I Love your channel after getting my results last year... I never had an ob, I found out from a routine screening and this helped so much and help with the betrayal I felt
I got diagnosed a few days ago and finding your channel has given me a sense of peace and calmness! Thank you for your videos!! I got HSV1 down there, been using acyclovir
Could you pls share whether you have experience or know about NAC being effective for HSV? Secondly, is it ok to take baths/soak (it seemed you mentioned it towards the end of the video) while having ah HSV 2 outbreak? Just got diagnosed so I appreciate your channel.
Sorry, don't know about NAC. You can take baths if you have an outbreak. Even more, some people, especially if they experience painful outbreaks would take Epsom salt baths for herpes. They usually help tremendously.
Over 800,000 people in the US are infected with a form of herpes annually. They're just trying to sweep that under the rug because the money from prescription sales feeds their pockets.
Here is a treatment that worked to eliminate the virus permanently..it worked on one person who had lip lesions of herpes. Buy these items.. 5 ALA powder and DMSO liquid. From Amazon or any. On a sunny day dissolve a small q tip size bit of the 5ALA powder in the same amount of DMSO liquid. Apply to the lesion with a q tip dab it a few times. Then two hours later expose the lesion to full sun for 30 minutes ...it will sting a bit and kill the virus. In our case it has never returned for at least 5 years.. Its worth a try..the medival establishment is not doing it..time for people to find a self cure we can do..😅🎉
Nothing guarantees to prevent transmission 100%. However, a strong immune system will be your best bet to not transmit, since it will keep the virus dormant. So, whatever you can do for that is great.
I know a person who had periodic outbreaks on a lip. It was completely cured and never returned by using PDT or photo dynamic therapy. Just dissolve a pea size bit of 5ALA in the same volume of DMSO a solvent. Apply it to the lesion with a q tip just as it starts breaking out. Then wait two hours and then expose the lesion to direct bright sun. It will sting a bit as it kills the virus. Both these can be bought from Amazon or other sources. This method also cures other sun damaged spots on skin. It can be repeated if necessary.
I know a person who had occssional lesions on a lip. It was cured and never returned by using direct sunlight two hours after applying an ointment made of 5ALA dissolved in DMSO. Both of these can be bought from Amazon or other sources. Basically its Photodynamic Therapy..or PDT. It should be applied just as a breakout is starting. It can be repeated if needed. I know it works.
Your best bet is to get a western blot test. It's not covered by insurance, so you need to be prepared to pay for it, but it's one of the best tests out there, so that's your best option. Unless you are getting outbreaks, which is already a positive result and you don't need to prove it.
Assalam, Hello thank you for the videos ❤ Shoild we take lysine 3 times a day for a break out ? I have just started taking lysine 2 days ago, and my outbreak is healing faster than when on the anti virals! Which im super happy about, but i am feeling really tired after taking lysine and mild stomach upset. Is this just an adjustment period? Will the sleepiness wear off? Thnaks in advance, jazakallah khairan ❤
I have pain still.....but. Blood test is still neg after 9 months ? How to reduce pain I tried acyclovir lysin everything it reduce but not gone completely
I hate when people say such a high percentage of people have herpes. Be clear. Like 12% of people have genital herpes. Yes, we all know technically cold sores is the same herpes virus, but no one is considering cold sores "herpes". I feel like you and all hsv+ people know that, yet you just want it to sound more normal. Specify genital herpes vs cold sores going forward for more honesty/clarity.
Sadly, a lot of nowadays genital herpes is caused by HSV1. That's why it's important to educate people. HSV1 can be transmitted to someone's' genitals. While it is different to have oral herpes or genital herpes, it's still the same virus. That's why we don't feel one should be taken differently. From a medical point of view, they cause the same symptoms, they are equally harmless and have the same treatment.
I caught herpes being raped, when I was 15 years old. It was a very scary time in my life then. It still haunts me today, how all that took place. I am still embarrassed and am very humbled by it, I struggle with it emotionally it still stings. One thing that really has helped me a lot with this is I bring this before the Lord in prayer and I surrender it to the Lord all my pain and all the hurt, emotionally and physically. I constantly ask the Lord for his strength, comfort and mental peace so I can continue to live a purpose driven life through him. My Heavenly Father has helped me to forgive the rapist that did this to me and move on with my life. This hasn’t been easy but he’s helped me to develop my faith walk in him. He’s made it possible for me through this unfortunate situation to learn amazing lessons in life such as being more sympathetic towards others not be judgmental also it has kept me from becoming prideful for this is a very humbling thing to endure. Most importantly it has helped me to realize the importance of my relationship with the Lord Jesus in my life. This situation has put everything in to perspective and for that I am thankful. This was over 35 years ago. I’m 50 years old today and have made it through because of Gods grace and love in my life! Thank you for reading my story and for sharing yours, may God help us truly make a difference in others lives that are struggling with this similar situation, there is real hope found in the Lord!
Yup. It's due to the false positives and false negatives. I learned about that in my Public Health classes during my Practical Nurse training. Something needs to change!
