Nonprescription Methods to Reduce Herpes Outbreaks

Monday, December 31st, 2007

There are nonprescription treatments you can buy to fight herpes. I’ve used a few over-the- counter nonprescription topical creams such as Abreva. I believe Abreva is supposed to be used for cold sore type 1 herpes but I’ve used it with some success on type 2 herpes. You need to use multiple applications during the outbreak for it to be effective.

It is far simpler and more effective to use Dynamiclear nonprescription solution because you use it only once during the peak of the outbreak. When I applied it to the weeping lesion it almost immediately formed a scab and began healing rapidly. It stings when it is applied but it’s no big deal, in fact, I think of the stinging sensation as letting me know the antiseptic liquid is working, destroying the virus.

Although Abreva is good, I prefer Dynamiclear. Less fuss, cleaner and faster healing. Plus, since Dynamiclear is an antiseptic, it is actually killing the virus, reducing the amount of virus in your system.

Genital Herpes Info and Remedies

Friday, December 14th, 2007

dynamiclearyoudeserverelief.jpgMost people who’ve been infected with HSV never know they have the disease because they have no symptoms. The signs and symptoms of HSV can be mild and go unnoticed. When the first outbreak occurs it is generally the worst, but some people never experience a second outbreak. Other people can experience outbreaks as long as 40 years after the the first outbreak. In my experience, the beginning of my outbreaks seemed unrelenting, one after another. At that time remedies were few and far between, but today there are many good choices, both prescription remedies and nonprescription remedies. This article will describe genital herpes and offer remedies, even a natural remedy solution.

When genital herpes is present, symptoms may include:

  • Small, red bumps, blisters (vesicles) or open sores (ulcers) in the genital, anal and nearby areas
  • Pain or itching around your genital area, buttocks or inner thighs

The initial symptom of genital herpes usually is pain or itching, beginning within a few weeks after exposure to a herpes infected sexual partner. A few day later, small, red bumps may appear. The lesions rupture and ooze or bleed. Eventually, scabs form and healing begins.

Women’s sores can erupt in the vaginal area, external genitals, buttocks, anus or cervix. Men’s sores can erupt on the penis, scrotum, buttocks, anus, thighs or inside the urethra.

Herpes ulcers can make it painful to urinate. You can experience pain and tenderness in the genital area until the infection clears. During an initial outbreak, you may have flu-like symptoms, such as headaches, muscle aches and fever, as well as swollen lymph nodes in the groin area.

Recurrences
Genital herpes effects each person differently. Some people experience numerous episodes each year but for many the outbreaks lessen over time. These factors may trigger outbreaks:

  • Stress
  • Menstruation
  • Immune system suppression
  • Illness
  • Surgery
  • Friction caused by such things as vigorous sexual intercourse
  • Fatigue

Sometimes the infection can be contagious even when lesions aren’t present.

There are many remedy options to help speed up the healing time of lesions and to reduce the frequency and severity of recurrences.

Zovirax, Acyclovir, Valtrex and Famvir are prescription drugs that can be useful for some people. These drugs can either be taken everyday as a “suppressant” or only during an outbreak episode. These drugs can have side-effects and can be very costly.

The Dynamiclear Combat Kit is an all natural product range that is designed to clear outbreaks quickly when they occur and reduce any possible recurrences. Many people have had great success with this combination of products. The kit combines both “topical” and “internal” approaches to maximize the results.

Go to War with the Virus

Good rest, exercise and fresh fruit and vegetable juices help strengthen the immune system. As with any disease or health condition an approach to improving diet and nutrition should be taken. An appropriate diet high in lysine and low in arginine, with vitamin supplements, may benefit those suffering from the herpes virus.

It has been found that the amino acid, Lysine, retards virus growth, so you should include in your diet foods high in Lysine and decrease the foods high in L-Arginine (an amino acid that supports the herpes virus).

Herpes Simplex FAQ - Frequently asked questions about herpes, STD HSV-1 and HSV-2

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

Q: Is herpes common?

A: Most of the population in the USA have herpes, either as genital herpes (HSV-2), or as cold sores. Estimates are that 60 million Americans have the genital form of herpes. Kaiser Family Foundation and The American Social Health Association estimate there are more than 15 million new cases of sexually transmitted infections each year.

About 80 percent of Americans have the common form of herpes, HSV-1. It usually appears as oral herpes and is often spread without sexual contact.

Q: What are oral herpes symptoms?

A: Oral herpes are referred to as “Cold sores” or “fever blisters” and usually breakout on the lips or inside the mouth. Only brief direct contact is all that’s needed to pass the virus. Cold sores are bothersome but harmless in children and adults but can be very harmful to a newborn.

Q: What are genital herpes symptoms?

A: There generally are none but when the outbreak appears it is a cluster of blistery sores, usually on the vagina, vulva, cervix, penis, buttocks, or anus. Symptoms may last several weeks and may return in weeks, months, or years.

The first outbreak is called “primary herpes” and may includes these symptoms:

• blisters
• open sores
• pain in the area of infection
• itching
• burning feelings if urine flows over lesions
• inability to urinate if severe swelling blocks the urethra

A severe “primary herpes” episode may have symptoms that include:

• swollen and tender lymph glands in the groin, throat, and armpits
• fever
• chills
headache
• run-down feeling
• flu-like feelings

Later episodes are usually less severe than the first.

Some people carry the virus but do not have their first episode until they are infected another time.

Q: What about the “tingling” sensation?

A: There is a common description of “tingling” in connection with outbreaks. Tingling has been described as a sensation similar to a rub burn, or a feeling that the muscle has gone to sleep.

Q: Who is susceptible to catching the herpes virus?

A: Anyone who has sex. Many people with genital herpes never recognize the signs of infection, so they have herpes and don’t know it.

Q: Can herpes be spread when their is no outbreak?

A: Yes, genital herpes virus can be spread through the skin although there are no visible signs of an outbreak. This is called asymptomatic viral shedding. Most people catch genital herpes from an infected partner who has no signs or symptoms.

Q: If I have herpes, is there a risk of contracting another sexually transmitted infection?

A: Studies suggest that being infected with genital herpes may increase the likelihood of contracting other STDs while open lesions are present.

Q: How can my partner find out if he or she has genital herpes?

A: Nearly 85% of people who are infected with HSV-2 are unaware they have it. Encourage your partner to speak to his or her healthcare provider.

Q: What if I have genital herpes and don’t know it?

A: You could pass it on to your partner or spread herpes to another part of your body, like your mouth or your finger.

Q: If I have genital herpes and I’m pregnant, can I infect my baby?

A: It is possible, if you become infected during pregnancy or you have an outbreak at the time of delivery, to transmit the infection to your baby. It is important to take precautions to prevent herpes infection during pregnancy, particularly if your partner has genital herpes and you don’t. It is strongly recommended that pregnant women who suspect they have genital herpes discuss this with their doctor because there are precautions that can be taken to help protect the baby.

Q: I think I may have genital herpes, what should I do?

A: With the help of your doctor, genital herpes can be managed. Don’t take a chance. If you think you or your partner might have genital herpes, see your doctor right away. There are only two FDA-approved type-specific tests on the market. Herpes Select 1 and 2 ELISA produced by Focus Technologies and POCkit HSV-2 rapid point of care produced by Diagnology.

Q: How long does it take for lesions to appear after infection?

A: Primary herpes usually begins from two to three weeks after the virus enters the body.

Q: What causes recurring outbreaks?

A: No one knows for sure but in many cases recurrent outbreaks have been associated with other infections, stress, surgery, menstruation, sexual intercourse, and skin irritations.

Q: How can symptoms be relieved?

A: In my opinion, the most effective way to deal with outbreaks is to use the nonprescription viral antiseptic Dynamiclear. When applied to open lesions this antiseptic kills the virus, lowering the viral presence in the body and helping your immune system regain control. Dynamiclear is applied only once during the outbreak and begins working immediately.

A doctor may prescribe acyclovir, famiciclovir, or valacyclovir. They may speed up the healing of lesions and weaken the virus. These prescription medications work in a different way than Dynamiclear.

Q: Is there a cure for Herpes?

A: No. However, in most cases outbreaks can become fewer and weaker over the course of a few years.

Q: Does Herpes cause cancer of the cervix?

A: No. Cervical cancer is associated with certain types of human papilloma viruses but not the ones that cause genital warts.

Picture of a Herpes Outbreak Plus How to Apply Dynamiclear

Friday, December 7th, 2007

herpessimplex1.jpgThis is a photo of a herpes simplex outbreak. Here is how to apply Dynamiclear. Dynamiclear should be applied to the lesions when they are at their peak and weeping:

1) Wet the cotton of a q-tip with water and squeeze out most of the moisture.
2) Place a few drops of Dynamiclear on the wet cotton tip.
3) Swab the lesion thoroughly with the Dynamiclear soaked cotton tip. It will sting, which is a good thing. It is destroying the herpes simplex virus.
4) Repeat for every breakout area, using a new q-tip for each area.
Dynamiclear works best when applied to the open lesions when the virus is directly exposed to the antiseptic solution. Apply only once per outbreak. Over time fewer and fewer of the herpes virus remain, which means fewer or possibly no outbreaks in the future.

I have herpes simplex. Here is how I gained control of herpes outbreaks

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

I caught herpes simplex type 2 when many doctors didn’t know much about it yet, at least mine didn’t. It was the beginning of herpes as an STD in the mid 70’s. Yeah, I’m getting old. And yes, it is under control now, barely bothers me at all, but that was not the case when I first got infected. It was a nightmare.

Back in the seventies there wasn’t the choices in treatments we have today. Today there are drugs like Valtrex, Famvir and Acyclovir. They all work in a similar way and are referred to as suppressives. These treatments only work while you’re taking the drug and stop working once you stop taking the pills. But back in the old days we didn’t have such drugs. I was given powerful antibiotics that didn’t do a thing to help me fight herpes. I finally went to a dermatologist and he actually helped me by writing a prescription for a chloroform and alcohol topical solution. It was harsh but did the job. It killed the herpes virus when applied to the lesions so fewer virus would remain and really helped me to reduce the severity and frequency of outbreaks. And I used to have terrible outbreaks in the genital area and my nose. And to walk around in public with a swollen blistered nose was no fun. It seemed I had one outbreak after another. It was emotionally very difficult to live with.

dynamiclearbottle.gifToday there is a nonprescription topical treatment for herpes that works in much the same way as the alcohol and chloroform solution but contains an ingredient to speed healing. You apply Dynamiclear (this is the brand name) to the lesion when it is at it’s peak. This antiviral solution kills the herpes virus right then and there. You only apply it once during the outbreak. It works right away! Dynamiclear works by destroying virus particles on impact, which affects both the initial outbreak that is treated as well as future episodes.

The fact that the herpes virus will retreat into the nervous system makes it difficult to eliminate completely. What you can do is attack the virus every time that it surfaces, depleting it with each encounter and diminishing the amount of virus retreating back into the nervous system. This can lower the virus levels in the body which helps the immune system have greater control over future outbreaks. This is why some users of Dynamiclear have had no further outbreaks. Other users have reduced the severity of their monthly outbreaks down to very weak, infrequent recurrences. It would have been such a blessing to me if Dynamiclear was around when I cought herpes back in the seventies.
