When I had molloscum, I took 1500mg lysine 3x per day for a while, then 2x per

day. It took probably 3-4 months for it to go away. But when it was gone, then

I got a chronic flu that flared badly when I tried to stop the lysine. So I

kept the lysine for another 1-2 months, which kept the flu away.

My son had plantar warts develop in phase two of lysine, which required 8 months

of high dose lysine to eliminate.

Definitely, as herpes virus is leaving the body, it tends to cause " typical

herpes symptoms " on the way out.

For all five of us at my house who took lysine, when the lysine was no longer

required, it caused numb/tingling feet. So if you have that symptom, remove the

lysine.

It won't eliminate the virus that is causing the molloscum.

Thank you, Dana. Follow-up question: Are all wart viruses variants of

the herpes virus? What kinds of " typical herpes symptoms " should I

watch for? He has never had " cold sores " on his lips or mouth, for

instance.

At my house, the " warty-looking " ones were. Plantar warts on the feet, and

larger knobby ones on the hands. But there were some, smoother smaller round

warts, that did not leave with lysine, they required vitamin D before they left.

At my house [and we didn't have some of these symptoms before taking lysine

either], cold sores, warts on hands, plantar warts on feet, molloscum, flu, and

a rash that looked like possible shingles altho we had never had chicken pox or

the vaccine.

My son broke out with this years ago, it was ALL over his face and neck quickly,

I used PauD'arco herb and withing a month they where almost gone, he still has a

few bumps on his chin and inside of his nose so I was thinking of doing another

round of the herb again... it is a tough one to get rid of... I thought they

where gone and periodically another one pops up...

I alternated Oil of Oregano and Thieves' Oil every other night and my son's

bumps were gone within a month and a half. The smaller ones were the last to

die off.

I want to clarify that I actually applied Oil of Oregano and Thieves' Oil to the

bumps.
