Is there proof suggesting herpes last forever? - Herpes Message Board

As we all know, after our diagnosis the first thing is mentioned is you will have this FOREVER. For a few years I was a STRONG believer and felt there was no turning back until recently. I am beginning to question if one would literally shed the virus for a lifetime, ex. 60 years. Or the possibility of the virus becoming inactive. Any thoughts?

Hi,
I'm not to sure about genital HSV but, I have had oral hsv since 4 years old I remeber having outbreaks a few times a year and it has been decreasing ever since my last oral out break was approx 3 years ago so there may be some truth to the decrease but everyone is different.

I’ve written about this a few times, and I believe that we can cure ourselves. It was never proven that there is no cure, because it’s impossible to detect the virus in its latent stage. There are only 2 ways to detect the virus, with a swab from an active sore or shedding area, and a blood test. For people who are asymptomatic, a blood test will show the presence of antibodies, which would remain even if the virus was gone. So, it’s impossible to tell if an asymptomatic person actually has the virus. They just tell you you’re positive and write you a pricey subscription.

They say up to 90% of people with herpes are asymptomatic, why is it impossible that some of these folks are cured? I think it’s very probable! Granted, it may be extremely rare that someone has an immune system powerful enough to eliminate the virus. But, that’s only because of the unhealthy lifestyle we lead in the west. Very few people will change their whole life to the degree needed to eliminate the virus, mainly because they don’t believe it will work. They just accept what the establishment says, even with so much evidence to suggest that it’s all lies.

Nonexist, I love your attitude about this! I too believe that the human body is capable of healing itself and I refuse to accept this as a lifelong condition.

I have a question about your use of H2O2. I remember you said you started with 3 drops 3 times a day and increased by one drop until you reached 25, correct? And what did you do next? For how long did you keep taking the 25 drops three times a day? How did you stop, did you gradually decrease the dosage or did you just stop at the high dosage? I am thinking about doing this as a last resort. there are some positive testimonials on the oxytherapy website, though I wish they could be verified (did you read about the guy who tested negative for H after receiving 38 ozone injections? this would mean the antibodies do not necessarily remain forever!). Thanks and keep up the great attitude!

Hi Sophia,

In retrospect I think that 25 drops was too much for me. Right around the 15 drop mark, I started to get a case of diarrhea 1 to 2 hours after every dose. At first I thought it was a healing reaction, but it persisted. The weird thing is, I STILL felt absolutely amazing and cautiously continued with the full program. I stayed at 25 drops for 2 weeks, and then gradually decreased by 1 or 2 drops per dose each day over the next few weeks and then quit when I was down to about 10 drops. I read that you shouldn’t eliminate it all at once because your body will have a hard time re-adjusting.

I tried this because with so many differing opinions, there’s no way to know for sure if this is really bad or really good for us. I didn’t know whom to believe, so I had to try it for myself. I’m so glad I did, it made me a believer in oxygenation; and I don’t give a damn who says it doesn’t work or how many PhDs they have or how much research they did – I FELT it. It was this that also made me wonder why the whole medical industry is so dead set against oxygenation as a whole, and I researched this as well. This led me, politically, from common left wing thinking to the radical, anarchist views I have today.

As for the testimonials, I never take them too seriously, although I don’t ignore them either. I always thought antibodies stayed forever – which would be great for herpes, we might be immune to it if we cured it! I tried, but couldn’t find out if the antibodies for herpes are permanent.
