HERPES   

Herpes!  Even the name sounds bad.

What is it?  What, if anything, can be done to permanently remedy it?

Oral Herpes (cold sores), an infection caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus is estimated to be present in 50% to 80% of all American Adults.  20% (over 50 million people) are infected with Genital Herpes, which is also caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus, and the majority of these cases may not even be aware they even have it.  Some statistics show that more than 500,000 Americans are diagnosed with Genital Herpes each year, and the largest increase nowadays is occurring in our young Teenagers.  

Herpes is spread by direct skin-to-skin contact directly from the site of infection to the site of contact.  For example, if a person has a cold sore and kisses someone, the virus can be transferred to their lips and mouth.  Similarly, if they have active Genital Herpes, and have vaginal or anal intercourse, the partner can develop Genital Herpes.  And lastly, if a person has a cold sore, and puts their mouth on their partners genitals (oral sex), Genital Herpes can be transmitted to the partner this way as well. 

At the beginning of the infection, the Herpes Virus escapes the immune defenses by entering the nerve endings and traveling to the ganglia (clusters of nerve cells).  In the ganglia, the virus is inactive and it causes no harm to the body or the nerve cells.  From time to time, however, the virus can be reactivated.  When that happens, it travels back down the nerve to the surface of the skin.  There it starts to multiply, causing another outbreak of sores. Reoccurrences usually develop near the site of the initial infection. Infections have different patterns in different people, and any of the following factors might possibly trigger an outbreak:  Surgery, Illness, Stress (Physical or Emotional), Colds and Fevers, Fatigue, Skin Irritations (such as Sunburn or being in contact with Industrial Chemicals including Hair Dyes), Menstruation, vigorous Sexual Intercourse, and an unhealthy Diet of Commercial Sodas, Coffee, Chocolate, Alcohol, and Sugar. 

According to Medical Sources, there is NO way to rid the body of it.  Welllllllllll, I beg to differ!!!

Cleansing, Blood Purification, and certain Herbal Techniques can help.  My standard “Incurables Program” rebuilds the Immune system and creates an environment that is very unfriendly to this embarrassing virus.  Even the above triggers cease to bring about a re-occurrence after the Cleansing as long as one doesn’t go overboard with them. 

Certain Vitamins & Minerals, an Organic Diet, a Bio-Chemical / Herbal Regimen (my Incurables Program), and a few Lifestyle changes that promote health turn this around completely.  It takes some effort, and sometimes, it takes a lot of hard work.  But it can be done.  You can fix this. 

Yours in Knowledge, Health and Freedom,
