Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hi, Be careful with putting KT on cold sores. If the KT has turned to vinegar, you can get an acid burn from it, as I have done. Cold sores are caused by the herpes virus, which is a systemic infection. Therefore, while topical applications may help, you really need to take the KT internatlly for it to work best (KT is antiviral). Also, take lysine internally either as a powder or eat a can of beans until the outbreak goes away. Foods high in arginine like chocolate and peanuts make the outbreak worse because they help the virus grow. Finally, remember to avoid sweets when you are sick. Sugar causes your immune function to drop. Hope that helps, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
