A Common Sense primer on Treating Herpes Naturally
from:The virus is going to be in your body for life, and believe it
or not, it greatly prefers to stay dormant, much like it's
cousin the chicken-pox virus that is also a member of the herpes
family of viruses and also in your body for life.
1. Forgive the person who gave you herpes. Even if you were
deceived and put at risk without your consent holding on the
anger and resentment not only aggravates your health but it also
binds your psychologically to a negative event which you are
powerless to change.
2. Forgive yourself for having herpes. Many
people with herpes feel dirty, ashamed, ostracized and
compromised by having what is for most people a simple skin
infection no worse than a moderate case of eczema. Accept that
you have herpes and that you'll likely have it for the rest of
your life and understand that having herpes doesn't make you
less moral, less ethical, less attractive, less worthy in any
way than before you became infected.
3. Get out of the closet.
Most of the stigma around herpes is self-imposed by those of
us-including myself who have herpes. Tell your close friends and
family members that you have herpes. Reach out for support and
understanding the same way you would if you had a non-sexually
transmitted disease. Most often they way others will react to
you is a reflection of how you feel about and project yourself.
The more you are at peace with your herpes the more likely it
will be that you will find support and understanding in the
community around you. Sixty percent of the adult population has
herpes 1 or 2 so you are a member of the majority not some
obscure minority.
4. Work on your triggers. Herpes only
re-activates itself when you trigger it with stress, too much
sun exposure, bad dietary choices, and unprotected sex with
someone else with herpes, a Candida yeast problem, too little
sleep or too much partying. Herpes is like a seed in a desert.
It will stay asleep indefinitely if the signal to germinate
isn't given.
5. Make peace with the virus. Either through
prayer, or creative visualizations, or meditations, or
affirmations or any combination of the former-make a peaceful
accommodation with the virus. Let go of anger and resentment and
angst. If you maintain balance and peace in your mind and body
herpes will become a relative non-factor in your life.
For diet- avoid caffeine in all forms including chocolate,
coffee, green tea, black tea. Avoid nicotine and excessive
alcohol consumption. Avoids all nuts and seeds except for hemp
seeds and flax seeds. Avoids raisins, carob, and gelatin and
cereal grains. Eat a low-sugar diet with only moderate amounts
of whole grain bread and whole grain pasta. * Reach for the
foods rich in omega fatty acids such as hemp and flax seeds.
Salmon, tuna, sardines and mackerel. Avocadoes and olives. Eat
organic yoghurt daily with at least 2.5% milk fat. Eat lots of
garlic or take a garlic supplement. Eat brewers yeast or take a
selenium supplement. * Take up yoga or tai-chi or qi-gong. Punch
a punching bag or play some tennis, racquetball or squash.
* Avoid L-lysine. Long-term use of L-lysine can actually impair
your immune system. Get your lysine from your diet rather than a
pill.
* Avoid magical quick-fixes for herpes such as dmso and hydrogen
peroxide, nonoxydol-9, etc. There are no quick-fixes for herpes.
