Hi there, thank you for your kindness. I have lysiene--I've used it for cols

sores. I'll try it out for the shingles. Thank you!

I'm so sorry to hear that. How tough for you. I hope you find some peace soon.

Have you look into l-lysiene which i believe depletes argenine? Also peanuts can

often be contaminated with fungus or mold or something like that from what i

understand.

found in two foods I've been eating a ton of lately--peanut butter and peas.

Still, doesn't help my doc's concern that my weight loss signals something dire,

like the big C.

Thank you. I was at my doc's for something else and so got on an antiviral right

away. But adding the B supplement and olive oil sounds good. I've used calamine

topically which helps somewhat.

I talked to another mom who got rid of a bad case in 10 days w high dose olive

leaf extract, b6, & b1 or 2. I'll check which one. C. Eat high Lysine foods.

For some reason pork can make the pain worse.

Baking soda, oatmeal baths. If you can handle benydryl, helps sleep.

If there's any question

microscopic examination using a Tzanck preparation,

this involves staining a smear obtained from a blister, cells infected

with the herpes virus will appear very large and contain many dark cell

centers or nucleicomplete blood count (CBC) may show an elevated white blood

cell count (WBC)

Hi barb, thankfully I was in for something else and got on an antiviral right

away. I have it on many parts of the left side of my body, but thank goodness,

not on my face (bc of the potential complications for blindness etc). I hope

this is the first and last time--the pain isn't so bad, buttge itchiness is

drving me wild.
