single or multiple clusters of small fluid-filled blisters. These blisters then burst leaving painful ulcers that can take weeks to heal. After the first outbreak the virus becomes dormant, hiding from our immune system, waiting for another opportunity to erupt. Emotional, physical, environmental or nutritional stress can reactivate the virus, causing another outbreak. Over sixty percent of those infected with herpes will have reoccurring outbreaks. While one person may only have one or two outbreaks per year, others are plagued several times per month by this infectious, painful and sometimes dangerous virus.

Amazing Herpes Treatment

As my readers know I am always searching for unique, research-backed ingredients that work. I came across a company that was doing work with water purification, cancer and herpes using a novel ingredient. This ingredient called PH+100 is a potent antiviral made from several acids. PH+100 does not burn your skin as it is manufactured under a special patent making it safe and non-corrosive. The University of Texas at the Houston Health Science Center tested PH +100 for its action on two forms of herpes simplex, type 1 and type 2. They found that PH+100 inactivated 100 percent of both herpes viruses within 10 minutes at a concentration of 0.1 percent PH+100. The viruses tested were the two known for extreme resistance and sensitivity to inactivation and PH+100 worked very quickly to inactivate them.

A comparative study of the clinical evaluation of PH+100 and Acyclovir (a prescription drug for herpes) in the treatment and disappearance of herpes was performed by Dr. Marcos Cruz in Venezuela. He studied 95 men and 35 women with type 1 and type 2 herpes simplex. They divided the patients into two groups one group receiving PH+100 and the other Acylcovir. Initially patients stopped using any medications for herpes except for the application of ice when the sores appeared. Inflammation, the size and number of the sores, the amount of fluid that was released from the sores, pain and itching were examined. The results of the treatment group showed that within 24 hours over 65 percent of the treatment group receiving PH+100 had dramatic relief of all symptoms. Within 48 hours 80 percent of PH+100 users had relief with sores shrinking, pain relief and healing of sores. Less than 10 percent in the Acyclovir group had relief. Both studies found that PH+100 is safe and outside of a bit of itching when first applied no side effects were reported. Use PH+100 as a natural lubricating lip ointment for prevention too.

PH+100 is found in HerpeSenseTM. Use at the first sign of an outbreak throughout the day for relief from pain and swelling. Also apply once or twice daily to prevent outbreaks. It works fast and can be used on shingles, chicken pox, cold sores and genital herpes. It is incredibly soothing, stops the pain associated with shingles and you can virtually watch the blisters dry up. The cream works!

Severe or longstanding skin disorders often require the expertise of a professional homeopath, yet there are some that you can treat at home with success.

Cold sores, genital herpes and shingles are all treatable with homeopathy. The appearance of the herpes outbreak and the factors that modify it will determine the choice of remedy.

For example, homeopathic Rhus tox is indicated for small, inflamed blisters filled with yellowish watery fluid. These blisters are intensely itchy and burning.

Homeopathic Arsenicum is indicated when the burning sensation of the blisters is made better by applying heat.

Herpes blisters that are painfully sensitive to touch and cold applications may respond to homeopathic Hepar sulph.

When they appear on the lips like pearls and are filled with clear liquid, the remedy Natrum muriaticum is indicated. For best results, give the remedy at the first signs of eruption and repeat every four hours.

For homeopaths, there is no mystery about the connection between internal diseases and skin problems. To really cure, avoid suppression. Treat from the inside out.
