Hey Everyone,
I just heard of another natural way of treating H.
Do a search for more information but here is a passage from an article regarding black tea and its anti viral effect on herpes!

"Some of those benefits may even include killing human viruses. Research by Milton Schiffenbauer, PhD, a professor of biology at Pace University in New York, shows that different black teas and iced tea drinks may actually destroy certain human viruses like herpes simplex type I and II. Adding tea extract to mouthwash and toothpaste enhances their antiviral effect.

Chemicals in tea may inactivate viruses by destroying their outer protein coat, Hamilton-Miller explains. But he warns that the antiviral activity of tea in the lab may not necessarily translate into a therapeutic effect in humans."

(heard from a doctor that if you drink black tea, don't add milk or sugar as it will negate the effectiveness of it)
