Re: CS>Cold Sores

[Brooks Bradley]

Cold sores are caused by Herpes Simplex I (HVS-1), a virus which is present in a large portion of the human population. While quite vexing in some cases, it, alone, is not life threatening....nor a major health challenge in its principal presentations. The herpes family of viruses may be driven quiescent, temporarily, but are lifetime companions of the afflicted. This is typical of viruses in general. There are many treatments for acute outbreaks....most palliative in nature. One protocol we have found to be particularly effective is the employment of lysine (many use the ointment applied topically) taken at approximately 300 mg daily, together with the topical use of a lysine/DMSO solution. The favored (by us) solution strength is 20% DMSO (by volume) mixed with a super-saturated solution of lysine......applied to the blisters
once each hour the first day and once each 2 hours thereafter---until the eruptions are controlled (usually by day 3). One convenient method for making a super-saturated lysine solution is by placing about one ounce of water in a small glass container and adding powdered lysine until no more will go into solution....then add 20% (by volume) full strength DMSO. It is quite easy to use cotton Q-tips to apply the solution to the blisters. One suggestion; try to avoid licking your lips for about 2 minutes after applying the solution, but be sure not to lick them for at least one minute-----to insure an acceptable tissue penetration of the solution. One ounce of this solution will be sufficient to treat many "cold sores". This, particular, solution has a very long shelf life.
If any of the lesions are infected at the time of treatment, just add 10% (by volume) CS at 10 ppm strength....to the parent solution.
If you are a "physical coward" (as am I), the application of any quality aloe vera gel
product....a few minutes prior to applying the DMSO X Lysine protocol-----will yield welcome
pain reduction.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.

Well, it is very damp here and some people have trouble with the dampness

but I never thought it bothereed me. Maybe I've been wrong about that.

Thanks Kathryn. Faith G.

I have had exposure to mold toxins in the air here, and one of the

effects of that is to cause cold sores to appear and not go away, even

with the silver. I have not been successful in entirely eliminating

the exposure, so far.



If there is exposure to mold toxins in the air or in the diet, it can

cause that. It messes with the immune response, so if it is that, you

will not catch a cold or anything like that, but you will have cold

sores. There has been a lot of work done about this in animals, and

somehow those results are not usually applied to humans.
