The companies selling Lysine supplements have done a great job in getting people to buy a substance that has little value in managing a chronic herpes infection. Lysine has never been shown conclusively in clinical studies to be an effective long term treatment for herpes and in the short term it has never been shown to be more effective than a garlic supplement. Long term use of lysine supplements suppress the arginine levels in your body to a point where it begins to impair your immune system because your immune system does actually need a certain amount of arginine to function properly.

Like all things in your body, balance is the key. Your immune system depends on a good balance between lysine and arginine and the best way to achieve this is to get your lysine through your diet the way your body was designed to instead of through a pill. Eat the foods high in lysine, avoid the foods high in arginine. Simple.

You cannot manage herpes just by popping a pill whether it comes from a drug company or a "natural health" company. This isn't "the valley of the dolls" you actually can get through life without being dependent on pills.

Real management of herpes means strenthening your immune system so that it can keep the virus in check which is what your body is designed to do. You can accomplish this through taking real herbal medicine from an herbalist or by making it yourself.

Real management of herpes also means making the effort to eat an appropriate diet, stress management, and working on your emotional and mental relationship with the disease.

It does take more work to take care of your body naturally than it does to pop a pill. I for one think your body's worth it. I think your life's worth it. Some would disagree, but at least I've made the point.

Genital Herpes is a misunderstood illness, and I hope to dispel some myths with the publication of this article. Perhaps the first thing to note is that the majority of people are infected with one strain of herpes – HSV 1, also known as the common cold sore! Of course it has less of a stigma attached, so let’s look at the facts about genital herpes...
Some people are unable to deal with the trauma that comes with a sexually transmitted disease. Knowing this, is important, for this people need not only get physical treatment but emotional as well. Stigma that comes with the rejection by partners and family can cause physical, mental and emotional stress.
There are various ways to suppress this discomfort; Keep the affected area clean and dry, by wearing loose fitting clothes, by soaking yourself in warm water, better still use a blow dryer with low heat to dry the affected area as opposed to a towel. Women are highly advised against douching. This is to mention just a few of home remedies. Let no one lie to you. Research has shown that there is no cure for genital herpes.
But before you open the page, in most cases than not you will find a warning. Those who do, almost immediately feel a knot in there stomach and what follows after that is nausea. Its not a pleasing sight any time and if you are not ready, genital herpes pictures can blow your mind off and send your body into chills.
Watch out for the destructive cold sores herpes virus. It is a type of the herpes simplex virus. The herpes simplex virus type 1 causes most cold sores. About 20 per cent of cold sores are caused by the type 2 version. Both types create identical cold sore events.
When the word herpes is used, it's usually meant to reference a case of genital herpes. The herpes virus actually comes in several forms, but the most common herpes virus form by far is herpes simplex. The two variations of herpes simplex are, naturally enough, herpes simplex 1 and herpes simplex 2.
Herpes is, essentially, the name given to a viral infection. The virus that causes the infection is called Herpes Simplex Virus. Herpes Simplex Virus comes in different forms, but its main variations are Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV 1) and Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (HSV 2). Beyond the common cold, herpes is likely the most common viral infection in existence.
