Oakland Gardens, NY -- (SBWire) -- 10/11/2013 --The herpes virus is sneaky. Once a person get infected, it goes into hiding inside the nerve cells deep in his skin, untouchable by blood vessels and hence by medications. This is why it is often said that herpes is not curable. Although this is true, there are many treatment regimens a person can come up with to knock outbreaks down to a minimum, including one that may get rid of them altogether.

Dietary Changes:

First, a person must make some dietary changes. If he eats chocolate, nuts, caffeine, berries, or any type of grain (like bread, breakfast cereal), then stop. These foods all contain high levels of the amino acid “arginine”, which acts as a sort of fuel for herpes. Arginine competes in the body with another amino acid called “lysine”, so increasing his lysine consumption will simultaneously decrease his levels of arginine. This should help reduce outbreaks.

So how does a person increase your lysine levels?

Well, one way is to take supplements. Take about 2 grams per day at the first sign of an outbreak. Long term use is probably OK, but it may raise cholesterol levels. A better thing to do would be to take the supplements only during an outbreak, and during maintenance periods (between outbreaks), keep your lysine levels high naturally by just eating foods with lysine. Dairy products are some of the highest. Ice cream, butter, milk, cheese, cottage cheese, and so on is high in lysine. So are most meats, vegetables, and fruits. Although stay away from oranges.

Sticking to this new diet should help decrease the frequency of outbreaks.
