I can't comment on the study as I haven't seen it, but lysine is recommended by many feline opthamologists for the treatment of herpes. It is also in the Merck Veterinary Manual. Also, I have 2 cats with this condition and lysine keeps their eyes clear. If I stop the lysine the eyes get runny

Hi Gary and all, I want to explain why I believe lysine to be an immune system booster so maybe we can stop going back and forth on the issue: There are 20 (or 21 depending on the source) different amino acids in our bodies.  One of them is L-lysine.  All cells in every organism (plants

And again, I defend my stance.  Lysine deficiencies can result in lowered immune function.  Period.  Even if it only helps combat the herpes virus (as opposed to FeLV), it is STILL AN IMMUNE SYSTEM BOOSTER!  And keeping the immune system boosted is of utmost importance in keeping the FeLV virus

lysine won't hurt; some vets say ALL cats should be on it, but i don't think it's fair for people who are desperately seeking help for their immune-compromised babies to think that something will do something that it cannot. as i said, i think it's pretty darned miraculous enough
