Ethleen,

It was a mixture of tea tree and lavender in a little olive oil.

These two oils will aid in the healing of an already erupted sore.

(lemon balm) essential oil is beneficial for reducing or preventing

eruption.

Hi all,

Please correct me if I " m wrong, but the Bergamot EO being referred to

for use with cold sores is NOT Beebalm, Oswego Tea, OR . True

bergamot is not even related to any of those, and is not related

to beebalm or oswego tea. So I doubt you'd get the same results using

those as true Bergamot (and I don't think EOs of those exist either.)

Marge, can you back me up?

HTH,

Tea Tree is great, as well as Bergamot (aka-Beebalm, Oswego Tea, and

also called ), and Eucalyptus. Always remember to add a small

amount to a carrier oil before applying any essential oils, which should

never be added " neat " , or straight, in other words.

Saul,

What if you ozonate the shoes and socks, could you prevent having to throw

them out?

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

Cold sores are herpes simplex I.

They are nasty viruses. They hide at the base of the spine when they are

not causing an outbreak. When your immune system drops a bit below

par, such as during times of stress, they emerge from under their rock

and set up shop on a mucous membrane. During an outbreak, it is contagious.

Ozonated olive oil on the lip during a breakout speeds up the healing.

The way to get rid of them is to funnel at the base of the spine with ozone

daily for three months. I know that is a very long time, but they are very

persistent.

You must be at least as persistent to kill the virus.

Suppressing them consists of taking lysine capsules. At the first sign of an

outbreak, take 2 lysine capsules, and then take 2 more every two hours that

you

are awake. The lesion will not form, and in two to three days, they will

retreat to their

hiding spot.

Taking an occasional lysine capsule, say once a week, will discourage them

from

popping out. And, keep up your B vitamins, which are depleted during stress,

and

allow them to emerge.

Athlete's foot is a fungus that is cyclic as well. Soaking in H2O2 is a good

method of dealing with it. If you keep it up for a few days after it has

gone away, while simultaneously throwing away the socks AND SHOES you were

wearing when it came on, you can get rid of it. If not, you will reinfect

from the socks or shoes, and it will flare up again when you are a bit

subpar.

Best of Health!

Dear ,

It is usually stress that triggers the outbreak.

When you have an outbreak treat the lesion topically with ozone without

breathing it: not an easy thing to do if the lesion is on the lip.

You can make a small cup to place over the lesion & have one hole to infuse

ozone & another hole to get rid of the excess ozone through a sucker motor

such as a vacuum cleaner or make a suction device from a 40mm computer fan

on the end of a swimming pool hose.

And as Saul says cupping of the base of the spine is indicated.

Regards,

Noel.

cold sores

Cold Sore. I have never had one in my life but my husband gets one on his

lip about once a year- always seemingly 'out of the blue'. My mom used to

too. Why do some people get them and others don't? I don't really understand

it - I have heard that once the 'virus' is in your body it never goes away.

Is this true?

He also gets bouts of what I believe to be athletes foot too... to help with

this he soaks them in peroxide but I know that all of these are just

symptoms of whatever is going on in his body! Compared to me though he

always has appeared to have a strong immune system, never getting sick, no

headaches, no off days, no complaints or ailments - always kinda middle of

the road.

Presently it has only been me who uses the ozone - ie. water, ears,

funneling.

I am wondering how ozone would help with this cold sore virus and why? (so I

can relay it to him - LOL)

I would appreciate any input.

Thanks

I use lysine, but I do take it every day and, now that I think about it I

should probablly just take it when I feel one coming on, good idea!! I also

take pantothenic acid daily. I also have Zovirax that I take when I get one,

it works very well but it is a Perscription drug...The best topical stuff I

have found is Herpecin, so I definatley know how to get rid of them, now I

just need to not get them in the first place,avoid the avoids, that will be

my motivation!!!! Latley they have been on my cheek by my mouth? They start

out as a pimple and before I know it it is a cold sore. When I was little I

would mainly get them when I was out in the sun all day. Now, more monthly

w/ my cycle, and I guess with the help of too many avoids...

I've use grapefruit seed extract when I've had mouth ulcers - as a

mouth rinse, and I've also occasionally used it internally. Hard to

tell for sure if it worked, but was trying to fight off a cold and

I've taken it for candida and I believe it helped. It appears to

have also helped one member of the family who has an aggressive case

of dandruff, so it seems to be antifungal too.

I have read claims that it is antimicrobial, antifungal,

antiparasitic and antiviral, but can't find anything very conclusive

on Medline about it.

This is a sales website, BUT they list these organisations as having

done research on grapefruit seed extract.

http://home.att.net/~mirage7/researchandsafety1.htm

Pasture Institute in Paris France

University of Georgia at Athens

Southern Research Institute, Brigham Young University in Utah

Northview Pacific Laboratories

Bio-Research Laboratories in Redmond Washington

It would be interesting to find out if they have done research on

GFSE, and if so, what they have concluded.

Sure would be nice to have another tool handy for dealing with HHV6,

etc.

I have used chewable acidophilus pills for mouth ulcers. I chew them up just

before I fall asleep at night. Before I found this remedy, several years

ago, I had constant mouth ulcers. This even worked for my disbelieving Son,

who now buys them at the drugstore to keep his mouth ulcers at bay.

I just came across this old email. Are you saying that VS-C is a 'cure' for

the herpes virus?

[Guest guest]

At the first sign of a cold sore (mine are usually fever blisters) I take a

couple of Polyflora. If the blistering continues I take 2 L-Lysine. Some

people can take L-Lysine daily and not have cold sores. I'm sure there are

other methods.

I know that when I've gotten cold sores it's usually an indication

that my diet is inbalanced. For other people it's different. If I

take extra zinc, C, the l-lysine like said (it does work)it

will help to kick the problem. Also, when you have a cold sore or

cancer sore I usually keep my lips moist all the time or the sore

moist all the time. If it gets dry it takes longer to heal. I have

generally used medicated ointment by Rawleigh's. It would be equal

to Vics (or is it Vix?) ointment. You know, the menthal stuff!

Goodness, I just can't seem to think today!

Use Lysine first sign of tingle.

[Guest guest]

To avoid it - eat as well as you can, you would take 1500mg of lysine a

day.

Cold sores are viral and flare up from imbalance, usually food and/or stress.

Definitely l-lysine and Vit C. For cold sores and canker sores I find that

using an epsom salts compress 2 x a day, as soon as you feel the tingle

sometimes stops it in it's tracks. For cold sores, I have heard using euclyptus

oil or tea tree oil might so the same thing.

My cold sore/fever blister problem has almost completely gone away

since I started ER4YT. The couple of incidents I have had were

extremely minor. I am pretty strict in my compliance to the food

lists and fairly compliant to the frequency recommendations.

I have also taken some supplements while on the diet that may have

helped with the problem. For instance, Bladderwrack may help as Dr.

D'Adamo mentions in the following article:

http://www.dadamo.com/napharm/store3/template2/fucus.htm

I take bladderwrack everyday.

I have also focused on supplements that helped for stress and the

adrenal glands.

Dr. D'Adamo also has an article about natural killer (NK) cells and

their importance. Herpes is talked about in the article. The reason

I mention this is I read an article in yesterday's newspaper that

presented the findings of a study that found that long-term immune

function decreases in proportion to how many times a woman has

intentionally lost weight, based on measured natural killer cell

activity in the woman's blood. I think the bottom line was that the

longer your weight is maintained at a fairly stable level the higher

your NK cell level is likely to be.

I read this and have used it with success although it would be hard for a

person with an active job. Just hold an ice cube wrapped in a napkin on the

tingle as soon as it is noticeable. I used to have my homeschooled children

do this as they did their lessons and it always worked to completely stop

the sore from forming. It needs to be there an hour or more.

Well, I've used hydrogen peroxide, but it is not tasteless, and HURTS!

However, it did seem to make it go away faster... of course, that's the

operative word... " seem " . I have no other evidence to suggest that it

worked. )

The good ole fashion..rinse your mouth with salt water a few times a

day should help...honest.

Try taking a supplement called lysine. It should be available at any

drugstore or possibly even at your local Target or Wal-Mart. Don't

pay the outrageous GNC prices for it. My mother and sister both

suffer from long-lasting (2 weeks generally from start to full

healing) cold sores or mouth infections, but when they take lysine the

problems clear up within 48 hours. I recommended the stuff to my

ex-bf, too, and he got the same quick results.

Just a tip..make sure not to accidentally swallow the hydrogen

peroxide. We give it to animals in an emergency situation to make

them vomit. I'm guessing it would do the same for humans. And we

only give about 1-2 tbsp and it works like a charm.

Colleen

[Guest guest]

Sounds like a miracle. I have never had cold sores inside of my

mouth before... only on the corners of my mouth on the outside

(where I am also getting one now!).

I will def. be picking up some lysine this weekend!

If what you have is an acutal cold sore (herpes virus) then call

your doctor and see if he will prescribe some zivorax...it will cut

down the healing time to days instead of 2 weeks.

Then keep some on hand..if yo feel that " twinge " start taking it

right away and it probably won't come full force...you can get this

in a cream or take it orally. It is prescription only.
