hi Nathalie, thanks for your publications they are helping me a lot in coping with HSV2. I was(am ) in a relationship for the past one year and seven months, since being diagnosed with HSV 2 my partner is not the same. After doing a blood test i told him of the results he stopped calling as often as he used to. He said he need some time to think things through it has now been three months and he is still distant. hat do you think i should do? Let him go or hang on? I really love this man, it is so hard for me to cope.
Nathalie says: I am not a relationship specialist so it is hard to say. I guess he has to figure it out on his own. You cannot force him to choose you. At some point you will have to be straight-forward and just ask him but in the meanwhile why don’t you take care of yourself? Learn to control herpes instead of it controlling you. Visit a herpes support group so that you start accepting yourself more.
Often people reflect at us things that are happening inside of us. If you’re going through self-acceptance issues (like feeling dirty or shameful) because of herpes, you may need to address these feelings so that this man accepts you. Like I said to one of my girl friends who could not get her long-term boyfriend to propose. “Would you marry yourself?” That got her thinking that maybe she should start learning how to love herself more and their couple is doing better than ever. He has not proposed yet but I’m sure he will at some point. So my advice to you is go out, have fun, exercise, take care of yourself, learn to love and accept yourself. This will make you a magnet for true love.

Hi, am wondering if you have any advice on the DR. Hulda Clarks Zapper, am wondering if my husband and i should try it or is it a waste of money? Also did some reading on Resolve Minerals that claim to detox your body of viruses in 50 days $299. is this worth trying or a scam. Thank you for helping us. Kara
Nathalie says: If you read Hulda Clark herself, you will see that she says that the zapper does not reach beyond the bottom layers of the skin so no I don’t think you need it. I am in shock but it seems that the person behind Resolve Herpes is Kevin Trudeau or at least got inspired by him. I am not sure of course. You can buy his $20 something report instead but I saw the remedies he mentions and I am far from being convinced he has found a cure. Far from it.

i have just experienced shedding for the first time and it scared me, what does this mean, i know it means that the virus has travelled through my nerves but i don’t understand much more.
July 19th, 2010 at 12:42 am
1st question: I just had my first outbreak and I am 47. I was told by the doctor at an urgent care unit that I could have been exposed to the herpes virus in my teens and/or college years, is this true as I have been with my husband for 15 years? 2nd question: I was diagnosed with breast cancer, had a mastectomy, and went thru chemo. In addition I am obviously in menopause. You spoke about hormone imbalance can trigger an episode, can the menopause sysmtoms trigger an episode?
Nathalie Says:
Q1: Yes it is possible
Q2: I have found that menopause causes herpes to return in many women but chemotherapy might be a cause too. Please do research on Chlorella to see if it might fit your situation.

To Natalie..Did you hear about Biogetica company? They specialize in ayruvedic and homeopathic remedies for herpies.I wonder what you think? I like their HRPZ formula III spray -like php
Nathalie Says:
Yes, we know each other. HRPZ III is not there formula though but I do think homeopathy is great and I like this remedy.
July 17th, 2010 at 3:54 pm
Hope this works for me!!!
July 15th, 2010 at 9:41 pm
Will there EVER be a CURE for herpes?
Nathalie says: Absolutely! Actually I believe there is one already but it was hidden.
July 9th, 2010 at 8:56 pm
Correction: I have tried more than a few things.
July 9th, 2010 at 8:53 pm
Hi Natalie
Thanks so much for making yourself available to help so many people. Hopefully you can help me. I’ve had herpes for 5 years now. I have never been able to shake the first outbreak. I have been miserable and lonely for 5 years and ashamed to even be with someone. I can’t stop kicking myself for having sex with a girl that I wasn’t even attracted to her, just had sex with her because she hadn’t had sex in so long and wanted me yet she never told me she had herpes. Why anybody would knowingly give this to anyone is beyond me. I’m as furious with myself as I am with her. Anyway, I can’t take it. I’ve tried a few things but nothing has kicked this initial outbreak. I have sores or warts on my penis as well as my scrotum. I fear that anything I do will make them spread and this makes matters even worse. I am (was) a very active person: running, biking, hiking, rock climbing all kinds of sports. I have been afraid to do anything in any hot weather or anything that would make me sweat too much down there. I’m so miserable. I would give anything to be normal or at least close to normal again. I’ve even considered killing myself because you see I was a totally healthy guy. No medical problems whatsoever. Very good looking. Always dated beautiful, gorgeous, sexy, intelligent women. Hadn’t found the one yet but knew I would soon. Then this happened and I’ve been alone ever since. Haven’t had sex with anyone and I love sex! It’s killing me. Sex is such a big part of who I am. I love intimacy. I’m so miserable… I’m at the point that I don’t even care what the side effects are of whatever I were to take as long as it would work and I’d be normal again. I don’t know if I can go on living this way. If you can help me you’d be saving my life.
Anthony

I look forward to all the information so that I can live a normal life without fear. I just want to be normal again…thanks.
March 24th, 2010 at 8:35 pm
thanks for responding, my question is how do you stop an attack from occurring within the first few days
or at the first sign of prodone symptoms
Can I buy your book via hard copy which I would prefer.
Thanks Sandy.
Nathalie says:
The best thing to do is learn your herpes triggers so that you can abort herpes outbreak even before the prodrome stage. I recommend a combination of several strategies during prodrome including diet changes, supplementation, herbal and homeopathic remedies both used internally and externally. It usually aborts all symptoms within a few hours if everything is combined at prodrome stage. If you want to learn how you can do that, I suggest you read more about my herpes treatment program. It does not exist in hard copy though.
However, Herpes Wise is available at Amazon US and Lulu.com

I was had my first herpes outbreak 6 days ago and it is horrible. I have painful blisters and lesions in my mouth. I went to the doctor and was prescribed an antiviral medication and also given a gel to put on the sores to numb them so I can brush my teeth and eat. I have been seeing someone for almost a month now and it is going fantastic! I really just don’t know how to tell the person I have herpes. I cannot lose the person because I am starting to care for them. I would also like to know any natural methods that can treat an outbreak of oral herpes and methods to prevent future outbreaks.
Nathalie says: Hello dear,
Have you considered that your partner might have herpes too and he/she might have given it to you? Also about 80% to 90% of the population has oral herpes. I don’t think your partner would reject 90% of the population. I have written two books on the subject “how to prevent herpes” and I just cannot summarize everything here. I mostly write for people with genital herpes but the solution is virtually the same for oral herpes. It should be a bit “lighter” for people with oral herpes but it seems you have severe symptoms so you should do the full program.
March 19th, 2010 at 3:03 am
Hi Nathalie,
last week I found a link to purchase your updated book, and now I can not find it, please provide me with a link. thank you.
Nathalie says: Thanks Angie. I have not made an announcement yet but you can find it here.
March 18th, 2010 at 8:58 am
I get urethral swelling red lesion tingling and worse pain that wake me at night when sleeping had swap from doctor but came back neg also white discharge . had coarse of acyclovir started feel better but came back in same place as bad as ever. I have breast feeding sines April 2009.Can you helped I need help
Nathalie Says: Hello Julie. It seems your herpes symptoms are located at a very painful area. Did you doctor mention suppressive therapy to you or did they just gave you some pills to make the symptoms go away faster? If you want to prevent herpes symptoms naturally I suggest you start my program at http://www.herpesantidote.com. If you’re still within your first year after herpes infection, you may want to discuss suppressive therapy with your doctor. I feel it is always better to control your health naturally in the long-run but it’s your choice.

seven months ago I was hospitalized for eight days suffering from the worst imaginable symptoms you could ever fathom. They told me it was herpes and at first I didn’t belive them. There were no blisters to back up their assumptions. They said that they could be on the inside where I couldn’t see them. I swelled up so bad that they had to put a cathiter in me, The skin in and around my vagina started coming off leaving nothing but raw skin. Stuff was oozing out of me this greenish color worse than when I’m on my period then i started bleeding this thick brown blood that looked and felt like snot. They still seemed to belive that it was herpes. It took eight days in the hospital and five days at home to recover. Then last week it started all over again, I went to my doctor and an gyn they sent me to who also said it was probaly herpes but only because his colleage had said so before. I couldn’t describe the pain and nastiness of this. Does this sound anything like normal to you or have you ever heard of anything like this before? I really need some help and I don’t know where to go. I live in a small town and would really love to see a speacilist but don’t know who that would be. I would be eternaly grateful for some help. Thank you for your time.
Nathalie Says: Your symptoms are not really common. I know that some very severe cases exist. However, they usually are most common in people who suffer from an impaired immune system like people with AIDS. If I were you, I would request a herpes PCR test immediately. I would also request a full STD screening plus yeast and candida albicans . These doctors cannot just assume it is herpes and leave you agonizing like that. They can be so full of themselves and disrespectful to women. Find a female gynecologist and rush to ER if necessary. You deserve to be treated with respect and you have the right to demand it. They could have at least given you suppressive therapy.
Also, it may not help much but try and take raw garlic in the morning OR evening for at least 3 weeks. Cut two cloves. Place them on top of a glass of water and swallow quickly. It is not so pleasant an experience but should help you a bit.
In 6 weeks, you will be able to get a blood test. If it is herpes, I suggest you try my new program at http://www.herpesantidote.com at once. You will probably need extra support that I will gladly give you at no extra cost.
March 7th, 2010 at 11:52 pm
is it possible to transmit the virus when the man uses his finger to stimulate and it is not anywhere near where the sore is? Do you actually have to come into contact with the location of the outbreak?
Nathalie Says: theoretically, herpes is mostly transmitted from skin-to-skin contact. It is possible for herpes to be located in several areas of the skin, areas where outbreaks may be present and others with no visible symptoms. That’s why there is a “no sex during outbreak” rule. It is just impossible to be certain herpes will not be located on several spots at the same time.

My husband and I are trying to conceive (I had one successful pregnancy). I have type 1 herpes on my genitals. I had read that because it was type 1 it would probabaly not be very severe, however, for the last 7 years I get an outbreak every 3 months if not more often. I rarely had any outbreaks during pregnancy (I feel it is related to my ovulation). Anyway, we were trying to get pregnant and then a few days later I had a full outbreak. Then a few weeks later I found out I was pregnant, which surprised me because i didn’t think I would because of the bad outbreak. Unfortunately at 7.5 weeks I had a complete miscarriage. My doctor and naturopath say that it is not linked to the herpes outbreak, but a chinese doctor I spoke with and my chiropractor said it may have. Could they be related? 3 weeks later I have another full blown outbreak.
I want to get pregnant but am very scared of having another miscarriage. I want to get the herpes more under control so as not to have an outbreak around the time I am trying to conceive.
Nathalie Says:
It is hard to say from a distance. I think you may suffer from hormonal imbalance that may have both promoted severe outbreaks and miscarriage. Herpes outbreaks are rarely the symptoms of herpes but rather an unhealthy or weakened immune system.
If I were you, I would try and check my hormonal levels and try and restore them naturally.
Another factor that promotes both severe outbreaks and hormonal imbalance is the presence of yeast and parasites proliferation in the body so you must absolutely get rid of those and maintain an healthy intestinal flora. This blog is not the place to explain to you how to restore hormonal balance but I think that going through a good body detox is a good start.

I am falling in love with someone who told me he has herpes. He hasn’t had an outbreak in 8 years. in that time, He’s fathered a child, had four sexual partners, and no one has contracted herpes. How can I avoid getting it? He’s incredible and I see this is nothing to scare me off, just something to educate myself properly about. I want to enjoy a healthy and fun sex life with him. Any input would be fantastic and greatly appreciated!
February 12th, 2010 at 10:18 am
Hello! Your post (Herpes Antidote » Ask Your Top 2 Herpes Questions Here) does so well that I would like to translate it into French, publish on my french blog and link to you. You have something against it? Regards
February 5th, 2010 at 1:38 pm
Hello! I found out a week ago I have herpes. My ex gave it to me. He cheated. I have been dating a new guy for over a month now and i told him as soon as I found out. He was super nice the first two days. Then, the day before yesterday he wanted to sleep alone because he was really tired. Then yesterday he was going out and saif he wanted to meet up after. I texted him like 4 times and called like 10 and he didn’t respond. Before I went to bed I texted him that I hope he’s having fun and tat I love him very much. Nothing back! I woke up every hour sweating and looking at my phone!
I think I’, goimg crazy! I will never have a normal life again. Nobody will ever love me again and I am stuck with this shit. What am I going to do? I feel like I am reallly going crazy. I am so afraid of loosing this guy but I can’t force him to love me!!! PLease help me!!! What am I going to do? The worst part is that I was just going to get the pills when I got tested. I just thought I might as well get tested. I didn’t have any symptoms. I am praying for peace of mind right now because I am litterally going crazy! Please help me!
Hell
Nathalie Says:
You can find a man that will cherish you. Many of my readers are women and have found men who have accepted them. It seems to me that your date was either not that much into something serious or needs time to think this over. Texting and calling that much early in the relationship can only draw a man away whether you have herpes or not. Next time you meet a man give him plenty of space and time (up to one month) to make up his mind.
If I were you, I would work on my self esteem and give myself some time before dating again. Give yourself at least 2 months before dating someone else and take the time to relax, take care of yourself and do anything you need to do to feel good about you again. It could be new make-up, hair, wardrobe, visiting a support group, therapy, exercise… and of course you can learn how to flirt and make yourself irresistible in the meantime.

Menopause has really played a big part in my outbreaks….
since I started bio-identical hormones…outbreaks have really increased….is this just menopause or the hormones.
Thank you.
Miserable
Nathalie Says:
To tell you the truth so many women report to me a connection between herpes and hormones that I will write a small report about it. Are you taking estrogens, progesterone, both? If I remember correctly high estrogen can exacerbate herpes symptom frequency and severity. Any women in their thirties plus can experience some form of hormonal imbalance that can promote herpes outbreaks. Have you considered taking DIM?
February 2nd, 2010 at 2:47 pm
Oncw I do have an outbreak what is the most efeective way of getting rid of it?
Nathalie Says: I have devoted a whole chapter of my book on the subject. I am sorry but I cannot summarize it all here. However, I can tell you that you should use a combination of diet changes, supplementation and local treatment all at the same time. Getting plenty of sleep is also a good idea.
One quick tip, you will find a lot of information just by reading the Q&A of this post.
February 2nd, 2010 at 2:45 pm
is there something I can take daily to reduce the possibility of having an outbreak
Nathalie Says:
Absolutely. It is actually not one miracle product/ingredient that can do the job but a combination of remedies that can prevent herpes outbreaks from returning.
February 1st, 2010 at 11:16 pm
Dear Natalie,
I am a medical professional and I also have herpes. Like you, I have been looking for ways to decrease outbreaks for myself and patients. I was very encouraged to find that a link between pH balance and outbreaks. More specifically, the common denominator between chocolate, caffeine, peanuts, etc. is that they are highly acidic foods, which is to say that the conditions in the body after the metabolism of these foods tends to push the pH of body fluids to the acidic side of the spectrum. I’ve noted that the authors of the books and studies that I have read, (and I have read many!) all say the same thing, which is that viruses, even cancer cells, depend on an acidic environment to reproduce. Likewise, most medications will produce acid conditions, which might explain why many of your readers describe an increase in symptoms during or after treatment with antibiotics. The possible link between menstruation and herpes is that many women binge on chocolate and sugar before and during menses, thus increasing the acidic conditions in the body. I did my own personal experiment and note with joy that as long as I eat an alkaline diet, I am outbreak free. But within 24hours of consuming highly acid foods, such as coffee, energy drinks, colas, sugary foods, I get an outbreak. I slso have had great success with the use of colloidal silver, specifically MESOSILVER, which is the only non-toxic colloidal silver.There’s much more to say about this, but I thought I would share at least this much of my experience and if you’d like more info, such as the name some of the books, etc., I’d be happy to send you the names. I have no financial interest in either the silver or any of the books. I just have found them to be very helpful. Peace and health.
Nathalie Says: I have to agree that an alkaline diet combined with some stress management like meditation, yoga and some brisk walking can do the job. However, I don’t think that most people are ready to make the effort to seriously follow an alkaline diet for the rest of their lives. That’s why I provide information that will help people get rid of outbreaks even if their diet is not perfect.
I’m not saying they can binge on junk food all day and hope for great results but rather that they can make some adjustment to their diet so that they eat more of the healthy alkalizing foods, NOT have perfect diets and still get results.
The relationship between hormones and herpes is more complex that just compulsive chocolate eating. Estrogen dominance can promote chronic yeast overgrowth which can be a major issue…
I am always open to sharing with people so you can contact me any time.
February 1st, 2010 at 5:24 pm
I am now concerned about liver malfunction or failure because of taking valtrex everyday,(generic valtrex is only half as affective and I needed to take twice as much for the same effect) I am not a doctor but I know that my body tells me when it is labouring over something and I am very concerned and am interested in alternative or natural herpes help,( aside from the cost factor) it is more powerfull than me and I need help in order to control it and get on with my life as they say being able to not let herpes control my life is a goal for me. I agree knowledge is power and there is alot of what they call red herrings out there I must do alot of research in order to be carful with my body.
Nathalie Says: You could also read my book. I have done a lot of research myself for more than 6 years now. It would save you a lot of time.
January 27th, 2010 at 6:43 pm
Are there foods that can trigger or make outbreaks worse?
Nathalie Says: definitely! Chocolate with almond bar can make things pretty awful for example. Please read the Q&A below for more information.
January 26th, 2010 at 7:40 pm
1. I am 58 and have had herpes for over 30 years. In the last 20 years my outbreaks have been so few and far between so as to have almost made me forget that I have the disease. In the last six weeks I have had three outbreaks. Can you help me to understand reasons why this might have happened.
2. Is chocolate a trigger for outbreaks and why?
Nathalie Says: It is hard to reply to the first question. A sudden change in your immune system is probably the culprit but what caused it I cannot say. Did you experience stress, another disease, hormonal imbalance, a new relationship, a major change in your life..?
Chocolate is a trigger for outbreaks when combined with one or two other triggers. In other words it is possible to eat chocolate with herpes but only when no other triggers are present.
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:33 pm
What a awesome find! I’m glad I found this Herpes Antidote » Ask Your Top 2 Herpes Questions Here blog.
January 22nd, 2010 at 4:26 am
In your response regarding shedding, I notice that the virus travels through the nerve path. As it travels, can it do damage to the nervous system, can it affect longevity, and can it be the underlying cause for one’s death? In other words, can it affect your physiology in such a way that death occurs?
Nathalie Says: Herpes only kills people who do not have or a very weak immune system. Usually it is infants or people with AIDS. As long as you have a normal immune system, you are fine.
Herpes can affect the nerves in such a way that you may experience nerve pain during and in between outbreaks though.
January 18th, 2010 at 4:24 am
Your lessons are informative, and helpful. Thank you for taking the time writing them. I appreciate it very much.
January 14th, 2010 at 12:43 am
What is shedding? Is it the period during which you are having an outbreak? If there is no sigh of an outbreak, but you are having a discharge, could that be considered an active viral period when it’s possible to spread the virus, and outside of using a condom, how does one stay safe sexually?
Thank you for your response.
Nathalie Says: Shedding is when the virus travels through the nerve paths onto the skin. It can be symptomatic causing visible symptoms or asymptomatic causing no visible signs. To protect your partner, you can learn to detect when you are shedding and greatly reduce the number of asymptomatic days. When you detect that you are shedding, you should not have sexual contact.
Also it is a known scientific fact that you shed less when you do not have visible herpes symptoms for a long period of time. In other words, the fewer outbreaks you have, the less shedding symptomatic or asymptomatic days you will experience and of course the less likely you are to transmit herpes. There are more things you can do but I leave that to my book….
January 8th, 2010 at 12:15 am
Hi,
. Isn’t it doable?? I love him and we are trying to work things out. I don’t want to loose him. I think I freaked him out when I told him that if he gives it to me, then it would be a danger to any future babies. I guess I shouldn’t have said anything, but I was mad at the time so…..Oh! also, sorry, I know this is question 3, but what about vit D3? I get 4,000iu/da.
My husband had an affair w/ a woman who has herpes but claimed she wasn’t contagious at the time. He does not know yet if he has it or not. It was 3 weeks ago. Is it too soon for the test to show up correctly? He said that he won’t want to stay married to me if he has it b/c he does not want to give it to me
Nathalie Says: You need to wait at least 6 weeks before you/he can get a blood test. It seems you will have to deal with the hurt associated with cheating like any couple who goes through that. Herpes will not stop you from having babies. I explain all this in my book. Your husband must learn to protect himself from herpes and if he caught it to protect you from it. I stayed with the same man for almost 9 years and he never got herpes from me. It is possible. On a more personal level, please do not blame yourself. It was your husband’s doing and not your responsibility. It is normal for you to be in a state of shock.
January 4th, 2010 at 4:02 am
also I have been hearing a lot on lauric acid , for treatment, Do you have any experience with this?
January 3rd, 2010 at 1:12 am
Hello,
what do you think about hypersince mysorense and nosode therapy
(spelling) for treatment of hsv II I have been taking for several months and have not gotten an outbreak maybe once in awhile a single pimple on buttock.
Nathalie Says: Thank you for letting us know. I am sure people will be delighted to read about your success. I don’t know this form of hypericum but hypericum perforatum is an interesting herb. I don’t use it internally though. I find other plants more potent against herpes . I love homeopathic remedies, nosodes included.
December 8th, 2009 at 4:31 am
Why does taking lysine make me sick?
Nathalie Says: I think I was the first person to warn about the potential negative long-term effects of prolonged lysine intake. Please use lysine only for a few days not all the time. Arginine is an important amino acid and blocking its absorption for a long time may raise your body acid levels, hurt your muscles and your heart…
December 4th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
Does resveratrol help with herpes 2
Nathalie Says: Reservatol has been found to suppress herpes replication and block HSV DNA synthesis during early lab studies. However many things are able to do so in the lab but fail in humans. Unfortunately, I have not found animal studies that would confirm that reservatol is useful as a supplement. It seems that 25% reservatol cream was also able to prevent HSV-1 herpes outbreaks from causing any visible signs on the skin. Reservatol definitely has an interesting potential.
However, I know another supplement that can block herpes replication even more effectively and even though I have not found animal studies either, I have experienced it myself and received solid feedback about it. It can really help suppress herpes in the long term. Reservatol could be an interesting alternative for people with cancer though.
December 3rd, 2009 at 1:05 pm
Does your new book address Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation? I read about it in a newsletter from a doctor, but I don’t know much about it. Also, does it discuss the topical use of garlic oil? Thanks for being helpful and thorough.
Nathalie says:
Sorry but no. My books cover only easy solutions you can use at home without any machines or specific equipement. I will cover this in another book. It does discuss garlic but not garlic oil. Garlic oil can unnecessarily burn your skin. I do not recommend using garlic in this form. It is much safer to use the right combination of internal and external treatment. It will reduce the need for very strong external salves.

Hola, mi nombre es Sabrina y estube buscando por internet, fue entonces que encontre tu blog, el cual me gusto mucho, el cual es bastante agradable para leer. Regreso la proxima semana para leerte de nuevo. Saludos Sabrina

I do not get frequent major out breaks but do get singular blisters sometimes the size of a pin head on my butt and legs. I would really like to find ways of preventing those. If there are methods that will work on the bigger outbreaks can I assume that this is the case with these smaller frequent blisters?
Nathalie Says:
Absolutely. It is a good thing that you are monitoring an area where you had previous herpes symptoms. This will greatly reduce your chances of transmitting herpes. It is possible to control herpes whether you have occasional large or frequent small blisters. It will take a little bit of your time at first but should take you less than 2 to 3 minutes a day after a few weeks if you are in good health condition.
November 29th, 2009 at 12:04 am
Hi my name is Sabrina. I was surfing and found your blog, which I liked very much, which is quite pleasant to read. I return next week to read you again. Greetings Sabrina
November 28th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
Dear Nathalie, thank you SO much for all that you do!! I got HSV-2 in 2004 quit sure of this; caught husband (now ex!!) Cheating, forgave him slept with him 10 days later extreemly sick for a fw days already
Was atepting sex but hurt too bad inside vagina, went to doctor and it was herpes was denied but she did say “be glad it isn’t herpes, then you would probably kill your husband, ha!”. No explanation of anything to me. A year later a difrent doc., and again, no mention of herpies. Third blister (yes an “out berak” for me is one inner vagianl blister) I went to a thired doctor who did all the same tests, blood and culture and it came up possitive for HSVI 1 and 2. My first questian is: on my lab results it says “pos. HSV-1 = 17.5″ and “pos. HSV-2 = 1.2″ what do these scores mean?? Since I have only ever had three outbreaks genitaly it seems like I have a low number which points to a “mild” case. My second question is have you ever heard of a cooralation between core body heat or dehydration and an out break? Both my second and third case were after working long and very days in the So. Cal. Summer sun. And being dehydrated. My doctor is in his 80’s, just a small town clinic doc. And knows NOTHING about herpies! I had to tell him what to prescribe me and how much! (Valtrex) I just found this site today so hopefully I will be learning new things. The best so far is “I am not alone!!!” Still single four years later and hateing that I loose everyone after I tell them I am HSV pos.
Nathalie says: Waow so much to say… If both your PCR and blood tests came back positive you are certain that you have herpes. Roughly, blood tests results show the number of antigens, your immune response to the HSV, that are present in the blood stream.
If you know you have herpes when being dehydrated then you have discovered one of your triggers. This means you will need to take a natural preventive treatment before going to the sun each an every time or avoid dehydration at all costs. The sun is a well known trigger for oral herpes but I have not heard of anything like this for genital herpes until today.
About dating, I have received several testimonials of women who got married, dated men who learned they had herpes and did not reject them… Love is a wonderful thing. Herpes is never an issue when you know deep inside of you that you are lovable so give it a try and learn how to love yourself no matter what. After all, you cannot control how people feel about you but you can control how you feel about yourself. Try dating again. Avoiding rejection is not a long-term solution. Not so many people will reject you and you just need one yes. One last point, it is possible to remain several years with someone and never transmit herpes to them. I have done it. You just need to learn how to do it.
Good luck and have fun!

In 1998, a doc told me that I had been exposed to HSV2 via blood test. However, the “initial” outbreak didn’t occur until 2008. Is it possible for a false positive on a blood test or is this just a case of some freak immune system? Thanks for your help and all you do.
Nathalie Says: Tests may not have been as reliable at the time as now. I would redo the test now and request an IgG specific test if you have any doubts. Today’s blood test false positive are very rare, usually less than 5%.

Hi Nathalie~
1) Do you have knowledge about traumatic brain injuries causing an increase in herpetic outbreaks? I have been so easily & heavily stressed since my TBI in 1989. I acquired herpes 2 in the year 2000. I have an outbreak almost every single day! Stress increases outbreaks, so to me — it makes sense as to why I cannot combat the outbreaks effectively. I take a ton of supplements and have been taking Valtrex for many years.
2) Do you recommend certain immune boosters for those with severe cases of outbreaks–in terms of frequency? There are so many cites that recommend certain supplements and of course a lot of companies that want to sell immune supp’s or herpes meds.
I spends hundreds and hundreds and… of dollars per year on vit’s, Rxs, and supplements. I am a recent Univ. of Mich MA graduate in Special Education, but there are no jobs around here — just loans to repay. Thanks if you can direct me to the best way to spend my $$! And — also if you have any info. on #1 Thank you for all that you do !
Nathalie Says: anything causing long-term stress will make herpes symptoms worse. I think that first you have to make sure it is really herpes causing you those daily symptoms. Even if you have herpes that does not mean you cannot have anything else causing similar symptoms. When symptoms last for ever it usually is not herpes. If it is herpes, then it is best to try the formula I recommend and stick to it for several weeks.
It seems in your situation that you may have a great fear of herpes. It is difficult to say from a distance but I have noticed that people who had the most symptoms kept focusing on the disease the most. In that situation, the person needs to operate a mind shift before healing can occur. What you need to focus is on the possibility to heal and have perfect health. It may sound like silly advice but try this for two weeks. Each time you think about herpes or bad health, repeat in your mind “perfect health” or “my health is improving every day”. You will have of course to do more than that but it should give you a head start towards an outbreak free life.

I got to your blog via Google while searching for anti itch home remedy on Wednesday and your post regarding Herpes Antidote » Ask Your Top 2 Herpes Questions Here looks very interesting to me.

I had been rather clean until I met my baby’s father Alex. I was diagnosed with herpes Feb.13,08 I was so upset. Filled with anger!! I have had a few out breaks,I am now taking Val. and I don’t like taking meds. I have noticed a weird smell from my private. I changed my soap, I have showered crazy and it is still here. What can I do to get rid of it????
October 21st, 2009 at 2:18 am
First i’d like to know what you think about the quick cure medi that i resonatly heard of. second; taking daly amounts of l lysine and protecting my self with abreva every night before bed help totaly prevent a nother out break,and Nathalie keep trying to make these siencetist come up with a cure and stop saling prescription meds
October 19th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
Hi Nathalie, thank you for your website and mailinglist. I just found out that I got herpes from my new boyfriend last week and I am devastated, feelings like regret, anger and sadness are thingd that I carry around 24/7. My boyfriend never had a breakout and didnt know he had it up until I had a terrible breakout so I know I should be mad at him but I cant help but feel as if my life was better before meeting him and being infected with the virus. I’m having a very hard time dealing with this and I would just like to know, how do you cope with the initial blow of learning you have herpes from now on, something that you will carry around for the rest of your life and may infect anybody you ever sleep with with? This thought makes it damn near unbearable for me
October 15th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
I recently was diagnosed with HSV1. I am pursuing a career in nursing. will this affect my ability to be a nurse? Will I be able to be a nurse with herpes?
October 12th, 2009 at 6:14 pm
Is it possible for herpes to lie dormant for a long period of time. I have had ED problems for over a year and me and my wife have not had sex in over a year. She is the only person I have ever had sex with. Yesterday I had a sore start under the head of my penis. I researched penis sores and this very much looks like Herpes. My wife has taken Valtrex for a long time for cold sores. we had a very active sex life including oral over a year ago. Could I still have herpes? you are right the first thoughts are embarassment and research.

I started out with genital herpes in ‘93 but now I rarely get ob there…it’s more common on one place along my spine in my lower back and sometimes on my buttocks (crack area) which is very painful…is this still considered HSV-2 (genital)??? Why has it moved?
October 12th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
Are there longterm side effects of Valtrex?
October 12th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
I’ve had Herpes since ‘93 and have taken Valtrex off & on for years to treat & supress. I get ob on my lower spine, buttocks (crack) and sometimes outside of my genitals. Lately, the skin & nerve pain I experience is so severe I have a hard time with normal daily functioning. I know an ob is coming cause I get sore patches of skin on different places in my body, then shooting nerve pain down my leg(s) to the tips of my toes. I STILL experience flu-like symptoms after all these years! This week, I’ve suppressed the ob but have had sore, tingling skin on my hip, across my thigh accompanied with shooting joint pain. The pain feels deep into my left hip bone! It aches so bad I can’t lay on that side & it’s difficult to walk around. I know the ob wants to come – sometimes I wonder if I should just let it come on instead of trying to suppress it…maybe afterward I’ll get relief!? Does anyone out there experience constipation & headaches along with ob’s? Is this from the high dosage of Valtrex or from the disease itself? Does anyone else experience what I describe here? I feel alone in this!
October 7th, 2009 at 11:54 pm
I found a website resolveherpes.com saying that it will remove herpes from your cells by a mineral detox. Is that legit?
When I have an outbreak, can the outbreak be transferred to other parts of my body? Can my clothes transfer the outbreak to other parts of my body?
thanks.
Nathalie Foy says:
Resolve herpes does not appear to be serious. You cannot make such strong claims without sufficient data proving efficiency. Reading from other people’s blog, it seems to be another scam trying to get as much money out of the herpes community as possible and a big disappointment to those who have bought it.
Your clothes will not transfer herpes to other parts of your body unless you wear them wet and rub from one spot to the other. I will have a new video on-line about reinfecting yourself. Watch my herpes question videos for more info.
October 2nd, 2009 at 5:23 pm
Hi, Natalie… Thank you so much for your amazing book. My wife and I are very curious: How is it possible to be in a long-term, monogamous relationship and then suddenly experience a primary outbreak? We had been exclusive with one another for over a year, never having had any “problems” before, when suddenly an outbreak and positive diagnosis occurred. (We’ve read several similar anecdotes, with some couples even experiencing their primary outbreak 10 or more years into a monogamous relationship). Curious as to what science and research say to this point. Thanks!
Nathalie Says:
You’re welcome. About 80% of people with herpes don’t know they have it and about 20% of them never have symptoms. That is why sometimes even if two members are perfectly loyal to one another, one of the partners starts getting symptoms after several months or years. This only means that one of the partners has transmitted herpes to the other without being aware of his/her condition. Of course, this could also indicate that one of the partners has been unfaithful and that possibility hurts the other partner even more. Nonetheless, it can and does happen to perfectly loyal partners because herpes can remain undiagnosed for years.
September 30th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
Thank you so much for ur quick reply. I purchased your book a few days ago and found it very helpful and inspiring. I really thank you for making this so much easier. If I have questions related on material in the book however where can I ask those questions?

This may be a strange question, but since smoking is another trigger to an outbreak, does that also include marijuana?
Nathalie Says:
Anything that will limit the oxygen levels in your blood is not good for you….
September 30th, 2009 at 7:47 am
Since we are supposed to be cutting chocolate and sweets from our diet does that also include dried fruits (Prunes, apricots, etc)??
Have you heard of Isagenix? They have an Isagenix greens drink which supplies you with many nutrients as well as a whole line of cleansing products. Any advice on that?
Nathalie Says:
You have to avoid taking sugar during an outbreak yes. Dried fruit are a source of sugar so it is best to avoid them during an outbreak. You can have them once in a while though, outside outbreak time.

I have just been diagnosed with genital herpes and my question is I know that herpes can be passed to your partner even when you don’t have symptoms so what do you do about oral sex? I am scared that if my b/f ever gives me oral again that he will get this. I’m new to all of this so any advise is appreciated!
Thank you.

natalie question one is
well my pregnant fiance has been clean all this time till about a month or so ago till all of a sudden her doctor said that her swab test from ehr little white spot on her vagina area was diagnosed with herpes
my question is shes pregnant what are some ways to keep from the baby getting this as well as me ?
the other one is after hearing that news i still havent seen or felt any symptoms of it on me how and what can i look for in more detail before testing can be done ?
Nathalie Says:
Your wife must absolutely get a blood test. It is very important to see whether she got herpes recently or not. Ask you doctor for a blood test for both of you. This is extremely important for the safety of your baby.

Hello There,
Are herpes zosters contagious? i get them often. Also i somehow have my outbreaks after my period…is this normal? after eating chocolate and nuts and drinking soda yesterday i started itching and small lessions appeared i did use a mixture of lavender spike,niaouli, and tea tree oil that i applied on the area…which i have been doing every night for weeks (before i sabotaged everything by neglecting my diet)…However it does relieves the itching but i do not see any real improvement..Any advice to make these lesions go away soon enough? Also i have been taking acyclovir twice a day for over six months now and i still have some outbreaks how come?

Corrine:
Hey Corrine.
I too was a victim of constant out breaks of hsv2. I found that yes chocolate is a big trigger and Lysine or Lysine + does not equal it out. I did cut out the chocolate and I take Lysine (3pills) once a day on an empty stomach. My dr told me that instead of doing 5 pills 5x a day of Acyclovir, take 2 pills = 400mg, 3x a day for three days. Its a stronger punch, and you dont have to take it for that many days. what i have found out it that all these herpes meds are released through our kidneys. so it vital that we drink a lot of water. stay away from soda and peanuts too. peanuts is also a huge trigger. i hope some of this is helpful to you.

September 6th, 2009 at 7:01 am
Hi, I have both genital herpes (caused by HSV 2) AND cold sores (cause by HSV 1). I am going crazy from the recurrent episodes for both types. Its so bad that I can get cold sores twice in a week. I take 400mg of acyclovir once the symptoms start for the cold sores (i.e. prodome stage) but I do not take it for the 5 days required. Just enough to see the symptoms disappear, which is usually in a day or two. My question is thus, will not taking the medication acyclovir 800mg for the 5 times per day for 5 days as indicated create some form of resistance of the herpes virus to the medication? Second question is, as I really love chocolate (and I know its a trigger) can I counteract the effects of chocolate by taking L-Lysine supplements? If so much much do I take such that it does not harm my body? Thank you so much!
August 26th, 2009 at 1:30 am
Have certain supplements become a permanent feature in your life and do the same supplements work for HSV-I and HSV-II?
Nathalie Says:
This is a tough question. I do take a supplement once a month but I will take more depending on the period. I have developed my own routine that seems to work very well. My top remedy is homeopathy but no remedy is a cure by itself. Most people miss the point trying to find the one remedy that works best. It is the right combination of remedies that you must find.
I think that some remedies are more specific for HSV-1 and others for HSV-2. Actually, this is confirmed by scientific research. I give that information in my book Herpes Wise that will be soon renamed Herpes Antidote.
May I suggest you listen to the teleseminar available on this blog to get extra information.
Do you recommend a highly restrictive diet (e.g., not even moderate alcohol, no dairy etc.)?
Nathalie Says:
This depends whether you are in a period where you are prone to outbreaks. If you are very close to having one very mild itching, flu like symptoms then a very strict diet is necessary for at least two weeks but I do drink wine, eat chocolate and even have a pizza once in a while.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:36 pm
angel: Have you had success with the product H Bomb?
Generally What is the most effective suppressive therapy?
Nathalie Says:
Are you sure it is H Bomb? I don’t think H Bomb cures anything. Did you mean H-Balm?
All medical suppressive therapies give very similar results. Even though a certain company would like you to believe that Valtrex is 10 times better. It is just more convenient.
August 13th, 2009 at 12:25 am
My outbreaks occur approximately every 4-5 months, for the last 3 years. They only occur on the right side of my Labia. Why only do they occur on one side of my body? And, may these eventually spread to other parts of my body including buttocks, stomach, breasts (as I have seen pictures of outbreaks in these areas).
August 13th, 2009 at 12:23 am
I have been with my partner for 4 years. My first indication that I had the virus (outbreak) was 1 year into our relationship, though he has not ever experienced any signs or symptoms. Could I have been infected with the virus for some time before my first outbreak?
Nathalie Says:
Hello Katie,
Yes.
It is impossible to date when a person was first infected past first 6 weeks of infection.
August 13th, 2009 at 12:19 am
Q1. Can the herpes virus affect or weaken other organs or parts of the body. ie eyes, digestion. In other words is your immune system further weakened and make you more vulnerable to infections and/or disease.
August 8th, 2009 at 10:12 pm

Hi Nathalie,
I have been having blisters for about three years (comes more than 6 times a year) and a couple of days before it comes, I get this sensation I can’t really describe. The blisters don’t really pain but are very uncomfortable.
Please is there a way to stop this from coming?
Nathalie Says:
Yes. There is a way to become outbreak free. I have now devoted more than 8 years of my life doing research on the matter. I cannot summarize everything here though. I can only suggest you give my herpes book a try. You can get it at http://www.herpes-wise.com
August 1st, 2009 at 10:08 am
I contacted herpes from my ex husband when I was 21.I am now 36 and I am just recently having issues with it. I could go years and years without one out break. now i seem to get them after my period. Is there a reason for that? Also I noticed on here that you mentioned “Most women who suffer from very frequent outbreaks have some form of parasite or fungi proliferation.” how does one know if they have a parasite? Can you explain that more to me. That is news to me. You also mentioned lubricant helps prevent the transmission… can you explain which ones might.. Thank you!
July 31st, 2009 at 5:55 am
Does applying ice to the area of tingling/itching work during prodrome to prevent an outbreak?
Why do doctors fail to explain that suppression of herpes actually slows down the body’s natural ability to ward off future episodes?
July 22nd, 2009 at 12:44 pm
I am in love with my ex, and we broke up because of my herpes and his lack of. So my questions to you are….Have you found someone to accept you with your herpes or are you still looking? And if you are still looking, how do you cope with the rejection?
Nathalie says:
Hello,
I wish I could explain all this in a paragraph but I can’t. All I can tell you is that I have received numerous success love stories
from people with herpes.
I have been with the same for eight years and he knows I have herpes.
It is absolutely certain you can find someone who will not reject you if you have herpes. Some people will reject your for any reason. Sometimes they will say it is herpes when it is not.
It is important that you think highly of yourself as a human being and as a partner. That I think will make you more
attractive than ever.
July 17th, 2009 at 8:50 pm
Hi, my husband and I both have genital herpes. The eruptions appear on our buttocks and/or thigh. At the moment we are both getting them at least every 3 weeks and it’s driving us crazy. We use Acyclovir cream, which helps with the pain, but what can we do. We’ve both had it for years now.
July 3rd, 2009 at 5:37 am
I never had the initial outbreak that everyone is talking about… I have had outbreaks and even went in to see the doctor and they did the scrap test but it came back showing no herpes. I have had other outbreaks since then and just had a full STD blood work done but never got a call back from the doctor. Can this be something else and if so what else could it be?
June 29th, 2009 at 5:05 pm
I was diagnosed with type 1 genital herpes, and since then i seem to always have either an outbreak or the costant iching and lesions. I was precibed valtrex and zovirax, bu tfeel they are not helpful I am looking for homeopathic remidies to ease the pain. My questions are:
1- What is the best homeopathic remedy in treating genital herpes?
2- HOw is possible to concieve a baby when you seem to always have an outbreak, and are to not have intercourse during an outbreak?
Nathalie says:
What is the best homeopathic remedy in treating genital herpes?
You don’t want the best but the right for you. I recommend a combination of remedies not just one remedy. My favorite is a nosode but it does not work alone.
HOw is possible to concieve a baby when you seem to always have an outbreak, and are to not have intercourse during an outbreak?
I guess it is not if you do not want to infect your partner. It seems you need to control herpes first. Depending on your health condition you should be able to fully suppress herpes within 6 months naturally. Homeopathy is wonderful and can help you but needs to be combined with diet and lifestyle changes….
Also you need to first get rid of yeast infection, parasites and hormonal imbalances if present. These along with sleep deprivation, long-term stress and relationship problems can make herpes very hard to stop.
Most women who suffer from very frequent outbreaks have some form of parasite or fungi proliferation.
June 29th, 2009 at 3:34 am
my 2 questions are (1) how to i avoid giving herpes to my partner and (2)have the found a cure as yet.
June 28th, 2009 at 2:25 am
Will it really work? i don’t have med. insurance. how can i get it? can i get it over the counter (OTC)?
June 27th, 2009 at 1:48 am
im not sure if i have herpes. i know i need to get checked but i dont have the time. i have little pimple like things and some are white. it used to itch and but now it dosnt. is this herpes?
Nathalie Says:
Could be. I cannot give a diagnosis on line and it is not my purpose. You should ask your doctor to do so. You can ask every person on the Internet, you will not get a proper answer until you visit your doctor and get some form of test.
June 25th, 2009 at 2:29 am
I just found out today that I have genital herpes, but I don’t think I’ve experienced an outbreak. I have been prone to boils before and was curious if it can look and act like a boil? Also, is there any way to figure out how long I have had herpes?
Nathalie says:
Herpes can cause blisters filled with pus that can be confused with some form of acne but they feel much more like blisters. I would not think boils are related to herpes but it is hard to tell from a distance.
is there any way to figure out how long I have had herpes?
If you had a blood test no. If you had some form of swab or culture test maybe. If your viral culture or PCR test is positive and your blood test is negative, this means you acquired herpes less than 6 weeks ago.
May 31st, 2009 at 11:12 am
I am having my first outbreak of genital herpes, i am in a lot of pain and can not even walk it is that painful and sore.
1. what pain relief is there?
2. is there any treatment out there to get rid of the virus?
Nathalie says:
1. About herpes pain I suggest you read this page about herpes pain
2. A herpes cure? Actually, I am starting to think there might be one but it is none of the miracle cures you see online, not MMS, not ozone, not lysine, not rubbing alcohol…. It is too early for me to disclose that information. I can only tell you it costs much more than the solutions I present and should not be done at home. I am combining different research results to see if this solution is really reliable.
May 30th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
I found out I had herpes after having sex with an exboyfriend. Before that, I hadn’t been w/ anyone in 1 1/2 years. I guess the intercourse activated the dormant virus in my body because he doesnt have it. I’ve been taking Valtrex for 9 months and it seemed to be working w/ no outbreaks for 7 months and now for the past 2, I’ve had 3 instances where I’ve been extremely itchy and rashy, some swelling too. I cant seem to get rid of this even though I take the double dose of Valtrex, Lisine, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
May 26th, 2009 at 2:00 am
I am in love with my ex, and we broke up because of my herpes and his lack of. So my questions to you are….Have you found someone to accept you with your herpes or are you still looking? And if you are still looking, how do you cope with the rejection?
May 25th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
What can I take naturally to get rid of herpes completely?
I take L-Lysine, but it hasn’t helped me. I do not want to take prescription drugs. I haven’t been active since December, 2008. What can I do to comfortably get back to a sex life again?
Nathalie says:
I am sorry but these two questions are too broad for me to reply to them here. I have written a whole book on the subject and a major update is now on the way. All I can say here is that to get back to your normal sex life again you need to
learn how to become asymptomatic because the fewer symptoms you have, the less likely you are to transmit herpes.
learn to recognize times you are more likely to go through asymptomatic shedding
learn real solid facts about herpes transmission
use a certain lubricant that is likely to reduce your risk of transmitting herpes.
May 25th, 2009 at 2:37 am
I would like to know should I anticipate on ever getting married again?
How can I expect someone to be with me since I have herpes? I don’t know how to even explain this to someone without feeling embarrassed.
Nathalie says:
Hello Dear,
There are plenty of people who marry people with herpes. You just need to be upfront about it and tell the truth.
May 23rd, 2009 at 2:59 am
Hi,
I contracted the herpes virus 5 years ago and my first year was pretty unbearable. However, over the past 4 years I have had maybe one or two outbreaks. About 3 weeks ago I had an MRI for some back pain and found out that I herniated my L5 S1 disc and was told to quit working out until the bulge resolved itself, and if it hasn’t resolved itself in 4 months I will need surgery. I also started a new job and a new birth control one month ago.
1 week ago I had itching, tingling, and a bump. I increased my daily Lysine supplement and made an appt with my doctor to get Valtrex. However, 3 days ago a full blown outbreak started and I also started my period. I have 6 major ulcers/lesions on my vagina and it is extremely red and swollen. I cannot urinate without crying, cannot walk, and have had to call in sick to work. This outbreak is worse than my initial outbreak 5 years ago.
My questions are:
1. I know that the herpes virus lies dormant in the base of the spine. Could the herniation of my L5 S1 (which is at the base of my spine) caused the virus to “wake up”?
2. I know that the stress of my new job, the birth control, my period and the lack of exercise certainly contributed to my outbreak, but is it normal for a recurrent outbreak to be worse than the initial outbreak, and is it normal for the lesions/ulcers to be so large that they cover your entire vagina?
Nathalie Says:

I don’t think so.

Recurrent outbreaks can be much worse than the first one, yes. This was the case for me at first.
Lesions should not cover the entire vagina. If it is the case, you may have something else present like a yeast infection for example.
I do not take birth control because it makes my leg veins too painful. Hormonal changes can cause herpes to become active. I would have to take a closer look at the matter but I believe that birth control can influence herpes outbreak severity and frequency by changing estrogen and prostaglandin levels whether directly or not.
Stress can alter your hormonal balance and cause vitamin and mineral deficiency, cause lack of sleep… After a certain time stress can promote outbreaks.
If I were you I would start some sort of daily running. Running or cardio-training can really help lower your stress levels if you do it at least half an hour 3 times a week but you can start at 10 minutes every day, anything that seems achievable. I like to run and jump on a small rebounder because it protects my veins and my joints but you can choose any exercise of your liking.
There are many more things you can do to put herpes to sleep. I just don’t have the space to explain it all here. However you seem to be in a lot of pain and I wish you to get better soon.

Nathalie says:
Hello Yovani,
You have to take this matter seriously and tell your doctor immediately.
Women who get herpes 4 weeks before delivery are at the greatest risks of transmitting
herpes to their newborn babies.
This means you cannot have physical contact with her within at least 8 weeks
before delivery.
The immune system needs at least 6 weeks to create an immune response to the virus.
For safety reasons, I would not have physical contact with her from now on
until delivery.
You must take this matter very seriously. It is very important she should discuss this with her doctor.

Q1: Was is your opinion of Dynamiclear?
Q2: Can your natural remedies be used in conjunction with Valtrex (im currently on suppressive therapy)?
May 13th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
Does resolveherpes realy work?
May 10th, 2009 at 6:32 am
1. Is it possible to create complications if you masturbate while having an outbreak?
2. If you have recurring outbreaks, is there any way to practice safe sex, or is sex just off the table?
May 3rd, 2009 at 2:20 pm
I am having an awful outbreak. Because my insurance doesn’t cover any medications except Zovirax capsules. I started taking them after the outbreak was full blown. Is there something over the counter and topical to make me more comfortable?

Hunter: I was diagnosed in college. I though I had no chance of a normal life with marriage and children. I got married and had 3 beautiful daughters without any problems to them. We were married for 17 years and after about 10 years he started having cold sores. We became less vigilant I think. Herpes is not the end of life.

Hi Natalie,
I just found out I had herpes two weeks ago. I’ve been embarrassed and stressed ever since. I’m not sure if my boyfriend has it just yet (he’s waiting on results). My questions are 1.) I dont remember ever having an outbreak before. From what I’ve read, they would be hard to miss. Since this is the case, is there less of a chance my boyfriend may have herpes too? 2.) Are herpes always visible? Could the sores be inside the vagina rather than on the surrounding skin? If so, how would I be able to tell I’m having an outbreak?
April 30th, 2009 at 2:06 am
#1: How do you distinguish between herpes and razor burn?
#2: How effective is Valtrex? I’m taking it now, but I’m unsure as to how well it is working. I keep feeling the same “tingling” feelings as often as I did before taking the medicine.
April 26th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
Does herpes lead to other ilnesses? I have had a range of symptoms and not sure if they are all connected some how?? symtoms: diziness, blurred vision, burning skin, fatigue and common itching and pain.
April 22nd, 2009 at 5:15 pm
I believe I suffer from oral herpes, but not genital herpes. 1) Are there any steps to take to ensure this doesn’t spread to my sex organs?
It seems that my lips are very dry and cracked constantly. I try to keep them medicated and healthy the best I can but one thing can cause an entire outbreak. 2) How do I keep my lips from being dry and cracked? Is it a diet thing?
Thank you all so much.
April 18th, 2009 at 7:18 am
#1. how to stop outbreak!
#2. Do ur cure take a long time to complete?
April 14th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
I suppose that if I have to narrow it down to only two questions, they would be as follows…
I have tried nearly everything that I have found that looks promising (short of prescription meds, I prefer natural remedies), and I have also researched this virus quite extensively. So far nothing has proven to be 100% effective, in fact, it seems as though everything only begins to work for a short amount of time, and then outbreaks still persist, with similar severity each time. I feel like improper diet is the major cause of my outbreaks, but there are two conflicting dieting techniques that I have been looking into…1-high Lysine diet, and 2-high alkaline diet. Which of these is better, and how long should it take for my body to effected by the diet.
My other question is, is there a number one topical product that you would recommend, because I am finding that I am never one of the ’success stories’ you read about in the product testimonials?
Thanks.
April 14th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
I wonder if herpes infection make a residual hiperpigmention or not?I had pruritic and burning lession above my glans after last sex 8 months before and it caused a residual brown pigmention on my glans penis..I went to dermatology professor he said that it maybe fix drug eruption?? but I suspect to it maybe herpes..!!thats important for me cause I wonder if I have herpes or not?anybody is there who have a residual hiperpigmention like me ? you maybe saw many patient whose has hsv!! please answer me natalie…
April 4th, 2009 at 6:26 pm
I am unsure how to detect prodrome symptoms because I seem to have them all time in between outbreaks. I have a kind of mold in my body (similar to yeast) that causes vaginal soreness, itching, and anal fissures. The severity varies, but it seems to be a somewhat constant issue which makes it difficult to detect an outbreak of the herpes before a lesion appears. I am working with a naturopath to treat both mold and virus issues, making diet changes, taking super lysene plus and getting acupuncture. Any suggestions?
March 25th, 2009 at 8:42 pm
Hi, my two questions are as follows; 1. Is it possible 2 have unprotected sex and still have a baby if u have genital herpes with no worries? 2. Are there otha diseases that may look like herpes and if so is it possible that a doctor mite diagnoise you with herpes even if it may be another disease ?
March 24th, 2009 at 5:13 pm
My questions are, I get these little pimple like spots on the skin nearest the head of the penis, I am uncircumsised, so it is on the skin not the head of the penis, and on my inner thighs, it starts out itching then a little whitehead sort of pimple and it is usually red looking very small, usually two spots.So is this herpes? How can I get rid of this quickly, i have been to the doctor but he hasnt said it is herpes which is odd, he gave me Clotrimazole and Betamethasone Dipropionate cream 1%. it usually seems to go away eventually, but takes to long as far as I am concerned. I have also taken a pill also but cant remember what the name is. I do eat lots of mixed nuts, and eat chocolate on occasions. Please HELP
Nathalie Says:
It could be herpes. If your symptoms keep coming back at the same spot, you have a fair chance it is herpes. It is impossible to diagnose herpes through the Internet though. If you don’t trust your doctor’s judgment, please consult another one or better get a blood test. Avoiding peanuts and chocolate is a good idea but won’t be enough. Ed, please make sure you have herpes before trying treating it. If you doctor says it is not herpes, there is a fair chance that it is not.
March 23rd, 2009 at 3:36 pm
hello natalie..thanks for sharing your experiences.? m a doctor..sorry my english is not enough but ? will try to explain.there were a multi-vesicüler lesion above glans(head) of my penis 15 day after my last sex.it was painful and itching.? thought that thats a fungal infection before and ? used anti-fungals.but it didnt work..then ? went a dermatology prof..? check my blood test.hsv1 was positive but hsv2 negative.? didnt check my tzanck test..but prof told me it may be genital hsv1.it caused a big brown pigment on my glans penis..is there any treat method of clean that pigment. and do ? have to use condom everytime.? will marry with my gf..what should ? do for prevent transmission to her..what will happen about my sex quality? ? m very deppressed now.? dont know how do ? live??
March 11th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
Hi,
Thanks for your time. I was diagnosed with genital HSV 1 about a month ago. I don’t know where I got it. I’m 56 years old, I’ve been single for 3 years and I’m sexually active. The pain and discomfort were really bad but I started taking Valtrex and everything seemed to heal in about 2 weeks. I had sex with my partner and within a couple of days I began to experience itching. I thought it was irritation from the condom because I have really sensitive skin, but I think now it was a prodrome. We had sex again the following weekend and now I have a full blown outbreak. This time it was not in any way as bad as the first. I guess like everyone else, I want to know if I can eliminate the outbreaks? But I also want to know if you think I may have had sex too soon? I want to protect my partner, if it isn’t already too late. And I would also like to know if there is any safe time for oral sex without protection? Is that three questions? Sorry about that.
March 7th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
is this where i ask questions?
i have hep c also can any of the naturl treatments for herpes hurt my liver?
Nathalie says:
This is an excellent question. Yes! certain herbal treatments have side-effects and if you do not pay attention, you may hurt your liver while trying to suppress herpes. Some chaparral extracts can hurt the liver for example. That’s why it is important you choose SAFE supplements to treat and prevent herpes. I give clear instructions in my book Herpes Wise on which natural treatment to use, what is 100% safe and what is borderline.
Some supplements recommended for herpes are very dangerous and no one should use them. I feel really sad that some people seem ready to use anything to get rid of herpes even if it ends up causing them even more health problems.
I feel like most naturopaths when it comes to treating herpes.
Verify that it is safe first and then if it is effective.
That being said, you are unique and you may experience side-effects where no one else does. It is also important to tell your doctor about all the supplements you’re taking, especially if you are being treated for a chronic condition. An herb or supplement may interfere with medication. That’s why it is always good to keep monitoring your health while using a natural treatment.
March 4th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
I have type 1 and have not had an outbreak in over 6 years. No triggers are going on and now all of a sudden I have a blister (around my pubic area). I am out of valtrex, but have amoxicillian, would that work for this?
February 26th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
1) is valtrex worth it?
2) is there anyway i can remove the red spots that are showing up on my lips?
i kinda wanted to keep this a secret. its tough though when i look like i have 4 bloodclots in my upper lip. i thought this only affect the genitals? any advice?
February 12th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
ben: Just like to begin by saying thank you Nathalie for taking the time and replying to my question. Also would like to add i like what your doing i think its great. Theres not much chance of you ever knowing somebody else with the same heavily gaurded secret as your own but your website has made me feel that im not so alone and dont need to suffer in silence anymore.
A couple of things have changed in my life recently and i believe them to my possible triggers. Im not sure about the first one(it may sound a bit silly but i thought i’d run it by you to see what you think?)…I was given an xbox for christmas and i really do get into some of the games to the point that i get goose bumps and sweaty palms..lol..so im thinking this isnt good and could be a trigger.
The other change in my life which is a bigger facter is my partner and i are going through a real rough patch at the moment, With regular arguments but recently i think i read something on website about controlling your temper and trying to be more carm. Which i have been putting to practise and touch wood i think it may be helping control my outbreaks.
February 12th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
oh i forgot to tell u!!
i recently moved to a new city in india!! after getting married 8 months back..
i am feeling a little better after doing regular pilates for bout 45 min, 4 times a week

February 11th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
My partner still wants to have oral sex with me. Is there a way that we can do that when I am symptom free? I currently take Valtrex can we have unprotected sex and not transmit herpes to him?
February 10th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
Hi,
so i just got tested and was told by my health care provider that i’m Herpes positive,but was told there no cure to this virus which i dont believe.
My question here is; Is there any cure to Herpes,if so, how?
Q.2. Where do i find medication(s) to this?
February 5th, 2009 at 5:00 am
Hi there,
I have already seen it somethere

Hi Nathalie, i’v had herpes now for almost nine years. I am currently 32. My first ever outbreaks were weekly. I was treated with acciclovir for 12 months. This treatment was very affective at suppressing my outbreaks. Once coming off the treatment obviously they returned but more controlled and i was able to go two or three months between them. Which i could live with but this year my outbreaks seem to have gone crazy, just like my first ever outbreaks. They now have gone back to being weekly. My diet is still the same. It is high in protein, as i do weight training but it always has been. Why the sudden change?. Has the virus just found a new way to get past my ammun system. Have you experienced this or heard of any similar patterns like this before.
Nathalie Says :
Hello Ben,
Stress can do this sometimes. Did you move, get married, changed jobs, loose someone? These situations can cause long-term stress which is a major herpes promoting factor.
If you take a lot of meat protein, it will be harder for you to keep herpes under control, especially if you have another trigger like long-term stress being active.
It may be something else but yes several people who were experiencing the same thing as you did contacted me.
If you exercise too much, your immune system stops functioning normally. You can research this. I have and I can tell you that excessive exercise can also contribute to increase the severity of outbreaks. This is something to consider if you are an athlete.
The right supplementation along with the right remedies should give you enough support to remain symptoms free though.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
jo: I had one bad outbreak and thought I was gong to get another but I never got the sores – my gential area really hurt for about one week though. Sometimes when I am tired my genital area throbs and I take a whole bunch of vitamin c for a couple of days and get enough rest and it goes away without me getting the sores. Can I still give HPV 2 to others if I don’t get the sores?
Nathalie says:
There are times when you have herpes on your skin without any visible symptoms like blisters or redness. At that time you can transmit herpes.
Vitamin C and rest is a good idea.
January 26th, 2009 at 1:27 am
What should I look for before an outbreak. everyone keeps saying if you get to it before the itching and burning. But how do you know before this if there are no symtoms???
What shouldn’t I eat???
Nathalie says:
Excellent question! I have covered the subject extensively in the upcoming revision of my book Herpes Wise. Let me give you a hint here. Pay attention to your common triggers. That’s how you can predict outbreaks.
January 25th, 2009 at 2:58 am
I have recently started dating a woman who has HBV-2. I am an HBV-2 negative male. what would you recommend for someone starting to enter a relationship with someone with herpes? Also, are there oral outbreaks possible for HBV-2, more specifically if I engage in oral sex with someone with HBV-2 (obviously not during an outbreak) is there a risk I can contract HBV-2 as oral herpes and mouth lesions?
Nathalie says:
I’m a bit confused. Do you mean HSV-2? HSV-2 oral herpes happens in less than 1% of times. If I remember correctly, the probability of ever getting a cold sore from HSV-2 is 0.01%. It is so rare that my gynecologist who has worked all her life treating STDs admitted that it was a big event in her hospital to encounter a case of HSV-2 oral herpes. You can find research on the subject on the University of Washington website.
January 14th, 2009 at 6:58 pm
Have you seen the website, resolveherpes.com ? this is a 48 day homeopathic mineral detox that claims to rid your body of herpes completely and states to take pre and post blood work to prove it? It almost sounds too good to be true. Is it worth the 300$?
Nathalie says: I’m not going to tell you much about it. I do not know and I would stay away from it. Last time someone told me he had found a $300 cure, he only got cured of the $300 in his pocket. I have seen so many companies claim that fine treatment was the cure. This was false. If you want to try another supposedly miracle cure why don’t you try MMS (miracle mineral solution). At least, it is more affordable. I do not know much about it either but I’m looking into it.
As far as blood tests are concerned, once the body has created antigens against a certain pathogen, here herpes, it doesn’t stop producing it so I wonder what miracle proof they got out of their hat. Even if antigen concentration is low, this doesn’t prove you have been cured.
January 4th, 2009 at 5:44 pm
I have never had a blister, sore, or very noticeable pimples on my vagina ever. I had sex with my boyfriend three days in a row and now I have severe pain when i urinate and sores that have white puss in them and something almost near my butt hole. Could he have given me herpes and if so why is he completely fine?
Nathalie Says:
Dear Sasha,
About 70% to 80% of people who have herpes are not aware of it and about 20% of them never experience symptoms. If blisters are present you should ask your doctor to do a swab test to check if you have herpes. Your boyfriend should also get a herpes blood test. It is too early for you get one now though.
December 22nd, 2008 at 12:12 am
Hi, I have HSV1 genital but have bad recurrences. My doctor told me that my body will build up some immunity against it but at the moment it is ruining my life so ive began taking suppressive therapy. Does taking antivirals affect my body building immunity against herpes? Please answer. Thank you.
Nathalie Says:
The long-term impact of suppressive therapy is uncertain as most studies don’t go beyond a year. Suppressive therapy will not build your immunity against herpes. It suppresses herpes from replicating. As soon as you stop taking it, you are likely to shed herpes as you did before. However, it is true that most people tend to have fewer symptoms with time. If this is not your case and you’re concerned about medical treatment side-effects, I suggest you read my book Herpes Wise and learn how to prevent herpes naturally.
December 14th, 2008 at 4:22 am
my question is… When I finally (if I ever) get back into a relationship with a man again… How do I tell him before we have sex that I have Herpes without him running scared. I don’t know if I can do it, it totally sucks and will be so embarressing. I would never not tell the next person I am with that I am HSV 2 positive. I have not been with anyone sine the last jerk I was with gave me herpes. I feel like my whole love life is over. If it was turned around and I was clean and was told that the person I was about to sleep with had herpes I know that I probably would not risk it, so I don’t see how anyone is ever going to want to be with me unless with a miracle they say “that’s ok I have herpes too” that will never happen. I’m just very depressed about the whole thing. SOmetimes I don’t even know why I’m dating since I’m not gonna have the balls to tell him I have herpes and I’m not going to sleep with him either.
November 10th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
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.
November 1st, 2008 at 10:45 am
Hello,

But once I put my hands on a womens genitals on a dance floor and then a few weeks laster i notice i had a leison on my penis and for the last 3 months i have been getting more leisons.

October 26th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
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?
October 24th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
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.

October 12th, 2008 at 2:17 am
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?
October 9th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
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?
October 6th, 2008 at 6:40 am
Is there a way to completely get rid of the herpes virus?
Occasionally, I have noticed tiny white puss bumps in differ areas of my body, are these bumps cause by HSV? if so how can i keep them off?
October 5th, 2008 at 1:21 am
Can we prevent transmission of HSV-2 by a pre-sex soapy shower or bubble bath?
October 5th, 2008 at 1:04 am
My research leads to something called Dynamiclear. Is this worth trying?
September 25th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
I want to know how I can make sure that my partner doesn’t get it because even with condoms it can be transmitted. How can I fix this. Is thier anything that stop symtoms period.
September 24th, 2008 at 9:45 am
What I would like to know is… How is it that I am having outbreaks and my partner isn’t… he has no symptoms that we are aware about…. Contracted the virus from him.
September 21st, 2008 at 7:40 pm
1.in what bodily fluids is the virus found?i don’t want to transmit this virus unknowingly.is it saliva,vaginal secreations,sperm,or blood?
2.is there any possibility based on resent research that this virus will ever be cured?
September 19th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
First question is should I not have sex never no more. Second question I should not kiss anyone no more I was just diganose with hsv1 and 2.
September 8th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
i keep hearing that type 2 could be mistaken for type 1, do you think i should redo blood test to make sure i only have type 1?
thank you

Hello Nathalie,
My questions Dating, dating, when to tell, how to tell. This is painfull to think about. I told a new boyfriend. We are friends now, he does not know what to do. I had herpes for 30 years and I never infected any of my partners. After 35 years, my new boyfriends is scared and honestly I understand him. If it does not work with him…. I do not want to go trough again that pain…..
Thank you for your reply.
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.
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?
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 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 16th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
Melanie: This will not do anything except potentially exacerbate his symptoms, please do not
August 16th, 2008 at 9:15 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 9:11 pm
This will not do anything except potentially exacerbate his symptoms, please do not
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 9:29 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!!

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 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 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 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 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 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.
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
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 22nd, 2008 at 5:54 pm
“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?

Hi Tracie, it’s best to be honest and afford her the opportunity of making an informed decision. If she decides not to be with you…I know it will be hurtful but, know she wasn’t the “one” for you. Magic Johnson and his wife, Cookie, are an example of true love. She could have left him when she found out he was HIV+…and still got money…but, she chose to stay because she loves him. My friend’s brother contracted herpes from his wife yet, they have been married for 25 years…that’s love. Know that God has someone for you who will love you unconditionally.

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,

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 7th, 2008 at 7:20 am
have u heard of biogetica products.They claim to be able to cure.
Nathalie: Yes I have. They are NOT a cure but some of them are interesting herpes treatment. You can get them cheaper somewhere else. I give that information in the new edition of Herpes Wise. I think homeopathy is great to help suppress herpes but saying it can cure herpes is just a BIG LIE.
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.

June 4th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
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 2nd, 2008 at 8:20 am
Herb:
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.

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.

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.

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 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!

Kevin:
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 11:09 am
kate: Hello Kate,
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.

Pat:
I eat all of those and I only have an outbreak about every five years.
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 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 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 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 22nd, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Hey thanks Alex,
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 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 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.

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 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,

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.

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 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

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?
