Herpes viruses stay in your body for your entire lifetime. Herpes natural treatments are helpful. However, there is no way to get rid of these viruses. The problem is that everyone has one or more types of viruses from the herpes family. They may or may not cause the common skin infections that are associated with herpes. However, they will all lead to internal damage over time.
Prescription drugs for herpes treatment are not a good answer for controlling herpes. These drugs have a wide variety of side effects, including hepatitis, kidney failure, and shock. They also suppress your immune system. Dietary modifications and natural substances offer benefits without the side effects. Natural approaches help with prevention and with active outbreaks. The most commonly used supplements are lysine, vitamin C, zinc, vitamin E, adenosine monophosphate, and lemon balm (Melissa officinalis).
Getting lysine can be as simple as eating high-lysine foods. This dietary approach is even more helpful when the high-lysine foods are also relatively low in arginine. Arginine seems to undermine the effects of lysine and to make outbreaks worse in general. You may also take lysine supplements, which are available at most nutrition stores.
Here is what scientific research has to say about lysine vs. herpes. Notice that not all of the research agrees with the usefulness of lysine against herpes. See the examples below of what scientists have said on this topic:
1. From the journal 'Herpes' in 2005: Concluded that there are insufficient clinical data on six commonly used natural treatments for genital herpes, including lysine, to support claims of efficacy and safety of any of these supplements.
2. From the journal 'Chemotherapy' in 1981: Found that arginine deficiency suppresses viral reproduction and that lysine had an opposite effect by antagonizing the viral growth-promoting action of arginine.
3. From the journal 'Dermatologica' in 1978: Patients who had frequent recurring herpes infections had fewer recurrences when taking up to 1,200 mg of lysine daily. This article also confirmed, in lab experiments, that lysine suppresses viral replication while arginine enhances it.
4. From the journal 'Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy' in 1983: In an experiment with 1,543 subjects, an average daily dose of 936 mg of lysine reduced the recurrence and frequency of herpes infections in 84% of the people by the end of a six-month trial.
How to Get a High-Lysine Diet
The simplest step for benefiting from more lysine in your diet is to eat foods that have the highest lysine content and the lowest arginine content. Both of these common amino acids, however, occur in all of the proteins in every food that you eat. You must, therefore, select those foods with the greatest lysine to arginine ratio. The top foods to eat, with the highest lysine-arginine ratio, are cheeses and other cultured dairy products. The bottom of the list, meaning foods with the lowest lysine-arginine ratio, include most nuts and certain fruit juices.
Of course, you can magnify the benefits of dietary lysine by supplementing with about 1,000 mg of lysine daily. This is especially helpful if you have frequent or long-lasting outbreaks.
