YES! It can be done.

If you are struggling with outbreaks or unsure when the next one is going to 'pop' up then it is vital that you read this information and become familiar with what options you have to control this virus.

There is no need to lose hope -- there are hundreds of ways to overcome this virus and to fight the physical (and emotional) roller-coaster that sometimes comes with it.

Here is a summary of the products that our support service have found to be most effective over the last nine years, both conventional and alternative.

If you are struggling with your outbreaks, you may just need to find the right combination to make it work for you.  There are fact sheets on all of the products and approaches that we mention here if you are interested in researching them further.

FACT 1 - The duration of a herpes or cold sore outbreak (and the time in between each outbreak) will vary greatly from person to person.   Once every 3 months is the "average" rate of recurrence... but if you are very lucky (or have a super strong immunity against the virus), you may not ever have a recurrence. 

Unfortunately, sometimes outbreaks can be more frequent than once every 3 months.  Some women find that their outbreaks sometimes coincide with their monthly menstrual cycle, for example.  However, this is not typical and only happens in particularly acute cases.

FACT 2 - The frequency and severity of attacks will normally come down to your own body and how well it deals with the herpes virus.  Factors such as your immune system, the strand and location of the virus, stress, lifestyle and what treatment (if any) that you are using.

Approaches that are working well for many people...

To help put a stop to outbreaks:

1) Suppressive Herpes Medications can help you to manage your outbreaks and are available by prescription from your Doctor.  They can be very effective in treating and preventing symptoms, as well as reducing the risk of transmission.  You will need to consult your Doctor to determine if these are a suitable option for you.

2) Products like Dynamiclear, Essential Oils, Lysine and Immune Support are alternative treatments that are available without a prescription. They can help to shorten the pain and length of an outbreak, and if used consistently, can assist your body in fighting off future attacks.

3) Diet and Lifestyle changes can also be helpful in managing herpes. Good rest, moderate exercise and a diet high in Lysine will assist your body in fighting the virus and strengthening your immune system against herpes.

4) There are specific Herbs and Supplements that you can take to boost your body’s natural immune function against viruses like herpes.  This is a natural but effective way to help fight off outbreaks.

5) If you are having an outbreak right now and do not have access to treatment at the moment, check out our list of Herpes Home Remedies and you will find some simple ideas that might help to relieve the pain and discomfort.

For Emotional Relief:

1) Join our Support Forum and talk to other people who are going through similar situations or who have been there before.  Let it all out!  We are here to listen and offer support.

2) If you are having trouble sleeping we recommend taking Valerian Forte an hour before you go to bed.  This is a natural sleeping tablet that we have found to work very well, with little to no morning drowsiness.

3) Living with herpes and particularly the initial diagnosis can be very mentally draining at times.  If you find that you are feeling depressed and have the weight of the world on your shoulders you may want to look into trying a temporary, non-habit forming product that helps, such as  Bach's Rescue Remedy.  There are also natural "mood enhancers" that can help to normalize your thinking and gently avert negative thoughts, such as Thompsons Mood Manager.

4) Read our tips on Building and Maintaining Your Self-esteem.  At the end of the day, Herpes is simply a measly, annoying virus!  Life is a long adventure and this is just another issue that can be overcome with the right frame of mind.  Hang in there, and
