How can we avoid herpes outbreaks while taking antibiotics?
Are the claims of Dr. Cass Ingram’s about Oil of Oregano, the capsules and the oil true in errandicating herpes? See references below.
Can everclear alcohol be helpful for eliminating the outbreaks at the first sign of them as stated by a vet on the internet by using one tablespoon of distilled water and then filling up to an 8oz mark and putting the solution in a spray bottle to use on outbreaks?

Does lysine help on a daily basis and if so, in what dosage?
May 3rd, 2008 at 6:19 pm
My husband has herpes and I’ve heard I can get it from him even between his outbreaks because the virus can be on the surface of the skin. I have him douse himself in rubbing alcohol (70%)before we have sex (every time), and since this kills germs, I was wondering if this will protect me from getting it? Wouldn’t the alcohol kill any herpes viruses that are on the skin? And, of course, we avoid sex completely if he is having an outbreak until he’s healed. I think this is a good idea, is there any reason why it shouldn’t work? Thanks
May 3rd, 2008 at 7:44 pm
I am on supressive meds daily, but since February I have had several outbreaks in the same area. I have scar tissue from a cut on my lavia, and that is where the sore appears everytime. What can be done to stop this, or at least help with the pain and burning. My Doctor is at a loss for another suggestion.
May 3rd, 2008 at 7:47 pm

I just found out I got a outbreak of herpes I told my husband which is in Iraq about me getting them and how I got them and I feel as if he don’t understand. How will these affect us in are lives we are both scared of not being the same when he returns.
May 9th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
You cant purse herpes out of your body- you can get it to stay dormant.
Avoid a lot of chocolate, peanut butter, caffeine, sodas, sugars, nuts as these things aggravate it and get some sleep. Sleep helps repair the body and will help you to keep it dormant.
May 9th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
Thank you Pat. It’s so great to see one of my readers give support to someone here.
I’m coming up with some new stuff next week where I’m going to start answering your questions. It is still a surprise though. I want to do something really cool so I’m working on it.
May 10th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
I was wondering why my outbreaks tend to be more right after my menstrual cycle and a few days following intercourse
May 14th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
Hi!
I was diagnosed with genital herpes 6 weeks ago. I feel like I’m constantly in the prodrome phase. I’m now down to 2 Valtrex a day (2 grams), but if I try to reduce my dosage even by a 1/2 of a pill, my nerve pain comes back with a vengeance! I’ve never had any blisters, just terrible nerve pain across my genitals, down my legs and also in my feet and sometimes hands! I’ve started on high dosages of Red Marine Algae and Lyceine. My depression about this whole thing is really starting to sink in. Even at 2 pills a day, my nerve pain will keep me awake at night. Everyone talks about this prodrome phase, but I feel like it’s ALWAYS with me. I am going to order your book.
I’m afraid my life has changed forever!
Thanks for listening,
jill

how often will it come back? i’ve only had one outbreak and i’m using Acyclovir, which seems to help. but once i stop taking it…will it come back??
May 20th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
What is the best thing to do if you are pregnant? Prescription meds are not recommended.
Also, if I decide not to use anything for treatment, how long does it take to go away; and what would that do for reoccurence?
May 21st, 2008 at 9:15 am
What’s your opinion on MMS? Im trying to find out if this thing can remove herpes from the body
May 21st, 2008 at 11:34 am
1) Very afraid of transmitting to someone. Over the fact that I have it, only fear is giving it someone.
How can you prevent transmission even without the use of condoms? (in a serious and monogamous relationship)
2) Is it true that with time, the virus decreases in strength therefore decreases outbreaks and risk of transmission?
Thank you so much Nathalie, all information is appreciated and listened to.
May 22nd, 2008 at 4:53 am
Hello Angela, sorry to hear about your situation. There are two scenarios which you should consider:
1: If you are asymptomatic ie, you do not have symptoms or get outbreaks, you may experience what is called asymptomatic shedding. During this period, you are contagious as the virus is active and on the surface of the skin. It is hard to know when asymptomatic people are shedding, as they do not experience the telltale symptoms. Those people need to be in tune with their bodies and look for subtle signs/triggers. When you are not shedding, you should not e contagious. Asymptomatic people can experience three to four periods of “shedding” per year. If you are asymptomatic, follow Nathalie’s recommendations on proper diet, supplements, rest and mental attitude, to decrease the number of incidents of shedding.
2: You get outbreaks, hence you experience symptoms. As soon as you feel any of the symptoms, you are prodrome and hence contagious. You should not partake in sexual activity until you have completely cleared from having symptoms/outbreaks. After the symptoms have gone and the outbreak has cleared, the virus goes into what is called a “dormant” state and you should no longer be contagious.
There is no evidence to suggest that using condoms during prodrome or shedding periods will 100% protect your partner from becoming infected. It is recommended to desist from sexual activity during these times.
May 22nd, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Actually there are some statistics about condoms that say you cut transmission risks by half if you use them. Condoms are useless if you get symptoms in your inner thighs or any place that is not covered by them.
May 22nd, 2008 at 9:08 pm
I want to know why none of the medications help me! They actually make my whole body feel so terrible! I have been using Purell on my skin whenever I feel tingling and I am getting amazing results! Why does the virus seem to retreat when I use purell? Why aren’t many other people using it? It burns on open skin but after it burns it makes me not blister and it prevents breakouts. What is it about purell that works so well and why don’t doctors tell people to use it?
May 23rd, 2008 at 4:39 am
Are there different strains of herpes, apart from types 1 and 2? I acquired herpes in sub-Saharan Africa from an African man. Is there an African strain that is different from say, a North American strain? I’ve never heard of it, but I wonder, because I think my symptoms are worse than what I usually read about from other people. I know it’s largely from my own stress levels and diet, but I’ve had 4 outbreaks in the last month!! One started immediately as another one was ending. Is it possible that there are tropical strains that are more virulent than those from temperate climates?
May 24th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
1. Is it possible to have Herpes for 2-3 years before ever showing symptoms of it?
2. Is it possible to have had sex with my wife during those 2-3 years without having infected her even if I had it and didn’t know it?
May 25th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
I was diagnosed in April. I had an outbreak in September 2007 that upon swab and blood testing came back negative for the virus and had a shingles outbreak at the same time(2 days after initial outbreak surfaced). The April outbreak came after a weekend of intercourse with a girlfriend, but I suspect the previous encounter as she’s not testing positive. 1)Is it possible to have swab and blood tests come back as a false negative (perhaps if it’s too soon to have developed antibodies)?
2) Is is safe to give oral sex to a woman if I’m shedding or in outbreak (genital herpes)or is the virus in my saliva and non-genital skin as well?
May 26th, 2008 at 6:17 am
Pat:
I eat all of those and I only have an outbreak about every five years.
May 26th, 2008 at 11:09 am
It is true that not everybody has to change their diet but it often helps people with severe symptoms or constant recurrences.
I know someone who had an outbreak only once in her life. I talk to people who never do but still test positive.
It all depends on your situation, your age, other conditions you might have and your immune system.
For example, women who tend to have herpes outbreaks during PMS or menstruation should watch their diet at that time.
This is quite precise. There has been a study suggesting that the severity of symptoms is genetically inherited. Another study tries to explain why some people have a lot of outbreaks and others don’t with the variation of natural killer cells activity among people. NKC are part of the immune system…
You should feel very lucky to have been blessed with extremely rare outbreaks.
May 26th, 2008 at 11:22 am
1)Is it possible to have swab and blood tests come back as a false negative
False negative swab tests are common. However positive swab tests are extremely rare.
2) Is is safe to give oral sex to a woman if I’m shedding or in outbreak (genital herpes)or is the virus in my saliva and non-genital skin as well?
Herpes is in your skin and nerve cells, not your saliva. The problem with oral sex is that you can catch oral herpes from genital herpes or give genital herpes with oral herpes.
Are you sure you don’t have oral herpes and that your partner doesn’t have genital herpes? If so I don’t see why not.
It is usually impossible to know for 100% sure because blood tests only tell you that the virus is in your body not where. If you have HSV-2 genital herpes, you should be on the safer side though.
May 26th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
Hi, and thanks so much for this website! 1. How can one stop the itching that goes before an outbreak? Sometimes I find this unbearable. If I do not itch, I dont have a breakout. But if I do itch, my sores come out.
2. What can ease the pain and soothe the skin during a break out? I figure, once you have one, you have to be patient, but I would like to know what I can do to ease the pain and possibly numb the area.
THANK YOU!

Hi, both my partner and I have herpes. We have unprotected sex and me being the male receive little red “marks” on my penis that take 6 or so weeks to disappear. They are not traditional outbreaks- I average about 1 of those per year and they are severe and excrete. These are simply little “flecks” on the surface of the skin. My partner shows no symptons at all but she is positive. Is there any way of having unprotected sex with her and not contracting these little red flecks on my penis? Its no big deal, its just that I’de prefer not to look at it all the time.
May 29th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
Hello nathlie, I would like to know some of the treatments that have worked for you that are easily accesible. Things that I can obtain from places such as walgreens would be awesome suggestions. I really have little to no experiences with at home remedies so any useful help or suggestions would be great. Thank you.

I don’t have genital herpes. I get “cold sores” on my lip about 3-4 times per year. I would like to find things to prevent outbreaks. I would like to find out about more natural substances to prevent the outbreaks. How can I keep outbreaks as short as possible?
I would be interested in finding out how to make creams and other naturals “cures”/preventatives.
You are doing a great service for people. Keep up the good work.

June 2nd, 2008 at 8:20 am
Hello Herb,
I started writing for people with genital herpes but as both oral herpes and genital herpes can be caused by either HSV-1 or HSV-2, the information I give is valid for both.
The only difference is that oral herpes requires more discreet topical treatment.
In your situation, i.e. not too many symptoms, I would suggest you try homeopathy.
There are a lot of things you can do to prevent symptoms, the first one being paying attention to what happens before symptoms. Was it stress, menstruation, certain types of foods, an emotion like anger or guilt, anxiety, fatigue, sun exposure…that triggered the infection?
I give a lot of clues in the audio recording of my teleconference. I suggest you listen to it.

Hi Nathalie, I would like to share what happened to me because I think it should not have. I was taking Valtrex for 7 days, did not get any better, had severe pain and itching, contacted my doctor who told me to refill the medicine and that I was getting better, but two days later I had allergic reaction to Valtrex. I took benadryl for three days which cured everything but the ongoing yeast infection I got from the Valtrex ontop of the herpes. I am still miserably itchy and my doctor only says,”buy yeast medication, if that doesn’t work come back”. I think this is the lamest thing I have ever heard. If I didn’t feel bad about having the herpes before now I feel REALLY BAD. What is your opinion? does this happen to other women?
June 5th, 2008 at 3:44 am
how do you tell your friend u want to go all the way with you have herpes? Im afraid of how she will react. Will she be mad and not understand and leave me.
June 6th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
Judy: did you get an answer? its the same situation for me.
June 6th, 2008 at 9:12 pm

Nathalie says: Yes I have. I can only say stay away from it.
June 29th, 2008 at 2:43 am
what are the five best herbs or
vitamins i can buy at the store
to reduce outbreaks? what is the best
topical medicine?
July 1st, 2008 at 12:25 am
Ann: lysine should not be used on a regular basis as it lowers your overall adatogenic immune response. It is useful, 500mg, 3xs a day (usual rec) at first sign of symptoms e.g. tingling sensation, nerve-like pain, burning, etc. Lemon balm is an anti-viral herb that is easy to find and can be taken as a tea or tincture daily as a nirvine and as a preventative. If an outbreak occurs, rub dragon’s blood resin (from tree sap, found at health food stores) or try diluted lavender essential oil (directly on sores/blisters). Epsom salt baths are great too as are deep breaths.
Nathalie Foy’s reply:
Thank you very much from this information. However from the scientific information I have gathered, lysine is much more likely to be effective for prevention than treatment. I sometimes suggest taking l-lysine for a few months until other remedies like homeopathic treatments become fully effective.
There is a form of lavender essential oil that works really well on herpes. It’s called aspic lavender. It’s harder to find and a bit on the harsh side but its effectiveness has been demonstrated in Germany.
July 7th, 2008 at 7:20 am
have u heard of biogetica products.They claim to be able to cure.
July 7th, 2008 at 9:32 pm
mack10: Nathalie Foy: mark: mack10: Nathalie Foy:
I thought I received an insect bite as I began to notice itching bumps on my right leg. The bumps begin to form pustules containing clear liquid. A co-worker recently came down with singles I don’t know if there is any connection. I noticed about twelve bumps on my right leg looked and felt like the cold sores (real itchy) I used to get on my lip as a child. I have been under a lot of stress at work. The skin condition has me worried and could not sleep hardly at all last night.
July 11th, 2008 at 4:24 am
My sister has got another outbreak of herpes on her lips and she is finding it difficult to deal with due to the burning sensation she has also got a very sore throat due to this and has developed ulcers.
Pls advise what food should she eat and if your medicines can eradicate herpes totally, she has gone very weak and keeps feeling feverish and gets joint pains.
Pls help
Thanks,

“If you try to stop herpes at prodromes, you are 10 times more likely to be successful than if you wait until the itching seems unbearable”
but how can i stop it without medicin?
how can you be sure that i dont transmitt it to my boyfriend?
July 24th, 2008 at 11:04 pm
how can i help prevent the out breaks?
July 29th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
my bf gave me herpes 2 months ago,can i get rid ofthe virus completely from my body
July 30th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
can my partner that does not have herpes can he get it orally during sex even tho I dont have symptoms
August 6th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
I have genital herpes my partner does not if we decide to have oral sex, also if he decides to finger me will he contract herpes even tho I am taking valtrex
Nathalie Foy says :
I cannot explain herpes transmission here but let me give you some information.
Herpes is transmitted from skin to skin. Valtrex doesn’t cut all the risks of transmitting herpes. If his skin comes in contact with yours and herpes is present, there is a chance he will get herpes from you.
However if you pay close attention to your symptoms and have sex when you don’t feel anything you have fewer chances to transmit herpes. You will have to learn how to increase awareness of the mildest symptoms and pay attention to what triggers herpes. It may be stress, anxiety, PMS… Avoid sexual contact when those triggers are present and you feel a tingle or flu like symptoms or anything you already felt during an outbreak.
August 6th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
also if i am taking the valtrex and I use a condom can my partner get herpes.
Nathalie Foy says :
Unfortunately, this only reduces transmission risks but doesn’t remove them. That’s why you need to do as much as possible to prevent transmission.
August 11th, 2008 at 3:12 am
Can I get reduce the break-outs fast?
What are the first symptoms? I dont have a docter and dont really know the first symptoms I think I might have it.
Nathalie Foy says:
Outbreaks are much better prevented than treated but if taken care of really early on, yes you can stop an outbreak.
August 11th, 2008 at 3:16 am
I been with the same person for 2 years I know he don’t have it, because he had to get tested for his military postion.
How can I find out when I got it if I can find out?
Nathalie Foy says :
I’m sorry but I don’t think there is a way to date when you caught herpes. You may look at your herpes symptom history. However, this may not tell you for sure when or from whom you got it.
August 11th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
I just found out that i have herpes about 1 month ago because i thought i had a yeast infection. I got 1 sore and it went away but, my discharge is still weird. It’s like wet tissue paper and then sometimes jelly-like. Does that mean I’m still contagious or what does it even mean?
Right now I’m taking Super Lysine, Cat’s claw, vitamin-e, multi-vitamin, calcium & magnesium, and acidophilous plus exercise and water. I haven’t got another out break yet. Is there anything that I need to change or add to my world of vitamins?
Nathalie Foy says :
I think you may have both. Did you visit a doctor? Yeast infection can make herpes symptoms worse or can make a silent herpes infection become noticeable. I would say, you need a proper diagnosis. The internet is not a goo place for this. One thing is absolutely certain though, you must avoid sodas, sugar, refined wheat flour produces, caffeine for a while.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
I have been in a monogomous relationship with my girlfrend for nine months now. Several weeks ago I noticed several red bumps on the head of my penis along with discoloration on the base of my penis. I have not went to the doctor, but I am pretty confident that it is a herpes outbreak. Both of us have been tested for STDs before we engaged in sexual intercourse with each other. I am almost positive that she is not cheating on me. What is your take on the situation?
Nathalie Foy says :
Did you take a blood test? Maybe you or your girlfriend had a short romance before within 3 to 4 meeting each other. Blood tests detect antibodies (body reaction to herpes antigens). It takes some time for the body to create them and in that time frame someone can be infected with herpes and yet test negative.
August 16th, 2008 at 9:29 am
My gynaecologist was extremely bad in her attitude when she pronounced her diagnosis. This is not even confirmed as yet. I had a full range of blood tests in 2006 just before my partner and i started our ivf treatment ( successful on first go )and neither of us tested positive for herpes.I just cannot get comfortable with the idea. How do others cope with this awful feeling of being somehow ” dirty” or is that just me?
Thanks for this site!!
August 16th, 2008 at 9:33 am
Continuing my last comment, I took in a photo of herpes outbreaks on the hands ( my partner gets these) and when I went back tot he gynaecologist she had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what the photos were until I told her! Still no result for herpes test. In a way I am lucky because my man and I are both open about these kind of issues and if the tests are positive we know the way herpes works and can lie dormant for years - no thanks to an unhelpful gynaecologist!!!
August 16th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
This will not do anything except potentially exacerbate his symptoms, please do not
August 16th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
Judy: It is probably because when you have intercourse it can irritate your vagina, which can contribute to a outbreak. Try using lube, or having more foreplay before intercourse.
August 16th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
Melanie: This will not do anything except potentially exacerbate his symptoms, please do not
August 16th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
Bo: Scars are very uncommon, are you itching them? If so, stop, as this is the most common way scarring will occur.
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:44 am
Does DMSO cream or sepreh soap work?
Is it true you shoul apply a tea back to the affected area if so what type of tea do you use and do you use frozen tea bags or warm wet ones?
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:55 pm
I want to date what can I do to protect my future date?
I had read that Garlic, Vit C & Zinc helps in out breaks is that true?
September 2nd, 2008 at 10:26 pm
Having been diagnosed with herpes 1 in the genital area just a few days ago my 2 questions are as follows:
- how can i relax about the possibility of recurring outbursts (especially as i’m afraid it will happen, as the initial one, when i’m having my period) and thus lose the added stress of knowing i have the disease
- how can i prevent further outbursts as easily and reliably as possible (i’m depressed etc, not really in a good place in life overall)
Thanks.

I found out I have had herpes for 5 months now or at least syptoms just started to show. I feel like I am unable to deal with the chronic headaches and stomach pains. I try to stay stress free and eat lots of fruits and vegetables. I heard herpes can cause the pancreas to weaken. Could this be why my stomach aches? I also heard that if herpes gets to the brain it can instantly kill you. Have you heard of this?

I believe I have recently acquired herpes from my husband of 22 years. I think that because I am post menopausal that my vaginal tissues were more susceptible to the virus. Since this is my first infection, I have been suffering greatly. I have genital, anal and urethral swelling. I also have labial varicose veins, which I had during pregancy 21 years ago. I have difficulty urinating and defecating. There are no lesions. I also have tingling and pain down my legs, nausea and low grade fever. After 2 weeks I finally got on the anti viral medication acyclovir. It is beginning to work about 4 days later. I am worried about subsequent infections. How bad will they be?

Can a cut near the buttcrack be herpes? I sometimes feel that it may be because I saw on another website that cuts can be breakouts.

I have noticed that before I have an outbreak I have this pain usually in my legs- my thighs and bottom- it hurts to touch my skin but there is nothing there. It doesn’t go away with tylenol or ibuprofen, etc. I’ve learned to assosicate it with an outbreak but what is it and why does it hurt so bad when there isn’t anything there? Is there a way to stop it or help it?

I have just started dating a woman with behcets disease. She is scared to even touch me now that she knows I have HBV 2. Her doctor told her if she were to contract herpes it would be really bad for her considering she has an autoammune disorder. I am wondering what the SAFEST sex techniques there are. I’m not sure if it’s different in a lesbian relationship. I do know a condom won’t help.
Thank you.
