You don't have to take lysine daily for the rest of your life. When it comes to the common cold sore which people get at their mouth it is enough to take the lysine tablets till you have finished one bottle then give it a break. You can do this roughly 3 times per year. I at one stage got very bad cold sores which i believe were stress related and my doctor suggested the above for me and i've not had a problem since.
As for the herpes part of the healthboards, you need to understand that some people are posting about herpes and they are talking about genital herpes and others are posting about oral herpes (mouth/face area). The two conditions are both herpes, but occur differently and for different reasons and dont respond to the exact same treatement eg: lysine will help most people with oral herpes, but doesnt appear to have the same results for genital herpes. Some people know precisely what triggers their herpes o/b whereas some people have no idea.
On the whole, no matter which type of herpes you have, you have it for life and there is no cure for it. It sits there waiting to be activated by something, which could be anything from food, to stress, lifestyle, hormones, immune system etc. You can only do things to minimise the o/b's or the length of the o/b.
