Herpes is a very common infection and it is not well managed. This statement is almost tautological since the fact that it is not well managed is why it is so common. The causative agent is a virus and there are two types. They are herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2).
HSV-1 is commonly associated with coldsores. Those uncomfortable and unsightly lesions typically seen around the mouth, on or ajacent to the lips, that everyone has seen at some time. They typically start with some tingling sensation at the site, some blister-like small vesicles that break into an open sore which forms a scab. Sometimes the sore is small and short-lived but at other times it can last for quite some time, clearing in one place only to break out in another.
HSV-2 is widely known as genital herpes. Like type 1, it follows a distinctive pattern, but there can be wider variation in its presentation. Though usually covered by clothes and not publicly obvious, this form of herpes can result in greater social isolation for someone if others know of the infection.
Clearly, there are physical, psychological or emotional and social factors to consider when dealing with this infection. In all cases the prompt and effective treatment of outbreaks in individuals can lessen the harm to them and help to reduce the spread of the disease.
When I say this is a common disease, I’m not kidding. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
45 million people in the United States ages 12 and older, or 1 out of 5 of the total adolescent and adult population, are infected with HSV-2.
Nationwide, since the late 1970s, the number of people with genital herpes infection has increased 30 percent. The largest increase is occurring in young teens. HSV-2 infection is more common in three of the youngest age groups which include people aged 12 to 39 years.
Quite clearly something has to be done about this situation. The standard medical treatments have several drawbacks. They are prohibitively expensive, they have several nasty side effects and they take too long to reduce the period during which a sufferer is maximally infectious.
One excellent alternative treatment is available from Herpes Terminator. Remarkably, it is quite inexpensive, has none of the nasty side effects and deals very swiftly with the eruption stage during which a person is highly infectious. I believe it is available world wide.
This alternative treatment is a topical application and cannot remove the virus from deep within the cells of your tissues. However, drug therapy has been failing in that area too so that is no loss in comparative terms.
The best way to deal with the virus internally during its more dormant phase is by methods from clinical nutrition and herbal medicine. By supporting cellular health and boosting immune function you have a far better way to deal with the viurs than conventional therapies. After all, if they are so good, why do we have the figures cited by the CDC?
