Ted, Diet has a big effect on Herpes1.(maybe on HSV2?) Lysine supplements help a lot. Herpes thrives when the diet is rich in Arginine. My husband gets HSV1 cold sores, and uses Lysine supplements 500 mg, 3 times a day when he gets one. Also he takes Lysine if he eats foods high in Arginine (nuts, chocolate, whole grains) Once the sore breaks out, he uses a 10% DMSO, 90% CS solution on the sore several times per day. They dry up very fast. He used to be able to feel when a cold sore was starting and head them off with Lysine, and extra B complex, vit C, Vit, E and Zinc. But for some odd reason, they don't do the warning tingle anymore. HTH, paula
