I've been following the posts on this board for a while. I've taken in some very useful info from everyone here. I found out I have H type 1 and 2 about 5 months ago. For a while I was having all kinds of weird health issues and could never figure what it was. I get tested for std's every month as I used to be an adult entertainer, but I was always tested with Igm tests and not Igg, so all my tests were always neg. Finally figured out part of my health problems were due to H. I decided not to take any of the conventional suppressive meds and tried several natural remedies. This board led me to OOO, OLE, l-lysine, h2o2, dmso. I was getting severe outbreaks almost every 2 weeks...and little ones after every sexual encounter. It took a while cuz at first I overloaded my system and had even worse outbreaks, but with lots of experimenting to see what combo worked best for me...I've finally got it down to where I just get the tingly feeling...usually right before my period and right after sex, but even that is subsiding. I wanna start adding coconut oil into my diet as well to see if that helps at all. Just wanna say thanks to everyone for the info, it helps to hear everyone's stories.

what type of health issues were you having and did you suspect this more than 5 months ago?? Just asking no pressure

So what natural supplements have you settled on? I started doing the same thing, bankrupting myself on vitamins and finding that now I just have a constant stomach ache and still seem to be succeptible to OB's. And I htink it may be cause I have overtaxed my system (and stress constnatly about everything)

wehh I was into every thing that was mentioned here and I really was not having ob then and I thought what I was doing was helping it to stay dormant but I could not tell cause there was nothing to test it out on but whooo now I CAN ACTUALLY SEE SOMETHING but I am broke now. I think that I will start off with what I know works and what will fit in my budget. #1 I know that the garlic oil works. and I think that I will use the remaining ooo THAT i HAVE AND see about getting some more bUT i REMEMBER SOMEONE SAYING THAT YOU SHOULD not take Lysine with something else but now I can't remember what it was. But i think that that is what I will be doing and the peroxide thing. I really did not have a chance to experiment on a gen ob but hey I guess I won the prize.

I was having constant headaches and numbness in my thigh that went down to my foot, discharge that looked like a bacterial infection(but it never was)I was breaking out on my face, butt and back,i would get hot and cold flashes...so many different things were wrong with me and it seemed like it happened all at once. For about a month I was constantly going to the DR trying to figure out what was wrong. But all my tests were neg. Once I found it was H and started taking oils and supplements, everything got instantly worse...rashes,bad breakouts, itchiness, numbness...but I persisted with OOO, OLE, and Lysine(I take Lysine and OLE at different times of the day, if you take them at the same time-they almost counteract each other) It took a while before I found the right dose of each that was right for me. On top of that I spray H2O2 everyday, and use DMSO about once a week(everyday if I feel any tingle)The last time I had a bump in my genital area I tried OOO directly on the bump. It stung like HELL, but the pain and irritation went away, and it didn't develop into a rash like it normally does. I feel 200% better...and still improving :D

Thanks for saying that I heard that OLE and Lysine ( although) I did not remember what it was that you should not take it with at the same time was. Any way how long do you wait until you take either of the other and how did you know what was the "right" dosage for you.

Also how long did it sting from the OOO and was it an open sore or just a bump??What would you rate it on a scale of one to ten. I have an open sore that I can actually see and I think that it has been there for at least a week and I am tired of this crap I will be doing some experimenting on this when Ii get home tonight. But here is another Question where do you get your stuff from?? Do you odere it off of the inter net or do you buy it from a health food store?? And what brand of product do you use.

So Lemmie get this straight.Well lets do it like this would you mind going over your regimine with what you take like the OOO, how many drops, OLE and lysine how many pills and when do you wse h20. Another question how do you feel about using the dmso did you have any die off reactions and what do you think is helping the most??

I get all my stuff at this little pharmacy that specializes in natural therapies and homeopathy. They are by far the cheapest and the products are the best that I've found. I have settled on taking 1000 mg of Lysine when I first wake up. I take about 5 drops of OOO and 500 mg of OLE about an hour before lunch. I also take some at night before I go to bed. If I start feeling weird I take 2000mg of lysine in the morning and 2000mg at night and OOO and OLE 3x a day at least three hours apart from the Lysine(that gets a little confusing) I always spray with H2O2 in the morning after I shower, at night before I go to bed, and after sex. I use the DMSO about once a week or if I get that tingly feeling.(At first I used it every day 2x a day for about a month, but now just once a week)
The first month I took the OOO and OLE every couple hours, I didn't start the H2O2 til the next month, and then I cut back on the OOO and OLE. I had severe die off. I bombarded my system with the stuff, but I kept with it. After I had a few horrible back to back OB's, I broke out in bumps in a line all up my spine. I haven't had anything but a tingly feeling since. I'm still using everything till I run out and then I'll see how I do without taking anything.

Well I have not tried anyting other than peroxide. I mean I was kinda chicken to try the ooo directly on the OPEN SORE but I may try it tonight. And I am bout to run out, so we will see what happens. and oh on a scale of 1-10 what should I be preparing my self for woth the ooo??? Just asking

It's hard for me to describe the feeling-I have a very high threshold for pain. For me it was an intense burning, maybe about a 6 or a 7 as far as the burn.

How long have you been diagnosed Jazz? Your symptoms sound so severe, it makes me feel bad about complaining about mine.

I think I tested positive around May of this year. I started getting funky symptoms around December I think(the months just kind of blur together now)

well I am glad we are all finding some way to deal with it. In our own little special ways

Im not sure I AM dealing with it, Im so depressed. And then I feel guilty for feeling this way because others, such as Jazz, have it so much worse. Its another symptom to deal with I guess. The anger with no focus, the despair with no real justification, the change in body image that IS justified....sheesh. I think I need an antidepressant.

Try not to feel guilty, ouch. We each have our own problems to deal with, and part of living is figuring out how to do that. Jazz's extreme reaction to h doesn't invalidate the pain (physical and emotional) it causes you. sometimes remembering the pain others go through can help you deal, but sometimes you have to face your pain alone, as we all do.

You don't need justification to feel despair or depression. Those are just natural normal reactions to big problems. It's good to feel it, name it (as you have), accept it, and allow yourself to move on when ready; also, to remember (as I told you elsewhere--and thanks for your loving response!) to have faith in the healing power of your body, physically and emotionally. Takes a while, but eventually things will change. That's the essence of life, the one thing always true. Meanwhile, go easy on yourself and handle things the best you can. Things will be better, and you won't always see yourself in this light.

Hi all,

I've been reading the board for a while and have made some posts. I just wanted to know Jazz or anyone else....what is DMSO, H202, OOO, and OLE? I've seen them before, but can't remember what they stand for etc. If I'm not mistaken you said you can find them at a health food store? I just recently started taking 1 gram of Valtrex and 2 grams of SuperLysine daily. I've tried just 500 mg of Valtrex daily, but still experienced some tingling. I haven't really experienced actual outbreaks since I've been doing this....just tingling still during my period. It's been a year since the primary so I think my body is finally getting used to this virus in my body. I also had a blood test for H and it came back negative and I don't have classic herpes sores...just ingrown hair looking bumps and lately little what look like blisters. Is it true that tingling is defined as asymptomatic shedding or just symptoms of prodrome?

h202= peroxide
ooo=oil of oregano
ole= olive leaf extract
dmso=? that is an abv. for a longer scientific name that I am assuming really don't know that one but I think that every one knows it as DMSO. y OU COULD DO A search on it but I am auer that someone that knows will reply and let you know what it is>

DMSO is dimethylsulfoxide(or something like that) it's a biproduct made from the process of making wood into paper. It has the ability to absorb directly into your cells and tissue. Used with the H2O2, it helps to bring oxygen in direct contact with viruses in the body, which is supposed to kill the virus.(That's in short what DMSO is used for)
The tingling isn't so much viral shedding as it has to do with damage to the nervous system that the Herpes causes.

Thank you! I may give a couple of these things a try....just to see. I feel like I have things (o/b's) under control, but I'm still not sure when exactly the virus is active on the surface of my skin. I am so terrified to pass this thing on to anyone...so scared that anytime I date...when things go further, I just want to end it before it gets sexual. It's awful. So most of these products can be found at a health food store...drugstore....natural remedies???

Just added a new thread, but some people were asking what my routine was...so needed to put this one up again.
